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…

From Diagnosis to Balance: My Health Journey in 2025
This year started with a shock. In January, I had bloodwork done for the first time in a while, and the results floored me: an A1C of 8.7%. I hadn’t been tracking my blood sugar before, so this was my first real diagnosis — and it came in high. At that point, I estimate I weighed about 210 pounds. One doctor recommended…

For the first time in 30+ years, the first digit on the scale this morning was 1 instead of the "usual" 2.

I'm in my mid-70s and plan to go on to…

Kind of nice to look at where I came from
I was looking at the 'checkin' page for a different post, and it reminded me of how far I've come. There are a lot of days I look down at my belly (saggy now, not a basketball) and still feel fat, even though I've gone from a 3x to a L in clothing sizes. This was inspirational: My hips are smaller than where my waist…

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…

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 Lost 68 Pounds of Fat in Five Years – This Is What I Learned

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?

Starting over alcohol free
Today is day 15 alcohol free. Starting over with diet and exercise today. About a year and a half or so ago, I went a couple of months with no alcohol and dieting and exercising regularly. Lost 20+ pounds, and then one day, decided margaritas would be a good idea. Well, that ended December 3 when I was detoxing so bad I…

A great start to my journey
All my life I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food, it didn’t matter if I was happy, sad or even angry I would always turn to food for comfort! Just a little over 5 months ago I decided to make a change on how I saw food, re-educationed myself as I couldn’t continue with making the wrong choices and watching the…

Today I walked on my own -Bye bye scooter?
My husband and I both have a severe cold, we both got an earache and a fever overnight and I made an appointment with an urgent care office for Sunday morning. It’s a huge building with modern, long hallways. They have rolling chairs in the lobby, for people who can’t walk very well. I started using these chairs about six…

My weight loss so far
I've not really done one of these posts before as I've never been happy with my progress. But I figured today I'd like to share. I started my current weight loss journey in August 2021. I was 101kg at the time, and that wasn't even my biggest! Fast forward to today, and I am down to 77kg, still a little way to go, but I've…
