I'm now 55 and trying to gracefully accept where I am and be content.. I would love to lose another 10 lbs but I'm good if I don't. But I have to watch…

Update: Almost 60 lbs of weight loss since 3/21/2019!
I originally posted my story under "ESRD Fighter." - 238 is my starting weight - 182 is my current weight. I gained muscle mass and overall cardio health through my regimen, even through 4 months in quarantine. I was able to walk that fine line between weight loss and muscle gain: EXERCISE - I just did bodyweight…

H1C from 9 to 6.5 in three months.
Three months ago, my doctor got my attention by telling me my H1C had leapt up to 9. I hauled out a dusty glucose monitor and discovered my blood sugar was in the mid-300s. Since then, I've been losing weight at about 1.5 pounds/week and lost 25 pounds so far. I've also started exercising 5 to 6 days per week. And,…

Sleeve Surgery success stories please?
I just had surgery this week. Had 2-3 people I know tell me it was the best thing they ever did, they've lost about 100 lbs, and they would do it again in a heartbeat. But looking in Fitnesspal.... I mostly just see posts from people talking about how it has failed. How they have gained so much weight back. And it seems…

100 pounds 1 year
I did. I hit 100 pounds RIGHT at one year!! I did it 💯 natural. No pills, no surgery, all me. Just fasting! I eat every other day only lunch and dinner. I'm sure that sounds extreme to some, but if u look up benefits of fasting and autophagy you would see why I chose this route. I love it so much!! If you stick with what…

Broke into the 370s!
I cross posted this on the notification threads as well, but hey, I feel like it’s a success story for me, even if it’s not my ultimate success! I stepped on the scale this morning to a new decade! 370s and 55 pounds down! A ways to go to hit my goal of 205 (I’m 6’4) but it’s nice to see success. It helps me to keep…

Woah, we're half way there!
Its been a while since I put anything on here At the start of this year I had reached a weight I was incredibly unhappy with, All of my xxl clothes were getting tight, and my BMI had crept up to over 36% In January, after many attempted starts of this journey something seemed to 'click' I always think the hardest shift is…

I started my weight loss journey at 318 lbs, joined mfp after loosing 12lbs, left and then came back over and over. Around a year ago something just clicked, I…

I started one year ago today...
I gained 80 lbs over the 10 years after college. It happened so slowly that I never even saw that I had changed so much, but now I see it. Honestly i avoided having my body seen by a camera for a few years so I don't have many comparison photos to "showcase" my progress. I started MFP 365 days ago, 36 years old, 5'4 and…

How long did it take you?
To hit that goal weight. For example, If you wanted to lose 50lbs by losing half a pound a week would it take you a little over 2 years? Was it quicker or slower than MFP predictions?

I've lost 165 lbs and 10 more to go.
On Nov.13th 2017 my wife took me to the emergency room. I thought I had pneumonia or bronchitis. They quickly discovered that I was in AFib. That day changed my life. I weighed in at 390.2 lbs. Today I am down to 225.6 lbs with a goal weight of 215 by my one year anniversary of going to the hospital. I owe a lot of my…

I couldn’t have done it without ya all and there’s still a long way to go but I feel good about the support and lucky to get the guidance. Started hitting the gym when I weighed just under 100 lbs, abnormally skinny but didn’t give up. Gained 40 lbs, for…

1 year photo comparison! 3 months MFP!
OK here goes! Heres a 1 year comparison pic! I started MFP in November but fell off the wagon pretty quickly... 20th April I restarted and have been pretty good the last 3 months (I won't deny I have not been overly strict!) Mixed with watching what I eat, eating back my exercise calories, running 2-3 times a week and…

My toxic and manipulative relationship motivated me to start working out again! Im 42.4lbs down!
For 6 years of my life i was in a relationship that seemed incredibly loving and real or so seemed. At the core of it there were so many lies and toxicity.She(56) was much older and took advantage of my(28) naivety and trusting nature. I was so blinded by love that i did not even notice all the control and manipulation.…

NSV- I climbed a mountain
Long story short, I was an overweight kid with a low activity lifestyle. Never moved unless I had to and even then I'd consider alternatives. Graduated college at 240lb and decided that was probably not a good thing as I'm just 5'4. Joined curves, started tracking and got down to 155. That was the lowest I'd weighed since…

If I can do it, you can to!
The pictures are ten years and 70 pounds apart. Lots of logging, exercising, stopping and starting over in between. Still working on toning but I am happy in my body. The moral of the story is believe in yourself!

I'm eating around 1600 calories a day and I weigh myself every two weeks. There are times when I eaten more or less than 1600 calories…

My Success Story
Hopefully my story can give anyone who needs it some motivation to stay positive and keep trying! My weight was always a little higher than normal throughout childhood, but loneliness and depression made my weight balloon to almost 18st by the time I was 18 years old. When I was about to start university, I made the…

More PCOS weight loss progress!
Picture on the right was taken this morning. I’m just speechless... I’m very proud of how far I’ve come. It was a tough climb but I’m so glad that with each fall, I got back up again and persevered. Still got a long way to go but I’m happy with my progress. ❤️

58lbs lost in 4 months
Hi, I’m new to this App but since March 20th I’ve lost 58lbs. Just to say all I did was walk 20,000 steps 7 days a week and eat no more than 1,200 calories a day. I found I was losing between 3-4lb a week consistently. It was slow and boring but if consistent not that difficult really. It’s made me obsessed with the scales…

Celebrating One Year and 115lbs down - New 8wk push to peak fitness for B-Day
I celebrated the one-year mark of this little project on Sunday. To date I am down right around 115lbs, from 320ish to 205ish. I have been getting a ton of great exercise this summer but admittedly my diet has waned in the past couple of months with far more "adult beverages" and fat/sugar intake. My weight has been steady…

The best advice I could give anyone is that you need to be ready,there were so many times I tried to diet but I just wasn’t…

What can calisthenics do for you? Let me show you.
One quick note – PLEASE do not turn this into a debate of weightlifting vs. calisthenics/bodyweight strength training (it is not at all my intention to imply that one is better than the other). The “lift heavy” mantra is very popular on MFP, that’s obvious – but for those of you who don’t necessarily have heavy lifting…
