From 175 lbs to 175 lbs...
Or, "Why the scale doesn't matter" lol On the left, September of 2012. When I was 175 lbs, fat, and started lifting because I was sick of what I saw in the mirror. On the right, June of 2017. Once again at 175 lbs. I am 5'8" tall. Been as low as 152 and as high as 192. Not yo-yo dieting, just using bulk/cut phases to add…

A year ago today I weighed 166 pounds. In a matter of 11 months a gained 50 pounds and saw myself at 216 and overweight. For the last month I've been using this app along with running 3.5 miles a day and 100 push-ups. I'm now 184 pounds and I feel great. I want to maintain my weight now and maybe go up in muscle! Good…

How long did it take you to lose your first 20 pounds?
I'm just curious what it is for other people. I started my weight loss journey on May 29th of this year and I've lost 12 pounds so far so I weigh 221 pounds. My goal weight is to weigh 130 pounds. But I'm ready to get out of the 200 pound club

Crop tops galore!
So I am making the conscious decision that, since I've lost over 50lbs, I am going to commit to wearing crop tops all summer. I refuse to wear full coverage tops if I don't have to! In all serious, I was fit before and totally took it for granted. With all of the hard work I've put in and the dedication to the journey, I…

NSV time! Share yours!
So, I started a new job at Walmart as cashier March 29 2017. Day after my baby's first birthday. I picked a medium vest, no big deal. Didn't fit. Didn't button up AT ALL! Fast forward to yesterday (July 5th/17) and the top three buttons did up. I was super thrilled! Thanks to Thrive and meal prepping and listening to my…

Just jogged a mile!
I've never been a runner, but I've always wanted the ability to run. I started C25K 2ish weeks ago, doubling up on all of the workouts-meaning I do each workout twice before moving on-and working out 6x per week, not only the recommended 3x. (I will clarify here that I am actually in better shape than just a beginner, but…

Too big for Roller-Coasters. 66 Ibs down!
Last year when I went to Universal Studios I was very embarrassed when I couldn't fit on one of the rides. I told myself that next time I went back I would not have that problem. I've been on my weight loss journey for 5 months and I've gone from 275Ibs to 209Ibs (27Ibs to go). I go back in December and to say I'm excited…

Size 20 to Size 12 in 130 Days with PICS
On 1/9/17 I stepped on the scale for the first time in about a year. I was shocked, devastated, angry, ashamed, sad and about every other emotion you can think of. My anger really set it and I was so mad at myself. How did I allow this to happen? What was I waiting for? The scale said 235!!!!! That is he heaviest weight I…

From 388 to 215.. and still going. It's been quite a ride.
So backstory. I'm 33 years old about 5' 11". I was heavier as a kid, but really put on the weight in my mid to late 20's. I at fast food every day, had no portion control, at large pizzas and a 2 liter of pop in a sitting. It was bad. I never really realized how bad it was. Yeah I was on blood pressure medication etc, but…

Men 5 ft 6 in or there abouts weight loss pictures ???
Just looking for pictures , and anything else you want to share. I started the year at 192 lbs and am now 169 for a loss of 23 lbs and feel a lot better. The BMI chart said I should weigh 154 which means losing another 15 lbs so I " guess " that is about right but it says at 155 I would still be overweight , What ????? LOL

Counting calories help!
Hey everyone! So I was wondering, has anyone on here actually lost weight from just counting calories and exercising? What I mean by that is that you ate whatever you wanted as long as you stayed under your caloric intake goal. I need some hope for the summer, I don't want to be too strict this summer in terms of clean…

6 months in - 20kg/44lb down! (with pictures)
As of today, I’m 6 months into my weight loss journey and I’ve extremely pleased to say that I’m 20kg/44lb down! (I’m strictly a metric girl but since everyone else works in pounds I’m putting equivalents in) My biggest regret is that I didn’t actually weigh myself at the start as I was too afraid of seeing a…

I finally hit my goal (pics)
My name is Erica and I'm almost 27 years old. Throughout high school I always fluctuated between 140-145 and never felt fat because well I wasn't. At 17 I got pregnant and actually dropped to 130lbs (thank you morning sickness) so I felt good knowing I probably won't gain too much weight like my mom told me I would. Well…
