I started January 11th, 2017 at 43 years old and 260 lbs and by September 15, 2017 I reached 159.8 lbs. Just over 100 lbs. loss in 8 months and 4 days. I just changed what and how much I ate and I got in the gym. From September of 2017 until July 31st, 2018 (10 months) I have been in maintenance averaging 159 to 165. On…

Congratulations!! Your hard work is paying off and yes, it is completely believable!! I started my new lifestyle on January 11th, 2017 and by September 15, 2017 (8 months and 4 days) I was down more than 100 lbs. I didn't cut out any specific foods or participate in IF. I changed what and how much I ate and got up off my…

Just wanted to say... You got this! Y'all can do it!! Set goals... short ones and your long term. Then find your focus and stick with it. There will be hard days. BUT if you stay the course, you'll be so glad you did!! It really is all about eating healthier and appropriate portions and moving more. I highly recommend each…

Great advice here already and they are dead on with the digital food scale. It makes a world of difference. I am sure you will see your weight shift soon. I started on my healthier lifestyle January 11th, 2017 and lost just over 100 lbs in 8 months and 4 days. I did witness a plateau during that period though... it lasted…

I second the Greek Yogurt. I buy Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt and you can get 12 g of Protein in one cup and the sugar is typically only 7 g. I also will have Eggbeaters some morning making scrambled eggs or an omelet adding leftover grilled chicken (more protein) and a little cheese.

Dannon Light & Fit Greek is my favorite now. Low in sugar, great in taste. I add 5grams of Kind Peanut Butter Granola most days and that gives it a little crunch. :) There is a new Pumpkin Pie flavor that has just hit shelves here and I LOVE it!! Two of my other favorite flavors in this variety is the Apple Pie and Vanilla…

BUT... you are back!! That is what counts! Now what matters most is where you go from here. I joined MFP in January of 2017. MFP became part of my daily life. It is a great tool and it works if you utilize it... including the social aspect. Add friends that will encourage and inspire you. Know that there are some members…

Looks like I am with the majority in the 5 lb range. I have been in maintenance since Sept of last year after losing more than 100 lbs in 8 months and just started working toward another loss. It seems that 2 lbs might be too small to gauge properly... especially for females with the way our weight fluctuates. However, we…
-
The social aspect helps so much!! You sound very determined. Keep your focus, set goals and take progress pictures. You’ll reach your weight loss goal no question.
-
You’re correct, on all accounts. I cannot speak for anyone else, but my reply back to you wasn’t anything more than trying to relate and encourage. It seems like you feel like you didn’t get the replies and reactions you hoped for. Remember the written/typed word has no tone. Many of us have already walked the journey and…
-
Better than me. I never did measurements... even to this day. I went solely on my weight, not inches. I would love to know what I lost in inches!! I just WISH I had taken pictures on DAY 1. I was already down almost 14 lbs before I took my first progress picture. Take the pictures now if you haven't already. You will be…
-
Great job!! That ONE MORE TIME paid off and then some!! Congratulations!!
-
You look wonderful!! You can certainly see you sporting your self confidence in the most recent picture! You worked hard and your pay off shows!! Congratulations!!!
-
These picture you have taken may not be desirable to you... but they are HUGE for you reaching your Goal. Progress pictures will help drive you... motivate you... push you!!! You don't have to share them with anyone... however, when you reach goal... You just might surprise yourself and WANT to share them. I am a believer…
-
You ladies can do this!! Set a short term goal. Keep your focus and push every single day. I am much older than both of you (I will be 45 this year) and last year I lost more than 100 lbs in 8 months and 4 days. I literally just got off the couch, moved more, ate healthier and learned portion control. MFP is a GREAT tool…

@dhiammarath , Thank you for such kind words. I really appreciate them more than I can say. @bigmanatee , Thank you and I sure will. I think it is important for others to see that it is a lifestyle change and it is possible to maintain. @adotbaby , Thank you!! Means a lot! @saresimsr36 , I do have some loose skin, but it…

@SuesNewImage, My self esteem is much better, yes. It has been a process though. Losing that much weight changes you physically and the mental part has to play catch up. I still have days... but I probably always will. I was obese for more than 23 years. My oldest son will be 24 in October and last year was the first time…
-
Super loss!!! You look great!! Congratulations!!
-
Take progress pictures... lots of them. Even ones that you might not want to share with others... they will be valuable when the scale might not be giving you the results you desire. A pictures shows change. Make a list... I have a list called "I Never Would Have... Before Losing Weight" For example, I remember when I lost…
-
Thank you, @NewLIFEstyle4ME ~ I appreciate that compliment. I share my updates in hope that my story will show someone who is struggling or questioning themselves that they can also do it too!!
-
It has been almost a year since I lost more than 100 lbs. September 15th will make 1 year since I have been in maintenance. I like to come and post updated pictures in hopes to inspire others. In January of 2017 I was beginning to wheeze (not even being sick) when I laid down at night. Today, I ran 4 miles. Not…
-
Thank you!! Once I got started and seeing the results, I just wanted to see more results. Almost a year now since I lost that weight. Have done decent maintaining. It can be difficult, but it is so worth it.
-
Way to go on taking the first step toward a new healthier lifestyle. Last year I lost more than 100 lbs in 8 months and 4 days. Set short term goals as well as your long term goal. Take frequent progress pictures... even if you are the only one to see them. Make sure to take a picture now.... you want something to compare…
