I hit my 100lbs today
Today I hit my hundred pounds lost. I am a bit emotional about it. It has been a massive journey and one of the best things I have ever done. It has been so hard at times but it has shown me how appreciative I am off my body and how I am stronger than I even know. I have genuinely fallen in love with myself through this…

When your Dr and Nurse make you feel great!
Hi My Dr and Nurse made a big deal today over my weight loss of 10 lbs in 4 months. 4 lbs since I started MFP diary 2 weeks ago. We discussed my goal to lose another 20 to get a bmi of 25. I left there feeling totally confident I could do it. I didn't expect their enthusiasm, but it made my day. I started by spacing my…

Nervous of gastric sleeve

Survived Vacation!
I've lost over 30 pounds the last couple months, and decided I wasn't going to sweat the food while on vacation in Europe for ten days. I was stunned to come home today and I weighed 2 pounds less than the day I left! I didn't track my food at all (breaking a 60-something day streak here), but knew I'd be walking A LOT and…

Older women success stories please!
I'm starting to get intimidated by all the 20 something people who lose 100 lbs and look AMAZING!! I'm afraid that when I lose my 60 lbs, I'm still going to look like an "eh" 45 year old. I also have heard that it's so much harder to lose weight post-menopause. Should I just throw in the towel now?:ohwell:

I’ve lost 300lbs so far with calorie diet and exercise
I recently lost 300lbs with calorie diet and exercise 6 days a week. I’ve overcome broken back, neck, punctured lung and small stroke through my journey. I’m still a work in progress but I hop my story can help those that feel there’s no hope. If you want change then be change.

Far from done.. but happiness is ahead.
3 years ago today, the girl on the left went to breakfast with her cousin to meet her new baby. She went home and was smacked in the face with a confession from her husband that had been having an affair. She was sad. Broken. Insecure and blamed herself for being fat. Looked at her then 8 year old and just wanted to hide…

65 lbs lost...I feel like a different person
The before pictures are embarrassing to post but I'm proud of the work I've done. They were taken a couple months after I had my daughter. She just turned 3 Jan 5th. When I see my reflection walking past it catches me by surprise, I still look in the mirror expecting to see something different. I still have more I want to…

153 lbs in 365 days (pics)
Yeah, 153 lbs in 365 days of logging food on this site. No, no surgery. No, no miracle shakes or pills, or anything like that. I earned every... last... pound of what I have shed from my formerly rotund body. 1 year ago today, I closed out my first day on Myfitnesspal. I was tipping the scales right at/above 337 lbs. Why…

Forty two pounds down and improved lab work.
In February 2018 my doctor called in a prescription for a statin for high cholesterol . I was already on Metformin for the past year for newly diagnosed diabetes and blood pressure medication. I’m an RN and know what those issues could do to me. I had used the MyFitnessPal app off and on but never long term. This time,…

I’ve lost 5 lbs in 5 days with IF
I’ve lost 5 lbs with IF in 5 days. I don’t eat breakfast or lunch but I do eat dinner but it’s light or small. If I do get hungry which is rare I eat a yogurt cup for a snack. I honestly don’t get an appetite and I’ve been on the other spectrum where I’m starving and need to eat. But mostly no appetite for this to really…

Lost 5 lbs. in 5 days with IF
I’ve lost 5 lbs in 5 days with IF. I don’t eat breakfast or lunch but I do eat dinner but nothing huge. Sometimes I won’t eat dinner either. Depends on my hunger. And being “regular”. But the meals are like snacks otherwise I won’t lose. I am a very slow loser. But I have had success so far! At one time I had lost 80lbs.…

Mini Success; It has been only 4 days and lost a little bit of weight
So I have started eating under/above 1500 calories, (1520 being my TDEE) for the last four days and have lost about two pounds. It is probably water weight and I should not be really excited, but I am still very excited since I am doing IF with a little bit of skimmed milk in my coffee in the breakfast and pretty good…

I jogged/ran for an hour!
So chuffed. First time I've ever been able to jog/run continuously for an hour on a treadmill. Only managed 8.6km but it's the furthest I've done none stop since starting (on and off) in September and I'm aiming for 10km in the next few months. Maybe then I'll finally start doing outdoor runs...Woop!

3st down!
Well hi folks. I started my journey on the 12th of December after being told my cholesterol was dangerously high. I joined here. Started logging my food. Changed how, what and when I ate. As a chef this was a massive challenge. I have had a lot of support from my Fiancée, my work colleagues and friends I have made on here.…

Amazing before and after photos
BEFORE - 1,672 calories AFTER 0 calories With a smaller gut after dropping 29 lbs., I can’t believe I ate everything on the plate. A full rack of baby back BBQ ribs and a “naked” large baked potato. That’s my NSV for today.

Passing 30lbs down - plenty more to go!
I’ve never shared anything like this before, but I’ve been finding this community really helpful, so I wanted to. I have PCOS and am trying to lose a good amount of weight to improve my future chances of conceiving. I’m trying hard to do things sensibly this time, although it’s hard. I have a tendency to extremes. But…
