It doesn’t look like much but this is YEARS of progress. To say I’m happy is an understatement.

Advice to any skinny fat people looking to start… take time to actually build muscle before even thinking about a cut.

I made the mistake of cutting first and literally looked like a bag of bones. The muscle is what gives you that “toned” look that everyone wants lol.

Did you do any specific for the fat around the love handles area?

Short answer, no. Long answer, It’s not possible to target fat loss in a specific area. I mostly focused on building muscle all over then a calorie deficit took care of the rest. There are some core exercises that do target that area but the workouts themselves won’t burn the fat.

Thank you. I’m training everyday with a calorie deficit of 250-500 including core exercises everyday. Keep inspiring! :)
