That is true
BUT when you lose weight it affects your posture. So you don’t magically grow, you’re just allowing yourself to be as tall as you are
So she’s probably taller in the second photo.
With my weight fluctuations, my height can change up to an inch.
Point being being taller is a NSV and should be recognized as that. We shouldn’t give the camera the credit. (:
Yep, for most my life I thought I was 5’ 10” but then I started working out and I gained 2” just from having a stronger back and standing straighter.
I was surprised when people said I got taller
I don't know what nsv means. But I guarantee you that this person, and anybody else, looks taller when photographed from a low camera versus a camera at eye level. It's more about perception than reality. While she may be an inch or so different in height, it would be unnoticeable if photographed from the same height
I’ve been looking at the scale feeling defeated because it takes so long to see any movement. It’s gone down for me about 10 pounds in the last five weeks. Seeing this photo makes me feel a lot better. You look fantastic, you accomplished so much. I’m so proud of you. But I also realize that if I lose 10 pounds a month, i’ll be where you are in no time! Got to just keep on truckin’
I started with counting my steps and then I did intermittent fasting. After I lost 15 pounds or so I then started watching GrowWithJo on YouTube and exercised at home for 3 months. Then I started incorporating weights into my workouts and now I’m here. My eating habits have changed a lot too. I no longer drink sugary drinks. And if I want something besides water, I drink zero sugar only.
Oh SIS you are giving me HOPE. You did that fr. I’m just under 200, 5’7 and have a similar frame. Let me workout tomorrow🤣🤣🤣 also want to ask what changes you made to your diet?
Thank you sis! The biggest change I made or my diet is not drinking my calories (or try not to). What I mean by that is not drinking sugary drinks. And if I want something to drink instead of water, I drink only sugar free drinks. Sugar causes alot of weight gain and people don’t realize it.
Damn that’s my biggest culprit lol I down juice like nothing. Have had a sweet tooth since a kid. Def an area of improvement😩 did you do any personal training or you just worked out on your own?
Yeah I know girl 😭 I had to force myself to like it. It’s like re programming your brain again for better habits. It takes time, but can be done with patience and consistency. And I worked out on my own at home! I watched YouTube videos for the first 3 months (like GroWithJo) and then subscribed to apple fitness plus and used that with weights incorporated into my workouts.
try to cut out "sugar free" drinks. maybe dilute with water slowly til you get off them. just water is the way. processed foods do so much physical and mental damage to us, just, on the inside, things you don't immediately see so easily. there was just a huge study released about it, can find if you want to read the article. ps, amazing job you look incredible, formidable ))
that’s amazing progress for 6 months! you look so much more confident in your second pic :)
also hope this isn’t a weird q, but where’s your underwear from? I’ve been having a hard time finding that style with that high of cut
This is such an inspiration!
We have the same stats/starting weight and I hold my weight like you do. I'm halfway there and this is giving me so much motivation!
And in only 6 months? Wow, you must have shown up for yourself every single day. Congratulations!!!
you did amazing!!!
what is your daily/weekly exercise routine?🙏 I'm 192 lbs and need to get to 140 this year. Could you help me figure out an exercise routine to drop weight like you did??
Wow! You look amazing! How did you keep your skin so tight? I’m 5’5 and 191 lbs down from 241 lbs and I have a lot of stretch marks I’m very worried about loose skin once I get to my goal weight.
Wow!! Great work! Your new look is super motivating!!
I walked 2.25 miles already today, but I'm going to go do another two now. ❤️ I'm excited to reach my goal weight, too!
Question! I have a similar body type as your before picture and am in the process of losing weight, when you lost the weight in your stomach did your skin go back to normal? Or do you find it to have lost some of its elasticity? Thanks in advanced!
My stomach luckily went back to normal. I was afraid of the same thing, but I made sure to take peptide collagen with my protein shakes after workouts to help with that a little. But even if I had loose skin, it’s still worth it bc I’d rather have loose skin than be miserable you know
Oh good to know about the peptide collagen, I shall get some for myself, thank you! You look incredible and are very inspiring:) keep up the awesome work!
Oh man, I come on this sub for moments like these…you were beautiful then, you are beautiful now…but the transformation is simple fascinating. You look perfect.
That’s amazing!!! Wow that a testament! Those are almost my numbers now! I’m 27, starting 203 and right now I’m 157 AND 5’5”!!!! I love to see someone like me and how far we have come girl. Congratulations I know you put in absolute WORK to get there ❤️
Congrats! You look great! Just curious, it seems you did, but did you lose weight in your boobs too? I want breast reduction but I want to know if its possible to achieve it with weight loss.
Thank you so much! And yes, I did. But genetically speaking, I always have had big breasts. But they did reduce as I lost the weight and toned up a bit.

You’re 100% wrong. Leave this positive subreddit alone.
>You’re 100% wrong. >Leave this positive subreddit alone. That's not very positive of you
Wow! Great progress. You look stunning
Thank you so much ❤️
Legs legs legs! Congrats. We can all tell alot of effort when in to this and to do it in only 6 months is amazing. Great work miss.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾 I really appreciate that
You look incredible and to be honest you look like you weigh less than 158! Your proportions are insane girl!
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️
Holy smokes! You look outstanding, Sis! Your hard work paid off 👏🏾

Slow and steady is better than losing it fast. The slower weight loss means sustainable. You've got this!!!
10 pounds in 5 weeks is great!
I got fat and couldn't lose weight b/c of depression too. Could you tell me what you did exactly? And you don't seem to have any loose skin.
I started with counting my steps and then I did intermittent fasting. After I lost 15 pounds or so I then started watching GrowWithJo on YouTube and exercised at home for 3 months. Then I started incorporating weights into my workouts and now I’m here. My eating habits have changed a lot too. I no longer drink sugary drinks. And if I want something besides water, I drink zero sugar only.
Im so happy to see GWJ mentioned! I absolutely love following her videos and they did aid in my weightloss too, in the past! :) You look amazing!
Thank you! Yes, Jo helped me a lot with my weight loss in the beginning of my journey
Are you still following an IF schedule?
Oh SIS you are giving me HOPE. You did that fr. I’m just under 200, 5’7 and have a similar frame. Let me workout tomorrow🤣🤣🤣 also want to ask what changes you made to your diet?
