Back Progress

I’ll be honest the time between the first two pics are over a year apart. I had a lot of health issues that were finally resolved in February but then got diagnosed with lipidema. Had a bad bout of depression hit for a few months this year too. But I am locked/dialed TF in now bestfriend! I am on week 8 of consistency. Still battling depression but I ignore it, at least for the hours I am in the gym. I’m trying to become the best version of myself and the old me ain’t it! I’ve been disciplined and have seen amazing progress in one of my biggest problem areas… my back biscuits lol. 😂 I am proud of me! Starting over means you never gave up ❤️ #strongerthanmystruggles #unfiltered

Building a strong back is important for overall fitness and can enhance posture, prevent injuries, and improve athletic performance. Many people face challenges during their fitness journey, but overcoming obstacles is part of personal growth. To effectively target back fat and achieve visible results, consider integrating a combination of strength training and cardio into your routine. Exercises like deadlifts, rows, and pull-ups are great for building back strength and muscle. Nutrition also plays a key role; focus on a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Remember that consistency is key. Progress may take time, but every small step counts toward achieving your fitness goals. Embrace your journey, and keep pushing forward! Stay connected with communities that inspire you, like the #StrongerThanMyStruggles movement, to share experiences and encouragement. Whether you're starting fresh or continuing your journey, know that it's never too late to pursue better health and well-being.

Not all great progress ends in crazy weight loss

This got a lot of hate when I first posted it one of my groups because my progress pic doesn’t end with weight loss… now reposting a year later, it didn’t end at all. When I first posted this a year ago, I posted because I was proud of my bulk, even when I was soo scared of gaining weight.
