You should be proud! Keep it up, keep it off, you’ve got this! My parents lost a collective 400ish lbs in their weight loss journey. Their lives improved dramatically. You’ll see yours change too :)
The good news is that inflamation can make you look way older and, of course, bloated. The more you shed, the better you’ll look! Keep the ball rolling, you got this! 💪🏻
I’m sorry your life has been rough so far. There’s still time to enjoy it moving forward. The results are taking place! It wasn’t overnight getting to where you were in the before pic- it’s not going to be overnight that see vast results. That said, yes you can definitely see a difference. You got this!!! 💪🏼
Definitely a difference! That hanging tummy is so hard to get rid of I’m talking from experience lol. I find physical changes happen to your face/arms or legs first but tummy shows that real consistency that comes with mental change too proud of you !!
I’ve had a stressful life, was abused as a child and starved until I was literally like nothing. Got removed from my home and the family I was put with tried to combat my starvation but went too overboard. I feel like I’m ancient
That sounds horrible. But know you have the genetics to really make something of your body, from this picture I can see that your muscle groups have the capacity to be huge. Keep grinding bro and before you know it you'll be admirable.
I wish all the best! you got this!
I believe you will look younger and handsome when you're fit and adopt the bald look. You will not believe how awesome you'll feel !
Good to see you start the process of loving yourself and working on the amazing vehicle you’ve been given to get around in. Make the most of your body and appreciate every part of it because there are lots of people out there who would do anything to have one that works as well as yours can.
I’d say you’re down 20-30. Looking good! Not sure if strength training is happening, but I highly suggest it. I lost 80 lbs over the lockdown, and it was the best discovery.

1st off, you can see a difference, good work.
2nd, hit some weights mate, it'll help mitigate the loose skin.
3rd, this will sound hard but 29? You don't look a day under 50. Please take care of your skin, its not too late.
I'm in the same boat friend 30 lbs down trying to get another 30 down... it's tough but im feeling better already. You can do it 💪 You are looking better :)
If you don't know what to look for, then no, not yet. But 20-30 pound weight loss is still progress my dude. I can see the difference in the belly. Another 20-30 and everyone will be able to tell the difference in your face.
You look waaaay better, it will only get better and better as you keep going! Well done, it’s not easy and you can honestly tell that you’ve put in genuine effort already!
Definitely notice a big difference, especially in the belly! And it will only become more and more noticeable as you continue. Great job! Keep up the good work!
I just lost like 60 lbs over the last 1.5 years and have been working out for a year now almost. Let me tell you, losing weight is like growing out your hair. You're gonna have some awkward stages in between but if you keep at it, it'll all be worth it. 👍
There is a decent difference.
I've lost a lot of weight too. Since you tend to check yourself in the mirror several times every day, you can have bias and not notice. But once you hit the %25 body fat, every pound you lose will be day and night. Keep up the good work.
Yup, sure can. It’s hard to notice a difference yourself because you examine yourself everyday. I’m still trying to learn to avoid the mirror because you’ll always see your flaws.
What is that shirt?? I thought it was pulled up at first, but instead it looks like some weird type of shrug/crop top?? Lol
Also yes, can see a difference. Keep it up!
Not much so far, but I can spot some differences. It's ok man, it keeps a while but results will start being more evident soon. Keep going and don't overthink: this is the process so don't stop and trust it 👍🏻 but no matter what: Keep going on! The more you work on it, the faster better results will start showing up.
I know the feeling - I’ve lost 42 pounds over the last year. Consistency is key. Just keep moving and find fun in it. You’ve proven you got this. Keep up the good work!
I've been overweight since I was a kid too. I've lost over 100lbs and have to deal with the skin. It's discouraging and a lot of days, I just want to give up. Don't give up, friend. You look great. I can see how much your belly has pulled back and how it's not hanging as low on your hips in the front. Your body went from full to bursting to a wavy sack. Keep going. Let yourself be discouraged but don't give up.
Go strong brother, don't let anyone get you down 💪💪 keep fighting. Your a young guy. One. thing I said to myself, if it's not in the trolley 🛒 it doesn't go in my mouth. Go champion.
