@SeaMistFitness thats an amazing turnaround. Would you share what you did, for the benefit of others? And way to claw yourself back to a happy place. I’m so sorry for your loss, but honey, you rock!!!!

I have a big art related event coming up this weekend. I'm considering it my "red carpet moment". While I still have 30 pounds to go, I'm excited to wear a dress and to feel beautiful going in. Several of my girlfriends helped me select this outfit out of a number of dresses and skirts I bought. All of them in a size 14 fit!! I can't wait.

Congratulations--YOU ARE KILLING IT!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I started out in January 2021 weighing in at 250+. I was mourning the death of my husband, my pancreas was going wonky and I just wanted it to all be over. One day I looked at myself in the mirror, sans clothes, and I decided that I had enough. I joined my gym in July 2021, started working hard on my nutrition and getting enough sleep. After a couple of months, my clothes started getting really baggy, but I did not want to get anything new....I was still clinging to my 'fat' thinking. I finally had to give in, since I could not walk a few steps without them falling off my butt. I eventually caved in and decided to hit the store. In January 2021 I was wearing a size 22 jean and a 2-3XL shirt. I put on and easily zipped up a size 12! I would wear a smaller than Large tee shirt, but I am too...gifted...up top! Oh yeah, and I am doing a bodybuilding comp in 2024. Time to make another dream come true!

WOW CONGRATS. 🎉 What an incredible story. How much weight have you lost so far? DO you have any fav go-to meals?

DownsizingSam88 · April 2022

I ordered new Cowgirl Tuff jeans in a 28x33 which is equivalent to an AU12. My measurements are almost at a 12 so I figured I would buy them to fit into soon. They got here yesterday and I held them up and was like “no way are they gunna go close to fitting, they are so tiny!” My partner told me that I would fit them and if not I would be very close to fitting them so I tried them on with his encouragement. They actually fit comfortably, my belly isn’t flattering in them so won’t be wearing them for a couple of weeks, but it’s good to know that I can comfortably fit a 12. It used to be my ultimate goal size, I never believed I could get smaller because of my “big bones” but now that I’m here and I still have quite a bit of fat I’m carrying I’m thinking that I will end up in a 10, maybe even an 8! I never dared to believe that I could get into an 8 and maybe it won’t happen, I’d be stoked with a 10, but I still have about 15Kg to lose so I’m just excited to see where that lands me 😊

(Currently on a "diet break" or what I call "maintenance at goal weight + eating back exercise calories")

Weighed out one serving of some cookies and cream popcorn candy thing. Put it in a little bowl, brought it back to the couch. The hubby says, "Is that ALL you are going to eat?!" Incredulous. "Yes. If I want another serving I will have one later." This sort of thing used to give me severe peer pressure eating issues with some FOMO. But now, I just look at it as what it is. A serving of a treat, no more, no less.

Roonwit · April 2022

Today I tried on a UK size 16 top and it fitted. First time in over a decade I can fit into that size. Seems such a small thing but it felt amazing to me. I have been trying to lose weight for so long, and it's taken a genuine health scare for me to do it. But I am doing it. So very very slowly but I'm ok with that

People here get it.

biohazardinc · April 2022

Bittersweet but size 20 jeans don't fit so my summer clothes from last year don't fit.

willboywonder · April 2022

A shirt that used to always be my favorite is now too big, and I need to give it away or donate it.

I went to the Polish festival this weekend, and bought a medium size t-shirt! I could have bought lots of clothes that actually fit. As a previously 2x-3x size this was impossible in previous years. I am wearing it right now! Some pretty poppies with "Polska". I don't think this is an NSV, but I didn't eat any food there. I really don't like meals from the Polish side (or the German side), unless it is baking! The line for the baked goods was around the whole parish, and the hubby didn't want to wait until next week. But, I had saved 1,000 calories just for that moment of baked goods - maybe next year we will have more time to wait in line!

_sherbearp0123_ · May 2022

I got a candy bar at the corner store mid afternoon and just ate the one. It was a standard size, not king size like I have gotten in the past. (In the past, the sweet from candy would of course make me want to balance it with salty chips).

And then still stuck with my planned food for dinner. For me , huge NSV. And I’m still in a calorie deficit for the day. Although small, it is a deficit! 🎉🥳

Some NSV although I have only lost 8lbs yet.

1. Said no to ice-cream last night because I had no space for it on mfp. Had it today instead with zero guilt.

2. Around 3-4 people commented on my weightloss, eventhough I don't think I have lost enough for it to be noticeable. One person even asked what kind was I doing, if it was keto or some specific diet. I said nope. Just portion control! I could finally relate to all the other comments I read on here where people are asked their secret and they reply with almost the same answer.

3. I baked cookies 2 days ago and haven't had the urge to completely indulge all of them at once. I accidentally made them too many, and have stored them in jars, so I can have them ocassionally whenever I crave something sweet. My mom told me to give them away because knowing me I would finish them in a day. I told her nope I wont, and I havent! I haven't even had the urge to do so!

I had enough core strength to climb into bed while holding my 3 year old

Don’t ever downplay any loss. Every loss is a victory.

I tried to frame it as “wow! That’s 3.6% of my total body weight! Almost ten pounds! Over 13% of my (initial) goal!”

I found that was super helpful to my mindset and continued success. Eating an elephant and all that.

bojaantje3822 · May 2022

I hung from the pull up bar at our gym for the first time ever. I haven't done this since I was a child. It was terrifying and magnificent and I managed to do 3 knee raises at a time for a total of 29 knee raises. All while weighing somewhere in the 280s. I am ecstatic.

Also someone pissed me off earlier and I got really stressed but instead of eating all the cookies, I sat with my feelings and allowed myself to be hurt.

dralicephd · May 2022

I've been following my weight loss for the past few months as I've gone from a BMI in the upper end of the overweight category to an upper-normal BMI. I'm also using a BI body fat scale and I know they can be inaccurate, so I only record the body fat % readings every few weeks. My goal has been to just look at the trend.

Anyway, long story short (too late! haha), I realized today that over the past 10 months, I've lost 8% body fat! That was more than I expected! Cool. I'll take it.

Thank You. I specifically needed this. Brings a much more meaningful frame of mind in losing. Not just a number on the scale.

I went shopping and fit in regular (not plus size)

Dobbythefreelef · May 2022

I went out last night with family to have dinner. I was worried it was going to be another maintenance day (3rd in a row) but I was chill as long as I don't exceed my maintainence calories. When I got back home and logged everything, I was UNDER my maintaince calories. Wohoo!

JustJ2014 · May 2022

My weight is looming at the same place for 3 months but I just measured and I am down 3 inches around my upper and lower stomach. 🎉 🎉 🎉
