Once Upon A Time…
I was a little fat kid before, one day…🫨🫢there was a CrossFit competition in my PE class, I told myself “I’m gonna win this” So over the weekend, I trained, trained and trained again, and after that…I trained again! And I went and crushed everyone, easily! After I looked at myself in the mirror, and this is what I saw…💪🏻🍫,…

Kudos to myself
53 yo and I’ve never actually worked out at anytime in my life. I stayed active though, kick boxing all through my 20’s, climbing miles of stairs throughout by 30’s, doing nothing but traveling, being a foodie, and loving craft beer through my 40’s and weighing at my max 240#! 46yo husband died from cancer, in 7 months I…

I still have a long way to go and still don't love what I see in the mirror, but I am much happier and feel physically healthier. I can walk longer distances, climb the stairs…

Realistic Weight Loss goal?
Hi guys, I'm currently recovering from an eating disorder where I've been binge eating a lot. I'm the heaviest I've ever been, at 181.6 right now. I used to be 163 a couple months ago, so I gained a whole lot. Right now I've joined a program through my healthcare that gives me feedback on diet, exercise, and weekly…

250 lbs to 175 lbs. How many of you who lost 30+ lbs have been asked if you are taking Ozempic?
I only use calorie restriction and exercise. I am muscular at 15% body fat. It's amazing the things people think when you reach a goal like going from 250 to 175. It took 1 year and lots of hard work, yet they never quite believe it. I hear people at work talking about ozempic when I am around. it's a success story though.…

My journey started 348 days ago
Started on February 15, 2024. I was 546lbs. (I was actually probably more than that but I had no access to a scale that could weigh me and that was the last weight I knew I was). As of January 24, 2025 I was down 199lbs. I am now 347lbs. I might be insane but I was so annoyed that I was not down 200lbs, a nice round…

45 Pounds down and the seats are shrinking
Tomorrow I will walk into the hospital with my head held up high. I will have surgery on my neck and it doesn’t scare me anymore. The scale showed 303 lbs yesterday in the morning. I know that’s a lot for a woman, even if one is tall. I didn’t accomplish what I had hoped for (to be under 300) but it doesn’t matter. I am in…

22lbs down and 175 to go!
Really excited to share have lost 22lbs since Christmas! Dieting has never really worked in the past, likely because they were fad diets. Am really trying to focus on a low-carb diet but am finding difficulty getting enough protein daily. Have never tried protein powder before and am wondering if anyone has had success…
