2 years of maintenance - 130+ pounds lost

I shared this before and after collage back then: Interestingly, last night on Facebook I saw a post by Go Kaleo that said, of…

First success post
I never posted or felt success before. It's been 20 years of yo-yoing and poor health. Now I finally have normal cholesterol, normal blood pressure, and am no longer prediabetic. I am so grateful. These pics are about a year apart 2023-2024. About 171 lbs to 133lbs.

Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…

Hi! I am Kim. 41/F/OG Fattie! Seriously though, I have been overweight my entire life. I first recognized it at age 10. Well, that’s when other kids started pointing it out to me, honestly. And if you’re reading this, you already know how that made me feel. At 10! That feeling, that girl, those words. They broke me, until…

Fasting Fast
Hi, I usually have issues fasting and withholding from food but I tried it yesterday and it mostly worked. Only cheated when I was studying deeply for an exam and needed a rewarding small piece of cake. Today, not fasting so much but limiting to just a salad with no oil or dressings. Probably gonna come home late and grab…

🐧🐧❄️❄️❄️Want to lose in January, but plan for it now? ❄️❄️❄️🐧🐧
Its that time of the year some will stay by their newer eating plan, others will decide "I'll eat moderately and enjoy it." it's a choice everyone makes that satisfies them. However, most of us, and new members to MFP come Jan will be wanting support. Are you hoping come January you'll be able to eat better? Perhaps…

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…

What's your most recent NSV? What's your next?
I finally made my non-stop mile run. It was stupidly slow, but it was non-stop...and my achilles tendon didn't explode on me. My next is to run a mile in less than 10 minutes.

Lost 6 lbs .. so exiting!
Nothing scarier than a doctor telling you that you have pre-diabetes. I picked up on MFP and started to log meals. It worked! I’m more mindful about what I eat everyday. Lost 6 lbs in about 2 weeks. Went from 146 lbs to 140 lbs. My diet is high in protein to be able to sustain myself and avoid cravings. About .8 grams per…

Let it GO! Decluttering (simplifying) your life of (people, places or things) success stories?
Decluttering and throwing away or giving away the multitudes of "stuff" I have or have had for years (without using) is really helping me so much in this weight loss mind-set. What I'm doing is, ANYTHING I have, that I haven't used in 2 years or more...OUT IT GOES. Now this isn't as easy as it sounds, but as I'm downsizing…
