CONGRATULATIONS!!! tremendous work.

way to go!!

clocked in at 223 this morning, down from 400 on 7/5/2019. obviously it has been harder to lose recently since there's not as much of me as there once was, but looking in the mirror and seeing a jawline for the first time in many many years feels great. have started upping my activity from just walking to include runs…

I've actually been eating more calories, the more weight that i've lost as i've increased my activity. when i first started out, and for about the first 130-140 lbs that i lost, i was probably eating 1300-1400 calories a day. the last 30-40 i've lost since then, i've been eating closer to 1600-1800 calories a day on…

you got this. thank you for opening up as it allows others to feel comfortable to do the same. good luck in your journey and know that every day won't be easy, but each day you will feel better than the last if you are doing the right things to progress towards a life-long goal of being healthy!

i was in the same position almost a year ago now, it does seem overwhelming at first. but little changes off the bat can make a huge difference! there is still room for enjoyment along the way. i agree with what's been said above about getting a food scale, being honest with your logging, and moving more! it doesn't have…

wonderful!!

started in first week of July 2019 at 400 lbs, this was taken first week of December 2019 at 299 lbs! I'm down to 259 now, looking to lose another 60+ more! gonna post again maybe once i get to 150 down. love the support this place has given me!

glad i found this group! thanks for creating and maintaining!

been struggling with the scale lately. feel like i have grown obsessed with it at recent moments - i would say 50% of the week im weighing myself at night and then again in the morning. i only log MFP updates on monday mornings. it's tough when my mindset is wanting to see loss every day, i've been doing better eating more…

great points made by both of you! it is great to be part of the community here and know you are not alone in your journey!

brussels sprouts when cooked right are a saving grace. i used to turn my nose up at them but now they are basically candy with a bit of olive oil and garlic in the pan! also had cauliflower risotto over the holidays, dying to try it again!

I can agree with you on the booths - being able to sit comfortably in them is extremely refreshing. Being lighter gives you that edge to move with a bit more speed with a bit less labor, ain't nothing wrong with that! Personally I like the feeling of being able to move through a larger crowd more comfortably, especially if…

Keith! that's great progress man. from my experience, the weight FLEW off in the beginning and i started right around where you did. I wasn't really working out during those weeks either, just trying to hit 10,000 steps a day. i wouldn't worry, but it seems like you are trying to make changes that will be sustainable. I…

12 flavor gummy bears! since i cut out candy july of last year, i've had 5-6 dreams where i've been crushing candy...luckily just in my dreams lol

you're doing great! i think walking is a great way to keep your mind at ease and still a great way to get out and get your heart rate up a bit. also a nice change up since you are doing HIIT a few times a week.

Hey Novus - yup, I am seeing my GP about every 3 months and getting blood work done each time, so far so good. Another checkup in 2 weeks. The weight loss has slowed from the 4-7 lbs a week and is now generally around 2-4 lbs a week. I had introduced some light weight training, high reps, and the elliptical too. Most of my…

In a weight loss competition with a guy at work - the goal is to see who can get to 250 first (my overall goal is 200 starting from 400 last July). Main reason for the competition is so the guy I am competing against can get to 250 so he can get his ankle replacement surgery in time to recover for his daughter's wedding in…

congrats to everyone on their success so far! i started at 400 in the beginning of july, and crossed into triple digits down last week, and currently weigh 291! my goal by 12/31/2020 is to get to 200. keto/intermittent fasting/portion control and walking have been my best friends. have not touched sweets, fried food,…

Merph that is awesome man. can't wait to be in the 2's myself...i am down 86 lbs from July 5 putting me at 314 as of this morning.

Hi all. Matt here. Back in July, I had a bit of a scare when I worked out for 30 mins on the elliptical and decided I needed to get back in shape and fast, I didn't want to die at the age of 28. Luckily, my past EKG's have been solid, blood sugar and cholesterol levels were good, but have been dealing with some pretty bad…
