in Success Stories
9 months ago I officially started at 268lbs, 55% body fat, and took my photos, (yikes!). They are super embarrassing but they are real and definitely help me stay on track. I made it to Onderland a few days ago and now am sitting at 198lbs and 40% body fat. It feels good, really good to have set out a goal and to actually reach it. My goal was to lose 50% of the 138lbs of excess fat on my body and make it to Onderland. I did it! 70lbs gone and under 200lbs happy dance! I still have a super long way to go to lose the next 68lbs so I will be back to post another success story when I eventually get there. But for now I hope that by posting this I can help inspire others even at my halfway point. It's a long hard road but one day at a time, logging, consistency, and being more active everyday has made the world of difference in my life.

    Congrats on making it to onederland- you go girl!!!! What a huge accomplishment. I also started in the 260s and am almost back in the 220s with a long ways to go. You look so much healthier and should be extremely proud of yourself. If you made it this far, you can go all the way, just keep your healthy mind-set! Happy for you and keep it going! :smile:

    Thank you for all the kind words! Oh yes I definitely feel much healthier. I've carried all this extra weight around my whole life so it makes the world of difference in how I feel everyday. I can actually jog now! That's crazy to me.
