On January 13th, 2013 I started my weight loss journey at 309.8 LBS on September 13th 2013 I was down 62.2 LBS!!! I was at my lowest ever but then I went away to college, I went through a lot emotionally and ended up gaining all my weight back and more: now weighed 325.5; on June 13th, 2014 I decided I needed to do this once and for all and while away for a summer of work at a camp I lost 11.5 LBS; I returned home from summer employment on August 9th and decided to commitment 100% to getting healthy.. Yesterday I reached my phase 1 goal: lose 40 LBS I gave myself until November 30th but I did it a WHOLE month earlier!!! In the past I focused only on the scale this time through I am also focusing on the mental barriers as well as nutrition and not becoming skinnier but a healthier person!
Goals I accomplished in Phase 1:
- Got out of the 300's
- Lost 5.5" on my bust, 5" on my waist, 5" on my hips, 6" off my hips, and gained 1" on my arms
-Changed my mindset a lot; still a ways to go
-Went from a size 4XL shirt to a 1XL-2XL
-Went from a size plus 22-24 jean to a 18-20
-Completed my first fitness program EVER: 21 Day Fix
Phase 2: starts tomorrow and will go until January 14th my goal is to lose another 40 LBS and build more muscle

Awesome job! But just be aware that eating at a deficit you aren't going to gain a whole lot of muscle. The point of lifting while eating at a deficit is to maintain the muscle you have. You can't gain muscle unless you do a bulk.0

You look great well done0

wow you look great! can you imagine how amazing the next 40 are going to look?!? congrats and best of luck with phase 2!0

I think you have the right approach. I'm about finished with my Phase 1 weight loss and I'm heading into my Phase 2 weight loss. I have not decided if Phase 3 will be additional weight loss or more of a maintenance phase. My plan is somewhat flexible at the moment.0

You look fantastic! You're making amazing changes way before your target date
Congratulations, and here's to more success for all of us!
I'm glad you're more focused on the mental barriers and the aspect of just being healthy. That's the best way to look at it! I think a lot of people feel defeated by a number, but If you can beat those bad thoughts in your head than you are capable of anything!
Great work! I look forward to seeing more of your journey in the future!0
