Lost 60 lbs but gained confidence!
I have been able to keep off the 60lbs I lost in 2017. When I first started I was afraid that it would just be another diet. I have learned so much about nutrition, weight loss, attitude, mindset and surrounding yourself with positive people. I was on so many medicines for unneccessary things like high blood pressure,…

2018 was my year!
In January of this year I decided IT WOULD BE MY YEAR! What a year it’s been for me! I have done so many things I never thought possible! I bought size EXTRA smalls. I fit into a size zero. I walked around Tokyo half naked for comic con and felt incredible! I hit my goal weight and then surpassed it! I gained strength and…

129 LBS lost, NO CRAZY DIET
Hey guys! So, I've lost 129 lbs since last year, April 2017. There was no crazy restrictive diet. Just common sense, cutting out bad foods and staying active. It's been a long journey, but I'm nowhere near finished. Can't wait to hear the rest of your guys success stories. If you have any questions, ask away!

Down 93 lbs and counting
I've been overweight since childhood and obese into adulthood. One day I woke up and decided I wanted to make a change. I have two children of my own and I didn't want them following in my footsteps. I was teased in school and I did fine, but I don't want them to have to go through the same. I started my journey January…

DAY ONE JAN 1 2019
To just get through this day reaching my calorie goal would be fantastic... ate whatever I wanted through the holiday season and like a lot of people now it's time to get serious, but I truly want to get serious.

My Reflections back on 1500 consecutive days logging into MFP and my 207 lbs lost!
I used to be depressed and wonder how and why I became an incredibly unhealthy and extremely obese 400 lb man, and such an unhappy person in my early 50's. I was on 9 medications, type 2 diabetic, and ready to throw in the towel... One day, I came to the realization that it was nobody's fault but my own and had to hold…

2018 Year-end review (pics!)
I am very happy with my results, even though there are and have been times when it feels like its taking forever to get where I want to be. I am working on enjoying the moment and being proud of all I have accomplished. I've lost an average of 1.3 pounds per week for the past 11 months. My starting weight was 265, and is…

Are exercise calories shown on MFP on the higher side?
Should I be entering a lower value? If so, how do I calculate it? Thanks.

My year of living lighter
I'm almost 57, and only 156 cms (5'1 1/2"). Exactly one year ago, at 84 kg (185 lb) I was way over a healthy BMI. I looked like this: I had been telling myself I'd lose weight and get fitter for a long, long time. One year ago, I read a couple of articles that really flicked a switch in my brain. One I can't find any more…

The only real way to lose weight
I rediscovered this trick to losing weight. Over the Christmas period I have actually lose 2 kilograms of weight. How ? I hear you ask. Was it keto ? was it atkins ? Was it the famous Brussel Sprout diet ? NO. It was catching a nasty case of the flu. A few years ago I went to India and spent the following week losing…

Raising (Technically Lowering) the Bar
I sincerely hope this motivates someone who may be looking at MFP for the first time. If you’d asked me nearly four months ago, if I’d be sitting where I am now, I would have laughed in your face. It hasn’t been hard, it’s actually been a pleasure learning new things about myself and my capabilities. If I can do this, you…

Reading other people's weight loss and fitness journeys inspires me to keep trying. I appreciate their grim determination. They help me think it is possible to accomplish my goals. I have been on my own journey and thought that I might contribute my modest story to the list of successes. At 64, I decided that the time was…

Thank You to My Building's Annoying Food Delivery Policy
So today hadn't been a great day. I hurt my toe pretty badly at training a couple of days ago, and went to the doctor today to get xrays and see if it was broken. Thankfully it was not, but I'll still have to rest it and limit my exercise for at least a week probably. The whole thing was fairly draining emotionally, and I…

Merry the rest of your life time...you are NOT alone~you're a success story because
You are trying or at the very least "thinking" about trying to get down to size or at the very least a bit more healthy. Not everyone observes the "holidays" ( I don't) and to those of you that do and believe you are alone and no one cares, it's NOT true---I'm posting this thread with YOU in mind. For those of you who…
