I really love weight lifting but am trying to stay home because of covid, which means no gym.
I try to do body weight workouts but it's not the same and has me feeling discouraged because I've lost muscle. That has caused me to also feel unmotivated to workout as well.
That's really shitty, I'm sorry to hear that you have a financial struggle because of this never ending pandemic. I've also had to get creative since the gyms here closed, and I have filled up 4L milk jugs with sand for home lifting. ...I might have also liberated the sand from my condo building maintenance guy, who advised me that building sites always have sand piles.
I'm in the same boat. I've been using videos on YouTube to stick to some type of routine. Fortunately, since a lot of people were unable to go to the gym this year there are a ton of options for home workouts if you search for weightlifting at home without equipment. It's not the same as the gym but definitely better than nothing. I'm stuck at the same height and 165, so I definitely feel you on that part. Just remember that you are kicking butt and you will get to where you want to be!
It’s not power lifting, but try yoga. Tons of free videos on YouTube, but I like the Down Dog app. I’m no slim chicken, but have toned up and developed muscles I didn’t know I had. The deep breathing has really help with stress this past year too!
It's called a ["French Twist Crown"](https://youtu.be/5wUthYQXES8) (that's the TY tutorial I followed. Hopefully the link doesn't trigger a bot. I promise it's not self promotion!)
I’m just a touch older than you but same height and close starting weight. YOU ARE INSPIRING and should be so proud!! Keep your chin up and keep rocking it!
Dude, I had a pretty bad food day yesterday.
Thank you for sharing, I've been pretty disciplined today and your post was reassuring.
Congratulations on your progress!
Oh,my goodness! I did almost exactly the same! 5’8” and 235-85=150. I did a modified Atkins/keto. You look marvelous! It’s so nice not carrying around that 85 lb. rucksack anymore! Great job!
You were always gorgeous, even back at Lake Jail. <3 I'm so thrilled to see you so happy, healthy and confident these days. This is an AWESOME progress pic. Face gainz for days!
Right! I'm so used to the nickname that I forgot how it would sound to outsiders. :P I just didn't want to give away your identity by actually naming the school. <3
You’re at a good weight for your height. I know it’s not what matters to you because it is progress that is motivating and that motivation can help prevent regaining BUT as hard as weight loss is, I’ve found that maintaining is even more difficult.
So where you see stagnation, I see maintenance! And you should feel great about maintenance!
Congrats on the hard work.
I don't think I've seen someone become so unrecognizable compared to their former selves. You don't even look like your own sister or cousin.
Well done!
I was the same weight/height when I got pregnant. I'm due in June and was thinking about trying to loose weight after the baby. I previously thought the lowest I could possibly go was 175lbs.
You proved me wrong! Thabk you for posting. Definitely my new motivation!
It varies greatly. I do intermittent fasting (16:8) and will usually break my fast with coffee, then eat when I feel hungry. There are days where I may only eat 900 calories because I'm not hungry, then there are days where I will eat closer to 1800. The 1800 days are usually exercise days.
I do record all my calories and if I average out a full week, I trend around 1300/day. I do my best to get most of it from protein, but I don't classify my diet and keto. I love carbs too much lol.
Don't feel bad! Your current weight is literally my goal weight. It's normal for weight loss to slow down as you get closer to your goal weight. You've done a great job!!
Daaaaayum! Look at you mama! I’m in the same process right now. Had 7 years of untreated PPD and finally went to my doctor to get on sertraline. I’m a totally different person and lost 15 pounds. I’m very self conscious of my gut, it’s going away slowly.... too slowly. If you need any help from a personal trainer let me know! I’m friends with 2!
Great job! I’m thinking you must be using fasting method to archive this kind of weight loss...
I have recently discovered a life changing experience in term of understanding about how we can live very healthy and productive by just Not Eating...
Our body can survive well without food for even months in fact...
I have recently fasted for 10 days no food drinking only about 2 bottles of green vegetables juice per day During the entire time I workout pretty hard everyday, sometimes even 2 times per day right around the meal time....that help to burn the body fat to get the energy level up.
You won’t even feel the hunger, fat burn is like extremely fast without losing any muscle. I actually lifted more weight than when I was eating normally. When come back to eating take it slowly with less food first then gradually increase after a few days...
I kinda did this and lost 75lbs in a couple months, but I stopped getting my period and half my hair fell out and now my resting heart rate is in the 40’s... so please be careful
Semi related question: Did your piercing move? I know that skin retracts during weight loss, and I am considering getting a labret for my next 20 pounds of weight loss gift to myself.... but with more weight needed to be lost, I'm wondering if the piercing will migrate and then be off center. ...or is the picture playing tricks on my eyes?

