Bye bye fat...hello muscle!
7 years ago
Well it only took me WAY too long but I finally did it! As of today I am down 70 pounds! Holy crap that is a lot of fat...
I am not going to lie, I stepped on the scale about three or four times just to make sure it was not trolling me or playing a very cruel joke. The funny thing is, I did not expect to go down any weight since I feel the same as I did yesterday and the day before that when I was slightly heavier. Regardless, I feel good and am really proud of myself! About a year or so ago, after I lost 50 pounds, I set a goal for myself to lose another 20 pounds, or 70 total. It just felt like a good number to reach (Without revealing my weight, yes it is…and I am in a good, healthy bmi range now!) And I finally hit it: no gimmicks, no diet pills, no starving myself, no weight loss surgery. Just LOTS and LOTS of hard work, eating right, dedication, and sweat.
So what is next for me now that I have met my goal? Well I guess I am going to keep going! I was telling some of my friends and my dietitian earlier that although I finally hit my initial goal, I do not want this weight to be the end of my journey. I want to lose a few more pounds: maybe 10-15 more, then I will work on building lean muscle. My arms, specifically my biceps, are starting to show signs of getting muscular! That’s right y’all- Whisper is not the only one in shape…her creator is getting built too! LOL
I plan on slowly increasing my weights I am using to train with as well. In addition, I would really like to improve my running speed and distance- now that is it colder, I tend to run a lot faster (mostly to keep from freezing, haha). And most importantly, I want to maintain my weight loss. I do not want 3-4 years of hard work to go down the drain like so many others who crash and burn on their diets and weight loss efforts. Or worse, do “yo-yo” dieting where their weight constantly goes up and down. And who knows, eventually I might even work on having a six pack of abs! *wishful thinking, knows damn well that is not going to happen*
So that is the next step in my goal to be healthier and happier with myself. Basically, I will probably be working out the rest of my life. And I’m okay with thatnot like I have anything else to do besides lifting weights and running, LOL
In other news, I want to give a big thank you to all you awesome watchers! Also, when did I hit 800 watchers?! Wow that is…quite a milestone. I am not going to lie, I was really surprised to hit 500 watchers, much less 800! So thank you for enjoying the commissions all the awesome artists have created of Whisper and Amelia over the years- the artists deserve just as much credit, if not WAY more, than I do!
Also, let this prove that you do NOT have to rely on smut and porn to become “well-known” on here. Sometimes creative, well done clean art is just as good as nsfw art. That and I like to think of my characters as a reflection of myself- meaning if I would not pose in a pinup or want smut of myself up on the internet for the [furry] world to see, then why would I subject my characters, a representation of myself, to that type of art. But that is just my thoughts on the matter. Anyway-
I hope everyone’s having a great week so far and getting ready for the holidays! I will be posting my friends gifts on Christmas day- really excited to give everyone their gifts. Then I will be wrapping up the year with some old commissions I received...along with some upcoming, new, exciting art to start 2018 off with! So stayed tuned~

And yes, sometimes creativity speaks far more than just outright nsfw pieces (or I like to think so). Definitely plan on getting more action and adventure pieces with her down the road
Increasing weights is gonna help quite a bit. New challenges, more fun (until you hit that max point but want more, then it plenty of determination is gonna be needed to get further lol).
"That and I like to think of my characters as a reflection of myself- meaning if I would not pose in a pinup or want smut of myself up on the internet for the [furry] world to see, then why would I subject my characters, a representation of myself, to that type of art."
Jaa, that's very much my own thoughts. You ain't gonna see a nekkid kittykat here, it isn't like I would go on and show bits and whatnot around in public to random people lol.
I'm about 30kg down again but I want a little more weightloss, but that's been difficult as the other cat has fed me too well in the beginning and now that the food side of things is just right I had my last gym day yestreday and on monday we'll go to Norway. I never managed to concquer the halfway point on lat pull machine lol.
And haha, someone has been feeding you a little too well huh? That is still great you are down 30kg: Grats!!! (66 pounds, really?! Wow! You should really be proud of yourself there)
"I really don't wanna rely on porn, smut, or weird-ass fetish pics to be successful online (here or elsewhere)" Here here! Nothing against those that do it and are okay with that, but I rather not be remembered or known as "that wolfcat that looks good naked..." I rather be known as that "Wolfcat that can kick someone's ass for looking at her the wrong way but looks good doing so!"
and kick your ass too in a proper boxing matchCertainly a gallery and watcher base to be proud of as well. Keep up the amazing work!
Don't worry, I have way more awesome art ahead and plan to get lots more...and hopefully some with you down the road as well!
Thanks so much! Got to stay in shape so I can kick ass at life~
