2 lbs from final goal weight!!!
36. 5’6. Highest weight was 196 before I decided to do something about it. Current weight is 137. So glad to finally be back closer to my pre babies weight. I went from 196 to 152 in about 4 months which was probably a bit to fast but I maintained that for about 3 years before starting to scoot back up to 161 lbs 5months…

I swallowed myself that’s what a friend who saw me at my biggest weight said to me. I respected it!
I worked really hard lost 30 pds! Wasn’t where I wanted to be but about 10pds away. Covid hit and I gained 60 pds. I’m so frustrated because how did I let myself go like that. Thankfully, I have a workout group that has gotten me back together! I’m down 40 pds but it’s not the same YAY! feeling I felt last time because if…

The Rewards of Losing Weight
My lovely wife of 44.6 years has stuck by my side as I have gone from 427lbs. down to my current weight of 288. She said she had a reward for me. It was one chocolate chip peanut butter cookie. I only ate one of them cuz that's all she gave me. But, it was at least 6 inches in diameter. I ate it all! Groovy. :D

Most recent update for me
Another update to my journey that started last year in May 2023. I have now lost 30% of my body weight. I know I weighed more than 200lbs at one point, but the last "weigh in" at the doctor's office was 194 before I started refusing to let them weigh me, so I'll go with that. 1am now down to 138, and am currently stuck in…

Lost 167 pounds naturally (no surgery) in 3 years! (5’9 31 year old female)
(No I’m not flipping the bird) Hey there! I’m Ashley! I’m 31 and I’m a Boston gal who lives near Charleston SC. I started my weight loss journey (for real this time) 3 years ago after my father passed from CHF and my mother got sick with lymphoma (she unfortunately passed a year later.) I was only in my late 20s and was…

tying my hoodie sleeves
Back when I was young and skinny I used to wear my hoodie around my waist with the sleeves knotted in front. As I gained weight I switched to either a half square knot which needed constant tightening, or stuffing the sleeves in my pockets. I tied them in a square knot last week for the first time in years! Squeee!

YOUR LOSS EQUALS GAINS
Being slim all my life I never thought I’d be over weight one day and pick up some very unhealthy habits. Drinking was also a factor. When enough was enough I did keto for 6/8 months. Gradually adding in cardio and resistance training. I lost 60lbs in 9 months and hope it’s motivating enough for you all to reach your…

Celebrating 1 year of Maintenance
I can't believe it's been a year already and it's honestly been the best year of my life I started my journey at 388 pounds at age 40. Everything hurt. I would get winded showering. In Feb.2022 I decided to make a change. I had an appointment with my Doctor to look into weight loss surgery but I decided to give it one more…

Afib and weight loss
Last August, I was diagnosed with Afib. Everyone's different, but the way it affected me was that my heart beat way too fast for minor effort. At the top of a flight of stairs, I'd be bent over, hands on my knees, chest heaving as if I'd just run a fast 100-yard dash. This was not how I wanted to live the rest of my life.…

7 freaking years...
Morning everyone! I wanted to share my success and the long road behind it. The image below was a wake-up call for me. I was unaware of how much weight I had gained and was dealing with type 2 diabetes and other health issues. I knew that a change had to happen. Initially, like many others, I felt frustrated and…

26lbs gone in 11wks
At 182lbs I thought work out people were CRAZY. Truth: I was insecure. Secretly I wanted to be them but making fun of them made me feel better about myself. That's hard to admit. 🙈 Fast forward I lost 26 lbs. I knew AFTER focusing on nutrition the next habit for sustainability was getting active. I started dance classes to…

New Diet Goal!
I've gotten the point where I've actually awknowleged where most of my excess calories are coming from, and just 'not logging' anything that makes me go over out of guilt isn't helping anything. I've cut back on a lot of things that were high-calorie improptu snacks, too! I feel like I'm on a good track.

Cancel before trial period ends
I thought about canceling so I was looking into it and now I'm 100% sure I want to cancel. This is for the simple fact that MyFitnessPal offers no simple solution to cancel before the trial. And. I've been online and on my phone for over an hour now just trying to figure this out. Can anybody out there give me a hand?…

Always feel full
When I sit down for a meal, I usually don’t stop until I feel full. At that point I’m not only full, but I feel uncomfortable.
