I HATE the word diet!!!!! HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
If someone that is “healthy”, “in shape”, or “skinny” eats clean that’s it no one makes a deal out of it but if someone that is trying to loose weight does the same they are in diet and the whole world needs to know. Why can someone start to eat healthy and clean and they just happened to loose weight in the process. I…

3 Months and 30 Pounds
Went from 272 to 242 in 94 days. Might actually be a bit lighter. The less I weigh, the more trouble I have with my stomach. :< Not the point though. 30 pounds felt impossible in April. But now it's gone. Gone despite the 1600 calorie slice of cheesecake and the entire birthday cake, the occasional fast food dinner, the…

Took two years to focus on me..
I’ve been away.. from social media and this app for over two years now. I got pretty overweight (5’ 10” 225lbs) and my girlfriend ended up leaving me after 8 years together because of it, because I was so miserable with myself and I wasn’t able to make her happy any longer... it was my own fault. After all, how can you be…

My new life
I joined MFP on 18th May 2019. The previous day, I'd been diagnosed with T2 Diabetes. Typical of me, I went straight to T2, without the 'pre-diabetes' warning. To say I was devastated is an understatement. I felt a lot of self-pity, but mostly shame. How did I allow myself to put on so much weight? Then I took a long, hard…

1 year recomp+1 year bulk and cut
I don't really see it under normal circumstances, but finally did a back comparison. Theres 2 years between the 2 photos, top photo was when I first hit my goal weight. (The skin is my battle scar so to speak, I've lost 140lb and will not be having surgery). I was fairly happy with where I was, but did want to reduce fat…

Progress!
Hello everyone, Just wanted to encourage someone today. I started counting calories at the beginning of June: Weight 184lbs Height 5’4” Age 22 I had no idea how many calories I was eating a day because I believed at the time that it didn’t matter. I was eating healthy (no sugar, bread, or junk food). But no matter how…

Boy when I think back to how much and what I used to eat!
Now that I have lost 72 pounds over the past 13 months or so and I think back to how much and what I used to eat I almost get sick. Mindless eating, over eating, and just plain eating horribly. When I got home from work it was like bonkers time with eating. Didn't think about calories or how much fat, didn't even know what…

#TBT Throw Back Thursday with a twist (and pics)!
Since it's a Thursday, I'm sharing a throwback pic and a more current pic for the first time ever! Yikes! There's about a 20 lb difference in the pics. I've lost about 33 lbs total, with 30 - 35 to go. It's been a roller coaster journey since I restarted in January 2018, but I'm going to keep working to achieve my goal of…

500 days with MFP
Started on 170 kg - 375 pounds, lost so far 41 kg - about 90 pounds. Walking a short distance used to be difficult, now I can walk 3 to 4 hours a day and I walk every second day. Great support from MFP and all those encouraging members, thank you. Now I understand my "trigger food" - in my case bread: 2 large loaves at…

50th Birthday and 8 years of work
Today is my 50th birthday, finally middle-aged... hehe I started my weight loss journey almost 8 years ago when I was over 350 lbs (my scale just said ERR). There have been ups and downs along the way, as there will always be, that's the way life works. My first real full set of blood tests 5 years ago was a real shock (I…

Dropped my 70th Pound Today! Wife Under 200 as well!
Hit a big milestone today as I dropped my 70th pound. I was darn near 400 pounds the first week of May, then today I weighed in at 325.7!!! We are both doing the Atkins diet and have really developed a long-term plan. We have had to make some changes over the past couple weeks in order to find creative ways to add fiber to…

I can't believe I achieved my original goal of losing 104 lbs!!
I can't believe I achieved this!! 🎉 When I started 4 years ago, I never imagined I would reach this 'impossible' goal of reaching 180 lbs - which is 104 lbs lost!! 😁 I originally selected a number that looked good - over 100 lbs lost and a nice even number. It took 4 years of dedication, eating right, exercising and having…

I am officially NO LONGER OBESE!!!!!!!!!
I started out at 263 pounds, I am now 173! All done with CICO, though I did add in a gym membership 3 months ago. Thanks for all the support these last few years. I still have 40 pounds to go, but I'll take it slow and steady...eventually I'll get there

60 lbs
Last year I was sitting at 230 pounds. In order to get my dream job I had to drop to 180 which I thought would be impossible. Now I’m comfortably sitting at 170 with plans to drop to about 150-160. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough!

size 14 to size 8/10
I’ve been so down about my body recently, that this really made me feel better. It’s OK to have doubts, but the key I’ve found is CONSISTENCY! This is over 2 years. 80% of my diet is whole foods and my whole diet is plant-based. I also do cardio and strength training ❤️🚀

Early NSVs!
I reckon I'm on track to have lost my first half-stone by the end of the week and I'm starting to feel the differences now. Doing pilates before bed, there were extra inches at the crotch of my leggings, I had to keep pulling them up! And laying flat in bed, I got a bit of a shock when I happened to put my hand on my belly…

Calorie Deficit - No Exercise
I used to exercise a lot (cycled to work etc.) but I've had an injury, and now can't do much at all. Hopefully this isn't permanent, but I've put on about a stone, and I'm miserable. I know that a calorie deficit is enough to lose weight, and I don't HAVE to train, but I'd love to hear this from people that have lost…
