Celebrating 1 year on My Fitness Pal and my weight loss...lost 36.7 pounds!!!! I'm over half way to my goal!!! It's hard to believe a year has gone by.
I had hoped for more weight loss than 36 pounds in one year :noway: , but after going to the Doctor, I have found that my hormones, thyroid and a few other things are out of wack, so working on getting them all back to somewhat normal which, they say, will help me to lose the weight.
I've had many plateaus...one lasting an agonizing 117 days...very frustrating to say the least! Many times I shed tears :sad: and wanted to give up, but I kept pressing through...Any way here's my progress so far...Hope I did this right and you can see the pics...Thanks!

    Slow and steady ALWAYS wins the race. Making a change in your lifestyle rather than holding to a depriving diet will make you healthier and happier in the long run. Good for you! You're looking good and you're on track to reach your goal!

    36 pounds in one year isn't impressive speedwise, but slow progress is still progress I suppose. Keep it up.

    It's still a loss!!! A big loss too....

    Well done to you.. You look great, keep it up!!! :smile:

    This is true, but my Dr. said that hormones and thyroid issues has kept me from losing the weight and once those are back to normal, I can lose the weight and not be struggling so much. Trust me, I thought I should of made it to my goal...just hope I can be an encouragement to others who are struggling out there!

    Thats a great looking change! ! ! Well done :)

    As to the time it took...well I think its great :) Slow is always better or it can just jump back on with some extra on top. A lot of people think they can just swing back into eating like they used to and haven't learnt as much from their weight loss journey when its done really fast!

    Myself included..I was 4 stone overweight as an 18 year old, lost it crazy fast and gained it back over the years. I have lost my weight slowly, very slowly this time, but I have learnt the right way to do things for a proper lifestyle change this time.

    Really well done to you and keep up the great work no matter how long it takes :) We are all works in progress x

    Well done 36 pounds is 36 pounds. Despite some comments like (36 pounds in one year isn't impressive speedwise, but slow progress is still progress I suppose). IF PEOPLE CANT BE SUPPORTIVE ON SOMEONE LOSING WEIGHT NO MATTER HOW MUCH, THEN DONT SAY ANYTHING:mad:

    Everyone is different and you should be proud of yourself good luck on the rest of your journey:bigsmile:

    You 'suppose'? Wow.

    Slow progress is GREAT progress. It's a marathon - not a sprint.

    You have done amazingly well! :flowerforyou:
