How Making CHOICES Has Helped Me Lose Over 80 pounds.
After losing so much weight, I’ve had to buy new things and I often find myself trying on dresses, jeans and shirts, dress slacks and blouses. High heels. When I get dressed, I examine myself from all angles. I am very pleased. I am wearing wedges and a wrap dress. How very cute I am. Then I go out into the world and face…

Weight Loss & Health Revelations
Kind of a different spin on my weight loss success story... Over a year ago, I decided to become healthier. I had been disagnosed with severe asthma, and knew I needed to make some changes to improve my breathing and overall health in other areas, too. This year, for the first time in my life, I have gone to the doctor and…

My Success (in more ways than 1!)
I do my best thinking while doing my cardio. No headphones, no TV. I just feel the burn, breathe, and think. Today I started thinking about where I am, and maybe even more notably, where I've been. I want to share in the hopes it helps others. I grew up being athletic but chunky. I've been 5'10" since high school, and I…

Simplified this whole process for counting and diet with startling results
It is a pain to use an app to track calories. But it taught me how to accurately measure calories and where secret calories get into my daily diet. Without a doubt the app makes it easy. But even easier is doing it not at all. First round I was aggressive 1600 calories + whatever exercise in calories, a large deficiency.…

Still aways to go, but here are some progress photos. If you have 10 pounds or 200 pounds to lose, it can be done with determination and consistency! Feel free…

My Success Story F/26/5'7" [200lbs > 135lbs = 65lbs] (20 months) Pics Inside
Since childhood, I have ranged from being slightly chubby to nearly obese. I was a very active child, however did not have the healthiest diet and had an unhealthy relationship to food in which I used food (mainly carbs and sugar) to cope with my emotions. In high school I got down to 135 lbs. following a vegan diet,…

Hello Old Friend.. It's been a while
Finally! After all these years, I'm back in the 180s! I've been trying and trying different methods/times of eating, I've cracked the code to my success. And.. It was all about mindset for me. Taking care of myself mentally before handling physically. I fixed my relationship with food and I no longer see it as a way of…

I finally finished a work out program!
Ok it was only 3 weeks long. ;) :p I chose it because I figured my goldfish attention span could handle it. And I did have to modify especially the first week. But I actually finished 21 Day Fix which is my huge win! I'm mostly happy to have gotten into a routine of working out every day. It's my plan to keep doing the…

Run into Jealousy?
It's a weird thing with losing weight and jealousy. I'm assuming we have all run into Jealousy and sometimes people trying to sabotage weight loss. I was the heaviest guy at work, along with another guy who was about the same size. I have lost 72-73 pounds and he is still heavy. I have gotten compliments or at least…

I did it!
So. About 6 years ago, I pos5ed a discussion asking if I'd ever be able to run outside for longer than a couple of minutes or in intervals. Well, last night, I did it! I completed the Couch to 5k plan and ran for 30 minutes straight (3 times this week). So proud of myself and determined to keep it up as I've not quite hit…

1 1/2 month of keto.
Not at goal yet, but have lost over 12 inches off stomach. And over 3 pants sizes down (squeezing into size 16/18 yoga pants to pulling up, buttoning, and zipping size 12 jeans). In total shock! I never thought I'd be able to lose the weight that came with a disease I caught which caused a lot of weight gain. But in one…

My success doesn't automatically make them failures....JEALOUSY!
Do you find that the more successful you are in losing weight or changing your body the less people applaud? As in your will to eat better, do better, exercise more is somehow a reflection of their lack of desire or willingness. So instead of being happy for you they are indifferent and sometimes avoid you. Or when you…

After 226lb and a lifetime...
As of this morning, I have a BMI of 25. That’s a goal I’ve dreamed of all my life, in much the same way that one might dream of meeting a unicorn. It was never something I thought could actually happen. Almost two years ago, this was me: I was 27 1/2 stone (385 lb, 175 kg), BMI 60, with one permanently broken ankle and a…

20 lbs (and counting) in 3 months
At 5'4" and 152 lbs, I wasn't obese, but I had inched over into the overweight category. Then, back in May, I read How Not to Die by Michael Greger and realized how I was eating had contributed to my yo-yo dieting all these years. I've been eating whole foods plant based for the last three months and I've lost 20 lbs, and…

I think I can see a difference - 3.5 weeks and 10lb lost
Pic 1 is 1st August, pic 2 is 24th August. I'm 5'7 and started at 12st 10lb. Yesterday, I hit 12st, to my complete shock (lost 3lb since Tues, despite eating most of my calories). I feel better, more like I used to, but I've still 2 stone to go to reach goal weight (10 stone). My lightest ever adult weight was 10 stone…

26/M down 54lbs
Hey guys, I’m a 26yo male and started at 275lbs, now down to 221. I was never particularly in shape, but I gained a lot of weight in college and continued to gain from 2011 to 2018. Early 2019, something just clicked. I was done with being fat, I was tired of being exhausted all the time. I joined a local boot camp…
