in Success Stories
This is a year of progress. I started at 230ish and I'm at 180. I want to get to about 140-150. It's been a long journey but in the next 2-3 months I want to lose at least 20 more.

    This gives me inspiration because I am starting at about the same weight as when you started and hoping to lose at least 50 pounds. Stay Strong!!!!

    Congrats!! 😀

    I want to ask... did you primarily focus on food or fitness? Or maybe both? I'm wondering because we have similar goals. Thanks!

    Kind of both but I mainly just wanted to lose the weight. I have DDD in my lower back so the more I lose the better I feel.

    Looking great! It took me a year to get the 50 off, from a high of 205....I'm plateau-ing now but my skinny skinny jeans fit. I did the 5:2 diet and that really worked for the weight, but spiked my blood pressure (bad soup choices) but now I'm just eating healthy.

    I try to stay at or below 1200. They had me at 1850 starting off but I felt like that was too much for me personally.

    @miranda072089 - I just joined this group for a Spring 5% weight loss challenge.
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/142698-2022-spring-5-challenge-community-starts-sat-april-9th.

    If you're looking for something fun to help keep you motivated, come join with me! I just finished a different one for Winter that was just a weekly accountability challenge, but I dropped 20 pounds or so over the course of the challenge so it worked for me :smile:

    Best of luck!
