edited December 19 in Success Stories
Hey guys, just wanted to add to the awesome success stories here because MFP has been instrumental in this whole process. I ended up somewhere around 460 pounds a few years ago and started considering surgeries but decided to give it a shot myself. I'm 26 now and was younger then so I'm glad I did.

Anyway, I don't take many pictures so I had to track some down! First one was several years ago before I started this. The second was from a few months ago. Now I'm down 100 pounds and still have another 100 to lose but I'm getting there! I'm at around 355 now. I'm 6'4 which helps haha.

    You definitely will! I think it's much more rewarding knowing you put in the work to do it.

    Your hard work has paid off. Doing it yourself is much more rewarding and you are more likely to keep it off. You should be very proud of yourself.

    Wow! What did you do at the very beginning? When you were at your heaviest? My SW was 280 and my CW is 249. My GW is 155. I’m so proud of you that you lost 180!!!! That’s so amazing and no easy task.... I have a ways to go and was feeling a little down but after seeing your post I have renewed hope. Thanks so much!
