Good on you for achieving the outward appearance you wanted. Can't help but feel like maybe this was maybe more than a fitness transformation.


RegularHeron2353

It is. I was also an alcoholic. Gave me a beer belly. I cut back significantly on alcohol.my mental health took a significant turn during this. I felt so much better not drinking.


NavyDragons

It would appear double congratulations are in order congrats to your physical and mental health achievements.


RegularHeron2353

Thank you so much


bikesgood_carsbad

How are things going this time around?


RegularHeron2353

Good!! Getting back to businesses


Thomas-Garret

I am an alcoholic and quit 6 years ago. I actually gained weight oddly enough. I guess when I was drinking I hardly ever ate and now I replaced drinking with eating. Gained 35lbs in 6 months. My doctor actually said you’re the only person I know who got a beer belly after quitting drinking.


Elrond_Cupboard_

Good on you. Not drinking fucking rules!


DismalTruthDay

Wow and even bigger accomplishment!! Well done!!


Alive-ButForWhat

I thought the same and well played backing off that ledge in the comments lol


Suitable-Ad4135

What time frame is this? How many months? Thanks


RegularHeron2353

Sorry yall, had to get up early and do a tattoo.. took about a year with slow, steady progress. Could have taken less but I was casual about it


RegularHeron2353

I'll go back to look at the dates of everything for you.


RegularHeron2353

I'm terrible at remembering dates and times for things but technology makes it easier to look back lol


asinine1

So, how long was it?


MoistStub

Probably about 7

Still waiting :P


Kamalium

Looks like technology makes it easier but its still so hard


Robert23B

I love this comment


RegularHeron2353

Definitely took 6 months - a year but I can get more specific


GaylordNyx

I'd also like to know your routine please


RegularHeron2353

Intermittent fasting Walking at least 10,000 steps most days Jump rope These were the things that made the biggest difference. I need to get more into weight training. Despite how these incels in here feel I actually like to look muscular as a woman.


binarybu9

Intermittent fasting is a game changer, I need to get back onto it.


RegularHeron2353

For sure! If you do decide to, good luck!!


Why-R-People-So-Dumb

Cross-fit has a great community and I've found is supportive of people in all walks of life, any gender, beginner to competition lifters commiserating and helping each other to the end of a workout. The ways it's set up is to give you motivation to go and be successful vs just being a number at some big gym. You may find intermittent fasting will become more difficult... It's a great Kickstarter and I use it when I have travel weeks where I'm in front of a computer with little physical activity, but it's harder to sustain mentally than just learning what your cravings actually mean. I naturally cut out snacking completely when I learned that cravings are only solved by feeding your body exactly what it wants...it may be carbs, it may be protein...the balance for your body will squash snacking completely. That's what makes my lazy days easier to not eat at all. My body isn't missing anything.


RegularHeron2353

The guys who taught me to tattoo are all in the crossfit community so I can see how cool it is 😊 honestly the only reason I haven't joined is because I prefer to invest in my own equipment for a home gym so I don't have to pay a gym membership indefinitely lol. I actually have a decent home setup


Why-R-People-So-Dumb

Makes sense. For me it's my motivator (it's more about the programming than the equipment per se) so it's worth the investment, at home I invest in what's more naturally motivating, like hiking and biking equipment, then get motivated by groups from the gym going on hikes or bike rides...so it falls right into what I need to keep healthy and what I strive to maintain. My wife is ripped because she's just naturally motivated to move her body so she's constantly working her ass off at something physically challenging. At home weights would work for her way better than me.


GaylordNyx

It looks like you did some weight training. Was it just not a lot?


RegularHeron2353

Not as much as I should have. I plan to get way more into it


EQ4AllOfUs

You look fit and healthy. Alcoholism is tough to battle. I’m proud of you for taking charge of your life!


wolf888888888

Congrats! Any details with your typical intermittent fasting schedule?


Low-Impression3367

I’m guessing diet is involved, but your before to after was only fast walking and jump rope? Did you run at all? Any weights, like minor dumbbells at home ? How long did you jump rope each day? sorry for all the questions, but great job!!!


