-165 lb. Weight Loss, 39 lb. Weight Gain, 5% Winter 2025 Challenge To Get Back To Goal
I have been obese my entire adult life. If you can relate, this story is for you. Looking at the pictures I selected to use to tell my story, I realized it took me 30 years to achieve my goal. 30 years is a long darn time to stay focused and true to who you want to become. In 2020 I started an ‘Annual Progression’…

Daily NSV Post
Hey all! I'm starting this thread for a couple reasons. 1. Because I miss the old feed where I could see people's progress and comments and 2. Because my recent cure for doomscrolling has been "hopescrolling" (I made that up just now, no clue if that's an actual thing) where instead of going to Insta or You Tube shorts, I…

Who says you can't get in shape at age 47?
When I graduated school, I was the stereotypical nerd: thin and gangly, big glasses, socially awkward, zero luck with the ladies. Fast forward 15 years, I had somehow found a woman who chose to marry me and together we had four children; that's me and the youngest in the photo. My wife thought it was a wonderful photo of a…

Fox's weekly record
I am 52 years old. I was born with multiple hereditary exostoses. Imagine spikes in your muscles and limited mobility in your joints. I have a pretty severe case of it. Arthritis is a side effect. The details are way too long to list. The summery is that my body is always under a constant state of stress. I can't stand for…

Non-Scale Victories (NSV) - Smaller Waist, Smaller Size, really is a Big WIN!
Keep that tape measure close! When the scale ain't moving, grab your tape measure, check your body girth. Nine times out of ten, you'll find that inches have been lost! For me, when I measure and confirm that indeed, there are changes to my body mass, I rejoice! It indicates my program of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and…

Finally getting back to it
Generally, been struggling to stay consistent with my weight loss goals for the past year or so, sitting at a clean 205lb trying to drop to 175lb. Managed to stay below yesterday (a lot of it was realizing how high-calorie some of my snacks that didn't have nutrition labels were) and I'm really trying to go for it today.…

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.

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…
