Question: Over 300 lbs and loss with no surgery???

stryfe101

VERY possible...I started at around 350 (mfp estimated 340 at the time) pounds in October....now I'm solidly in the 290's though I've leveled off in the loss department. So far I've done this JUST by eating better/a lot less. I'd do some exercise in the form of work around the house, but like I said, thus far I've done it by eating less/better.

This week starts leg 2 of my journey to 250 or less pounds.....I add in the elliptical machine, and when I get tax money, I'm going to go with a personal trainer to really whip my *kitten* into shape..lol

it may seem daunting at first but set a mini goal...mine was to get under 300 before Christmas and I did it...now I've half way to my big goal

I started at almost 350, and am now around 225-ish (waiting to weigh in until Sunday). No pills, no surgery, no supplements except for a multi vitamin when I remember, no "diet" food for the most part.

Eat less, move more.

Eat less, move more. That's my plan too!

500lbs2marathon - look him up. He is AMAZING!

ETA - I was just under 300 pounds at my heaviest (294) but, as you can see, I did it. No surgery, no special diets. Just ate nutritious, well-balanced meals in sensible portions, drank plenty of water, and got my body moving.

see, and i was going to point her to YOU!

it's totally possible to do. i'm doing it now. my starting weight was 387. scared the hell out of me. and now i count calories and i work out. i log on here EVERY day. and i'm getting the hang of it.

i'm finding that the key is to find a workout that you LIKE to do. me? i love to hike. go once a week to a park or a trail and just hike. i think it's FUN so it doesn't feel like a workout.