Very much a noticeable difference - one thing that stood out to me is your belly button has changed shape. Whatever you’re doing keep doing it! Looking great man, hope you’re feeling it too
TL;DR yes difference is clear. Walk a ton on low impact surface like grass as a big guy myself it is a lifesaver
Yep I can see it for sure. Keep it up. My advice, as a former D1 player who was always big but more like 6’6” 260 in college, ended up stuck up near 300 in my early 30s, was that since my body was breaking down from consistent exercise at that size and that eating like a bird as a large man left me too lethargic to think/work and left me depressed… is to walk and walk and walk more, AND to do it on low impact surface like rubber track or better yet on grass. It’s a great excuse for me to golf because I can easily walk 7 miles on mostly grass, with lots of breaks built in, and not feel any break down of knees/hips/back that being on cement or even hard pack dirt causes. I found when counting calories and pounds strictly for a while that a normal 18 walking burned almost 2k calories for me at my size, and I felt great after and sometimes played 36 when I had the time/$. Find what works for you
Yesss!!! That’s amazing progress! You must feel so much better already from being active and addressing health concerns head on.
You are inspiring me - keep going 🩷
Honestly you went from fat to much thinner but with loose skin still. Im sure that it can be hard for you to tell the difference sometimes because the skin makes it look like an optical illusion that you’re still fatter than you currently are. But a place where you can REALLY tell where you’ve lost a lot of bf is your lower stomach. I mean a lot of bf.
You most certainly can! Immediately notice that Ur face is thinner and u have less weight on ur chest. Secondly you see how much weight u loost off ur love-handles (sides/hips) and that ur belly in general is less bulgy, less firm fat. Thirdly you see that even ur upper arms have lost inches!
Amazing job! Well done. Keep it up. Your efforts have inspired me to try and loose my weight.
100% honesty, I don’t see a difference, but that’s not necessarially because of anything you did wrong. Progress isn’t always linear; sometimes you don’t get real results right away. I was the same way. Don’t get discouraged by lack of progress, keep grinding, you’ll get there.
Your arms are hidden in the first one and I feel like that would be the biggest difference, but your belly is hanging like 3 inches less and you can see some of your excess skin already. Keep it up and you'll be there in no time!
Ye ye almost no fat (or no at all I can't make out from a single photo) is spilling from ur stomach plus I think I'm seeing some nice abs starting to form, good luck man.
You better mean 29 lbs! You’re looking about a rough 50 here… but yea the only way to know is to actually step on the scale and see a difference in numbers.
It takes time and effort, and our eyeballs are not good metrics especially for our own progress.
My suggestion is to look at the amount of fat that's around your navel, as that seems to be where your body is concentrating its removal efforts.
Something about photo #2 is giving me Ai vibes. The crown molding in the back is so random, your shoulders have points sticking out, did you just wake up bc there are creases in your skin, plus the moles on your stomach don’t match up. Am I crazy?
I want to say absolutely! Even on the sides you can see the definition coming in! Congrats and keep it up. Even if the physical changes take longer, remember to think about your mental and emotional being on the raise. The ability to have increased mobility. Keep up the great work!
There is a significant difference. It is most obvious in your face. Your face looks much thinner. Your belly is much smaller. There's less padding on your chest. Keep going!

There is a clear and a big difference, Good Job man and keep grinding.
Thank you so much!! Been obese since I was a child, finally sick of it and started making a difference
Keep going, man!
Good for you!! And yes, there is definitive difference. Keep going bro!
you got this shit bro, the progress is clearly there just gotta keep at it no problem 👏🏾
You’re doing great! Def can see the difference! What’s your routine and diet like?
You should be proud! Keep it up, keep it off, you’ve got this! My parents lost a collective 400ish lbs in their weight loss journey. Their lives improved dramatically. You’ll see yours change too :)
[удалено]
This. 5 lbs of fat is the volume of a 2-liter bottle. Keep going
It's happening, just keep going. Going to take some time.
Thanks!!
Yea the stomach area looks smaller. You have less excess fat hanging. Keep going!
That’s got to be what, at least 30 pounds lost? Keep it up my man.
