Ignore the normies pham. If you want normie approval, just up your bicep volume. They'll say you've gotten huge and shit like that even though the only real change was in your biceps.

They've noticed, it's only until there's substantial improvement that people will compliment, some even then are too shy to say it.
Also depending on how often you see these people will determine if they'll even compliment you.

there is finite quantity of trust and faith you are able to place in other people, and once you've used it up, it doesn't come back. so your first true love is almost always your only, and everything afterwards is a pale procession of shadows

I don't know if they are just saying things to make me feel better, but even losing 30 pounds this past month and a half hasn't put a dent in my perception of my body.
Jack Butler
Lifting for 4 months. Caught a noice gym bunny miring while I was doing cable hammer curls last week.
Saw an old friend I haven't seen in over a year, when I was a skelly dyel. He told me I looked like I was wearing a meat shirt.
Same as OP I've still got a long way to go. But I swear, we're all gonna make it bros.

When i was dyel i got told often i dont look 6ft. I laid down next to a girl and she said "i didnt realize you were so much taller than me". Some friends were comparing height and they put me up against a dude 2-3 inches shorter than me. Now that im slightly less dyel (170lbs) girls comment on my height more
Most people just view it in terms of bigger and smaller, a 6'3" skelly is going to look smaller than a 5'10" bear mode

You definitely still are a dyel. A buddy of mine thinks just like you do. Hes skinny as fawrk and started working out. In less than a year he has the v and abs but can barely bench 185. You may look strong to normies but you're not out of the dyel zone yet.

Thank you user. You know, the funny thing is, my daughter is my biggest inspiration. I want to be a good example for her, I want to be a mom she can respect and love, I want to live a long life with her and my husband. I don't want to die young from heart disease or diabetes.
I mean, being pregnant really, really changed everything in my life. For the better I truly believe.
I know you guys make fun of guys with fat girls, but I am so lucky that my husband supports me. He helps me cook healthy. He eats what I eat when he's around me. He keeps any snacks out of the house and at his work. He's unintentionally lose 38 lbs himself (6'4", 270 to 6'4" 232) just from supporting me.
I want to be healthy so bad. When I went form BMI Obesity II to BMI Obesity I it was genuinely a proud moment for me.
I've been using a food scale and myfitnesspal to eat at a deficit. It's the most tedious thing ever but it really click when things are layed out number wise.
Oh and these fph threads, holy shit do those motivate me not to give in when I have cravings. Those threads are godsends.
Anyway, sorry for the blog post. First time ever really posting about any of this even anonymously on a tibetan sandpainting caucus.
Keep up the good work guys. We're all gonna make it.
Seems like a good guy.
