    This thread is AMAZING!! I have only (!) lost 78 so far but if any proof were needed that it's possible to lose the whole 198 that I need to, all of your posts have just proved it! You all look great!!

    It took close to five years, but I lost 130lb on my own. The pics are on my profile. It started with just living a more active lifestyle (walking to class, working a lot) then it transformed to an overall lifestyle change-no fast food, no soda, all that jazz.

    I still have around 10 or so pounds left to go, but I'm in the best shape of my life and I feel great!

    You have done an amazing job- well done! I thought I would post my progress shot. Hopefully it will work
    I reached my goal over a year ago and have been maintaining since then. No bariatric surgery - just diet and heaps of exercise.

    I gained 70lbs when I became pregnant with my son. When I delivered on August 5 2013, I was roughly 290lbs. I tried to blame the weight on the pregnancy, but the reality is I was unhealthy long before that. Evidenced by the "skinny clothes" I had hid away in the back of my closet and storage. 5 years ago I was sitting at a healthy weight of about 150lbs, and looked and felt amazing. I was active and fit... Then I met my fiancé and over the course of our relationship managed to pack on the pounds without really noticing. By the time I gave birth I was disgusted with the way I looked, though it was something that could have been helped before we even began trying.

    I officially started "trying" to actively lose weight in October, once the stress of being a new mum had its time to sink in. The first time I stepped on a scale on October 15 I weighed 275. Yikes. I consider this my official "start weight".

    I am currently sitting at 179lbs as of this morning! October to today I have been eating locally and as clean as possible (with the occasional treat of course!). I've been exercising almost daily and getting my butt off the couch! At 5'9 I am only 11lbs away from a healthy BMI!

    Definitely couldn't have done it without MFP!

    I lost 127 lbs before i found MFP, and 98 lbs since for a total of 205.4 lbs! My doctor recommended surgery, and I even had a consultation set up, but at that time I had never had any surgery and I chickened out. My doctor at that time said I would never be able to accomplish that on my own. If he wasn't such a jerk, I wouldn't have changed doctors at all and would show him what i did. It took me awhile, but it can be done. For more on my journey:
