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…

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…

Fox's weekly record
I am 52 years old. I was born with multiple hereditary exostoses. Imagine spikes in your muscles and limited mobility in your joints. I have a pretty severe case of it. Arthritis is a side effect. The details are way too long to list. The summery is that my body is always under a constant state of stress. I can't stand for…

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.

Hit the 40 lb mark, very proud of my progress
I don't really have a lot of people to share my success with irl, so I thought I'd share it here. Since October, I have gone from 265lbs to 225lbs. I still have a long way to go and still don't love what I see in the mirror, but I am much happier and feel physically healthier. I can walk longer distances, climb the stairs…

8 Months, 8 Stone Down - My Journey (So Far)

250 lbs to 175 lbs. How many of you who lost 30+ lbs have been asked if you are taking Ozempic?
I only use calorie restriction and exercise. I am muscular at 15% body fat. It's amazing the things people think when you reach a goal like going from 250 to 175. It took 1 year and lots of hard work, yet they never quite believe it. I hear people at work talking about ozempic when I am around. it's a success story though.…

My journey started 348 days ago
Started on February 15, 2024. I was 546lbs. (I was actually probably more than that but I had no access to a scale that could weigh me and that was the last weight I knew I was). As of January 24, 2025 I was down 199lbs. I am now 347lbs. I might be insane but I was so annoyed that I was not down 200lbs, a nice round…
