What's Your Most Recent NSV
My most recent NSV is taking a selfie with my daughter and seeing dimples again! I have hated how I've looked for so long and I actually don't hate this picture and my dimples are back. Can't remember the last time I saw those, I know it was when a Bush was in office! Even the fact that I was willing to take a selfie is an…

Lost weight after Thanksgiving
This year marks a monumental shift for me. For the first time in 49 years, I lost weight after Thanksgiving instead of gaining it! No more feeling sluggish or stuffed—this season, I focused on staying balanced and intentional, and it paid off! Grateful for progress, perseverance, and a healthier outlook on life. Here’s to…

I'm so excited.
I'm so excited. Three years ago when I decided I was done being fat. And I committed myself to losing weight. I never thought this day would come. Today when I woke up and weighed in. For the first time in my adult life. I have entered the one club. 199.8lbs! Back when I was in my 300's I thought surely I'd look like a…

Just hit 200lbs down
Hi folks! I haven’t posted on here in a very long time, but thought I would do so to mark a big milestone and maybe inspire someone. This week I hit 200lbs lost since March 2022 (my latest attempt over nearly 2 decades of yo-yoing and eventually giving up). Long story short, after losing two jobs due to weight-related…

I have lost 20 lbs in six weeks and have never felt more alone~!
I didn't know if I wanted to cry or laugh this morning. I have lost 20 pounds in six weeks. I am doing my thing. I signed up here but I am not sure why anymore. I can log my food and can read posts and stories, but I can't interact with anybody. Nobody answered when I introduced myself here and I have 0 friends -not sure…

What nobody tells you about losing weight
Wanted to make this thread for motivationial purposes more than anything but they don't all have to be super positive! More of what came as a surprise. I'll start.. - how much confidence it will actually bring, especially when strangers start treating you like royalty all of a sudden! - Sitting (particularly in baths) and…

Finally under 100lbs to go... some thoughts.
I started my journey at 310lbs. My goal is 140lbs. So, in total I am looking to lose 170lbs. I have been on keto for almost 147 days, I started on the 1st July and have been tracking my calorie intake religiously. I am finally under 100lbs to go with 93lbs left until my goal and 77lbs lost. While I am sitting at 233 lbs, I…

It's me -again! Now down 32.4 pounds (Day 82) and in Love :)
The scale showed 315.6 lbs this morning. I have lost 32.4 pounds since September. I am all smiles. I have started to take pictures of myself. Not too pretty, but very honest. I will be a success story, so I will need them. :-) I am sugar-free (no added sugar), and the other day, I decided to eat the old soy yogurt that had…

Lost 6 lbs .. so exiting!
Nothing scarier than a doctor telling you that you have pre-diabetes. I picked up on MFP and started to log meals. It worked! I’m more mindful about what I eat everyday. Lost 6 lbs in about 2 weeks. Went from 146 lbs to 140 lbs. My diet is high in protein to be able to sustain myself and avoid cravings. About .8 grams per…

Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…

Let it GO! Decluttering (simplifying) your life of (people, places or things) success stories?
Decluttering and throwing away or giving away the multitudes of "stuff" I have or have had for years (without using) is really helping me so much in this weight loss mind-set. What I'm doing is, ANYTHING I have, that I haven't used in 2 years or more...OUT IT GOES. Now this isn't as easy as it sounds, but as I'm downsizing…

This time back on track for good
I've been on here a couple of times before. This time, I've really got to get the weight under control. I was at 300 before I started my new program. The only thing I changed at first was my intake of water and dropped 4lbs. If I can get my head in the game like last time, I"ll be doing good. I've got an 8 yr old who is…

Who holds the record for most consecutive days logging into
Just curious. There's gotta be someone who has logged on every single day for a year or more... I posted this in Success Stories because I figure it's definitely a success to be here every day, and stick with it that long... Anyone know who it is? Staff note:* 1 year = 365 days * 2 years = 730 days * 3 years = 1095 days *…

So, I am showing my Dr, that I can do this. I have ordered a new Fitbit and getting MFP all set up again, so wish me luck. I can…
