My 2 year mfp anniversary! 130lbs lost, morbidly obese to healthy. PICS!

ElvenToad · February 2016

Tomorrow will be my official 2 year anniversary here. Feb 28th 2014 I weighed in at 268lbs at 5'4, size 22. I've posted my success story before, once when I hit Onderland at 69lbs down, and another when I hit that big 100lbs lost club. I feel I owe it to myself to mark these 2 new milestones on my journey with another post. 2 years of logging everyday, and 130lbs lost. That's something to be proud of and I am!

Without going into my entire life's story I just want to share that I was morbidly obese for 20+ years, I'm 33 now. So this is all brand new to me, being at a healthy weight. Calories in vs calories out, food scale, Fitbit, its amazing. Anyway, today I weighed in at 138lbs, and I wear a size 4. I'm in the home stretch, working on those last 8-10lbs now to my goal weight. I feel like a new person, I found confidence in myself that I never had before. I feel amazing, I have more energy, I actually care about myself now. All good things and I look forward to maintenance! I will continue to log here and monitor my intake, get in my daily exercise. I will also continue to read the success stories here every single morning with my coffee! Its just so inspiring to see everyone taking control of their health

I made this at 100lbs down, and its cool to see how the weight comes off so even though its outdated now by 30lbs, I still wanted to include it.

Woot woot! Way to go! I'm also approaching my two year anniversary here. Not quite as successful as you've been, but in it for the long haul.
You're doing everything the right way, I wish you continued progress and then successful maintenance. With what you've accomplished so far, I've no doubt you'll be one of the ones who keep it off. Good job!

Thank you! Yes that is my goal, learning how to maintain and keep the weight off! I am 100% confident in my ability to do that with all that I have learned over the past two years. I have had bad days, and made mistakes but I never let them derail me and I think that is a huge key part of being successful
