Chart Only Progress Pictures

Male, 5'6, 4 months, now hit my target weight.

Joined app to help focus me and stop me eating so many sweets and packets of pop corn... Calorie counting has become a habit now and thinking of stopping inputting daily calories and just doing a weekly - 2 weekly weigh in and see how it goes.

Good luck everyone, wish you all the greatest success.

5’7” SW 09/2018 at age 56 was 222.

Have dropped as low as 132, planning to re-begin recomp next week when my trainer takes me back. Never ever thought I’d say but I miss lifting and pushing things, concrete and AstroTurf, and even the rude music those kids play. I can never get over how such nice peeps can listen to such appalling music to pump themselves up. Jeez, is it possible to feel this young and this old at the same time?!

Yes, those are years! Still working on flattening my curve.



Edit: I forgot to add, I’m F/5’6.5”

F/5'1/4 years

The story behind the chart:

In 2016, I set out to lose weight at a pace that was too aggressive and without doing the work to understand how certain self-limiting behavioral patterns were what had caused me to gain weight in the first place (e.g. "all or nothing" thinking, "cheat days," wanting to lose it all very quickly). After losing 10 pounds, I plateaued around 130 pounds, got frustrated, and gave up too soon. The next year, I had gained those pounds back plus another 10 pounds. It wasn't until a year later, in 2018, that my self-limiting behavioral patterns were pointed out to me (by my partner, ever so lovingly) and a light bulb went off, catalyzing the steady downward slope (which I did entirely and very slowly at a 0.5lb/week loss, by walking 6-10k steps everyday, ensuring that I'd never be hangry, had room for dessert every day, still could go out to eat 2-3 times a week, and was making new food and movement habits). I reached my goal weight in March, but have lost a couple extra pounds since.

I'm certainly not proud of mine! It is "from the beginning" which was about 5 years ago. A recap of "what happened to me" is in my profile bio if you're interested but the short version is I've lost and regained 90 pounds. But I have once again taken a positive step of trying yet again! I have decided to get more involved in the community this time so this is my first community post! I've re-written my profile bio and I think I will try blogging again. I was once a very active blogger both here and on WW. I think it contributed to some of my prior success.

Female, 5'6.5", currently 25.
