    edited December 2024 in Success Stories
    I started this on 09/23/2012 at 380 pounds, that was my real start, I started roughly, I restricted way to far down on week days (1200 a day) and way under restricted on the weekends (eating between 2-4 thousand calories a day) In March I started on Myfitnesspal I was at 340. I am now 280 pounds. I still have roughly 130 pounds to go, but this was a huge milestone and I wanted to share with everyone

    (I may have to edit the pictures)
    This was actually taken in January of 2011 but I really didn't change any up until September when I actually started. This is also the only photo in existence of me this big. I will not delete it because I now know what i Never want to be again.

    This one is kinda facebooky, but I liked it.

    Any way I've come a long way, I've walked to work most everyday since September, I started out walking that mile in an hour and a half, and today I made it in 22 minutes and 7 seconds. So yup, thats my bragging

      Your story about shortening your walk to work brought tears to my eyes. Now that's determination, dedication, and success! You have made incredible progress!

      That's a huge accomplishment! I can relate because I started at 366. It takes me anywhere from 22-30 minutes to do my mile, and that's with me on the treadmill, literally dying. Outside, it's even slower because I wouldn't really have the courage to run as fast outside.

      You're a huge inspiration for me right now, I can't wait to be down to that weight aswell! Congratulations :O

      Thank you so much *hugs* I have a hard time walking fast outside to, its hard knowing that people will be judging you, and as much as I want to say they won't, people always will. But you know what, you are the only person that counts, because you are making yourself better. I did try running for a bit, but I just didn't like it much, I like walking better, although that could change ^.^ Just gotta roll with it

      You are awesome!! And I would bet that no one is judging you. If someone is watching you, it is out of admiration of your hardwork and determination. Don't sell yourself short!

      Wow, that is awesome. You look great and you are an inspiration. I started this journey on Sept 9th, 2012. So just a few weeks into it. And I started out at 257. I want to lose 100 lbs. So what did you do? Just watch calories and walk? Do you just walk a mile, or more, ???? I am just needing help on where to start. I have lost 4 lbs and don't know if that's a good start or not.
