Hoi! My name is Laura, I've been big, recently huge, all my life. I had a health scare (turned out to be a non-critcal Rx side effect) earlier this year and it jump started my biggest journey in weight loss that I've ever had. I've lost 55+ lbs since June and working hard to continue the pace. Added an hour walk to my daily routine, try to eat below 1300 calories (usually get around 1800 :c ) and I've seen the results. This is so unusual, surreal, fantastic; I've never been this motivated to stick to my goals. I weigh less now then when I graduated college. GASP!!!
I've been traveling for work recently and loss access to a scale, so I'm scared about how the change in environment has affected my progress, but I'm trying hard and hope posting will motivate me to try harder! I generally lurk here in the forums but wanted to say hello! Today was a good calorie day, I've been getting more into Keto and in the end I'm only 1/4 towards my final goal but keep trying to set smaller goals in the meantime. Thanks for listening and wishing everyone the best on their journey!

Where'd my arm and chin fat go?? Getting some sag but I'm happy to see it!
