From Severely Obese to Ideal Weight

Spiderkeys

Ok, I didn't want to get ahead of myself and did plan of posting when I reached my goal weight of 75kg (165lb), but my weight loss has stalled at 78.8kg, and I just can't wait any longer!

Quick Summary: I wasn't fat all my life, it was just in my 30s that I just blew up like a balloon, I didn't think any diet was possible, I thought my weight was just a part of me getting older, I had problems everyday from sleeping to walking, my feet suffered a lot, having to hold up all that weight, had high blood pressure, I had many health problems, and was at a high risk of diabetes, When I moved house, I had access to a scale and stepped on it for the first time, I was 122kg (268 Pounds), I officially started ldieting in August when I learn't how to count calories and found MFP, there. I was worried about turning 40 years old in only a few months, I was in no shape to be getting older. One month ago I turned 40, at a pleasant 83kg (182lb).

Today I'm at a even better weight of 78.8kg (173kg), life is so much better, I weight less than I've ever had in my adult like, I can work longer, I'm got much more energy, and now plan traveling with my self-esteem back.


I hope what I share here encourages other people to keep going, and you'll eventually get there in the end.

And one of the best things of being thinner, I got a huge new range of clothes I can wear!

I agree, I bet you look way skinnier in clothes that aren't so loose. Treat yourself to a nice vertical stripe button down!!