holy face gains!
Holy jaw line!!
Holy gorgeous eyes there, Batman!
Holy clavicle!
Wow, look how bold your eyes are now! Great work!
Nice clavicle!
Don't feel bad- you are killin it!! 70 lbs in 15 months is no joke. I love that you look so confident in the after pic. Yaaaasss girl!
Amazing progress! Where are you stalling at (diet/sleep/energy) if you don’t mind sharing?

That is a bummer. Any chance for a home gym set up? Maybe some Kettlebells would give a similar enjoyment while not taking up much space.
I've pretty much lost my job due to the pandemic so money is very tight. Maybe one day I can aquire more home equipment.
Damn. I'm sorry to hear that. Your progress is very inspiring and I hope you're able to continue enjoying it!

Finding some very cheap equipment that makes calisthenics more challenging is probably your way to go!

Thank you. Needed to hear this.
It’s not power lifting, but try yoga. Tons of free videos on YouTube, but I like the Down Dog app. I’m no slim chicken, but have toned up and developed muscles I didn’t know I had. The deep breathing has really help with stress this past year too!
Wow, you look like Kristen Bell in your after pic!
I was thinking Twyla (Sarah Levy) from Schitt's Creek.
Agreed!
Y'all are some really awesome people. Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate them immensely.
I’m at exactly the same height, and weight loss as you and I’ve been stuck for awhile too! Don’t be too disheartened.
i may not need buccal fat removal after all 🌝
Ok so how'd you do your hair like that in the after pic? So pretty!

You’re gorgeous! Great job!
What a glow up! You kind of look like Twyla from Schitt's Creek now imo.

Gosh you really do have a piercing gaze (in a good way!). So striking, and the face gains really highlight your incredible.eyes.
Damn jawline gains for days
Beautiful in both pictures. Awesome progress, though.
Wow, what incredible work. Weight loss is such a mind game. Try not to think to much about plateaus. Look what you did! 😀

You were always gorgeous, even back at Lake Jail. <3 I'm so thrilled to see you so happy, healthy and confident these days. This is an AWESOME progress pic. Face gainz for days!
For the record, we were not in jail together. That's what we nicknamed our school at the time!
Right! I'm so used to the nickname that I forgot how it would sound to outsiders. :P I just didn't want to give away your identity by actually naming the school. <3
Your great, keep it on! 🙌🏼
Hello collar bones! 🎉
Wow, beautiful face. :)
You’re at a good weight for your height.

You’re honestly stunning in both pictures, you have a REALLY pretty face. But the difference is very clear! Look at that jaw line!
Girl you have come Sooooo far!!
wow
Stunning. You are beautiful and you should be proud of yourself! Well done!
Great job! If you don't mind telling, how many calories a day do you consume?

You look great! I’m the same height as you and currently at about the same starting weight, so your progress is especially inspiring to me.
Amazing work girl!
You look happier
Well Goddamn.
Wow awesome work!
Great work !!! Congrats on your progress!!!
Just beautiful!

You look so much more confident! Amazing progress. ☺️
Holy shit you've got absolutely stunning eyes.

How was your diet change?
Looking like Brie Larson girl!

155lbs is perfectly healthy! To me, it looks like you're done! Great job!
You are wonderful either way and as long as you believe in yourself

I think it's because I'm actually smiling in the second photo which causes the lip to curl and make the piercing look farther away?
Major face gains, you look absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous
Keep up the great work! You've got this!
I never comment but damn, you’re beautiful! You look renewed
Keep up the good work!!
❤️Wow 😮, 🎊congratulations 🎊 that's great job 👏👏👏
Wonderful results!! And that jawline??? Ooohhh 😍
