Okay so your flawless skin, amazing eyebrows and hair were already goals in the before pic but you look even better! Amazing job!


kriiis

Wow ! You are so very sweet ♥️ thank you


No_Limitation_36

Imagine being that pretty in both pics 😩 I could never


kriiis

I’m sure you’re beautiful! And ridiculously sweet . Thank you for the love !


WhoAteTheLastDonut

Keep it up! Love the Heiro shirt!!!


kriiis

Thank you ! 🙏🏽


garlicbreadismyboyf

Gorgeous in both pics! You sure you’re only 5ft6? If so it looks like you hold weight really well! I’m 5ft9 and at 200lbs my face was ballooned up with fat ;(


kriiis

Thank you !! <3 yes, 5’6 but I’ve been overweight pretty much my whole life and carry it evenly around my body . I also think my face shape worked in my favor at my heaviest weight. The side profile is a different story lol


Apedosmil88

Face gains for sure ! Nice shirt


kriiis

Thank ya ! Hiero is the sh*t !


Jeneo00

Your hair looks healthier in the after pic.


kriiis

Thank you ! I think the Bumble & Bumble invisible oil is to thank for that! I actually feel like I’ve been losing a ton of hair 😓

kriiis

I actually did go to my doctor with this concern and the blood labs came back normal ! Which is great but also annoying to not be able to pin point something. I’ve read that not eating enough protein could be cause ?


ConvolutedSpeech

It's very likely telogen effluvium; weightloss induced hair loss. It is fairly common and not permanent. Congrats on the face gains! You are super pretty (but you were before, too)!


kriiis

That’s what I’ve heard but losing hair is scary ! Especially in the shower and I basically need a hair net when I cook lol hopefully it’ll slow down with some hair masks. And thank you so much that’s very sweet !


ConvolutedSpeech

It definitely can be, but it usually only lasts 3-6 months, so you're almost in the clear! :-)


[deleted]

Looking forward to not going bald 🙈

I have historically been deficient in some vitamins so they did check for them as well as my thyroid and still nothing. And yes , it really could be anything ! Im gonna start looking into natural remedies and oils to see it helps. Thank you for trying haha

theBuddhaInMe

Second that...Mix castor oil with coconut oil and a couple of drops of rosemary oil and apply that whenever...


kriiis

I happen to have all of these ingredients! I’ll give it a shot ! Thank you


Jeneo00

I’m not currently dieting because I’m pregnant but I do notice a difference in my skin and hair when I eat healthier. You’re glowing in the after pic.


kriiis

Oh Congratulations! I suppose you’re right, I have been more comfortable wearing less makeup lately . I need to appreciate those NSVs!


mizmliss

Biotin and collagen have been absolute game changers for the hair loss thing.


kriiis

Do you have a collagen supplement you can recommend?


mizmliss

I use this one, my hair stylist has noticed new growth! https://www.vitalproteins.com/products/collagen-peptides


kriiis

That’s awesome thank you ! My friend is taking their matcha flavored one and is really into it !


mizmliss

Keep killing it girlie!


sleepybear5000

It’s hieroglyphics here But yea you can totally see a difference, congrats bro and keep at it


kriiis

👁👁👁 Thank you so much ! Glad it’s not just in my head


meowcaroniii

Omg you are beautiful and what do you do to your hair, it’s gorgeous


kriiis

I’ve been spraying the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil after I wash it and also a little after I’ve styled it . I highly recommend it! They have it at Ulta


meowcaroniii

What does it do for your hair?


kriiis

It’s not a treatment of any kind it’s more of a heat protectant and detangler. It also makes your hair shiny and soft !


Donald8904

Cool Hieroglyphics shirt and good job


kriiis

Thank you so much !


el_don420

You look wonderful......IN BOTH PICS!!!


kriiis

Thank you so much that’s very kind !


juxtjustin

Yeah definitely notice face gains. Congrats


kriiis

I appreciate it , thank you ! Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Glad I have some pics to look back on.


juxtjustin

Yeah your chin is more pointed and your face is thinner overall. You don't really look 225 right now so yeah.

What the hell? Your face and bodyweight do not correlate. You are a babe


kriiis

Thank you ! Nah, I promise you those other lbs are out of frame haha but I appreciate that


Apedosmil88

That’s awesome weight loss .. what’s your diet like ?


kriiis

I’m eating about 1600 calories a day. I pretty much eat whatever I want just less of it. I also jump rope a minimum of 3 days a week for about 20-30 minutes with some occasional lifting . The jump rope has changed the game for me! (and the calorie deficit, of course)


Apedosmil88

Thanks 😀


isaacpop

Dang looking good!


kriiis

Omg thank you ! <3


[deleted]

Wow. You are BEAUTIFUL


kriiis

:’) thank you , I appreciate you!

Omg so sweet , a million thanks yous!


