Thank you all for your input

I yoyoed all over the place. I had gotten to 270 and lost about 40 pounds and then from 230 ballooned to 310

Thank you! I just used the my fitness pal recommended calorie goal and started with that. I’ve tweaked it since as I’ve gotten to know what my body needs. I started at 1800 and now I eat about 1500-1700 a day. I do crossfit any where from 4-6 days a week

I do crossfit 4-6 days a week

Thank you! Congrats on your amazing progress! You are headed in the right direction, keep up the great work!!!

Thank y’all so much!

Thank you everyone!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you! 5’ 6”.... Yes they are kept for pictures only! Too loose to wear for a workout! Here is a picture of me stretching them larger

Once I lose maybe another 40-50 lbs my next set of goals will be to learn how to maintain and live the rest of my life healthy. Also, to continue progressing in crossfit and building more strength. And thank you so much!

You can do it!!! And 10 months will fly by!!! Good luck and stay strong

Congrats on your success!!! I love/hate the cardio aspect of crossfit but I definitely feel like it's something I need. I'm sure at some point I will want to focus more on building muscle

Yep! There's quite a few at my gym and I've seen even older in videos online. Crossfit is truly scaleable to anyone at any age and any level of fitness. I have a friend who is wheel chair bound who has been going to crossfit for the past couple months and she loves it. It's literally for anyone who wants to improve their…

Thank you! Keep at it! Give it a month or so before you decide it's not for you! I finished last almost every workout and still finish last sometimes. But I have made MAJOR progress! The only person you are truly competing against is yourself!

Definitely try it out and see if it's for you! It's so worth it!!

Awesome! Congrats on your progress!

You definitely have crossfit in the U.K.! Crossfit is a high intensity fitness program that includes moves from many different types of sports and exercises. Weightlifting, gymnastics, rowing, running, etc... it's all about functional fitness. It's fun and challenging and one of my very favorite parts about it is the…

Thanks y'all!

Thank you! They definitely don't hold me in for workouts anymore. I like using them for before and after pictures though :)

Thank you! My stomach isn't completely flat. I definitely still have a ways to go! And I'm sure I will have some loose skin but I'm 100% ok with that. Being happy and healthy is my goal and I know I'll still look way better! Good luck to you on your journey! You can do it!

Great job on your weight loss so far! I have about 50ish to go! Keep up the good work

Crossfit (lots of lifting) and clean eating. Determined to bulk up as I melt the rest of this fat off of me

Hey there. I have pcos and have struggled with weightloss my whole life. I was up to 310 when I decided I had to change my life. I cut out gluten, dairy, added sugar... the weight started falling off and my blood sugars feel way more stable. I eat lower carb and therefore not craving the carbs like I use to. I track all my…

It's an exercise program that focuses on functional movements. It's got a lot of cardio, rowing, gymnastics, and weight lifting. There is crossfit gyms and they have schedualed class times. There are coaches watching over the class and helping with form and cheering you on. The community is awesome as well, very tight knit…

That's awesome! Everyone starts somewhere. Almost 20 lbs! That's amazing, keep up the great work!

I joined at 270! You don't have to wait to join if you don't want to. All the workouts can be scaled and the community is so positive and supportive. I know crossfit has helped me stay on track as well because I'm wanting to eat to nourish and fuel my body for my workouts. Congrats on deciding to change your life! Keep up…

A lot had happened in my life. The ending of a horrible relationship, my grandpa and aunt passing away. I went into a depression for a while. I went to the doctor on January 10th of this year and when I got on the scale it said 310 lbs. I couldn't believe my eyes, I was over 300. I decided there and then that it was time…

I will send you a message this evening
