edited November 2024 in Success Stories
Hey everyone, I am still in the middle of my journey, but I've been really enjoying everyone's success stories so I thought I'd add my own since I reached sort of a milestone recently.

Seven years ago I weighed around 280-290 pounds. I started exercising and somehow managed to lose 30 pounds, but since I never really committed to it I gained about 10 of it back. About 8 months ago I started to get serious about this, exercising a ton and really paying attention to what I was eating. I have since lost another 50 pounds and am now signed up to do a triathlon! I cannot believe the transformation I have made and am so excited to see what's to come for me as I keep losing weight and getting fitter. Anyway, on to the pictures:

Around 280-290:

Now, right around 215, but tomorrow is my weigh in day:

Thank you everyone for being an inspiration and helping me to keep going! I always like new friends, too, if anyone's interested :)
