yep
I was slightly fatter and waay more curved than left pic, I'm now like right pic but with slightly bigger arms and a tighter belly
took me 1 year 6 months to get here: swimming 2~3 times a week, lifting 2~3 times a week, not going apeshit but trying to improve each day, keeping in mind bad days are inevitable; never was on a diet though! just eating regular food on an intermittent fast schedule, avoiding junk to the best of my abilities... lots of chicken breasts (experiment with spices), sweet potatoes and milk, with the occasional treat
best thing out of all this was improving my posture + acne... unfortunately my posture still sucks (started going to physiotherapy), my beard can't yet cover the acne spots (few months into minoxidil treatment), and I'm still quite sedentary / not that well conditioned (since I'm NEET)
but the self-esteem boost is real: it's not about where you are, just knowing you're on the right path, doesn't matter how fast or slow, just being pointed in the right direciton, is enough to make you not feel like a worthless sack of shit
