I joined the gym to get skinny but stayed to get strong – now I’m sharing my weight loss glow up

A GYMGOER has revealed her initial intention for maintaining a regular workout routine.

The fitness fan said it all started with a desire to get thinner, but she then decided to put on more muscle mass.

Nikki Woods (@nikkiwoodss) showed her starting point in a video posted to TikTok.

“I want to be skinny,” read the text over the screen, echoing her sentiments at the time.

Next, she shared a mid-progress photo of herself.

She looked significantly thinner than her initial photo and wore a pink sports bra with black leggings.

“I want to be strong,” read more text over the screen.

Finally, she showed a recent progress photo of herself.

“I want to keep going,” read the text.

Viewers of the transformation shared their sentiments in the comment section.

“Not going to lie, you have always been cute it seems,” one wrote.

“You went through not one, but two fitness transformations,” another added. “You should be proud.”

“Really good progress,” a third commented.

“Either way still beautiful you know,” yet another wrote.

“Really motivational,” one more added.

Blown away by the support, Nikki said: “Thank y’all for the kindness.”
