Before starting my journey, I had NO idea what pant size I was...maybe 26W? IDK. But I had a baby shower to go to the other week and had to buy jeans... I was "smaller" than I thought and grabbed a bunch of 18 pants but all were too big. I ended up getting two pairs of 16. Anyway... now those jeans are loose and I will be…

I had gotten to the point that I no longer could wear XXL and had to start shopping at stores that exclusively sell plus size clothing. Selection was terrible, the clothing was terribly put together, and insanely expensive! NOW, I can shop anywhere I want to again AND I can buy XL clothing and it fits me every time - I…

I love this so much!! Congrats!! I, too, have gotten to this point and I think it feels better than the actual change in clothing, weight, etc. Way to go!!

Way to go! Your hard work truly paid off and you look amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing. I am down 52lbs and I about another 80ish yet to go. Posts like this are what keeps me motivated and moving along in this lifestyle change/journey.

OMG I said this to my son last night while we were shopping when we walked past the security cam. It made me so happy!!

My tattoos are shifting back to their normal placement locations. I have knuckles again. I have elbows for the most part, again lol! My calves have a nice muscle tone to them again. I have ankles again. It is so crazy what 50lbs in weight loss has changed! Oh and I can run up the steps and not get winded!!

You look amazing!! Your hard work truly paid off. Did your insurance cover the tummy tuck by chance? I KNOW I am going to have a ton of skin left after I get to my goal weight and I am wondering if there is a way to make the skin removal/tummy tuck medically needed, because I think that is the only way they'll pay. Your…

AMAZING!! You are truly inspiring!!

This is AMAZING!! Way to go! I am 50lbs down myself since late June, with about 70ish more to go. And like you, I have gotten this far simply by being more active, going to the gym, and making smarter food choices. I love how much better I feel with this weight off - it is actually what keeps me coming back for more each…

Going to the doctor for a check in for the first time on Tuesday since I decided to lose weight (late June 2021) and hearing the nurse and doctor compliment both me on my progress. AND that my BP was totally in check 122/78!! Woohoo!!! 43lbs down, with about 80ish to go. It feels so darn good. Like you, I also had terrible…

Way to go!! You look amazing!!

Thank you so much for this! I totally needed this today. I've managed to lose 43lbs but have found myself stuck lately and I know it is late night binge eating. I really love this advice on how to handle cravings. I cannot thank you enough for this!!

Wow!! You look amazing and you are truly an inspiration. Way to go on your weight loss. I can imagine that you feel so much better now physically and mentally. I have 1/3 to my goal, currently at 43lbs down, and I know how much that has helped me. You are a rock star!!

Congrats!! You are truly inspiring!!

Ahhh!! I'm having the same "problem" right now. It's a nice problem to have. Way to go!!

My clothing is getting way too big and I am fitting in clothing that I havent been able to fit for YEARS! I went from an XXL in yoga pants (busting out of them) to an XL and they are a perfect fit (for now!). It's kinda cool having an old/new wardobe. I cannot wait until I cannot fit anything I have here any longer and I…

LOL!! I was just complaining this weekend to my husband that I am always so cold anymore. Between 42lbs of weight loss and controlling my BP, I have a feeling this winter is going to be a cold one for me, for the first time in a long while!

Wow! Your story is truly inspiring!! Like you, I was working full time and going to school to finish my degree and totally let my weight go. I got to 296 (I was 98lbs before I had my 1st son... talk about tripling my size!). I have since lost 41 pounds and have a bit to go yet. But I would love to connect with you. I need…

You look amazing! Way to go!!

Way to go!

Way to go!! That is awesome!!

Wow!! Way to go. You look amazing!!

Wow!! Great job! I don't know you, but I am super proud of you!! Way to go!

Way to go!! Your hard work is paying off and I am very happy for you!

My boy short panties look like boy short panties again when I wear them lol!!

Thank you for sharing your story. Your story is an inspiration and honestly, I think you have more in common with some of us than you realize. Hugs!!

Way to go! You look amazing and I can imagine that you feel so much better in many ways, physically and mentally.

My mini goal is to see better numbers on my labs this time around. I go in a few months and I hope losing a few pounds (still have 100+ to go) and going to the gym doing both cardio and strength training 5-6 days a week will help. I am currently on a low dose bp med that I would love to get off of, my triglycerides were…

Wow!! Great job!! I am super happy for you. You lost weight AND you look even younger now as well. What did you find worked for you? What was the time frame? I ask because I have a good 100+ pounds to lose and I am just at the very beginning of my journey. It really helps with motivation when talking to others that have…

Way to go! Your progress is truly amazing - not just in the pounds lost but also from the other health aspects. Like you, I struggle with weight related health issues and I look forward to the day that I see my progress pay off on a lab report (and be free of HBP meds). Sending you a friend request, if you don't mind. Your…
