Hi ! I just found this thread.
My one year is coming up so I'm going to post my stats from 2017 now..... then the one year stats next month.
Here are my stats:
Age: 58
Height: 5'4"
Starting weight: April 10, 2017 288.0 Lbs
Goal Weight: 160 Lbs
Weight to lose: 128.0 Lbs
Clothes size:
3XL 240 -
Hello everyone!
Time for my brutally honest update...
So I've been preoccupied since the beginning of the year with some work/family issues and I've unintentionally let my health suffer because of it. I didn't binge or return to negative thought dialogue, but I stopped really paying attention and make time to take care of myself. I just went back and read all of my posts from the beginning of this thread. It's crazy that it took me 5 months to lose 15 lbs and only 3 months to put on 23 lbs!
I'm now at the highest weight I've ever been in my life. 207.2.
I've not bothered to measure. I don't want to know... but I DO want to make a positive and permanent change.
My New Years Resolutions this year where to: Get healthy, Get Active, and (most of all) Stay POSITIVE!!! And to spend lots of time with family. I'd also set forth a new goal for myself... I want to fit into a certain dress for a wedding that's happening in September of this year.
I stopped logging food and I stopped weighing daily because I was becoming obsessive and letting calorie counts ruin my day, and then everything in my life went sideways and I completely stopped keeping track of what I put in my mouth all together.
Right now I weigh once a week (Saturdays) and on the first of every month. I'm being active (at least 30 minutes a day of planned exercise) and watching portion sizes.
I'm going to start logging again, but more as a way to be mindful of the amount of food I'm consuming. I'm going to try not to obsess about numbers right now.
I hope you all are doing well! *hugs*!

I've been slacking in losing weight since December. I'm going to get back at it. Especially considering my 1 year for weight loss is coming up next month. I want to be down 10 lbs by summer, and I'm hoping I will continue to count calories and exercise so I am where I want to be. Hoping everyone has a happy easter!1 -
Wow here I am starting my one year transformation.... I'm happy taking this decision. Today another thing happened in my life. My partner didn't introduce me to his friends although I was right there. Whereas he introduced his buddies to all the other people around there....he says he forgot... so y didn't he introduce them to me even after I asking him...
That was very depressing. I now feel it's high time I shed this weight and show everyone that im worth attention.
I don't wanna face this situation again in my life.
Start date April 1st 2018
Present weight 211lbs1 -
Thanks so much for sharing and joining @Reanna143 and @CharlieS96 !!!
The more the merrier!
@Reanna143 I'm so sorry to hear about that terrible experience. I hope your partner understands how that hurt you and that nothing similar will ever happen again (no matter what weight you are!).
As I've said before, this is a safe place of encouragement. We've all got our own battles and goals and we're in this together!
I wanted to give a special congratulations to @AccountableAmber and @CharlieS96 for your amazing progress! Keep up the great work!
For myself... I've been very sick with the flu for the past 10 days. I'm getting over it now and am excited to get back to being more physically active. I went for a 1 hour walk today with my husband and it felt great!
Happy Monday everyone!2 -

Hello everyone!
Just a check in to say that I’ve finally said “enough is enough” and gotten a personal heath coach. I’m finally feeling well enough to commit to something and the past dramas have been worked out, so this is it! My final do-over.
I was weighed and measured last Thursday (May 10th) and then again today (I’ve not looked at the scale in between).
My coach has a body fat scale and the numbers are as follows:
Weight: 210.4 Lbs
Body fat: 46.6%
Muscle: 32.4%
Water: 32.1%
May 17:
Weight: 205.4 Lbs
Body fat: 45.1%
Muscle: 32.8%
Water: 33.4%
Numbers are all going in the right direction!! I’m feeling great!0 -
I’ve survived week 2!
Here are the results so far:
Starting numbers: May 10
Weight: 210.4 Lbs
Body fat: 46.6%
Muscle: 32.4%
Water: 32.1%
Bone: 4 Lbs
Today: May 24:
Weight: 202.2 Lbs
Body fat: 43.9%
Muscle: 33%
Water: 34.5%
Bone: 4.2 Lbs
I’m feeling good! All the numbers are continuing to move in the right direction!
I’ve also done away with a bunch of social media sites which where affecting my mood and eating away at my free time. I feel sooooo good! I’m doing my best to cut negativity from my life and think positively and get back to being my bubbly happy self!0 -
Hello everyone!
I know it’s been a while, so I’m checking in to share good news with you!
My 1 year is up since starting this chat (I really cannot believe it! It’s gone so fast!!!). I’m not at my ultimate goal yet, but I’ve learned a lot through trial and error and overall my heath and quality of life has dramatically improved!
My most recent numbers:
Weight: 187.2 Lbs
Body Fat: 35.4%
Muscle: 34.6%
Water: 45.5%
I’ve lost a total of 22.5 inches from head to toe and I can’t believe the changes I’m seeing already!
I’ve got 6 weeks until our friends’ wedding and then another 7 weeks until my real goal day (when I will finally try on that dress!!!). I’m feeling confident that wearing that dress is an obtainable goal, but I will keep updating here until my ultimate goal of 145lbs is achieved! (Even if that takes another year!)
I hope you all are well!1 -

My goal weight is 1400 -

Hi Everyone,
It’s been a very long time since I posted on here, I think since January. I had a really rough winter getting cold after cold and then hit with a flu in January. I went off my diet during that last flu and have had such a hard time getting back on.
I’m approaching my one year (Aug 7) without much in the way of results. I’m down about 10lbs from my starting weight but have gained about 10lbs since December.
August 7, 2017
SW: 214
GW: 135
Height: 5’4”
September 26, 2017
CW: 201
Waist: 39
Hips: 44
Arms: 14
Thighs: 26
July 28, 2018
CW: 204.5
Waist: 41
Hips: 45
Arms: 14
Thighs: 26
One positive difference this last year is that I have continually gone back on my diet so it will be a week or two on then a week or two off. This is different than in the past where I would try a diet go off and not try anything again for a long time. This is likely what has prevented me from gaining much more than I did over the last 6 months.
I’m recommitting to my goals for another year and this year I’m going to try to add in the habit of continuing to track my foods and weekly weigh ins even when I’m off diet. I never do either of these when I go off and because of that I end up eating worse and worse until it’s out of control and I feel like cr@p.
@princessaly23 great job on getting back on track and starting to see some progress
@AccountableAmber congratulations on your progress. You can see such a difference in your photos. You look fantastic.
Sorry for such a long post. Happy to be back!

Great job on your progress!!! I’m so happy for you.
@lady_bug_jd It’s so great that you checked in! I’m inspired by your commitment to health! I look forward to seeing your results in the months to come!
I realized today that it’s been a really long time since I checked in on here! My final weigh-in before my 1st big goal will be this Wednesday, but as of last week, I’m down to 186.4 which is a 24 Lb loss since May 9th!!! I was wanting to see 189 before the wedding I’m attending on Sept 1st so I’ve already beat that goal! My weight loss has slowed down (I.e. not moved) for the past 3 weeks, but I’m not worried, I know it will start moving again soon.
I’m feeling confident enough to commit to my next goal: 179 before or on Oct 19th. (My 3rd wedding anniversary!!) and finally 169 before New Years Eve. My ultimate goal is 145, whenever that happens.
