Found an old photo of me at my heaviest. I carried a lot of the excess weight around my middle and completely lost my waist, not to mention my posture was terrible. Those gray pants were a size 18 and I was already well on my way to a size 20. My health was spiraling downwards fast. It would be another year and a half until I finally got my act together and got back to a healthy weight and started exercising regularly for the first time in my sedentary life. 43 pounds later my pants are size 10, my obesity related health issues have been reversed, exercise improved my posture and I got my waist back! It’s a good reminder of what I will not allow myself to go back to. The biggest difference is in how I feel, I used to feel tired all the time, run down, had chronic pain, no energy or drive. Now I know what my body is capable of and enjoy challenging myself and have the energy to do anything I want all the time, no more chronic aches and pains, I feel like I’m being the best version of myself I can possibly be and it’s been an amazing journey! Go out there and reach for those goalzzzz you can accomplish them if you are persistent and keep your eyes on the prize!
Stats:
Height 5’11” Age 45
Starting weight 209 lbs
Current weight 167 lbs

Just wanted to say congratulations to everyone that has ever posted here, and thank you as well. I've looked through these success stories for a long time and they're all very inspirational. Although I'm not finished yet I felt like sharing mine so far.
Im 6' and started out at 350 lbs, I was wearing a size 4x-5x shirts and my pants around a 54
Im currently down to 208 lbs but need to drop more fat and build more muscle. Im wearing an xl shirt and im not positive on shorts (my fishing shorts I wear are 38 but stretchy waist and a little too big, I don't like buying clothes lol)
Seeing all these posts gave me hope and helped me realize what I was capable of.
Hope everyone has a great day and continue all the hard work you're putting in!

8 years ago I had brain surgery. It changed my life to focus on a healthy lifestyle to help keep the neck pain away.

Hit goal at the end of July.

234.2(08/2019) ->164.6
Went from a size 18 to an 8!
After 2 babies in 3 years and being well over 200lbs the entire time I thought I would never be this small again.

Finally finishing my diet/cut. I started my diet and weight training one year ago and seems like i got where i wanted to get. I also started to eat way more healthy than before and dropped many bad habits on the way too.

It feels good to finally reach this goal as this dieting started having effects like i was hungry and though about food all the time, my energy levels were low, my mood was crappy and few other things.

I was in ~500 calorie deficit most of the time, had 5 workouts per week and did little bit of light cardio at the end too and lost about 0.3-1kg (0.7-2.2lbs) per week. At the end i added refeed days once per week, which were helpful. I also noticed that i stopped or at least majorly slowed down progressing and gaining strength/size in last five months. My "old" age could also be an factor though :]

Tomorrow i will start reverse diet to get to my maintenance calories and drop most of the cardio out too. Then i can fully concentrate on my strength workouts and also get better results too. I gained much experience related to health/nutrition/eating in this journey and thankfully dropped many bad habits on the way too!

And sorry about my English, it's not my first language.

Timeframe: About one year
Weight from 105kg (231lbs) to 62kg (137lbs)
Height: 183cm (6foot)
Age: 42

Really impressed with the dedication! Good job!
