As someone that doesn’t normally post full body pictures because of the mental impact of my weight image, I bought some actual sweats that fit me. This picture is after completing my goal of a full week of exercise workouts. It’s small steps, but it’s something that I did on my own.

If they, have a look online for some short work out videos using body weight, go for a walk. That's what I use to do before I could afford to go to the gym.

Yeah, I got look at other options in case of a negative turn of events.

A fell fit sweat pant is the best.

This is so awesome. Always love who you are and never be afraid to show yourself to the world! Goals with getting healthier can be a challenge at times but are so worth it in the end. And no matter where you end up, remember that there is a market out there for literally any body type :)

You are doing awesome. Exercise is awesome but real game lies in diet control and lifestyle change. Wish you a great success

I’ve been working on the diet part, I’ve lost 165 pounds in the past 14 months. This is just the next movement...pardon the pun. 😝

Thank you so much! It was not without help, I’ve been on doctor monitored diets. I’m trying to avoid weight loss surgery because if I can lose it on my own, I’ll do the work to get it off.

Well done! What did you manage to lose in the first week?

You got this! Here's what helped me drop 160 pounds: It's all small steps... Don't even visualize the endpoint at this stage. Tweak your diet and exercise routine just enough to shift into a slow, gradual, but sustainable weight loss.

It'll take more time, but you'll ease your body into the change, and you'll eventually just think of it as your normal routine rather than a 'diet' with a set finish line.

Also, there are guys into all body types out there. If you want to make a change, do it for you, not for others, and adopt the POV of "If you're not into me, whatever, I'll find someone who is" :-)

Now, if someone could help me relay that message to myself 20 years ago, that'd be super awesome lol
