Great job! Tomorrow is my 1 year fitnesspal anniversary apparently....364 streak today, 2 lb from the goal weight I set a year ago, seemed like a good time to check out the community posts, and share my photos/journey; 80 lbs crept up on me slowly in a decade...it took 1 consistent, accountable and disciplined year to lose. If somebody is just starting and in need of motivation, I hope this helps.

What a great transformation and proof that consistency is key. Fantastic achievement 👏👏
Hi, I'm feeling very nervous as I've never posted before, let alone a before/after. I was browsing everyone else's pics and thought I couldn't post because I'm not at my goal yet. Then I realised what a visible transformation I've gone through and that I absolutely could still post!
What strikes me is not just my physical change, but change in attitude too. Even though at my very thinnest I look great, you can see that I used to be shy and lacked confidence, whereas years of experience have taught me to be much more outgoing, bold, and generally happier - despite not reaching my target yet (I would like to regain the 60kg number on the scale from my youth!)
Total loss of 5st 5lb (75lbs) in 7 months 😄, Starting at 18st 2.8lb at the beginning of January and having just gone past my goal of 13st 0lb on Monday. I'm thinking i will just carry on losing those extra lbs whilst im motivated to.
My fitness pal has completely proven that i can eat what i want, when i want, as long as im counting those calories! Im currently so happy, but going to reassess my target and potiently go down to 11st 7lb.
This journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions and seemed so impossible at the start, it just goes to show what is possible when you put your mind to it!

I have 8 lbs to go I want to be between 130 & 135 . I’m 5”1 Wasn’t easy but took me almost 1 yr. you can do it, I have been to many nutritional Dr’s but not one helped me all they wanted to do was push pills ! I have IBS so this has been a journey to eat healthier in addition to weight loss . I eat as much organic & grass fed meats as I can afford, use my food scale & only go out to dinner to eat anything I want 2x a yr my b-day & my grandma b-day . But I found my body doesn’t do well with sugar any longer . As I used to eat lots of chocolate & deserts .Has been whole life style change I’m feeling more flexible enabling me to exercise now . Never going back to fat thighs painfully rubbing together !

In January of 2019 I went gluten free, in July of 2019 I visited the ER and found out I have gallstones. After meeting with a surgeon, he said I could avoid surgery for many years if I adjusted my diet—no red meat, no pork, basically high fat foods. So, in my attempts to not have surgery I started back on the weight loss bandwagon. What I didn’t realize on that day was how much I would enjoy being thin and in shape. Today, I can walk for miles and miles, even run-I ran a 5K! I can run up 50-60 flights of stairs without stopping, I have an incredible amount of energy, and I really like the way I look.
How did I accomplish my goals: Eat Less, Move More. It really is CICO, plain and simple. No need for Keto or crazy hard workout videos. Count your calories and walk.
Height: 5 foot 2
Starting Weight: 190 pounds. 2XL shirts and Size 16 pants
