Mmhmmm I was 115lbs end of summer, went back up to 125lbs. Managed to get back down to 122lbs according to this mornings weight in. We slip up now and then, as long as you get back on track it’s all good.
And don’t mind the negativity just look at ... nvm3 -

I don't think I disliked the post but feel it was put out there as a way of 'look at me' type of thing instead of look how hard I worked, KWIM? Flaunting opposed to garnering respect.
I am in awe of all the photos people post when they also share their journey; I know from first hand experience how difficult and challenging it is, the obstacles people have to overcome to get there. But this poster has posted/shared none of that. JMO
Maybe I'm wrong?
I was wrong once.
BTW, there are lots of nice bodies out there; all one has to do is thumb through magazines.
But share the story and make it real. 12 -

You are right. I'll pm her to find out her story and fitness goals1 -
This is also me. I’m not seeking attention. I’ve struggled with just being ok to post that previous picture of myself. I have struggled my whole life with my body image. Don’t shame other women for being happy finally with what they see, even if my abs are not there and my butt jiggles now. Covid hit me hard and I’m here for motivation. Also, I have a chronic disease that I struggle and fight with everyday and that makes staying in shape that much harder. If you look close to the pictures you’ll see a scar from my colostomy bag that I had for years.
Bottom line I think I look damn good in both pictures and have never been able to say that before. I would never post a picture like this years ago, but I’m proud. Don’t look if you don’t like.
Women should empower each other, not bring them down. Don’t be a mean girl in the world we are living in today.
I’d you want to know my story, just ask. You’ll be blown away, trust me.

Then I apologize. Without seeing and hearing the whole story, it came off a different way. So I do apologize; it was my 1st impression. My 2nd impression is now different with the new information. You should be proud of your determination and hard work!
I have to reign in my judgement/first impressions without inquiring further. TG happimess did take it further. I feel so ashamed I jumped to the wrong conclusion. I have seen a couple people who float through here doing that very thing(posting for attention without anything else).
Wishing you well6 -
I've reached my fitness goals and dream body plenty of times, then to have to start all over again because of tiny humans (oh I love them but what they do to my body and my fitness
)
Just get back on it, slow and steady. Get back in the gym, follow a new program, set your macros, whatever makes you excited about being fit again.
You look great and you can do it

I admit, I kind of dismissed the post based on the first message (I didn't dislike it, I just kinda went 🤔 and scrolled for fun to see where it went).
I'm glad you followed up with this. FWIW... I get it. I was "there" before. I am not "there" now... Though I feel much further away than others think I am. In my mind it's a horrible feeling to be in the body I have now,and very little energy to make a change.
But.. I realize that the only way to get back to that body is to take it back myself. Noone is going to give it to me.
You can do it. We can do it!3 -

Apologies if my gif hurt you in any way. It was directed toward the male thirst that usually seems to pop up anytime a woman posts any photo here with anything remotely revealing. It happens a lot in the generic selfie thread and having been here for years and having flitted around the Internet since its inception, I've seen way too many of these threads where the person is simply seeking attention/validation and people just behave like thirsty animals. I should have written something to clarify that much. Again, my apologies.
It is harsh and wrong for us to judge without context. Thank you for sharing your story/insight.
I've never had a body looking anything remotely like yours (or anywhere close to it) and probably never will, so when I see posts like this, I tend to think of attention-seeking, narcissistic behaviors because that is what I experience from others day in and day out and it is not something I would ever do nor feel comfortable with (because my body is not recognized as being beautiful or desirable in any way). You look fantastic in both photos I've seen and I hope you don't let it bother you too much that you might not look exactly like you did in that first photo (bodies change and people age, after all).
More power to you and I hope you achieve whatever goals you have set for yourself.

Going from goal body to gaining 30 pounds can feel devastating. For a lot of people here who have a lot more than 30 to lose, it's very hard to understand what's going on in our heads.
For many people on this site, our current body is their goal body... And some people get angry they feel that we are saying it is not enough..
Sometimes it doesn't feel like the safest space for relatively healthy people to air their struggles with their weight gain. (you get a lot of eye rolls).
But the struggle is real. The way you feel when you look in the mirror and feel rolls where there weren't any... Or see soooo many more dimples than you used to have... How you feel when your clothes are now tighter and uncomfortable. Those feelings are universal.
I look in the mirror and know that I look pretty great. But when I'm not looking in the mirror, I FEEL like jabba the hut. Lol
I guess what I'm saying with all this is... There are people on here who will get where you're coming from, and then others who cannot relate well at all. People will respond out of their own experiences, which often have pain attached.
You seem like a good person, who is struggling with their current state (like many of us are)... So I'm here to say... I get it. And believe in you. You can do this!5 -

Thank you!! Very encouraging!! I really needed that!!! I have lost 100lbs 3 times. Lived life as a big girl until my 20s my husband gave the the confidence to lose it all the first time. Gained it all back with my first child! Plus 25 extra! Lost all of that got to the picture you see on my profile. Got pregnant gained it all back again. Thyroid nodules have made things tough this time. But I lost all but 30lbs at one point. Been a yoyo since. I really wanna push this year. Get to goal and not stop!! Keep on rocking!! I know what it's like to have over a 100 to lose and I know what it's like to struggle with just 10!!! Both are hard and deserve a big part on the back!!!! The mind is the biggest blocker of our goals!!! This time I'm gonna win.....AGAIN!!3
