Losing belly fat for men

Still ashamed and disgusted that I ever let myself get that fucking fat. But depression is a mother fucker, what are you gonna do. 5 years of being fat and having man boobs and being constantly sweaty and out of breath were enough. Started working out religiously and eating right in January, and now here I am 9 months and over 80lbs later. Still have some work to do but still, I’m beyond happy with the progress I’ve made.

Losing weight to get a sexy shape

From left to right:
1. January 2015 – 198.8lbs
2. December 2015 – 135lbs
3. December 2016 – 144.6lbs

Yes, I am heavier now than I was a year ago. My body has changed so much for the better with increased muscle mass and strength.

Size doesn’t matter. Weight does not equal size. I wear a smaller size now at almost ten pounds heavier than I did in the middle photo.

Don’t be afraid to eat. Don’t be afraid to lift heavy. Don’t be afraid to indulge yourself occasionally. It doesn’t take one day to lose 60lbs, much like you won’t put it back on after one day.

weight loss is the secret of beauty !

To think that I was that big and I wasn’t even my biggest… It’s strange because I don’t see myself as that big but at the same time I do. Like I’ll put on a shirt thinking “this will never fit!” and no and behold it fits fine and I look good in it(example that knit sweater I have on in the during pic! I’m a person that always eats what she wants and never held back and didn’t have any idea of portions or anything. I’d snack constantly on anything I could, a lot of dry cereal, chips, and chocolate. But I still eat those just not as much. And a lot of the weight-loss is because of the job I got that requires a fair bit of physical stuff. Nightly I walk anywhere from 4-8 miles a night depending on what I do and where I’m going.

But what I want to say is that if I can do it, and trust me there are many many tears involved to this day they are, there’s hope for anyone to do this if they want to. I’m nowhere where I want do be but I know if I continue to try I’ll Get it!!

losing belly fat makes the body look charming

Was looking back at my Camera Roll today and wanted to compare pictures from the start of this whole thing to the ones I took this morning. Wow.

Left picture was taken on January 6 this year. I think this was around my highest weight of 165. There’s almost a thirty-pound difference between these two pictures.

How she has lost weight through walking

On the left is me at 15 stone back in March/April 2016 before moving to Spain for 8 months, and on the right is me today weighing 12 stone and living back in the UK as of December 22nd!

I wasn’t planning on losing weight at all, it just kinda happened because the food in Spain was all organic and healthy (but I still ate a tonne of fast foods and sweet things!) plus I walked everywhere, and that became the only exercise I did!

I like to think this is proof that there’s no need for excessive diets and exercising, just eat a little healthier and do what exercise you can

Such an inspiring story - against all odds, she has reached her goal in losing weight

It’s 2017. You need motivation? No, what you need is discipline. 
IT’S TIME TO FOCUS.
Force yourself to do things. Force yourself to get up early, make your bed, go get ready, and go. Force yourself to make plans for the day, and follow through with all those plans. 
 Be selfish. Stop giving your time to people that do not matter. YOUR TIME IS SO SO PRECIOUS. STOP WASTING IT!

This is the most important thing that you can do right now, take care of you. Stop being distracted by the world and it’s never ending problems. This is the time that you need to put toward yourself because you are the greatest investment of your life.
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

EVERYDAY is a chance to wake up and give your 150%. 
EXHAUST yourself. That is the only way to give your all. At the end of the day, you should be exhausted from working so much, from reading so much, from exercising so much. 
Don’t go home because you are tired. Do whatever you need to get done and don’t come home until it’s all done. That is how you know you are giving it your best. Go to the gym, and give your work out your all. 
When you go home, you should feel like you are drained. You should feel like you have nothing left to give because you gave it your all. Because then, you can be proud of yourself and everything you have achieved. 
Giving it your all is what matters. Give your all every single day. Discipline your mind and your body and you will become successful.

You fall back one day? That is O.K., try the next day. You are human, so accept your mistakes. However, love yourself enough to know that you will never giving. 
THIS IS IT. THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Right now, no matter what circumstances we are all in, is what matters. Take advantage of today. Write down your dreams and force yourself to work toward them, one day at a time. 
IT’S TIME TO FOCUS.
THIS is your year. This is your life. One day at a time baby. One day at a time. Go ahead and don’t stop.”

Making before and after weight loss photos

One of the hardest parts of losing weight, it is the feeling that you're not really making progress. Although the numbers of the scale are soaking, you can not see a visible change when you look in the mirror. Therefore, before and after pictures of weight loss are so useful. 

Taking before and after pictures of weight loss: 

Before you start taking pictures before and after weight loss, you should establish a regular schedule. Take a snapshot of every month you will see a steady increase in your weight loss. 

For before and after photos, to be effective, must be able to see as much of your body as possible. If you feel taking a naked or in underwear at home photo, this is the most effective way. Otherwise, wear a bikini or a swimsuit or tight clothing such as a shirt and cycling shorts. If possible, keep your clothes on the same for each image. 

Then you want to set up your shot. You want to have as much of your body as possible in the pictures, but want to be close enough to clearly see the changes in your weight loss program is. You can take pictures of the knee to help you to shoot close-up. 

If you do not have a friend or family member you feel comfortable asking to take pictures for you, use the automatic setting of the device. If possible, take notes or make a small mark where you are and where you place the camera. This will help keep your uniform before and after pictures.
 
You want to take pictures of two different poses - one front and one in the profile. This will cause changes in the shape of the visible body. 

You might be surprised how much it changed once to compare images of yourself before and after weight loss. When changes in body shape gradually get used to the way you look in the mirror. But to see a snapshot of a month before, you can see that the loss of those pounds really made a big difference.
