Yeah I'm (almost) dieting for a year. By almost I mean I didn't diet the whole year,I had some breaks.
I started at my heaviest which was 233 lbs. I couldn't walk much because my knee and feet would hurt me all the time. It was also impossible to cycle because of the same reason. I couldn't run,I was really out of shape.
I am doing a 1300-1800 diet (depends on the day) and I workout (cardio/strength) 2-4 times a week. I started using the stairs no matter how tired i am. I also walk daily for 30 or more minutes. I really enjoy it now.
And finally I started taking care of myself. I thought I would never lose weight and that if I did,I'd give up as usually. I had tried so many times since i was 10 years old. I didn't enjoy my childhood like the other kids.
But now,I realized that everything is possible as long as we are commited to it.
That's the only pic I have where I'm over 100 kg.
This is me (my thighs) wearing the same pants.
This is my stomach in April (216 lbs) and in May (209 lbs).
This is my stomach now (181.8 lbs)
But I'm surprised with my face mostly. First photo: my face in July. Second: my face in December

You & I started at the same weight, have been on this journey for pretty much the same length of time, and have almost matching results
Well done - you look fabulous!
Edited to say - we're the same height too.
But you're young enough to be my daughter, lol, so we're not exactly twins!0 -
