Hi everyone! I started my weight loss journey the day after I graduated college. I was close to 400 pounds when I started . . . on Sunday I weighed in at 373 pounds! So this is just a little update post :)

If you go to my profile pictures you can see a body progress picture with me in my sports bra and leggings . . . I'm a little embarrassed to post that here! Overall I've lost 5 inches from my waist, 4 inches under my bust, and 4 inches from my hips.

The progress I'm most proud of is my personal fitness! I can do a mile on the elliptical in 13 minutes when before I could barely last 10 minutes on the elliptical without feeling like I was going to pass out. I don't get out of breath as easily as I used to which is a great benefit of losing weight!

I'm still a long way from any real goals but I figured someone who was as obese as I am might get some additional motivation from this! I have 3 more months until my wedding and I'm hoping to lose at least another 30 pounds. Thanks everyone :)

    You are doing great! When I first started my transformation I had to start by walking, then I did a stationary bike and worked up to zumba and now I do at home programs like T25 and TurboFire. In all honesty if I had thrown myself into a major change all at once I probably wouldn't have stuck with it because I would have been so discouraged from the beginning. Sometimes it just takes a lot of baby steps and the only thing that matters is if you are making the changes and challenging yourself.

    Looks like you are figuring it out. :smile: Keep up the good work!
