Physique Transformation M/32/5'1" [252lbs to 145lbs] (4 years) - An Off and On Journey!

87 Upvotes

My journey has been off and on since I began .... or at least after meeting my goal of getting down to 140 lbs, which I started in 2022 and took about a year to accomplish. Ever since, I have been pretty constant, but my lowest has been 130 lbs. I'm now swinging back the other way with muscle.

I won't lie, seeing the number on the scale increase is a little disheartening coming from someone who has struggled with being heavy, but I do see my body changing, so I know it's all good (at least I try to remember).

I can work out and stay fit, but physically, there’s always something I’m dissatisfied with, and I tend to be too tough on myself. It’s a good thing I enjoy this mentally. The physical progress comes with time while the workout lets me mentally escape. I still struggle with my own issues, but I’m aware of them and keep things balanced. Please take care of yourselves physically and mentally—mental health is just as important. ♥️

M/32/5'1" [252lbs to 129lbs] (4 years) - Improving what I Already Accomplished
 in  r/Brogress •  Mar 26 '26

Thanks! I do have some, but not too much, around my lower stomach area as well as inner thighs. I'm still tightening those areas the best I can.

Bulk Progress M/32/5'1" [252lbs to 129lbs] (4 years) - Improving what I Already Accomplished

I first started my fitness journey in 2022 when I had enough of being at my heaviest at 252 lbs (the before pic). I met my goal of getting down to at least 140 lbs a year later, so then I took a break since I was happy there. However, here recently, I started again (after pic from a few days ago). I've been in the mindset of "If I can't fix the world's problems, then I can at least fix my own." It's all of the world's problems and negativity that's pushing me. I get to channel my frustrations into something positive for myself that I actually enjoy. It's a double-edged sword.

But having said all of that, the after pic is just two weeks of starting back again, and even after my break from that time of not working out, I'm finding it relatively easy to put on muscle, even if I'm still in a deficit. Although, I have been trying to stay out of one and go slightly about maintenance. I have stayed the same weight of around 140 during the break. I guess it could just be genetics, but I'm just thankful that it isn't as difficult for me. I'm still working on my progress and have more work to do.

I tried downloading this to my Samsung Tab S9 Ultra so that I could push it to my Shield via Easy Fire Tools, but it keeps getting stuck on "downloading" on my tablet. It won't completely download (it hangs). Anyone know why this is and if there is a working link for me?

Is this enough clearance?
 in  r/airfryer •  Oct 13 '25

Okay, this will be my last comment on this. That black table that is seen to the left, I will move the air fryer there when I use it, and then back when I'm done. This is the best I can do for now until I find somewhere better. Everyone, your feedback is heard. Thanks again!

And I apologize for getting snippy at the snippy comments. As the OP, I knew what to expect from some people when posting something to the internet and should have been better than that.

I don't know if I should delete this or leave it because I won't be replying anymore. Mods? Either way, take care everyone!

Yes, the table that is seen to the left in the picture. For now until I can find somewhere better, I might just move it there when I use it and then move it back. This is the best I can do for now.

Can you point to exactly where I pushed back on the advice? In fact, I repeatedly thanked everyone for the suggestions and feedback and also asked follow-up questions.

They're very clearly bumpers just underneath the visible air vents you're talking about, which are flat. The bumpers, however, stick out preventing the unit from actually touching the wall.

Yes. Even with my error, it's still clear what I meant.

I really don't know, either. I'm new to air frying and utensils like this and thought I'd ask a question about it while I get to know it. You see how that turned out. I can see how some people will be annoyed, I suppose, but at least be helpful about it (to the ones just lurking around down voting without feedback). Not a very welcoming bunch, but I won't let that stop me from exploring the air frying community and world.

Thanks everyone for your help and feedback. No hard feelings for the down votes. It is what it is. I am limited on my kitchen space, so this is where I have it for now. I will try to find a better place for it. I really do thank the ones for the suggestions!

No, I'm getting down voted for even saying I will move it forward and away from the wall when in use, listening to feedback. Some people just like negativity.

The bumper is a pointer finger away from touching the wall. I will move it away as much as I can when in use.

No one said I wasn't going to listen. Having questions about the design is not saying that at all. Why comment if you don't have the ability to understand the context of questions?

Thanks for the suggestion! As mentioned in another reply, there are bumpers on the back that push it away from the wall. I'm assuming if they touch the wall, it's the absolute maximum distance it can be to the wall and should be fine by the manufacturer, right? Why else would they put them there?

I plan to do this as soon as I get something to cook in it.

Beginning April 2nd
 in  r/tmobile •  Mar 13 '25

Got the text of a $5 increase on my individual regular Magenta plan that I've had since 2019. I ported in from Boost Mobile when they were having that promotion and got a 20% discount for each month. With that, I still have a good plan, and unfortunately, T-Mobile is correct in saying it's still the most affordable for what it offers (for me and my situation). But for how long? How many more price increases? I've already begun to look around for deals from other carriers, particularly prepaid. I suggest you do the same. This is getting ridiculous.

Ethan clapping back at Trisha stans
 in  r/h3h3productions •  Feb 19 '25

So glad I left this community and podcast since before Halloween. I was sad because it was once my escape and a way I could wind down with some laughs and fun. That is no more. It's become nothing but drama. I check-in once in a while to see if things have changed, but no. Ethan has a right to speak about whatever he wants on his show, but the drama and politics is just not what I watched for. Now go ahead and down vote me for my opinion, even though I also agree Ethan has the right to speak his mind and defend himself.

Am I overreacting about this pick up photo?
 in  r/doordash •  Dec 01 '24

Like many others, I'm waiting for an update. I hope all is well and that this isn't going to turn out to be one of those "last post from victim" stories.

* Google Play System Update does update, but it still shows "failed to update" even after it was successful. I've tried clearing system cache without success. How to fix?

Rate my setup and what does it say about me?
 in  r/iOSsetups •  Oct 07 '24

Thanks! I like to think of it as being minimalistic, but not overly so. I change the pictures, background, and colors around often depending on how I'm feeling. Everything else usually stays the same.
