    Since last June I've lost 118.8 pounds - without surgery.

    I turned 40 last year
    I am an ex-smoker
    I have had a hysterectomy
    I have limited mobility/function in my left leg and right arm from past injuries

    A lot of reasons that people (including my past self) say they can't lose weight.

    But I've done it. And I'm NEVER going back there - EVER

    You're not alone. Together, we got this!

    I'm more than half way to losing 100 pounds WITHOUT surgery. It has been hard work and every day has been worth it! I've learned a lot about nutrition, what are my eating triggers and how to reward myself for making the right choices to get myself healthier every day. You can do it too! There's a lot of support here but it has to start and end with you. :flowerforyou:

    Slainte!

    I've lost just about 80 through counting calories and tons and tons of exercise. It has taken me 13 months and I have about 25 more to go! My husband had weight loss surgery a few years ago, and has done amazing!!!

    I have been at it for about 15 months. My daughter introduced me to MFP in the summer (39 pounds in). My family, although supportive, tease me about how I enter every calorie but I find it helps. I passed my first goal at Christmas (100 pounds), and I am closing in on my second goal (150 pounds). Two or three weigh-ins away I think. It does get easier as time goes by. I have truly changed my eating habits. Good luck and stick with it, one day at a time.

    I have recently been thinking of surgery. I even went to a weight loss surgical center last week. My best friend invited me on my fitness pal, so here I am.

    I am very imspired because of reading everyone elses stories. All of you have influenced me to believe I can do this. Thank you, all of you for sharing your stories.

    My Doctor tried to talk me into bypass surgery and was really miffed at me when I said no. I weighed 387 pounds and decided it was just to dangerous for me. I weigh 265 pounds now and and I am losing it slowly. It can be done. Bypass surgery is a personal decision and it is great for some. Good luck and hope you do well. Portion control is what has helped me the most.

    Me! Trust me, you've got this! Just remember you will make mistakes and it wont be perfect. This is life, not a diet When you slip up, pick yourself up and remember how far you have come.

    Misalayne......I'm glad you decided to try this way first. I find it really helpful to do a search in the forums for people that have lost 100+ pounds and read their stories, see their before/after pics. They're really a wonderful inspiration. I'm in this for the long haul and one of these times will be my last 'day one' - lol.

    132 LB without surgery. I think having weight loss surgery is a cop-out. Hard work and dedication will lose the weight.

    I have 10 more pounds to go to hit 100, and I did it without surgery and have been 200lbs+ since I was about 18.

    260 this time last summer.

    You can do it. You just need to want to be healthy and log your meals daily. Make it a habit and it will do wonders for you.
