Not quite a success story yet but I’ve been feeling really down about my weight loss, but then sometimes you have to remember where you were a few months ago, and how far you’ve come! First picture is 1st feb 2018 and second picture was lastnight. 40lb down with 50 more to go

    You've made great progress! Keep up the great work. Comparison photos always worked as a motivator for me and you can definitely tell the difference in your comparison photos. You're doing great!

    40 lbs in 3 1/2 months is a success story. This is motivation for me and you to keep going. I really just got serious about eating and working out on May 12th. Hopefully I'll have good results like you.

    I've lost 51 lbs on my own before but I went back to my old habits. I would suggest that u keep going and don't focus on timelines... it's a marathon not a race.

    @LostInDC80 I'm very goal orientated so having something to work towards works best for me, but thanks. Once im at my goal weight I will set myself fitness goals and work toward those

    You look super!! I can't imagine you needing to drop 50 more pounds. You look somewhere between a size 6 and 8 now. Awesome job! What have you been doing to have such great results in such a short period of time?

    I’m not sure what American sizing is but a 6/8 is tiny in the UK! I’ve been eating lots of fresh food and lots of protein and walking and doing more with my horses, it has slowed down recently so think I will have to start smashing the exercise more now! I’m quite muscley on legs and arms due to the horses I think that’s why I look smaller than I weigh but who knows lol

    This is a success story
    That is fantastic
    The next time you go to store put (8) lb bags of sugar
    That is the weight you lost
    For every 5lbs you lose
    Go back to store and add another bag
    Look at the cart
    Great progress!
