    My weight loss started January of 2012, though the JOURNEY did not start until December. The initial losses were due to a medical condition running rampant, which I have managed to get control of while continuing to actively direct the journey since I was diagnosed.

    Highest weight: 415 (ish, might have been a bit higher)
    Starting weight with MFP: 389
    Current weight: 293

    Still have at LEAST 30 pounds to go, but if the body wants to keep going, I'm not going to say no to some more weight going buh-bye either.

    Collage of the first 3 months of progress on MFP - weight ranges from 389 - 360 something:

    Current collage for May, will be updating mid June for current measurements

    Wow! You look amazing! You look like a different person! I was contemplating the sleeve. I know many people who have had it, but I am getting inspired on this site. I really am very skeptical about the surgery for me for medical reasons.

    bumping for when I need it! This is so encouraging for someone like me who has finally learned that eating enough calories and moving my body more can actually work. (amazing, i know).

    Me. Look at my pics because I can't post for nothing. I'm just working off a couple pounds from my vacation to Mexico a week ago. No surgery. Hard work a ton of sweat and 1900 calories a day!!

    I seriously want to send a Friend Request to every single person who posted in this thread. It's so inspirational to see people who have been able to achieve the goals I have set for myself. I have 150+ left to lose and reading all of your stories makes me feel like this goal is much more attainable.

    Way to go everyone!

    I have nothing against bariatric surgery. I had one done myself, but after 10 years of problems with no weight loss because of said problems, it was finally reversed and I feel amazing, like I am human again!

    I am now looking at losing 100+ pounds, and would love to hear from anyone who has done it without surgery. Pictures would be AWESOME!

    Thank you in advance! :flowerforyou:

    I started at 340lbs, I'm down 137lbs to 203lbs :-) No surgery or whacky diets, just lots of exercise, measuring/weighing and using sites tools like Myfitnesspal and Sparkpeople. I've got some more to go before I reach my goal but it's in sight :-)

    I shed the weight without surgery, pills, or crazy diets. Just sensible eating, exercise, and patience.

    It took me a year for 92lbs and then the last 8 to 9lbs in the last 2 months. It is definitely doable and you will get there...just accept that it takes time and serious commitment with a healthy diet and increasing activity. Too technology challenged to post pics though.

    totally possible...

    time, patience, planning and determination...

    probably one of the hardest things that I have ever done but its been just as rewarding...

    Quite an inspiring thread! I have about 160lbs to lose give or take. I just started buckling down to do it though, I gained 30 llbs with my last pregnancy, and gave birth 8 weeks ago today to our 2nd son, 4th child. He weighed 8lbs6oz and im actually heavier than when i gave birth :/