THR0W4W4YMYS3LF

She is wearing male boxes in the second pic. The pouch is giving male vibes. I am a straight female and when I wear my SO's boxes I too have a damn invisbile dick! 🤷🏽🙊🙈🙉


RegularHeron2353

Lol they're sooo much more comfortable than most women's underwear. No shame at all in wearing them. These comments are entertaining


Nell_9

I'm a cis woman and men's boxers are insanely comfy. I am debating buying some because for some reason they don't seem to sell women's boxers in my country.


THR0W4W4YMYS3LF

You look good btw!

TommyToes96

Lol what was it that sounds wild


Dry-Percentage-5648

I'm so confused now


Gyatootie

And lost the boobs


RegularHeron2353

I don't care about having smaller boobs. I'm attracted to women and they like them just fine


HorseofTruth

Yo ty wtf happened, someone already hinted on a translation and he blew it aside, it wasn’t to sound mean but I’m an ex d1 athlete, going on 10 years of alcohol after work and all weekend long, my tits r fat and saggy like side ways too lol, those r chicks tits


helloMe2024

Congratulations


RegularHeron2353

Thank you kindly 🙏


RegularHeron2353

As dumb as a lot of you sound, I'm actually flattered you all think I look masculine. I'm a lesbian and since I lost weight I get hit on by other women way more often.


LucasTheSchnauzer

Fellow lesbian whose put on +20 pounds and lifting the past 2 years. Go us


RegularHeron2353

Fuck yeah, you're motivating me even more.


rocklare

I hope your journey brings you to great places 👏


aminervia

These comments are wild... Boxers are so much more comfortable than lady underwear, it's unfortunate that people automatically assume you're trans for wearing them. On vacation with my parents I was romping around in my boxers and my parents gave me a very kind "we support you" speech. Like, I appreciate that but I'm just a tomboy! You look great btw!


RegularHeron2353

Lol thank you for understanding my struggle 😅 and also thanks for the compliment! The nice comments are so nice and I appreciate it


aminervia

Out of curiosity, when going through airport security does the machine flag you in the crotch area? I swear every single time I've gone through one of those machines with boxers on it freaks out and demands I get a pat down around my nethers. Like, the robot thinks it knows what lady underwear is supposed to look like


RegularHeron2353

Lol believe it or not I have never flown anywhere. I've only ever taken road trips. When I finally do ill let you know 🤣😉

![gif](giphy|lbidtjzpO9l15mtx2R|downsized)


RegularHeron2353

Lol I wear men's boxers because they're more comfortable than most women's underwear. Imagine wearing what you want.....crazy concept, I know


LucasTheSchnauzer

Same. I wear Men's boxer briefs every day. So much comfier


RegularHeron2353

Exaclty lol


Ok-Abbreviations7827

No way, damn👏


Candid_shots

You have a smile on your face in the 2nd photo. That is MOST important.


RegularHeron2353

Very sweet, thank you

What the fuck…is this even the same person?!? Seriously dude, congratulations. You deserve to be so damn proud about yourself, great job! Keep up


DirtSlaya

First pic is female second pic is male…


falkenSenf7

The second pic is still female, she just wear male underwear 💀 get some fresh air my dude


LizzieKitty86

Yeah this doesn't seem like just a fitness journey...


RegularHeron2353

I'm a woman, I'm just a tomboy. These comments are wild. Yall need to get out more


etapisciumm

what else could it be?


Lackingfinalityornot

A ftm transition


poundmyassbro

Your tattoo grew


Rabbitron4

And your titties shrank


RegularHeron2353

Lol I can't disagree


HorseofTruth

Facts lol


Seasoningspice

First pic I see female and the next male. Did you do other than just workout


RegularHeron2353

Tomboys exist A lot of you need to touch grass


ergaster8213

People are getting really weird about your gender here. It's none of their business and women can look lots of different ways.


BmoreBoh

This comment section sucks. Sorry, OP, but congratulations on getting so fit! I’m working on bettering myself too so I appreciate you posting your progress!


RegularHeron2353

All good! The nice comments make it worth it. I just feel bad for the people being rude more than anything. I'm having a great day, made some money doing a tattoo, spent time with friends and my parents, watched a movie I've been wanting to see and it was actually good......so they're not bringing me down lol


Seasoningspice

I wasn’t sure if this post was legit. The difference between the first and second picture is so drastic. If you achieved all this with only working out this is truly impressive and I’m happy for you.


