I've lost 121 lbs in the past 21 months. I remember the day I started and found mfp, reading through these success stories I was very motivated and inspired. I so badly wanted to be one myself! I am still working on the last 20 lbs. My progress:

I've lost 115 pounds, would like to lose another 15 or so but this weight has been comfortable and easy to maintain so who knows.

For me I just decided I had to do something and started out by simply cutting out the chocs etc and making better choices with my food. Logging and using MFP was essential for me to keep on track as I had obviously lost track of what I 'should' be eating. I approached it one day at a time from the start.

My motivation... my 7 year old lad! It's great to be able to set a good example to him (hopefully) and I just love how much more active we've become. That has been worth every single second of working out and each and every chocolate foregone!!

I'm down 100 pounds now, aiming at another 40 to 50 before I'm done:



As for motivation for it: I'm simply vain. I like the way I look now, and I like how much easier it is to buy cute clothes. I also feel less self-conscious in public; one of my favorite quotes in the body-positive community is something along the lines, "A fat person's worst crime is taking up space," and I absolutely felt self-conscious about the way people treated me for being a fat person. Feeling less self-conscious has been better for me overall, significantly moreso than any other possible physical health changes.

I've lost 105lbs so far in 12 months, and I've got roughly 25-30lbs more to go.

I still have another 100 or so to go, but I am over 100 pounds down so far! Started at 372 at 5' 8", now down to 264-269 in the past week. (Thanksgiving set me back a bit, but I am on track again!) You can read my blog at notafraidofstripes.blogspot.com/

Thanks so much! You'll get there, too. I'm excited for the next 100 – will see an even bigger difference. I have to be patient.

I started by logging my food for a couple weeks. Then when I got the hang of that I bought a food scale, and started weighing everything for accuracy. Then I bought a Fitbit and started to really understand the calories in vs out process. I read the forums everyday to try and learn as much about nutrition as I could and find recipes. That helped a lot.

I stayed motivated by taking progress photos every 10lbs lost and seeing the differences. By reading the success stories here on mfp everyday and knowing that someday I would get to write my own story!

@MsSquatAlot - I'm guessing by your name that weight lifting was involved? Did you do extra ab work or is that awesome flatness you've achieved from the general routine? Really impressive.

Not at goal yet, but getting closer. 1st pic is at 277 lbs. in July 2014.




This one at about 160 or so. I'm at 154 now, with original goal at 150, but am probably going to go lower, likely somewhere between 135-150. I'm 56 years old and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2014, so post-menopausal hypothyroid women CAN lose weight.
