Started exactly 348 days ago at 320lbs. I'm somewhere in the 220's today. I walk a lot and log every calorie. Not exactly a success story yet, but I have a feeling in another year I will be.

Pardon me lady....NOT exactly a success story??? You've lost 100 lbs in a year....explain to me how that isn't absolutely killing it?!?! You should be proud, and you look fantastic. Live that success!!

THIS. Own it. You worked hard for that!! It's very impressive and didn't happen without a lot of hard work.

I haven’t been on the success stories for aaaages and this is the first thread I open and Omge all of you guys left me shocked! You all are doing terrific! You get mad respect even if you feel you are not there yet! Please please keep trying as you are sooo inspiring most people would feel its pretty pointless to even try but you guys give all of us, no matter what our goals are, a ton of hope and crazy motivation.

Love this thread. Such inspiration. How many calories were you allowing yourself and what did you do to feel full? Right now I'm sitting around 2k and still feeling some hunger pangs (could be the Christmas goodie season though...)

I always hang this up to remind myself of before. I still have some to go but a work in progress. At 53 years young- I can do it!

What worked for me was eating frequently. I always eat when I'm hungry - I just make better choices. I knew I wouldn't get far if I was hungry all the time. I'm the lady at work with two lunch boxes full of snacks

BTW my calorie allotment was around 1650-1900 throughout my journey since it changed as I lost weight. As mentioned above, I am 6'1". I started MFP set to sedentary and 2lbs loss/week. Now I have it set to lightly active and 1.5 lbs/week and my cal goal is 1820. I say find what works for you. I realized I didn't like trying to eat less than 1700 calories, so I didn't. I feel for you shorter ladies trying to eat 1200 calories. Mad respect.

I started at 328. Now I am 200 believe it or not. Currently working on losing my last 60 pounds. I’m very active, working out 6 days per week. I actively lift weights and do some cardio with the goal of eventually entering a fitness competition.

Started at 301 pounds on January 19th, 2017. I am now in the 190s. I don't know my exact weight, haven't stepped on the scale in a while. So about 11 months? I workout (walking, dancing) and just count my calories

How many calories do you intake a day? Also, what workout routines are you following?

November 2017 at 155lbs:


In the first year I lost 120lbs. It took all of the second year to lose 10 more. I'm hoping to lose another 10 next year and then hold steady.

I started with 1750 calories and today probably average around 1150. I eat lots of protein, fat and fiber and try to limit my refined sugar content. Eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt and all the veggies comprise the majority of my diet. To say I've lost any weight via exercise really would be a lie -- you can't outrun a bad diet, and I don't run at all.

Me on the 30th August 2015.
142kg (313pounds)


Me now at 92kg (202pounds).

I still have another 12 kilos (27pounds) to lose.
This journey will take as long as it takes.

I have eaten a Vegetarian diet.
No exercise, but I do try and keep active at home.
Meal planning and prepping have been s huge reason I have succeeded.
I have grown so much in my understanding of nutrition, my attitude and behaviour towards food and forgiving myself earn I have a bad day.

This journey is for a lifetime.
A MARATHON.
NOT A SPRINT!!
