in Health and Weight Loss

I haven't used this app in a few years. Been losing and gaining weight for many years. I'm putting it all out there because I'm sure someone else may be going through the same thing or similar and this app will be my motivation to follow through with my goal. In 2022 I weighed 290 lbs. That's the most I've EVER weighed in my life and I felt horrible, bloated, disliked myself, didn't want to be in public places or even family gatherings. Some friends, family and I started a "diet" zoom group in August of that year. It was great starting off, we motivated eachother, shared what was working and not working for each of us. I was losing weight, exercising and feeling good. Then the holidays happened and I gained some of my weight back as did some of the others. It was frustrating. Then our group starting falling apart because everyone had the same issue and we just quit all together. Fast forward to 2024…I got really serious about getting healthy and losing weight. My starting weight was 290, I'm now 244. That's 46 lbs GONE and it's NOT coming back! I am extatic right now over my loss and its not the number on the scale that makes me feel that way. I've never been one to shop for clothes, I hate shopping. But my clothes are so lose I had no choice but to get new ones. And to tell you I was over joyed and emotional when I found out I now wear an XL shirt when I was in a 3X is an understatement. I'm down 2 pant sizes too! My goal is to get down to 170 lbs ultimately. I plan on sharing every step of the way, my progress, wins, gains, frustration, all of it. I love reading everyone's posts, we're all reaching for a goal and we'll reach that goal. Gotta stay positive. Until next time…
