tying my hoodie sleeves
Back when I was young and skinny I used to wear my hoodie around my waist with the sleeves knotted in front. As I gained weight I switched to either a half square knot which needed constant tightening, or stuffing the sleeves in my pockets. I tied them in a square knot last week for the first time in years! Squeee!

YOUR LOSS EQUALS GAINS
Being slim all my life I never thought I’d be over weight one day and pick up some very unhealthy habits. Drinking was also a factor. When enough was enough I did keto for 6/8 months. Gradually adding in cardio and resistance training. I lost 60lbs in 9 months and hope it’s motivating enough for you all to reach your…

Celebrating 1 year of Maintenance
I can't believe it's been a year already and it's honestly been the best year of my life I started my journey at 388 pounds at age 40. Everything hurt. I would get winded showering. In Feb.2022 I decided to make a change. I had an appointment with my Doctor to look into weight loss surgery but I decided to give it one more…

Afib and weight loss
Last August, I was diagnosed with Afib. Everyone's different, but the way it affected me was that my heart beat way too fast for minor effort. At the top of a flight of stairs, I'd be bent over, hands on my knees, chest heaving as if I'd just run a fast 100-yard dash. This was not how I wanted to live the rest of my life.…

7 freaking years...
Morning everyone! I wanted to share my success and the long road behind it. The image below was a wake-up call for me. I was unaware of how much weight I had gained and was dealing with type 2 diabetes and other health issues. I knew that a change had to happen. Initially, like many others, I felt frustrated and…

26lbs gone in 11wks
At 182lbs I thought work out people were CRAZY. Truth: I was insecure. Secretly I wanted to be them but making fun of them made me feel better about myself. That's hard to admit. 🙈 Fast forward I lost 26 lbs. I knew AFTER focusing on nutrition the next habit for sustainability was getting active. I started dance classes to…

New Diet Goal!
I've gotten the point where I've actually awknowleged where most of my excess calories are coming from, and just 'not logging' anything that makes me go over out of guilt isn't helping anything. I've cut back on a lot of things that were high-calorie improptu snacks, too! I feel like I'm on a good track.

Cancel before trial period ends
I thought about canceling so I was looking into it and now I'm 100% sure I want to cancel. This is for the simple fact that MyFitnessPal offers no simple solution to cancel before the trial. And. I've been online and on my phone for over an hour now just trying to figure this out. Can anybody out there give me a hand?…

Reversed BD??
Hello everyone, thank you for reading and maybe I am not alone out there. I have suffered from BD most of my life from when I was about 7-8 years old till about a year ago.

First Pound Lost!
I wanted to share the news that I lost my first pound. Obviously, this is not an impressive accomplishment by any means (especially in comparison to some of your success stories), but it’s meaningful to me because it is an objective acknowledgment that I am making progress. My next mini-goal is to lose 5 lbs: hopefully…

I've been at this for years, and still need support do you also?

50 lbs lost in 40 days.
Well, my story starts when in November 2023 I ended up in ER, and after my sugar was measured (865) I received new diagnosis: diabetes, and was hospitalized. Diagnose was bit of a shock, as over last half year I was receiving confusing sugar readings (will skip explain all for space sake). With 355lb weight, congestive…

I've lost 100 pounds!!!
At the start of January I went to a soccer game with some friends. I was so big I could barely make it up the stairs. My knees felt like they were gonna give out. I was getting winded showering.