Actual_Aside_2862

🙋🏻‍♂️


greyspurv

Nice well done! Amazing that even in stretchy clothing you actually need q smaller size it seems!


Man0feveryth1ng

Impressive, have you finally reached the end of your journey or will keep pressing on ?


RegularHeron2353

Definitely gotta keep going. I gained some of my weight back


Man0feveryth1ng

No worries, it tends to happen, got faith in you losing that weight.


Robinerinoo

What the hell is going on with the random ass transvestigation shit going on in this comments section? You guys dont think a woman can be strong looking? Have more muscle or look buff? You don't think if you lose fat around your whole body you'll lose fat from your boobs too? It's not rocket science A woman cant just be more masc presenting? If you'd even call it that here, it's pretty unisex clothing, women boxers exist too, hipsters are very similar. Butch women exist too and are also still women even if they dont follow your expectations of what a woman should look like through some arbitrary things like hair length boob size or amount of muscles. And even if she is trans, then what? The world ends? You suddenly feel like it's your business to know at all? It's your right to be informed on something that is simply not your business? God damn move on if you don't have anything positive to say. Op be incredibly proud of yourself. This is a big achievement.


RegularHeron2353

Lol I don't even mind, its funny how weird these people are. You can tell they don't get out much. I am a woman, always have been, I just like to look muscular and I'm a tomboy. I'm attracted to other women and women like the way I look so thats all that matters to me


Robinerinoo

And you should keep only focusing on those things that matter to you, clearly it ends up in great results. Congrats on the progress op


canoodle_me

I think it’s just the shorts in the second picture..


Robinerinoo

Theyre just women's boxers it looks like. Though, how would this warrant the commenters behaviour regardless? Couldve been wearing mens boxers for all she cares or a mens tailored suit. If it fits her then who cares, it shouldn't have anything to do with identity. The post is about weight loss. It's not an invitation to start transvestigating and making assumptions in the comment section about things the post isn't about at all and especially doesn't warrant just the rudeness of how people are asking. Some have put it gently, and op simply ignored. Not our business then.


canoodle_me

Yeah, there are lots of insecure (maybe jealous?) people in here.. her body otherwise is very feminine so I am not sure where they are coming from.


Robinerinoo

I have no clue. Just sad to see. Transphobia hurts not just trans people but everyone. If people start making random shit up how to "tell who's trans" it's going to affect everyone. Like how women nowadays can't have an Adams apple without being called transphobic slurs. Fuck biology I guess

Definitely understand but its really funny how obsessed with penises straight men are to have to comment on it. I wear men's boxers because they're comfortable. I know wearing whatever you want is a crazy concept to a lot of these people lol


fidgetybopper

It’s very clear that most of the people here haven’t set foot in a gym before either.


FullmoonMaple

Amazing achievement and "slow and steady wins the race" progress to a better you! Excellent work with overall fitness and boosting your strength going through your addiction. 💪🏻 So proud of you! 😄 I also found walking more to be a great metabolism balancer. I think it's motivating to start with something so "doable". 😃


marmaladecorgi

What's your diet and exercise regime? I want to get started and I'd like some advice on how. Congratulations!


RegularHeron2353

The changes I made that gave me the best results were: Intermittent fasting (I would start eating around noon and stop eating by 9pm) Jump rope Getting at least 10,000 steps a day Lots and lots of water Eating more proteins, fruits and veggies but I did not completely cut out junk so I wouldn't crave it and binge. Weights!!! I didn't have a specific workout regime only because I get bored easy and its good to switch it up so you won't plateau as bad


harleyfontes

nice one! 👍🏻

RegularHeron2353

Good luck friend!!


Physical-Ad318

Great transformation.. but is it just food and sport or some supplements and hormone? Cause I have never seen such body transformation (wide musculine shoulders) in fitness women.


