Hi all! Slight update, I’m 287lbs. NSV’s include:
•PR: 30 minutes on stairs (started at max 5 mins)
•I can feel some muscle build up in my calves and forearms
•I don’t feel as hungry as I used to, definitely curing my eating disorder one day at a time (used to binge eat a lot)
•Not consuming as much sugar
•Arms are starting to loosen up in my clothing. Doesn’t feel as tight.
Finally got an appt with a trainer in October, so excited to see what he will plan with me. For now just keeping on with what I’m doing. In a caloric deficit of 1300 cal a day and trying to work out atleast 4-5 times a week.5 -
Also just recently started working on my core a little more, and I am able to see a little bit of progress

Keep us posted! You can do this! This is YOU succeeding, and taking care of yourself, because you deserve it. You are winning at life in slow motion. This is how you love your body. Your body will continue to change to reflect the good choices you are making. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's not being on a diet, it's simply your lifestyle. See you again in the 260's!1

I was 320lbs start of this year. I’ve been battling my weight my whole life! Previously I’ve lost a couple of stone but couldn’t tell a difference, gave up and put it back on.
I’ve recently lost just under 7 stone so far. I still can’t tell a difference really when I look in a mirror (I can tell when I look at photos, so strange) I am in smaller size clothes though.
People started commenting around the 5 stone mark, now when I loose weight people notice a lot faster now I’m smaller. Last weekend I had 4 people in one day mention how much weight I’ve lost and that I look amazing, it just took a long time for it to show.
Hang in there and trust it will happen!4 -

Body Dysmorphia is a thing. I went through the same thing. It took ages to go away for me, and even now still flares it’s ugly head.
You know how the kids talk about “food babies” ? If I eat or drink a lot, and see my food baby in the mirror or shower, it can take me back. I have to take calming breaths and remind myself this too shall pass.
Literally, lol.
Have people take more photos. I’ve had to ask my husband to randomly take more of me so I can see myself as “others” see me. He forgets though. 🤦🏻♀️
