edited September 2024 in Success Stories
I started my journey on MFP on March 20th at the weight of 233lbs. So far I've lost just over 20lbs...Now I'm 212.8lbs.

I was 209 before I got pregnant. I had problems in my pregnancy so I went all the way to 270lbs with the medication and a month of bedrest they put me on. My little guy is 1 now, & I'm still losing the baby weight. My goal is 150.

These pictures are me at 233lbs & 212.8lbs. I take comparison pictures ever 10lbs, because I find that it helps keep me motivated! =) I know it's not a huge difference, but I hope it helps to motivate you also.

Thank you for looking! =)

    Thanks for this because it's really good to see what a difference 20lbs can make (that's what I've just lost lol). Not only are you much smaller but your skin even looks healthier. Really well done!

    WOW! Can I ask how? Like what foods, did you diet or just eat smaller portions? What exercises did you do?

    I'm lazy. I'm a stay at home mom, so I sit on the couch watching movies all the time. I don't like to work out. My working out is gardening, cutting the lawn, and working with my horse (walking with her, brushing her out etc). So I just said I want to lose 2lbs a week, and I don't go over my calorie goal...

    I don't eat junkfood except ice cream (low fat, sugar free, etc) & that'sonly if it fits in my calories for the day. I drink diet soda when i do drink soda.... I usually put the food I want to eat in my diary frist, to see how many calories it is per serving, so I can see how much i can eat. That's a huge save for me on now to NOT go over my calories.

    Doing a great job - stay focused and dedicated. Running about after a 1yr old will no doubt help too! x
