50 lbs lost in 89 days (halfway to goal..pics)

Sbehlmer

I would like to share that as of today I've lost 50 pounds in less than 90 days (I am officially halfway to goal..whoohooo!!).....The feeling I'm feeling right now is mixed, I'm completely proud of myself for all the hard work I've done & losing 50 pounds, which I never thought I would have done, but with all the support & motivation from my friends here at MFP I was able to do it..it's also a very tearful moment for me as I always thought I'd be heavy all my life..that I was just "big boned" & I'd have to deal with that....but I'm not...I have done it, & will continue to do it so that I'll lose the remaining 50 pounds I want to until I hit goal

Off to buy me something special as a reward today...so many things in mind (lol)


BEFORE (89 days days ago & 50 pounds heavier) :sad:



AFTER (89 days later & 50 pounds lighter) :happy: :drinker:

this is awesome and you look great. i've been here about 107 days or so and only lost 20 lbs.. can you share your story on how you lost?

kfdowley

omg you look great! What exercise have you been doing? This is just, wow!

Sbehlmer

Thank you so much!!!!

I've been on a ton of "fad" diets...lose a few pounds, then gain a bunch back..never seemed to work (or I was never committed enough to make them work).....the time came where I decided enough is enough...I'm doing it just by logging every single bite I eat (keeping my calories between 1200-1600 daily..I vary them so my body doesn't get used to a particular calorie intake)..and I exercise on a daily basis (power walking...running in place....weights....crunches...etc)....

Wishing you all the best in your journey...We Can Do It!!!
