Lol, Peeper, I know, TLDR. cliffnotes, 3 months of recomping. That's about it! :) 

where you ever really big mate(overweight) you are ripped but have a tone of skin around midsection is only reason I ask 

Naw, I'm not ripped, that's fat. Lol, just wait till I am ripped. Heaviest weight is about 225 pounds or about 102.5 kilos. 

WOW....just....WOW, so....what exactly is the problem again? 

I guess if it only looks like skin, I carry the two handfuls of fat well. My genes cause me to hold a large amount of remaining fat on the lower stomach, I guess. Sadly, this is the leanest I've been so IDK how my stomach will look in the coming months. 

Thanks, Dixon! No problem, just showing my 3-month progress. I'm happy but am still not totally satisfied. Never will be, haha! 

And men say women are hard to please! I’d be very happy with your build! Of course those arms on little short me may look quite odd hehe. But I do understand. There are some areas that are just frustrating! My inner thighs won’t lose no matter what I do! I’ve started 10 squats every time I pass a doorway lol. Not helping the fat at all. Lowering calories didn’t help. 2 hours of cardio and 1 1/2 hours of lifting a week didn’t help and I don’t have time for even that right now. I think I’ll just have to get super skinny first then build muscle back 😭. Oddly enough I’m happy with my lumpy tummy and small love handles now. Way better than before but not near my goal and I’m still okay with them if they never get smaller. You’ll get the tummy area close to where you want I’m sure. I have a feeling that you are a perfectionist though 😉 

I get where you coming from. As soon as your happy your complacent 

So these results were after these monthly calorie averages: august 3372 september 2823 october 3602 november 3268 I guess maybe my metabolism isn't shot since 2016(dumb weight loss challenge). Those are pretty good numbers for a recomp.  

Peeper, you're beating yourself up the same way I do, haha. You're doing amazing at 125 pounds give or take, right? That's so great! And yes, I am a perfectionist when it comes to body composition. :) 

Amazing job! 

Lol ok so I guess I do. I’ve been accused of being a perfectionist many times and I’m doing my best to let that go but it’s harder than dieting! I’m about 126 and doing well there. Still want 120 and really want 110 just once so I can tease my oldest. She’s 1/4” taller than me now so I told her I’d get 1/4# lighter than her haha. She was 111 a week or so ago and building muscle all the time. 115 may be below her soon. After that then I just want to look good and get some off the thighs. I may not be completely happy but I can be satisfied with a little more work. I gave up being stronger than her so when she teases me I just remind her that I’m older and if she wasn’t stronger than me with 2-3 hours of sports a day then there would be an issue lol.  

Thanks and I don’t really think my 34# is that big of a deal. You and others have had huge transformations! I don’t know any of you in person but I feel like I know you all from this app. I’m proud of your accomplishments and grateful for all the help you and others have given me! 😁 (pretty sure you were the one who told me my meals of chicken when I joined back in March/April were flavorless and disgusting lol. Thankful for that too because I started thinking about it a few months ago and changed up my meals. More balanced protein options now and not as frustrated with food. Was that you? 🤔😉) 

I don't know, my name is Diablo but that sounds mean as hell, hahahaha! Maybe I used different words, I truly cannot remember, sounds like something Chris would say. :P 

Thanks @Missy Motivated!----Peeper, don't sell yourself short! You're a busy mom and wife and your diet must be controlled more than mine since I have a bigger daily burn. You're doing amazing! 

Well I am just gonna day that August 7th is a really good day... that’s my bday!! 😛 But your body transformations are incredible... both look great, but one better than the other obvi. Keep it up, I always wanna get buff but having a giant 3inch gap of my abs makes things harder 😔 

Just checking if you're reading the comments, Jack! lol! You've contributed years of laughs and wisdom in your short time here, thanks for joining! Always appreciate an open mind as well. :) @Mamamc7, thank you! Happy late b-day, haha! Also, don't be down, no matter where we are we can always improve! 

Oops nope wasn’t you! Finally found that post from April 2nd. It was someone named Davis, so sorry! Been looking for that post for like two months haha. It may have been a mean comment but didn’t bother me. I’m the one who has to eat my food so who cares if anyone likes it but me. Hubby is gonna try Keto it seems. I may have to send him to you for some advice lol. Advice against it that is. Yes I’m busy but I know I could do more. I’d rather spend that time napping, reading or catching up with a friend right now. However once everything is caught up I may start ditching some practices and going to the gym during that hour. I saw that we have a planet fitness so may try that out some day. I’ve driven by it several times lately and I always think of you lol.  

Whew, that's good to hear. :) Haha, they are definitely nice establishments with good hours. Sorry about the keto. :( :P 

Wow, great improvement! I think this is going to be on my bucket list next year, I have too much belly fat and love handles 🤪
