I don't really have a lot of people to share my success with irl, so I thought I'd share it here. Since October, I have gone from 265lbs to 225lbs. I still have a long way to go and still don't love what I see in the mirror, but I am much happier and feel physically healthier. I can walk longer distances, climb the stairs to my apartment easier, and generally have more energy. Just wanted to celebrate this somewhere :)

    I'll be around the point where you started in 1 or 2 more weeks. I started with 143kg (315lbs) and lost 20kg (44lbs) since the same time last year.
    Keep going!

    When you lose fast the mirror and the brain takes a while to catch up!
    You will actually laugh about it in a few years.
    Like the times you will think you can't fit to walk past someone... when you can!

    Awesome job so far!
    Keep going!

    And the health benefits? THAT'S what's this is all about and they're truly AWESOME!

    It is a big deal, losing that much weight and being on your way to a more healthy you. so glad you shared.. it inspires the rest of us. Don't put yourself down because you don't look like some crazy perfect image you hold in your mind. We all do that silly thing. Bottom line, you've shed weight and are starting to realize the active full life you deserve and will have.
