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…

I Hit a Mini-Goal!
I (43F) started this journey in February 2024 at 260 lbs (6'1"). I have been walking 20-30 minutes a day most days (I try to do an hour on Sundays) and tracking my calories. Sometimes I miss a day of walking, and sometimes I go over my calorie goal. Today I finally hit my latest mini goal of 225, which felt like it took…

I amaze myself
I started on this journey in February 2024 at 338 lbs on a 5'2 frame. I could not get on the floor and get back up it would hurt my knees too badly. I had a hard time going up and down stairs I had to take them one at a time. And we're not even going to discuss the bathroom. Lol. I was tired all the time and I was so…

Losing weight after a cancer diagnosis
I received a cancer diagnosis last year, but after my recent surgery, there's now no evidence of the disease which is amazing! This experience has profoundly shifted my perspective on life. I've come to understand that prioritizing my health is essential, and my goal is to become the best and healthiest version of myself.…

30 days to self-awareness. Let's see what we learn!
I’ve dieted most of my life. The pattern was always the same—I’d get really thin, then gain the weight back. Last year, after spending a whole year being “skinny” and starving to stay that way, I’d had enough. I decided to stop chasing a number and start building strength. I took up weight training and stopped restricting…

I Lost 68 Pounds of Fat in Five Years – This Is What I Learned
For the last year or so, I've considered sharing more details about my physique transformation, but I’ve held off because I just haven't felt like I was "there" yet. It recently occurred to me that "there" is ever-evolving, and I can celebrate my accomplishments even though I know there will be more to come. (Upper body…

LIPEDEMA - The often undiagnosed chronic condition

Little victories - down 3 pounds!
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so exercise is completely out of the question for me. I also have a strong emotional reaction to feeling hungry most of the time, so I've been aiming for 1600 calories a day and doing pretty well at it. It's been three weeks of counting calories, and I've lost 3 pounds! At this point I…

100+ lbs & counting
In Dec 2023 at age 69, my BP spiked & got my wife to take me to ER. While there I had a heart attack. The ER staff did chest compressions for over an hour before mt heart finally stabilized. I was air lifted to a cardiac care hospital where I stayed for 3 weeks. At the hospital, they recorded my weight at 367. I lost a…

I am so freaking proud of myself!!
Seven years ago my mom paid for all of her children and grandchildren to go on a family vacation. It should have been the vacation of a lifetime - there was hiking, rafting, sleeping under the stars at night, and wonderful gourmet meals cooked for us every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I was too heavy to do most of the…

Accountability
I’m 36, a mother of two under 5. I’ve let myself go a bit too much caring for them; this is the largest I’ve ever been: 91kg, 164cm height.🥹🥹 I would love to know if there’s a way to get a partner in fitness on this platform I can be accountable to? Like a fitness pal checking up on each other 😊.

I CAN DO THIS!
I’m tired. Tired of carrying this postpartum weight for years. Last year, I lost 12 kg—but there’s still a long way to go to feel truly healthy, active, and at peace in my own body. I’m tired of hating my reflection in the mirror. Tired of feeling low when clothes don’t fit. Tired of turning to food when hopelessness…

Things were so much easier when I was young
I didn’t have a weight problem, I spent the majority of my life being slim. Even after having three kids, I maintained my size 4 figure. The kids grew up, moved out. Like all kids they still need their mom at times. My work life became very stressful, my hours would go up and then they would go down. I struggled with…

How can I start exercising?
Hello, I am new to this. I'm not very healthy right now, and I know it's probably important to start doing some exercise. But, I don't know where to really start and I kind of lack the motivation? Even when I really want to, I just can't get myself to do it. I don't know how to work on this :( I want to do better & be…

8 Months, 8 Stone Down - My Journey (So Far)
Eight months ago, I was 25 stone (159 kg) with a body fat percentage of 34%. This morning, I weighed in at 98 kg with 23% body fat. I’m still considered “obese” by BMI standards, but I feel stronger, healthier, and more in control than I have in years. I wanted to share my journey - not because I have all the answers, but…

Binge eating is rough..
I'm going to take accountability for this, but I have been on a weight loss journey for some months now, and it's been going well, right? Wrong. It is so hard for me not to grab a snack every time I go into the kitchen, it's to the point I try to go as far away from the kitchen as possible or take a nap when I'm hungry so…

30 Days of Daily Accountability
Hello! I have a short term goal of losing 5-10 lbs. These 5-10 lbs have been sticky for months now, mostly due to a lack of self discipline. So, I am here to hold myself accountable. What's the motivation you ask? Well, not for nothing, I am going on vacation in 30 days. It's a bit because I need to get back on track in…

A small post about big results (300 lbs -> 220 lbs)
I am not sure I have much to teach anyone but hopefully some will find this post inspirational. I have been large most of my life and have hit 300 lbs twice. Once in high school and again some time after graduating college. In June 2022, just before my 29th birthday, I did a lot of research into the best ways to lose…

Thin crust pizza. Or regular crust ?
I feel that a thin crust pizza is healthier than regular crust. When i do pizza. i aways do the thin crust. I can't do red sauce causing me heartburn. I choose the white sauce. My toppings are pretty healthy. What's your thoughts on pizza. When burning calories above 1000?
