I can’t believe how quickly the last 9 months have gone.

I’ve lost 46.5 lbs and my BMI has gone from 29.7 to 21.9.

Only 0.7lbs to goal which is now so achievable.

I have a really hard time accepting how my body has changed, every time I look in the mirror I’m so surprised, I didn’t even recognize myself when I went passed a mirror in a shop and thought someone else was wearing the same clothes 😂.

Next worry will be how to maintain and not slip into bad habits and maybe attempt a recomp to drop a little bit more fat.

Any tips would be appreciated!

    Dress fits perfectly. I bought a dress 4 sizes too small intentionally in January and that’s been my motivation to never give up!

    Congratulations! Huge amount of dedication right there!

    Congrats.

    Everyone that I know that maintains successfully is diligent. You can choose a maintenance system and then change it as many times as you need as far as eating but you should always keep an eye on your weight. If you have a little gain you should return to a deficit. If you used the scale to lose weight continue to use it to maintain.

    Congratulations on both your wedding and weight loss! I have been maintaining my loss for one year and I'm finally starting to see myself as thin. It's a huge change and a lot to get used to. Just yesterday I picked up a pair of jeans and thought "those are so tiny, they'd never fit me!" And of course, they fit like a glove. Myfitnesspal has a maintenance forum and I find that really helpful to stay on track. Happy marriage and maintenance to you!
