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.0

132 LB without surgery. I think having weight loss surgery is a cop-out. Hard work and dedication will lose the weight.0

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.
Great job, very proud of you! Your positive attitude is wonderful :flowerforyou:

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.0 -
My first goal is approx 80-90pounds (around 40kgs) I'm only part way there, even though I have been working out at the gym for over 12 months. I had not been changing my diet, which caused the weight to very slowly come off. If I'd have changed my diet 16 months ago, I'd probably be at my goal weight now... anyway, I'm still plugging away and have made lots of positive changes to my diet and upped my exercise too and I'm now starting to see the sorts of results I was expecting!
Anything is achieveable if you really want it! All you have to do is put the effort in. I had not even considered surgery, I put this weight on by myself, I can take it off myself!
Happy exercising!0 -
It is very possible for you to loose the wight. When I started on my program I thought that I had to do the typical exercises, however being on here I learned other wise. So I started doing the things I loved most like dancing playing with my nieces and nephew. I also cooked cleaned and did other everyday things. Learning that just by doing regular everyday activities would burn calories gave all the more reason to do the work. I also learned what foods burned more fat then others. I still eat what I want just in smaller amounts. By me doing all these things I have lost a total of 100lbs in the last 6 months. I feel great I haven't felt this good in years.0

I have 14 more to go without surgery. I have a lot more to go probably another 100 so this is big for me0

I am in the gym 7 days a week and I watch what I eat. I am doing it the old fashioned way. Alot of hard work, sweat and even a few tears. So far so good as I am down 106 pounds. By the way it has taken me about a year to lose it.0

As of this morning, I have lost 100 pounds by just diet change and good old fashioned exercise!0

You got this. :glasses:0

You must feel like a million wonderful bucks! Congrats!0

Meeeeeee!!!
I lost the first 82 about 10 years ago, and have maintained.
Decided a few months ago that I would attempt to get to my original goal weight.
It's been a slow process, but I finally hit that 100 pound mark about 2 weeks ago!!!
I have 21 pounds to go to my goal weight. Wish me luck!!!0 -
Me too! It's totally doable.0

wish you the best of luck!0

Hi :happy: This would be me. I lost my weight without surgery, without special programs, all natural, ate healthy and exercised. I lost 100 pounds 9 months in and then reached 110 lost on my 1 year mark. I'm working harder than every to lose the last 10 pounds to reach my ultimate goal. Anyone is welcome to add me.0

Lost it and have kept off over 110+ lbs for about 4 years now!! I teeter with 10 lbs from time to time due to holidays and vacation BUT yes it can be done!!0
-
I've lost 101 in two years, including a time healing from a shattered shoulder that put me down and out for 6 week.
It's hard,but totally possible without surgery.
Anyone can add me as a friend.
Have a great weekend!0 -
Me!
154lb's and counting - didn't even change what I eat - just the amount of it. Everything that goes in my face, goes on the scale first. If I can't weigh it, or keep the wrapper with the exact portion size for adding via the android app, I don't eat it. Simples.
Oh - there is probably the small matter of 7,000 miles or so on the pushbike since I started July last year to figure in there as well of course.
But - and I'm going to be really annoying to lots of people now - it's been EASY - and I just can't understand why it took me so damned long to get my finger out and do it!0 -
I lost 160 pounds without surgery once! I did gain a lot of it back though and am trying again without surgery. You can add me as a friend and then you can read my blog about how I did it. Best of Luck to you! 0

85 weeks in 111lbs down.
No surgery
light to moderate excercise
lots of walking
counting calories and eating the good stuff.
people at my church think all i eat is diet food however when we have a dinner i bring my "diet food" and they love it. hmmm
I as well look at food and gain I have a slow metablolism I eat no more than 1700 calories a day. I have lost 1.3 lb per week since i started slow yes i know but it is the right way.
you have done great so far
God Bless0 -
I am down over 100 and have about 50 left. I have found a lot of friends here over the past year who are doing this without surgery, and a few with surgery too. The most important thing is to find a good core group of friends willing to talk about the hard emotional stuff because there is a lot of that too! And without doing the inside work, I dont think the outside work will last.0

I'm right at the 100-pounds-lost mark, with about 75 to go - without surgery. It's taken about 4 years or so with some time off for motorcycle accidents/surgery. But it's a marathon not a sprint, and a life style change not a diet. Feel free to friend me.0

...But it's a marathon not a sprint, and a life style change not a diet.
+1 on that - the way I look at it is this - it took me 48 years to get this fat, so if It takes me 2 years to do something about it, that's really quick, and if it takes 10 years to be happy with my weight, then it's still a damned sight faster than getting fat in the first place was!0
