in Success Stories
Today I weigh 250 lbs (if you don't know I started at 720 years ago)
Today I can wear a size 38/32 pants from old navy and most other places
Today I can wear xl size t shirts and button ups and they are loose on me

I can't remember EVER seeing that number on a scale or even close. I figure I was born 300lbs. In high school I wore 4xl shirts and 56+ waist pants…

These are just three of the things I literally dreamed about my whole life…. Taking off my fat suit and being able to fit in…

Only bad news here is I still feel fat, and at 250 lbs 6'3 I am obese still.. I am going to lose at least another 30 lbs over the next few months, I just hope at some point my perspective changes.

All in all, today was a good day.

    Thank you for posting. I sometimes find myself getting discouraged because I'm still over 400 and I'm busting my *kitten*. I think I see changes in the mirror but nothing seems to be actually changing, and I get to think much like you did, that I was born to be this way perhaps, and just have to accept it. It's good to know that there are people around my height that have managed it. Congrats :)

    What you have accomplished is nothing short of a miracle! You quite literally have saved your own life! Stand tall and be VERY proud of yourself and all your tremendous work. I can tell you that from a medical perspective people who weigh what you did most often never lose the weight and often die from it's complications. You are A STAR, my friend!!!:flowerforyou:
