[Pics] 23/F from 190 to 150s, progress collage!
Here is the sloppy photo collage I originally created last summer. I added a couple of new photos since I've made progress again, although I've been pretty relaxed about my goals this past winter due to a stressful job. PHOTO
I'm 5'10. I started my lifestyle change when I was about 19/20, I turn 24 this summer. Keto followed shortly thereafter. I went from about 190 to somewhere in the 150s so far. Not sure what my goal is now, I think I'm aiming for 145 this summer. Happy to answer any questions, although I have never been one to follow the rules, so take my advice as you will.

The collage is a little confusing. It goes down as you go through keto? And then the childhood stuff? I'm really confused, because in the bottom it says you're 165lbs at 17, and in any of the pictures remotely near it I'd guess 130 max. You're built a lot like my girlfriend and that's about how much she weighs.
However the collage works, you're doing great!
Hi, Sorry about the confusion.
Yes I put the dates above the photos. It starts when I was at my heaviest and I was changing my lifestyle (keto was not long after). Then the photos from last year when I had hit about -25 lbs. Then the photos from this month.
The photos at the bottom are for reference - they're my different weights in highschool. I used my own photos for weight loss inspiration since I found it unhealthy and useless to compare myself to others. It's not easy finding photos of people with my similar measurements, which is why I ended up posting this. I had made it for myself really, and then someone messaged me the other day saying she was near my stats and that it was inspiring. So I finally dug this out, updated it a bit and posted it.
Is your girlfriend tall? I'm flattered that you thought I was 130, some other people were guessing 120, but being tall means my skeleton itself is heavier and that the weight is distributed over more area than a woman of average height. 145-165 is a perfectly normal and doctor recommended weight for someone at 5'10.
I'm also busty/hourglass shaped, so that adds weight as well. I think I'll take better full-body shots (that aren't black on black? oops. that was for a different thing originally) soon and update this since I'm realizing it's a bit of a mess right now.
You're a little taller than her, but she's 5' 8." I guess I just underestimate how much weight a couple inches will give you. Either that or you're way more jacked lol.
I don't think you have much more work to keep up, but keep up the good work! xD
