@chris5602. I use free weights and resistance bands. I have dumbells from 5lbs to 35lbs. Lighter weights for the upper body and the heavier ones for the lower body. I have been doing the Sidney Cummings "Summertime Fine" challenge and she incorporates a lot of weights and pushes you to try to go heavier as you get stronger. Following a program has helped not over-focus on one set of muscle groups but work on the whole body. Hope that helps.3

December 1998
9/10/21
I don’t seem to know exactly what I am doing in a photo post, sooo…the first picture is an accidental photo of my third replacement wedding ring, size 7 (first was size 9, second was size 10, then an 8, then the 7).
The second is Christmas 1998 at my highest weight of 450 pounds
The third is a photo from yesterday, celebrating reaching 225 pounds. I have now lost half of my body weight.
Thanks for putting up with that!48 -

Thank you all..
Unfortunately the biggest reason I had literally not gotten off my A S S was that aside from obviously being overweight I only had hypertension that was under control with a minimal amount of BP meds. I had been given so many chances as my weight increased and my overall health remained ok. I just decided the party had been going on long enough it was time to try to do something about it. Figure I want to be able to do for myself for as long as I can and not become someone’s burden to take care of me because I was to lazy to do something about it… we’ll time to suit up and do my Sunday 30 min WO13 -
This is me last night after my husband insisted that I go out and buy something that fit, so I could have a Hell Yeah! outfit.
This is me 12 years and 228 pounds ago. I’ve posted here before, but the pictures had to be clicked on to be seen because I didn’t know what I was doing, so I don’t think that many people saw them. I start the process of preparing for an abdomoplasty once I’ve lost 13 more pounds. I’ve promised myself a consult with my plastic surgeon for Halloween 👻!
Happy Sunday!

Ha ha Thanks… I am a Saucony *kitten*. I have 6 pairs of them. I have 3 now in rotation and I’m about to retire 3. Donating them likely. Just got me ones in the pic. The endorphin pro 2 with a carbon fiber insert. I have been digging them for sure.. A few of the others in the pic are the wife’s as well.5 -
@LiveOnceBeHappy & @springlering62 Thank you for the kind words! They are deeply appreciated.1

Thank you for posting these pictures. Over the last 12 years, I’ve lost 230 pounds as of today (my pictures are a page back), and everyone keeps telling me I don’t look “fat” anymore. But I’m having trouble believing it. However, after I have my skin removal surgery in December, I should weigh about 185-190 pounds (my abdominal skin weighs about 20-25 pounds) and *you* only weigh 185 pounds, and I think that *you* look totally normal. So now, I’m a little more inclined to believe them, since I’m only actually losing another 11 pounds before I have surgery and magically lose up to 25 more pounds! Maybe I will be straight on to maintenance after my surgery after all! Yippee 🥳!!!

Losing your double chin is a Non Scale Victory that is in the top of the clouds! It made me so happy the first time I noticed it on me. Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off! 🥳🥳🥳
