What a difference a year makes! Started to get my sh#t together 1 year ago, starting weight 297 pounds, 45 years old & very unhappy. I try to eat as little processed food as possible, not just for weight loss, but realised on the days i didn't eat processed food, i actually feel much better within myself, e.g. no bloating & much more clarity with my thought process.

Im not a big fan of exercise, so i walk daily & use weights...im eating 1400 cals before exercise & after 1 year i weigh 209 pounds, so ive lost 88 pounds. Still a work in progress, with a little way to go, but im in no hurry.

    You are inspiring! I'm nagging my mum to keep to her calorie intake, she's got the same start weight as you did. But she's 10 years older and falls easily of track. I always tell her to carry on. I will show her your pictures! If this ain't motivating...

    Thank you, everyone, for all the kind words, i really appreciate it :flowerforyou:

    Im a work in progress & have realised that this has to be a lifestyle change, something that is sustainable for the rest of my life.
    And just as importantly, once i committed to it, it became much easier & im now at the stage that healthy choices & portion control have become automatic. I guess its a combination of training the body and the mind.
