[Amanda Creeper]

Hello I am Amanda Creeper, and I am James Creeper’s Wife of 12 years. Just over a year ago I was 215lbs! My husband and I started our weight loss journeys with Reta and it has been a miracle for me, currently today I am 115lbs and just starting in our new home gym to gain muscle mass, I had a pain stimulator in my back that prevented me from working out a lot with my husband (whom looks incredible btw!) but as of last Monday, I had the Stimulator removed and I am excited to say that I am beginning my fitness journey! But something has been really troubling me and James assured me that it is safe to talk here, … Since my weigh loss my family has accused me of being on Meth! And are essentially “fit shaming me” this has caused my relationship with both of my sisters and Brother to go down the toilet and was told on several occasions to “put the meth pipe down and you look like you have AIDS” etc. I have completely cut off speaking to my siblings. And I was just looking for some support on gaining muscle to not look like a string bean. Thank you in advance

Welcome! Sorry to hear of the toxicity you’ve dealt with. It’s not uncommon, but it is unfortunate. You can’t argue against false claims like that. You two are very fortunate to have each other and share your journey

It’s definitely fit shaming. Let me guess - they aren’t in great physical condition either?

Welcome sister! Happy and excited to have another fellow strong woman on here .. and I'm so sorry to hear about how you're siblings have responded to your amazing success . It's hard when the people that were meant to support and celebrate with you, are doing the opposite.

But I can assure you , you'll get all the support and encouragement from the Evo Fam .

Good job! You have taken the biggest step of stepping out and truly speaking your mind! Welcome to the Evo family my beautiful wife!

Welcome to evo! Awesome to have another power couple in our community

Its very unfortunate that people have a tendency to project negativity towards someone doing extremely well and taking back control of their lives.

These projections normally come from a place of insecurity and disappointment of where they are personally at with themselves.

Dont block out the noise use it a fuel to keep on killing it sister. You have an awesome hubby to support you and now have the entire evo family in your corner as well.

Stay gold

Families are strange. Of course it's mostly cos most Americans are fat and you're getting in shape

@Amanda Creeper
Awesome transformation!!! Good on you!!!
Really sucks when your family chooses to criticize you instead of supporting you. This usually comes down to jealousy.
Keep doing what your doing!!!

@James Creeper

Family shaming is very common
A lot of it stems from jealousy
So don’t let it bother you just do your thing and be happy

 

[stevesmi]

Exactly someone who is in great shape and fit is considered the outsider and as humans we always want to bully people who are different

@James Creeper

First of all, congrats on your incredible transformation.

Its horrible that your family treated you like that.

"Crabs in a bucket" (or crab mentality) is a metaphor for a selfish, envious mindset where individuals undermine others who are succeeding to prevent them from escaping a shared, negative situation. It describes the behavior where if one crab tries to climb out, others pull it back down, ensuring everyone stays trapped.

Thats the first thing i thought of!

No they are not.

@James Creeper

Well HELLOOOO!!! I love that you joined, we have more and more couples joining on here and your story is amazing! What an amazing transformation! Welcome to the EVO family sister.

I'm really sorry to hear about the troubles with your siblings and family. It sounds to me like they are jealous and never probably thought to ask you "are you happier with how you look?", or "do you feel better now?". I'm here to tell you I think your transformation looks great and you look really happy in your after pic. Your personality is still very present in the before pics but the after pics you have more of a glow to you and I love it, that can only come from more increased self esteem and an inner peace that shows on our face.

I talk a lot in my log about mental health and I think coming to terms with how they feel about how you look instead of trying to "fix" them will be good for your mental health. If you need to cut them off for a bit then so be it, I've done that myself before too.

And sister, if you're looking to put on some muscle let's do this!!
Throw up your diet, training and supplements and let's get to work! I'll be following.

My new fave thing on EVO are the couples that join together. Welcome aboard and thanks to @James Creeper and you for being our new EVO couple!

 

[RawCutlery]

Stay hard, both mentally and physically!!

Tune out the noise and focus on what you're trying to accomplish, everything else is nonsense that can hinder your individual journey.

I’m not sure what forum to post this in, but my question is for any ladies that have had breast augmentation or any guys that their significant other has gotten one. I as you all know have lost 100 lbs, but unfortunately that included my breasts. My husband and I decided that I will be getting a breast augmentation soon, and I was wondering if there were any specific questions I should ask during my consultation? But most importantly what was it like directly after surgery?
@James Creeper

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

My wife got them - under the muscle - after having kids and BF - she always was on the smaller side but then they fully deflated. Main question is to ask is about sizing and shape - obviously you don’t want them to look ridiculous and most good surgeons will have a good eye for what you can fit. Afterwards was a couple of weeks rest and sleeping at 45 degrees but pain was not too bad for her.

it really depends, you might need to get it or implants on top as well, hard to say @Amanda Creeper
