exactly 4 months ago
4 months ago, on April 17th, I was 252 lbs. I wore size 18-20 pants and a 2x top. My knee hurt me, I snored, and I had high blood pressure. I thought I looked chubby but cute, and was always surprised at how bad I looked when I caught site of myself in the mirror. Today, I'm 200 lbs. Still overweight, but down 52lbs. I'm…

Finally results!!
I've been gyming for years on and off, but never got results, then after becoming a dad started to put on weight again. This time I was determined to get results. I hit the gym again, but this time I properly measured everything. I counted calories, watched my macros and took pictures to see any (hopeful) progress. I think…

80.5 lbs down before and after.
Started my lifestyle change on 5/30/16 after talking to my doctor who recommended a registered dietician. I was frustrated I wasn't losing weight like I usually do. I started at 215.5 lbs and waist was 44.5 inches. In the first pic I'm wearing a XXL shirt and jeans size 16. One year later I'm down 80.5 lbs and my waist is…

A look back at 2017 - did you achieve more than you think?
I've been a member of MFP for close to two years now, but didn't consider myself a "Success Story" until today. I was writing this post for a group I belong to and I realised that yes, I actually AM a success! I may not have reached my goal yet, but I have been - and am still being - successful. So I decided to share my…

I was just enjoying the special sauce and frys. Angie was talking about an app she had on her phone that tracked her calories and it…

So I knew I put on weight being with my partner, meeting him at 11 stone I had now grown to a curvy 14 stone but what did he expect we ate out all the time, cuddled watching movies eating snacks, all our activities somehow included food. I put it down to being in a happy relationship and I could always go on a diet next…

1 year, almost 50 lbs lost (168 to 120)
5'6" 168 to 120 Now working on strength goals and maintenance! I've learned so much from this community- thank you! What I've learned: -I feel best when I get protein in every meal (including nuts and eggs) and don't eat many simple carbs without protein. -1 lb per week is doable. I was surprised when I reached my goal…

191 pounds lost since January (288 total). I am no longer obese.
Hit a rather big long term goal today. On December 31, 2016 I weighed 400.8 pounds (BMI of 58) Today I clocked in at 209.2 pounds (BMI of 30) That moves me from obese to overweight on the chart. My waist was 69 inches, chest was 62. Now 41 inches and 42 inches. In July of 2015 I was in the hospital for a broken leg, and…

On the backstretch C25K
Finished day 1 of week 7 today; 25 minutes running without walking. It was a beautiful winter day in Texas, a scattering of gentle wispy clouds against a stunning blue sky. 61F with the gentle refreshing breeze. I let my mind wander, listened to some tunes and kept those legs moving. I did not worry at all about my speed…

365 days logged
Wow. A whole year of logging into this site. It may not seem like a big thing, seeing how Facebook is logged every 10 seconds, but Wow. A year. I'll admit, it hasn't been a total productive year, but 50 pounds are gone. At first I noticed that I was 20 days away from 100. I wasn't very invested in myself. Lost interest…

One year of progress - 320 to 227
It hasnt been easy, and there were days where I slipped up. Bad habits were broken, better habits were formed. My one piece of advice is that the worst you feel on a good day is still better than the best you feel on a bad day. Cant wait for year two!

This morning I hit 90 pounds down from my highest weight of 225 lbs. I'm finally ready to share the story of my weight loss, even though it took me 11 years to get here.

Finally under 150KG! (330 pounds)
I finally made it to under 150KG! In Australia it’s a big deal as it’s the weight limit of many things - ladders, exercise machines etc. People are starting to notice the weight loss too - it used to be a twice a week thing but now I barely go a day where it isn’t mentioned multiple times. I used to think I’d get sick of…
