      I fully support this idea for everyone else, this is clearly the right way to approach the topic.

      Doesn’t stop me personally from trying to transform a few more kilos of fat into muscle though. My excuse is that it is for health reasons, but deep down I know vanity is a relevant factor.

        I hear ya! I try to stay active enough in general throughout the year for health and vanity reasons myself. Just not interested in piling on extra self-loathing for summer alone haha

    Stellar. I quit drinking and now I eat way more and I’ve lost 20% of my bodyweight in under six months. I was drinking tons every day, maybe 1500-2000cal.

    My belt that almost didn’t fit around my belly, I’m at the final hole before I have to get a smaller belt. My pants fall down if I’m not wearing it tightly. My watch band almost needs to be replaced with a smaller one. I feel awesome every day.

    I have stretch marks but no loose skin, so I’m thankful. I hope the stretch marks stay. My chest is smaller, which is totally great. I’m just starting getting back into exercising, but I feel just excellent about myself now!

    I live in a place where it gets up to 110+ F/43+ C regularly in the summer, my summer body is molded by hiding from the sun and waiting for the sweet release of night.

    I’m down from 228 to 220. Not really that great, but I’ll keep you posted lmao

    I miss the days of being 150 lbs. I felt like I had so much energy I could run a marathon. Now I feel like a quick run could kill me. :D

    I discovered that the amount of carrots I can eat before I am uncomfortably full is like 150 calories worth of carrots, which means I can nearly double the amount of beer I can drink while still running a small calorie deficit.

    My ideal summer body is replacing this rotting flesh husk with cold, hard machine precision. But that’s not really an option yet :(
