in Success Stories
Hey all! I have been beating myself up the last few months because I haven't lost as much this year as I did last year, so I decided to post some updated before/during photos. When I look at these, I am overwhelmed with inspiration, pride and happiness. I never thought that I could be someone who could successfully lose weight (and keep it off). I just hope I can inspire someone else! :smile:

    I lost 50 the first year and 30 the second year... and it's taken 6 years all together to get the125lb off!!.. And I had a period where I re-gained 40 lbs..
    weight didn't go on overnight ain't coming off over night.. and as long as the scale is going down... DON'T beat yourself up!.. your still pounds closer to your goal!..
    YOU CAN DO THIS!!

    Great JOB!!

    I have also stumbled and taken breaks over the last two years but I haven't gained any of it back. Refuse to go back! Maintaining is always better than gaining. You'll find the motivation again. :)

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it! I started in January 2012 on MFP by just going by what they recommended (around 1600 calories/day). I was exercising and eating back most of my calories. I hit a longer than average plateau in the middle of this year and have been using the TDEE - 20% method and it's working great so far! :)
