ultrablaze Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well I've been doing pretty well with about a year into this whole fitness thing, had a lot of setbacks and injuries but I've definitely been going in the right direction with diet and exercise, and feeling the change. Sometimes it is hard though, and I wonder if it is worth it. The realization of how big of a change there has been only hit me today when I stumbled across a picture from about 1 and a half years ago and I compared it with my latest "record" pictures I take every two weeks to track. I'm shocked at how out of shape I looked then, it wasn't really clear in my mind until this moment, but I'm so glad I took the steps to turn things around when I did. I'm not at where I want to be yet, but man have I gone in the right direction. At the point of this picture was more or less when I had finally been fed up with hating my body for my entire life, and decided to actually make proper changes. It took 6 months to really get going (when I moved abroad and got away from my usual circle of family / friends habits), and this last year has gone well. Pictures : - Summer of 2014 : http://postimg.org/image/d8tvmffcb/ http://postimg.org/image/qsw4a4ufr/ - Now : http://postimg.org/image/difo1zamx/ http://postimg.org/image/afnasxfcz/ Total difference from then to now between the 2 pictures, about 1 year and 6 months apart : - 85ish kgs to a steady 73kg the last few months, at 1m82 - Incapable of a single pull-up / chin-up to now currently doing 3x4 and 3x8 respectively on my bodyweight workouts and looking to keep increasing it. Anyway, this was a bit of a remotivator after a hard couple of weeks, so wanted to share it with this community and website which was a big part of getting me to make that initial push of habit changing and lifestyle improvement. Here's to having another great year for everyone! 4 Quote Link to comment

Super Sam Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Now that is some very visible progress. Looks like more than just 12 kg, but then again you've probably gained some muscle too Quote Link to comment