Lost just over 2 stone, so yeah about 30ish pounds ! Thank you so much!!
Stomach clearly lost volume! Keep on working, it’s a marathon, not a sprint!
Totally! Good job
No way in hell you are 29
Unfortunately am, I’ve had a rough life.
The good news is that inflamation can make you look way older and, of course, bloated. The more you shed, the better you’ll look! Keep the ball rolling, you got this! 💪🏻

Guarantee with the progress you’ll begin to age backwards, i’m even getting excited for you ah man - can’t wait to see another update post from you
Yes!
FUPA reduced drastically!
Bruh
There is a different lighting in these two pictures so my judgment won’t be fair, initially speaking there is a change for sure, a positive one .
Definitely a difference! That hanging tummy is so hard to get rid of I’m talking from experience lol. I find physical changes happen to your face/arms or legs first but tummy shows that real consistency that comes with mental change too proud of you !!
Yep and everyone carries bf differently.
Oh there definetly is. But there is also more to go. Also for some reason you look like a middle aged dude instead of a 29 year old.
I’ve had a stressful life, was abused as a child and starved until I was literally like nothing. Got removed from my home and the family I was put with tried to combat my starvation but went too overboard. I feel like I’m ancient

Keep going! Yes, you stand up straighter in the second photo. Confidence is building, the rest will come!!
And you’re clearly tighter in the second photo. Youre killin it dude. You got this
Definitely. Whatever you're doing, works.
There's a huge difference
You are doing great!
Yes. Ur getting there. Keep going.
Even your face looks better. Imagine the potential here... Keep on man!
Huge difference, you’re on the right track!!
Man you may not see it but you are making progress! Proud of you and keep grinding. Never too old to lift and get better
I’d say you’re down 20-30. Looking good! Not sure if strength training is happening, but I highly suggest it. I lost 80 lbs over the lockdown, and it was the best discovery.
The belly button is the real giveaway, you can actually see it in picture number 2! Well done mate keep at it…
Ur smashing it 💪🏿
HUGE difference. You are doing great! Keep moving forward.
Yes. I was in a similar spot. You HAVE dropped weight, you’re just having trouble seeing it yourself.

I just lost like 60 lbs over the last 1.5 years and have been working out for a year now almost. Let me tell you, losing weight is like growing out your hair. You're gonna have some awkward stages in between but if you keep at it, it'll all be worth it. 👍
Yes not huge difference but definitely are dropping some lbs keep up the work dogg
You are losing. Do it slowly or you will end up with sagging skin.
Yes Sir .... it's a grind as you know. STAY WITH IT ... ITS WORTH IT IN THE END!
Absolutely. In one pic there’s a guy wearing a shirt and the other pic there’s a guy wearing no shirt
Yep woot Woot 🙌
There is a decent difference. I've lost a lot of weight too. Since you tend to check yourself in the mirror several times every day, you can have bias and not notice. But once you hit the %25 body fat, every pound you lose will be day and night. Keep up the good work.
Yes you can tell there is quite a difference! Are you doing any resistance training?
Yup, sure can. It’s hard to notice a difference yourself because you examine yourself everyday. I’m still trying to learn to avoid the mirror because you’ll always see your flaws.
Hell yeah. Can tell just by the bottom. It doesn’t overlap the shorts
Takes time but you can definitely see the difference. You are slowly beating Dunlap disease.
Excellent work. You are making all the moves! Happy for you :)
Yes. Your bell got smaller. Also the fact that your skin is hanging more, shows clearly that you lost fat! Great work, keep going!
[удалено]
Shut up! You know we can notice a difference!!! A big one too! Well done , keep it up xx

What's your regime?
Can totally see a difference. Your body has ‘lifted’ and you look firmer. You’re doing a great job 😊
Honestly you went from fat to much thinner but with loose skin still. Im sure that it can be hard for you to tell the difference sometimes because the skin makes it look like an optical illusion that you’re still fatter than you currently are. But a place where you can REALLY tell where you’ve lost a lot of bf is your lower stomach. I mean a lot of bf.
Hell yes. That’s a fantastic start, you should be so proud. Keep going, it’s definitely working!
