Phenomenal progress. Ridiculously inspiring.

How much I'd want it for others. I used to selfishly feel better about myself if others were overweight, but now that I'm getting stronger and the weight is coming down, I want everyone to feel empowered and happy in their bodies too.

This is STELLAR! Your arms and waist especially look amazing! And in less than 6 months, awesome.

You're doing it!! This post made me so happy!

This is incredibly inspiring! You look amaaaazing and you figured out how to make working out work for you. Nice to know you don't necessarily need to be a runner or do a full on training regimen (tho those obviously get great results too).

Im also starting back up these last few weeks after a months-long hiatus. But unlike when I lost over 20 lbs last summer, I'm struggling with motivation each day to eat less and work out this time around. Around 5'2" with 20 lbs to lose to be at goal in the mid 120s. Feel free to add me!

You are getting there! Such amazing progress. Took me 19 mos. PP to START. I'm also coming back to counting & working out from a break and trying to focus on the fact that I came back before it got out of hand, not that I took the time off.

Even with more progress to go, I've stopped dreading seeing people at events. A friend just got engaged and another was back in town for a night and all I thought was "yay, can't wait to see them" and not "ugh I am so ashamed to be seen at this size"

I haven't gotten debilitating stomach pains in the middle of the night for some time now. It used to happen regularly. I still eat rich foods, but I guess I was just eating too much quantity for my system to handle. Scary.

This is amazing. Also you look so happy in your afters. Loved hearing your story.

Another mom I was chatting with called me lean. Me?! Maybe she was just being polite, but I had to resist the urge to turn around and see if she was talking about someone behind me. I also ran another 8k. Doing it once was sweet, but going back out there and doing it again makes me feel like maybe this really is my new…

@TheBlizz35 you look so beautiful & that is basically my platonic ideal of an outfit.

Holy smokes! Amazing.

I ran an 8k! That is a first.

You did the scary part! And now you're 16lbs out of the hole. You've got the rest!

Love this!

You look beautiful! Inspiring me to get the next 10 done.

A nice woman at work said she didn't recognize me from the back and asked what I had done to lose the weight. Felt great!

Wow, awesome job.

9 lbs to normal BMI, 6lbs to 130s (my personal idea of "normal" for me). I also bailed on my workouts this week and my hard won baby muscles need my attention.

Damn! You look incredible!!

Last 10 lbs to normal BMI and just 7 until I'm in the 130s again. It feels so close but so far.

Yes you can!!!! Awesome job so far.

Oh man, that just makes it more impressive. But I know there are some lower cost mental health services out there (if that was the reason you left) that you should line up now while things are going well just in case it gets overwhelming again. Anything that makes it easier to reach for help in the moments when all you…

Add me -- diary open to friends.

Hey op, I started where you are (I'm a lot shorter too) and have lost 19lbs since early Aug just logging my food every day, shooting for 1200 cals but making room where life intervened with anniversaries, birthdays, etc. so long as I was at a deficit most days and not going over tdee except on rare occasions, and…

Are you me? Actually, you're ahead of me by a lb but I echo the relief at having found something that works.

This is a wonderful milestone -- it's so hard to get a handle on the mental health issues that drive bad physical habits. I hope this doesn't sound patronizing, but you should be incredibly proud of yourself.

My husband wanted to know what those weird lumps were when he grabbed my middle and I tensed. They're abs! I've never had defined ab muscles before, even if they are still mostly hidden beneath my remaining fat.

Wow, incredible loss. You look fab!
