Yes, I have lost 80 lbs. No, my loss wasn't a straight line! It is easy to see the pounds lost on some profiles and think that person is far more dedicated than you could ever be. Instead, look at the journey! 5 years, crazy line that looks like an EKG, 80 lbs gone, perfection not required, but determination is eventually rewarded! I challenge others to post their progress chart and give an explanation!

    PS...you can take a screen shot and post pics using the mobile app now! Even if it is a small loss, it could help someone in the same situation!

    Yes! Lap band, but as most WLS does, the loss was short lived until I actually changed my eating habits, became more aware of macros, and started being more active! I wear a fitness tracker every day and MUST get 10000 steps in daily.

    You've both done great!

    Are you using the iPhone app? The Android app's progress chart only goes back 3 months as far as I know.

    Yes, iPhone allows you select "All"



    Here's mine. Started 168lbs in March 2013, got down to 138lbs by July with eating SUPER low calorie and not eating any of my exercise calories back. Stopped in August 2013 and tracked crappily for a good year and a half

    THEN basically gained it all back, realized what I did wrong, and having been ACTIVELY focusing on doing it the right way (and not just maintaining and drinking my face off) since February!

    ETA: I have 17.1lbs to go to reach my goal of 140lbs :)

    Thanks! I'm using the iPad app, and it lets you choose different periods of time including "all".

    You guys are amazing! Keep the downward slant going. I just think back about the effort to lose the 50 lbs that I gained and I could be under 200!! Way to go all!

    aww thank you! I typically eat the same things everyday so my diary is pretty boring lol. No specific foods, I track everything weigh my food, and keep my sodium low that's about it. I do my best to hit my macros but calories always take priority. I usually have a cheat day once per week where I eat at maintenance. Works for me!

    I am with you on a "modified diet". Too much too soon causes me to give up, cheat, throw it out the window, and eat copious amounts of ice cream! The constant downward slope is just right!
