in Success Stories
The left I was 20 years old and 370lbs on the right I'm 23 at 170lbs.

I last shared my success here a year or two ago and the response was extremely overwhelming. I wanted to give back again to a community that provided me with so much; be it knowledge, motivation, or inspiration... this is the place that did it for me. If it wasn't for counting the calories with the app and the learning I did from the forums, I most likely wouldn't have been able to achieve this feat.

I love helping, if anyone has questions I'll gladly answer anything I can.

    Wow! Awesome story! Congratulations and g o o d f o r y o u.

    I'm struck by something very, very powerful. Here's the thing: you won't realize just how impactful this change is on your cumulative health until your twenties are 10-15 years behind you. You did a very, very good thing for yourself. Way to go!

    Thank you everyone! And I'm not quite sure why I said I was 21 in the title, I legitimately assumed I was. I'm 23 and apparently losing it already!

    Haha thank you!

    I'm glad someone mentioned something about clothes. It was beyond frustrating knowing how you wanted to dress, but really couldn't because it's not economical during weight loss. Once I hit a weight/size I felt that I'd maintain at, I did some serious 3 years built up clothes shopping! :)