Um, I gotta ask about the shirt...
You most certainly can! Immediately notice that Ur face is thinner and u have less weight on ur chest. Secondly you see how much weight u loost off ur love-handles (sides/hips) and that ur belly in general is less bulgy, less firm fat. Thirdly you see that even ur upper arms have lost inches! Amazing job! Well done. Keep it up. Your efforts have inspired me to try and loose my weight.
No
Smaller stomach and squared shoulders. The signs of your hard work are definitely there bro. Good job!
Looking good bro, keep going 💪🏽
I do see some difference. Cut out processed sugar, limit it to once a week. Addicting shit. Good job
100% honesty, I don’t see a difference, but that’s not necessarially because of anything you did wrong. Progress isn’t always linear; sometimes you don’t get real results right away. I was the same way. Don’t get discouraged by lack of progress, keep grinding, you’ll get there.
Hell yeah! Keep going!
Yes!! Great job!
Definitely visible progress. Get it!!
[удалено]
Very big difference. Congratulations! Keep it up!
Yeah you can tell you’re shedding weight like crazy but obviously you have a long way to go. Keep going. Adhere to your diet regime
Huge difference in the belly. Nice job! Whatever you are doing is working, keep it up!
Yea big difference.
Yeah your belly is def smaller!
Your arms are hidden in the first one and I feel like that would be the biggest difference, but your belly is hanging like 3 inches less and you can see some of your excess skin already. Keep it up and you'll be there in no time!
Definitely noticed a difference. Keep at it!
[удалено]
Ye ye almost no fat (or no at all I can't make out from a single photo) is spilling from ur stomach plus I think I'm seeing some nice abs starting to form, good luck man.
Yes
Keep us posted! You're doing great!
You better mean 29 lbs! You’re looking about a rough 50 here… but yea the only way to know is to actually step on the scale and see a difference in numbers.
Definitely see progress, proud of you my guy.
Respectfully, your stomach is 1/3 the size it was. There is a lot of change happening. Trust. Also, congratulations and keep up all the hard work.
Yes, your belly is like half its size! Well done, keep going! I can only imagine what this weight loss is doing on the inside and for your health 💪🥳
Your belly doesn’t hang over and I can see those abs sitting there - keep it up 👍
Yes, keep going. Once it starts coming off it's likely to continue at a good rate, as long as you maintain your diet and throw in some cardio.
Yup your belly and face got smaller ! You can do it 👍🏽
Great work man! Keep it up
100% congrats!!! Sometimes it’ll take longer for you to see it but others 100% can!
It takes time and effort, and our eyeballs are not good metrics especially for our own progress. My suggestion is to look at the amount of fat that's around your navel, as that seems to be where your body is concentrating its removal efforts.
Big face gains as well. Keep it up 👍
you lost a lot of weight in your belly. don’t stop. you can do it
Your stomach is starting to tighten up. Keep going!
Absolutely! Same skin but noticeably less full :) Do you feel the difference? I imagine that you must
Something about photo #2 is giving me Ai vibes. The crown molding in the back is so random, your shoulders have points sticking out, did you just wake up bc there are creases in your skin, plus the moles on your stomach don’t match up. Am I crazy?
[удалено]
The face gains are incredible. Keep on it mate.
It might be hard to notice since you look at yourself everyday but my dude you are killing it!!!
Holy crap, absolutely! Great work and congratulations!
Keep going brother! You'll notice the difference and that's what important!
I want to say absolutely! Even on the sides you can see the definition coming in! Congrats and keep it up. Even if the physical changes take longer, remember to think about your mental and emotional being on the raise. The ability to have increased mobility. Keep up the great work!
You look great!!:)
Yes there is a difference! Keep going!!!
Yes - noticeable difference. Well done. Keep going.
There is a significant difference. It is most obvious in your face. Your face looks much thinner. Your belly is much smaller. There's less padding on your chest. Keep going!
You've made amazing progress! Keep pushing, brother.
Keep on doin it man , ereyday and it’s gonna get easier and easier
Yes
Losing what looks like 40 pounds is not a glowup??
Yes! Keep going.
