Absolutely wonderful. You have done fantastic at this. Congrats.
I once weighed 308 pounds. Right now I am 150 pounds. According to My Fitness Pal I have lost 133 pounds because I restarted my diet on Jan 3 2022.3 -
I am beyond happy for you. I just got back on here a few minutes ago after being gone for many years. Almost 7. I am 522 pounds. I can walk but not for long periods of time. I hope to be where you are.6

One day at a time, you have made great progress! It is all about not ever giving up, if you trip as I do and eat bad one meal / day get right back on and you will see it is going to be ok.
Great story, can't wait to see before and after pic...:)1 -

Sure! I started off halving my portions before I even started exercising. I didn't cut out fast food all together because it was so addicting, but I ordered what I usually got then halved it. After a month of doing that I lost about 10 pounds, did the same thing next month but slowly cut out fast food and cooked for myself. Three months passed and I lost a total of 30 pounds. I platued for a few months until January and then the weight started falling off again. It was steady until April and as I started doing slow walks and building up to two miles it's falling off even more.
Start slow and soon you'll start picking up momentum!!!4 -

@Daeygur ,, I LOVE YOUR STORY!! I started at 288 lbs and am now at 171 GONE 117!! It was not easy at all! Not in the least. At 288 I was 97% of the time using a power chair, walking was a HUGE STRUGGLE and my back hurt severely!! I've been around the 170ish to 180 and for a bit 212 lbs mark on and off since 2018 (Brain surgery in 2018 threw me off). In 2019 I felt so well I started to even work for the first time since 1996!!! I felt AWESOME!! Speed forward to August of 2020 I felt short of breath walking, by December I knew something wasn't right. In Jan I ended up in the hospital overnight in February I found out in congestive heart failure, and now add in chronic kidney disease. BUT!! I am so HAPPY I have lost 117 lbs!! My body is still AMAZING with ALL I can do that I could NOT do at 288 lbs!! Your story is inspirational!! WTG WTG WTG!!!
Here on MFP I help to recruit now for a team that has helped me to develop healthy goals for life. It's pretty to actually lose weight (once we decide to really do it) but are we making it into a lifestyle forever? That hit me so hard, this challenge (team/group) sure does me do that.
It's the 2023 Summer 5% Challenge, where members have support from each other. It's a great group/team. If anyone reading this is interested, here's the link:
After you hit JOIN PLEASE PICK a team below (we sign up on this team, it's the main page, and pick a smaller team so the leaders and ourselves can (if you have the time it is NOT necessary to do this) support each other.
