sweetcherae

Hello! First I would like to say I find success story photos so helpful, and inspirational! I am curious to know how soon you saw a difference. I am currently on my journey of losing 50lbs. So far I'm down 15lbs in 3 weeks

I saw a difference within a few months, but I started out morbidly obese.

Nice work losing that first 15!

I've been eating around 1200 cals and riding my exercise bike 30-60min 5-6 days per week. Thinking about taking a shot at 30 day Shred. Started mid feb 2017.

Hi! I'm 5'2" and started both my new health journey and fitness pal on 3/12/17. I've tried to stay within 1400 calories per day with light exercise since I have kids and work long hours. I started out at 220lbs at a size 20 pant. I don't consume as much water as I'd like but I'm trying to at least have 65oz a day (but aiming for 100oz). Today is the 49th day and I'm at 194.4lbs which is almost 26lbs so far. It's hard as hell but the change in my pant size continues to drive me forward. I'm now a size 14 in pants and I'm aiming to get to a 12 or maybe a 10 (oh how i wish). I've just been walking at least 3 miles a day about 4x a week at a 3.5+ pace. Now I'm implementing other exercises for my upper arms and my thighs, abdomen and butt I look forward to hearing more about your progress! Keep up the great work!!

I have a timeline if youd like to see send me a message, I dont feel its appropriate for forums people seem sensitive here to bra and panty shots even though you see it at the beach. lol

Out of curiosity, why 1400? What did mfp set you up for net cals? It seems low.

Hi there! I'm 5 feet tall. I started at 185 and the weight loss became noticeable to other people when I lost 17 lbs. Good luck!

Ultimate Goal? 103, I guess ...

As for noticing a difference ... For me, it took a long time. I was wearing the same pants until the 150s. I noticed smaller wrists, collar bones sticking out, ankle bones, slimmer shoulders. But starting around the 150s, a small drop in weight started making a huge difference. Just recently I have been able to exercise: I lift weights (upper body only as I have leg injuries) twice a week, and I use a ski machine (slowly) for a total of 100 minutes a week. That's making a big difference in weight loss. Last week I weighed 114.8; yesterday I weighed 112.8 -- five people yesterday remarked on my loss, and I see them every Saturday.

Good luck!

I was very overweight, so it took a while before I or anyone else noticed a physical or visual difference, probably about 40 pounds. However, once I got the right method going, I knew I had the problem finally beaten. I was overweight and obese from age 7 to age 33 and yo-yoed many times with dieting schemes. In 1985, my training in psychotherapy together with what I learned through experience led me to be able to apply effective behavior therapy. I finally lost 140 pounds in 1985 and have maintained 180, within 10 pounds, since. Within a month of beginning this newest approach, I knew I would never have the problem again. My new addiction was better than the old one.

I have lost a little over 20lbs, people started noticing around 15lbs, but with each lb lost more and more people have started noticing. I think part of the issue is I tend to wear loser fitting clothes anyway, so the weight loss isn't as noticeable.

I started my weight loss journey in June 2014 at the age of 55. I didn't notice any progress until I started taking pics 3 months later. My weight went from 166 lbs. to 113 in about 2 years. I became a powerlifter and started bulking in November. I was on a 1200 calorie diet for 18 months (would never recommend it now) and I'm currently on a 2000 calorie diet.
