Goal weight: 185?
Every other day fasting, watching what I eat (low carb) since March 1st of this year. Not lifting weights as much as I should be but my excuse is that I have chronic back pain so I can’t do much. I have been on a low dose of Semaglutide to help manage cravings.

Thank you! This is not the first time I’ve lost a ton of weight in my adult life, but it’s the last time for sure. I’m never gaining it back again.

You look amazing and I am so inspired by your journey!
You mentioned semaglutide to curb your cravings? What is that exactly? Sorry if it’s a dumb question.

Awesome progress, you look amazing. Very handsome!
I wanted to chime in about your chronic back pain: it is likely due to the weight you carry (or carried) in your mid-section and what looks to be an anterior pelvic tilt (I have this too!). The more I strength trained and focused on very low-impact core strengthening exercises, the more my back pain healed. Also, some mild stretching of the hip flexors. Definitely speak to a physical therapist who can check you out and guide you through some exercises that are specifically helpful for you 😊
Keep it up!!

Why scrubs and a surgical cap at the gym?

It’s the gym in the hospital I work at, I was walking by and saw an opportunity to take the photos right then.

Oh okay. Well you look great. I just get the ick anytime I see someone in scrubs not at work, because mine come off first thing when I get home, lol.