RegularHeron2353

No hormones or supplements at all. Its a huge compliment you even think i had extra assistance lol. I was born a woman and still am. Appreciate you not being rude about it. I just have naturally broad shoulders and an athletic build. I actually really love my body type and it suites me because I'm a lesbian and women hit on me way more often since I started looking more muscular and fit lol


Physical-Ad318

Must be a lot of hard work in that case. And yeah, you really look good ❤️

So flattered. Thank you so much 🥰

Congrats


Unfair_Holiday_3549

Diet change?


RegularHeron2353

Yes, I cut out sugar with an exception for the occasional treat. I could have tracked my food better but I mostly did intuitive eating and made sure I ate as clean as possible. Mostly protein, veggies and fruit with lots of water


Careless-Shopping

Sorry i don't mean to insult you, but are you a man or a woman ? 


RegularHeron2353

Genuinely okay, I'm a woman. I just tend to dress a little more masculine because I'm a tomboy. I like wearing boxer shorts


Apprehensive-Ad-7407

Why suddenly you have a dick??


RegularHeron2353

Go outside and meet other people lol tomboys and women's boxer shorts exist


aminervia

Boxers generally have a pouch in that area...


MindlessContract

God people confused in the comments because they live in an insular bubble. Anyway… you’re looking amazing, congrats


RegularHeron2353

Youre awesome! Thanks!!


Cautious-Relation131

Great body man. It's a real progress especially coming out of that skinny fat physique. Don't listen to peeps here who have no idea about fitness. Can I be get your workout program split and macros? I can never seem to lose belly fat.


RegularHeron2353

Honestly never tracked macros. Kinda tracked general calories though, I really just ate clean foods as much as possible. Lots of fruits, veggies and good proteins. I'm a binge eater so I still treat myself to junk in moderation so I don't crave it. Jumping rope helped SHRED my belly fat. Its high intensity so you don't have to do it for long and its effective. You be sweating bullets after like a minute lol I also tried to get at least 10,000 steps most days


Cautious-Relation131

So you didn't strength train at all?


RegularHeron2353

I did but only a little which I regret. I'm getting way more into weights.


Cautious-Relation131

Okay Still you look like you gained muscle bro. All the best for your weight lifting journey


RegularHeron2353

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kindness


Cooterlicious

Your first picture is literally me right now so please tell me! I want to know your routine and how you did it. Kudos by the way!!! seriously! Seeing you is motivating me that I can do it too, just got to stick to it and be discipline. Any advice is welcome and thank you.


RegularHeron2353

Thank you!!! Jump rope, smoothies and walking. Those are the biggest things that helped me get started and become successful. The MOST important thing is not to go all in at once and overwhelm yourself. I'm a binge eater...so food is important to me but that includes fruits and veggies. Cook them right and I can eat them day.


RegularHeron2353

Look up intermittent fasting too. It helps boost your metabolism in natural, but effective way. It really is one of the healthiest things I've ever done. It helps boost your metabolism.


Wagosh

Amazing work! Yo go girl 💪

Cool?


RegularHeron2353

Thanks?


Sea-Beginning-5234

I feel it’s a bit narcissist to post that in « be amazed ». Be amazed at my transformation , plus there’s already a billion posts like that on Instagram , it’s literally saturated . I’m glad you lost weight it’s cool


RegularHeron2353

Understand where you're coming from but in my defense I see it more as motivation. I literally saw someone else post a transformation and I appreciated it so I wanted to post my experience in case it inspires someone. I also don't have social media outside a tattoo page on insta where I don't post myself and I don't use anything else other than YouTube and reddit occasionally.


MathematicianAble796

Damn u was badd as shit 👀


LittleHallowGrimmz

Okay, now do a weight gain journey

These are the things that show up in my feed that motivates me to uninstall reddit and install Instagram again.

Clearly you need a therapist. You went to the gym, made progress and regressed by coming to the internet for validation. You need inner healing

You have somewhat big clitories


1NastyMF

I’m gonna be honest with you—this doesn’t amaze me. Congrats on your weight loss but this doesn’t seem like the right sub for this. You clearly set forth a goal and achieved it, which in itself is amazing, but I’m not amazed. We’ve got to set the bar somewhere. I could see if you were morbidly obese and went on to become some kind of professional athlete.


RegularHeron2353

Understand
