From 323 to the 170's in 18 months (and now stuck for the last 6 months) doing low carb and exercise.
I went from barely doing 10 min of wii fit a day to doing 3 intense workouts a day, 2 of which I teach. It's a whole new life!2 -

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for sharing your personal stories and photos it really is a testament to how strong we can be as individuals and how vital a string support system can be. Congrats to everyone regardless of the point in their journey.
I firmly believe in this statement "You never know where one has been in their journey so assuming anything is beyond disrepectful".
In my life I admit there were people that walked by and I would think to myself " They have no idea what it's like" - and that was probably the most intolerant disgusting thing I could ever have done or thought. Life experience has taught me that we really never know what one has been through and this thread more over proves my point. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and bravery in their photos and journey.0 -
Thanks for sharing and congrats to all of the losers!! You all look amazing! Keep up the good work!0

I lost 102 with no surgery, no gimmicks, no shakes, pills, bars or anything. There are no tricks to it... just healthy eating and exercise. I did count calories and prepared a meal plan each week of all clean, organic whole foods (I also happen to be vegetarian, which I think also helped). I worked out five times a week. A trainer got me started and I just stuck with his plan. I do 30 minutes of weightlifting plus 30-40 minutes of cardio three days a week and 60-70 minutes of cardio two days a week. The other two days are rest/active recovery. It was tough at first, but after a month it was second nature and I felt fantastic. It is possible and worth it! You come out the other end knowing you are a warrior, that you fought for and earned every moment of your success and healthfulness.0

At my highest weight, I was 252 lbs and wore a size 20. Today I weigh 136.5 lbs and I'm in a size 6 :happy: I did it all by logging what I ate and working out (hard) regularly. It took me roughly a year to do it. Here is another thread where I posted my "before" and "after" pics http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/875472-then-and-now-hopefully-with-pics-size-20-to-size-60

Yep! Well, almost... 99 lbs as of today and tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary on MFP (yay!). My "official" weigh-in is on Wednesday and, assuming all is right with the world, I should hit 100+ then. (double yay!)
eta: oops. pic too big. will edit later. must head to gym now. in the mean time you can right click to open it in a new tab or something. sorry!0 -
My highest weight ever was over 240. So yes. It can be done.0

I had been considering surgical weight loss last year - but made myself a deal. If I could lose 50lbs by the end of the year (2012) I wouldn't subject myself to the terror of the surgery. By April I had lost 55lbs, and by Christmas 125. I would call that a raging success, no? My weight loss is still progressing, albeit slowly. I am just relieved I didn't have to commit to surgery..
I am a wimp, I hate being operated on. Kudos to folks who opted for the surgical means. You are all far braver than I will ever be. :flowerforyou:0