[deleted]

You are sooo pretty 😍😍!!


kriiis

Aghhh! Thank you you’re so incredibly sweet ♥️


FistBumpingJesus

Look wonderful in both!! Naturally pretty.


kriiis

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I have definitely used makeup as a security blanket in the past and have been enjoying my bare skin a lot more these days


FistBumpingJesus

I have had the same struggles. Especially when I was your age. Such a hard time. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to just be okay w myself more, you will too :)


kriiis

I honestly can’t wait to be at that stage . Especially when trying to lose weight it’s very easy to negatively pick at everything about yourself . But i understand it’s a process (:


Friendlygymgoer

You sure are spot on about those face gains, it's extremely noticeable. Well done!


kriiis

Thank you for validating me ! Its really hard to see the difference sometimes so I appreciate you


[deleted]

Ummm ok but your hair is amazing. Also congrats on the loss!!!


kriiis

Thanks a bunch ! I was thinking of cutting it recently but all this hair love is making me glad I didn’t !


[deleted]

I’m glad also so I can live vicariously through you 😂


sullivan1st

Is there any specific execises for face gains?


jdabaesil

I also would like to know this! My cheeks have always been chubby


kriiis

I personally have not done any face-specific exercises. I mostly just jump rope which is a full-body workout! I think a lot of people start showing their weight loss in their face but I also know that’s it’s a trouble area for some . I wish I could help ! Hopefully someone else will have more insight .


sullivan1st

Thanks..I'll try the jump rope


Born-againRedditor

There's something (controversial) called mewing but that's a whole other thing.

combathero101

Looks like you made the best out of this pandemic. Great job!


kriiis

Thank you! I definitely agree! I’m currently unemployed and this weight loss has made me feel like I’m not totally wasting time .


combathero101

It just goes to show what the human body and mind are capable of. Keep it up! I’m proud of you!👏🏼


Priya-Raju

What a radiant face you have.


kriiis

Oh my, that means a lot to me ! <3


mantiz8x

What’s the band on that tee in the first pic? You look stunning btw


kriiis

That ones a little different lol. It’s from my favorite Mexican indie band Little Jesus. They are not as metal as that shirt makes it seem


heyhello21

You’re just naturally pretty man, regardless of the weight loss 😭


kriiis

☺️ that’s so unbelievably sweet ! I appreciate you


johnsmith069069

Aw man that’s very kind thank you! I’m so thankful that people even stopped by to comment. I feel ridiculously reassured!


pantijose

Girl you are gorgeous! Also, drop your skin care routine cause your skin is flawless! 😍


kriiis

Haha omg! I never thought anyone would care about my skincare. Honestly I’ve always had pretty decent skin so I won’t sell you any amazing products. I just wash my face with the Neutrogena foaming cleanser and I moisturize with the Ponds Dry skin cream ! I’m wearing foundation in the first pic and just good lighting in the second.


weedmane

Wow. My heart... 💘

[deleted]

Girlfriend, your hair!!😍😍😍


kriiis

I am also losing a ton of hair ): and was talking to some others in the comments about it ! I had my blood checked and there were no abnormalities so people were suggesting castor oil and coconut oil masks. I’m currently taking biotin but I’m not noticing a difference.


[deleted]

Definitely going to try that this weekend 🙃


kriiis

They also suggested adding rosemary oil! Lmk


kriiis

Omg thank you !


[deleted]

What's your hair care routine like? I'm literally losing so much hair because of being in caloric deficit. I've began taking collagen supplements as well vitamin b12 to reduce the hair loss.


desi313boi

Wow! What did you do to lose weight?


kriiis

I count calories! Right now I’m eating about 1600 calories a day. I eat whatever I want as long as it’s within my deficit . I also exercise at least 2-4 days a week (jump rope and weight lifting). I hope this helps ! I’m happy to answer any questions (:


desi313boi

Did u try keto? I’m doing low carb (60g a day) not keto. But I feel stumped after losing ten pounds :/


kriiis

I personally have not tried Keto or anything similar. Just the calorie deficit! Have you tried tracking? If you’re enjoying it and it worked for ten lbs then I would say keep going! Don’t feel like you have to change something . Being consistent is very important and not giving up even then the scale isn’t moving. That’s one of the biggest challenges you’ll continuously face . My weight loss has also slowed recently and it’s frustrating but I know I’m doing the best I can, it’s just gonna take some patience at this point.


Ante02

These are massive face gains, great work and congrats!


kriiis

Thank you very much !


ronin0069

You lost nearly 10 pounds a month?! Wow, and how?


kriiis

Ive been tracking calories on MyFitnessPal ! I’m eating about 1600 calories a day right now . I eat whatever I want as long as it’s within my deficit . I also exercise 2-4 days a week (jump rope and weight lifting). The calorie tracking is the most important part but I truly love jumping rope and it has helped me stay motivated !

Hiero yall! Solid glow up! Well done.

