45 days, 23 pounds, and actually under 300 pounds since 2010!

dradams116

I just wanted to share for those bigger people who are losing motivation. I started on January 1 as a New Years resolution. I log everything I eat, stay under my calorie goal, and try to walk every day. Every Sunday is my weigh-in day and today, the scale showed 297. According to my medical record, I weighed 299 in 2010. Finally getting under 300 after 5 years is a huge, personal achievement, but it's also 1 of many goals I have for this year. When I start losing motivation and think I can't do it, I come on here, read other people's accomplishments, and get a renewed sense of "Yes i can!". My hope is that this post will motivate other people like posts have motivated me. If I can do it, you can do it too. Together, we can and will achieve our goals. We are all in the same boat. Feel free to add me as a friend.




Top weight: 336 lbs
Starting weight: 320 lbs
Current weight: 297 lbs
Goal weight: 220 lbs

Keep up the great work! Can you share your specifics. How many calories a day are you eating? Are you exercising? Do you eat back those calories?

Thanks!
