Hit 85lb weight loss goal!
I joined MFP years ago, but I got serious about my weight loss in January, 2020 after suffering from pulmonary embolisms and being diagnosed with a heart defect. I know myself pretty well and after several weigh loss failures, I decided to make a plan I felt was feasible for me. I stuck to a plant-based diet, set my…

NSV - Fat, Weight Loss and Amusement Parks: Expectations vs. Reality
My stomach sunk as history repeated itself. “Ma’am, can we have you move to another seat that can accommodate riders of a larger size?” I had been here before, you see, I have a complicated relationship with amusement park rides, fear, sickness, love, exhilaration, and shame all rolled into one complex emotion. As a child,…

Before & After - Recovering From Shoulder Labral Repair on Both Arms!
I've been dealing with shoulder issues as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I thought my shoulders were "double jointed", and I used to move them around to impress my friends (insert sad laughter here). I played baseball and golf, and it didn't bother me too much. A couple times a year, my shoulder would subluxate,…

A Looooong Journey
These are over ten years apart, but what's important for me here is the first pic is shortly after I got out of an abusive relationship. I was somewhere around 220 (I think - no scale, and the last time I had weighed myself was at 220). The second picture was last weekend, March 20, 2021. I have gained about ten pounds…

My 30 day results! Down 11.4lbs and 12" :)
How did you start off 2021? I like to do this 30 day program a couple times throughout the year. This was the 3rd round I have done throughout the years and boy did I need a reset! I will be completely honest--this was the hardest round I've done to date with different obstacles and things that pop up throughout the month.…

I tried Everything, Went from 196 to 159
I watched my Dad die suddenly in 2016, it was brutally traumatic and painful. I gained a ton of weight, at my heaviest I was 196 pounds. I continued to work out, play hockey, cycle, most importantly I trained Jiu Jitsu and meditated. However, nothing seemed to change. It wasn’t until I started weighing my food and being…

My weird NSV
Back in April last year my company gave everyone two black masks. I wore one of them a couple of times but it was miserable. It moved when I talked or laughed and would never stay below my chin. This morning I grabbed a mask out of my mask basket and as I was walking out I realized it was ONE OF THOSE. I geared my self up…

Life or death...I chose life and am almost to my goal of 100 lbs lost!!!

I vowed to myself and loved ones I would turn it all around if I were blessed with the opportunity to change. I lost 82.2…

Last year I signed up for this challenge as well, and completely wasted that $20. I didn't lose a single pound, but couldn't…

Lockdown Weight Gone
I'm not actually sure what my weight was in lockdown. I weighed myself in early January 2020 and was 200lbs. By March, that may have crept up by a pound or two. It certainly won't have crept down. So I know that by the time we entered lockdown, I weighed at least 200lbs, maybe a lb or two more. Over the next nine months, I…

10-YEAR Anniversary using MFP
Ten years ago today I installed an app that changed my life. I've continued to log in every single day since. I had carried lots of extra weight for over twelve years and yet that first year on mfp was dramatic and incredible—and honestly not that difficult (certainly not as hard as I expected)! Over eighty pounds lost…