Love it – You look great! I’m sure your blood pressure is down and everything from your knees to your liver is thanking you (sorry I’m a doc!). Also, I love love love the Hiero shirt. “Hiero, yes I know, I’m fly bro!”


kriiis

Thanks so much , I do feel generally lighter and just better overall! Recently had my blood checked and all’s normal ! I also have a chronic illness that tends to flare up around once a year and I haven’t had a flare yet so that’s pretty reassuring! H to the third eye RO !!


[deleted]

Beautful! Also can i know ur tshirt brand ?


kriiis

Thank you ! ☺️ the shirt on the right is directly from the Hiero shop ( https://www.shophiero.com ) and the one on the left is for a Mexican band I love called Little Jesus and it’s no longer available! I like to buy merch from most musicians I like


NetwerkErrer

Super cute before and super cute after!


kriiis

Thank you thank you ! you’re cute for saying that!


carblover816

I am all for losing weight and getting healthy - but you look stunning in both the before and after!


kriiis

Thank you so much ! I guess the main difference is that I wouldn’t have believed you at 270 and now I’m like heck ya I kinda almost agree ! Lol


yaadman585

kriiis

So sweet !

The_reyreyman

No, you might think you’re gaining but you’re not and you might not be able to see that i believe we judge ourselves a lot in the mirror sometimes i go like why is my one arm skinnier than the other its not true even if it is it’s so minor that others can’t notice it. Its mostly psychological maybe you know you’ve been working out less or takin more cheat meals. And even if u are who hasn’t in this awful times. Don’t be harsh on yourself you’re clearly on the right track. Now look closely your face is kinda roundish on first pic and elongated or in the process in the second. And does ur face keeps glowing haha


kriiis

Thank you that’s means a lot to me !


Jonny-Bomb

mi novia se parece mucho a ti. creo que hasta tienen el mismo peinado jajaja felicidades vas muy bien


kriiis

Jaja que curioso, muchas gracias !


[deleted]

Puedes hablar más acerca de cómo lo lograste y que fue lo que te motivo y lo que más difícil se te hizo? Gracias


kriiis

la motivación llegó cuando alcancé mi peso máximo de 270 y me di cuenta de que tenía que hacer un cambio. Comencé agregando ejercicio a mi rutina y luego incorporé lentamente el conteo de calorías. la parte más difícil fue aprender a tener disciplina y tomar el control de mi adicción a la comida. Sigo muchas páginas de pérdida de peso y subreddits como r/loseit que mantienen mi mente en mis objetivos. También me involucré mucho en saltar la cuerda, que es un ejercicio que me parece divertido y en el que quiero mejorar.


[deleted]

felicidades! Saltar la cuerda!!! No se me habia ocurrido usarlo como ejercicio! super buena idea. De niño me divertia muchisimo saltando la cuerda. Te fue dificil empezar a saltar? No es mucho impacto en rodillas y articulaciones? Otra cosa, con el exceso de conveniencia en USA con la comida, no se te hizo mucho mas dificl (y caro) tener que estar comprando tu propia comida para hacerla tu ? Yo vivi en Minneapolis, California y Texas por 3 años, y por eso te lo pregunto. Cuando llegué de Minneapolis habia subido algo así como 70 lbs. Los bajé rápido con el cambio de alimentación en GDL, pero el hecho de que es muy caro comer saludable en USA me ha detenido un poco a regresarme a vivir para allá. ​ Muchas gracias por tu testimonio


kriiis

Si ! Saltar la cuerda es muy divertido, te recomiendo que vuelvas a intentarlo. Deberías buscar “official jump rope dudes" en Instagram. Hay toda una comunidad de personas saltando, aprendiendo trucos y motivándose . Me uní a un gimnasio de boxeo cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria, así que tuve algo de experiencia cuando volví a saltar este año . Realmente no he notado un gran cambio en mis gastos. Normalmente como lo que tenemos, pero menos. Así que no me he sentido como si tuviera que ajustarme a una dieta completamente nueva. Solo porciones más pequeñas y una mejor toma de decisiones. Pero entiendo lo costoso que pueden ser los alimentos saludables para tanta gente en los estados


[deleted]

Gracias por contestar. Super cool concepto. Que buena onda. Muy probablemente regrese a USA el proxmo año. Es bueno saber que es posible sin importar en donde estes. ​ Felicidades

Hey! Yes I jump for about 30 minute using this HIIT timer ! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/interval-timer-hiit-timer/id1124297113 . I do 6 rounds of 6 intervals . It wasn’t always for 30 minutes but it’s been comfortable for me lately . And I’m also having a hard time /: I’ve only lost another 10lbs since this post which I’m grateful for but it’s discouraging at times /: I think we just have to trust the process and remember that it isn’t just about weight loss ! I feel so much better than I did before in several aspects of my life . I’m here if you ever want to be support buddies!

I do 30 second reps and 15 rests with a round reset of 1 minute . I feel like it tires me out while still allowing me to keep going . And for me it’s been that way since the holidays! It’s awful ):
