On my way!
I just wanted to post an encouragement to anyone struggling with weight loss on here. 7 months ago, just before I turned 36, I stepped on my scale and it read 405.4 lbs. I could always say "at least I'm not as big as my dad." Well, Dad had to start losing weight for his health and it wasn't long before he passed me on the…

Just a starter
I am just begining. I used to be able to walk nonstop forever without feeling tired. As the weight has piled on and the winter has dragged, I have gotten to the point that I couldn't do a 20 minute walk without feeling winded. This week I was able to walk 30 minutes without feeling too tired!! It is just as start but it is…

Guys I am so pumped to report I've logged for 60 days!!!!! I have not been perfect but the last 2 months I have been able to make small changes that are slowly adding up and getting easier. I exercised 25/60 days (which includes 2x week strength training) which is huge for me considering I've been very sedentary for a few…

My journey from barely walking to 175lb deadlifts
For over two decades, I have made every attempt to stay fit. I loved cardio and the feeling of “high” that came from running and sweating it out. . 18 months ago, I started suffering from extreme low back pain to the point where standing, sitting and bending became excruciating painful. An MRI indicated “degenerative disc…

In exactly 6 weeks I have lost another 19 pounds for 33 total pounds lost since November. 1880 calories per day and lifting 4-5 times per week with cardio included. Eat as…

Back to my start weight
Hey there everyone! I’ve been using MFP for a few years now and I’ve finally hit a milestone that I felt was worth sharing. I first joined this site in May of 2012 weighing in at 177 pounds at 5’8”. I wanted to lose about 20 pounds. I was 19 at the time and my weight felt like it was totally out of my control. Calorie…

Finally managed to lose weight (40 lb+) the healthy way!!!
I've never posted on here before so feels a bit weird but I wanted to share it with people who may understand... I've been on diets since I was about 7. I am now 45, and at the beginning of the summer decided to just make small changes and not snack at night and walk everyday. It's been 7 months, and I have gone from 210…

Is it necessary to sweat to lose weight?
I cover 8 km in 2 hours. It's winter & I don't sweat. Will I still lose weight with exercise? Thanks.

Success after false starts

160 pounds off... Maintained for almost 2 years
I waited a long time to post a success story. I think there are lots of successes in life, but also lots of challenges. I wanted maintenance to be part of the success! Now I've kept the first 50 pounds off for more than five years, and I've maintained within ten pounds of my lowest weight for about 2 years now. It was both…

120 lbs lost so far
I don't like the terms "Before and After" because my journey is still in progress and I have a long way to go to meet my goal and to then maintain it. I am 5'11". In February of 2018, I weighed the most I ever had - more than 346 pounds. Food has always been my source of comfort and stress relief. I have been on the yo-yo…

180 pounds GONE
Down almost 180 pounds since I started my journey 2 years ago! Weight loss takes patience, dedication, and willpower. It requires WORK. So if you ask me what I did to lose weight, THAT will be my answer. Because everyone is different, what worked for me may not work for you. But what always works is remaining dedicated,…

My Turn!
I’ve been fighting my weight since puberty. My first big weight loss was on the Cambridge Diet (kind of a proto-Slim Fast pyramid scheme) back in the early 80s. I was 16 years old, and managed to get down to 140 from a high of about 180, and managed to squeeze into a size 12 (nowadays, a size 6). Dipped maybe ten pounds…
