Any motivating others success stories?

Hey Everybody!

I am just starting my weight loss journey again, but all of my close friends are at least talking about loosing weight and getting healthy too.

Does anybody have any success stories about motivating others to start their journey or stories of success in loosing weight/getting healthy WITH a loved one?

  • When I was 17 years old, I weighed about 170 lbs. I wound up dropping to 138 (in a not so healthy way; post breakup stress = lack of eating) then went back up to 151. Then I started working out a lot, and hardcore calorie counting, and I was able to get down to 115 pounds. I felt awesome, but then I met a nice man, and got happy, so I started gaining weight again. Now I am here! =D

    Hi there.... I started on my journey about 18 months ago, and my niece saw the changes I was making, the weight I loss and how healthy I was getting and decided to start her weightloss and healthy lifestyle, together we started sharing our sucesses, worries and frustrations, but we also supported each other it was great.... then her sucesses got her friends to look at their weight and join in as well....

    I caught my boyfriend eating an apple the other day :-) When I smiled he said "Whut? Guess your healthy eating is rubbing off on me" Doesn't sound like much, but it's a big deal for me, hahah.

    I had to lose weight due to health issues, i was told i would die young since my lab tests were so terrible.
    I lost 90 lbs already,and this inspired my husband to lose some weight as well. He wants to keep going and reach a normal range weight. He's doing lots of progress! And i enjoy seeing his NSVs every month. :)
