Kicking EDNOS’ *kitten* (TW: Eating Disorders)
My disordered eating started around April of 2020. I began descending the bottomless pit that is low calorie restriction and rapid weight loss. MyFitnessPal was my Jesus, and the scale was my God. My “goal weight” got lower and lower for every one I reached, proving only that there was no end to this. I was going to keep…

Splendid thread!
The comments here are really wonderful. I have lost 20 pounds, with another 10 to go. So many comments are meaningful to me, I think I've experienced most of them. My one regret is that my late husband never saw me looking this good. But he loved me anyway. I seem to be on a plateau for quite awhile. I hope I get off it…

Woo-hoo 55lbs. gone
This is a huge celebration for me. SW: 265 CW: 205 GW: 150. I've been using intermittent fasting as a lifestyle tool for losing weight along with eating quality foods, drinking plenty of water, having grace for myself and exercising. I've been using MFP to tracking my eating intervals in the note section and water intake…

Face To FaceFace after over 99lbs loss
I realized today that I share my progress but I don't think I have shared my story. I began 3 years ago as many of you know. I was 245 lbs a wife and momma to 3 little ones. Constantly sick with migraines, depression, and chronic asthma. In 2013 I was hospitalized 3 times bc of my asthma. Even the treatments there offered…

47lb down - Lifestyle Change without dieting
I am happy that I did not have to follow a calorie restriction diet, but I was able to eat real food and eat every day until I am full. Friend or DM me if you want to see my food diary

Two Months In
On August 26, 2021, I weighed 214 lbs. My blood pressure was 150/95 and my blood sugar was 132 mg/dl. I finally decided it was time to take my health seriously. I'm 59 years old and really did not want my retirement years to be in poor health and not be able to enjoy that time! I started a Ketogenic diet that day. I try to…

Non-scale Victories - pics or comments
Part of losing weight is on the scales, health and wellbeing but there are those victories found off the weighing scales. It might be a top from 2010 now fits, belt buckles holes moving a notch of clothing that fitted that no longer does, in a positive way. Here's one to start us off. My white shirt I wore to a funeral in…

Looking for stories of 30-60lbs weight loss
Every time I look for stories of weigh loss I only find the 100+lbs kind. Which is great! But I don’t identify. What I’ve got is an eating disorder and a self-sabotaging cycle that has spanned YEARS of just trying to lose 40 lbs. Please tell me that it’s possible? And share pics if you can?

The Ring is OFF!!!
I'm a long way from my goal. Started at 255 and am currently 207. Goal is around 160. People have commented on my weight loss and my clothes are looser, but I still have had a hard time seeing the difference in the over 40 pounds loss. But today something amazing happened!!! I graduated high school in 2014. All during my…

NSV quickly after restarting MFP
Just have to share....After regaining 90 lbs back over the last 8ish years, I started tracking and taking care of myself and putting myself first last Monday. This morning I was able to put my belt on and it slipped into the first hole without any effort of sucking my stomach in. Very encouraging to witness. Thanks for…

What 100 lbs gone looks like
Posting because I am so proud of where I am now! And because comparisons like this inspired me when I started my journey. This is over the course of 6 years. Stay the course! There are plateaus, but don’t get discouraged.

My success so far.
It took me a year and a half just to do the introduce yourself post, which I did this morning. I thought maybe I should put this here as it fits a bit better. My name is Rich, I'm 29. I spent probably close to 13 years hiding away in my house. Too ashamed to show my face. Scared whoever saw me would snap a pic.. make me a…

12 month progress
I recently finished a 6 week challenge and thought I’d share my starting shot compared to where I am 12 months later! It’s definitely been a ‘learn as you go’ experience, making many errors along the way. But pretty stoked with the overall progress and realise that it’s more than ok to take as long as you need in your…

Half way there! Losing the COVID weight!!
Hey! I’m Tracey. I was a pretty healthy eater and very active pre March of 2020. COVID threw a wrench in all of our lives and I became pretty sedentary overnight and all the alone time really ramped up my binge eating disorder. Between March of 2020 I gained weight very quickly and by May 2021 I was looking at a 40 pound…

You might think from the photos that the Covid vax is a great weight-loss drug!
Here I am getting my first dose on February 4, 2021. Here I am 90 pounds and eight months later, my booster dose, October 4, 2021. I did this thanks to MFP logging (263 day streak!) and faithful exercising (walked first, now the bike). Am currently trying to make a gradual transition to losing my last 20 lbs and…

Fizzy water weight
Putting away my shopping yesterday I realised my seven 2 litre bottles of fizzy water were equal to the weight I have lost since July 5th. It's amazing when you see it there in front of you, I'm not carrying all this around with me all day anymore!

Me and My Husband Did It Together
I am so proud of what we have accomplished. His goal was muscle gain and he started out at 350lbs about 7 years ago. He's now 220 lbs and has a lot of muscle on him, especially in the last year. I started out at 230 lbs and I am now down to 188 lbs but I've been doing a lot of toning the past 2 1/2 months so the visuals…

Diary of an young 81 year lady.
I'm 81 years young and gained 40 lbs when I returned to college to complete my degree in accounting. I gained an additional 26 lbs after retiring. I lost 19 lbs when I topped the scales at 206 lbs. I maintained my weight for a 2 years and then decided to lose 10 per cent of my body weight at my Doctors request because I…
