I have a lot of weight to lose. I’m 5’ 9” and currently 352 lbs. would love to get to the 200-220 range. Heaviest, known weight 370 and was about 1.5 months back. Been really working hard walk 1-2 times a day and cutting back my carbs. As of a few months ago I found out I’m diabetic and have a fatty liver. I’m 30 I’m not…

Next week for me is continue school work and job hunt. With one interview on Tuesday

Hi everyone. 348 here. Gain 20 lbs in 2022 and 40 lbs in 2021. Looking to get ride of the 300s for good and maybe get to 285 this year. About the weight I was 2 years ago. Focusing on food and some exercise too. For the person that said making food is hard. Get an anti fatigue rug I have one at the sink and a longer one…

Hi lady! I’m also getting married in November on the 19th and have pcos too. I’m just became very serious about losing weight. Quit effing around with. Really watching what I eat and working out. So I can say it depends how long you have been doing it and what weight you are starting out :)

I would be down to join. Hit my highest (known) weight in my adult life, 306. I was shocked. I got started on things a bit later in the start of February down 20 lbs so far.

I also have depression and anxiety. I am on meds. To me meds are just like glasses, they help you see but they won't help you read a book if you won't pick it up. Anyway, I think I'm larger than you are. But walking outside is nice when it gets a little warmer. Slow is fine when you don’t have a lot of energy. Just take in…

Thanks for sharing!

Get it girl!

Whichever works. If I have extra calories the day before if not the next day. I’m a nightshifter and work 630p to 730a. So it gets pretty ticky then but I just make it work

It takes awhile to start noticing changes because we see ourselves everyday. Especially if you have been bigger for a good part of your life, it may take some time to see it. For me at my heaviest, I didn’t look in the mirror much. And then, when the scale started moving, I would look and still not like the image in front…

Night shift RN here. The struggle is real

I do this too. I sometimes see what my maintenance calories are and think about it that way. Like I just ate at maintenance for a day it’s okay and not get too hard on myself. Another tip, this may sound odd and likely not do-able but just something I have notice. My worse time was night time. Now that I live in a 2 story…

If you one to drink one and it’s only once a week do it. I drink about 1 a day and it’s totally fine. I think I could drink more just “treat” myself to about one a day

In the medical community Anorexia nervosa is the eating disorder. Which isn’t loss of appetite but avoiding food to prevent gaining weight. Where anorexia is loss of appetite and is different. You will see some medications have a side effect of anorexia which mean they cause loss of appetite not for you to have the eating…

People wanting to give their opinion or get my opinion more. Giving me their opinion- like I think you have lost too much weight even though I haven’t, that I ate too much/too little, or the I’m surprised you eat blank and lose weight type comments. Get my opinion- do you think I should this? Or what do you do to lose…

Hi 5’ 9” 285 pounds- 3x and 22 pants. I carry my weight very well people never believe me when I tell them my weight. Even doctors. Could be somewhat d/t my height. Best of luck to you :)

Hi hun. Maybe it’s a side effect of a Med or something? “Anorexia” can be loss of appetite not always the ED people think of; so if you look up your meds and maybe see if that’s a side effect. Or better yet talk to your medical professionals sounds like you have a couple good ones already. I think meal prepping might be a…

One way to cook veg is to cook Indian food. My bf is Indian and has turn me into a curry and all-things Indian lover :). People don’t notice that the dish doesn’t have meat because there’s so much flavor. A couple things to add protein to those types of dishes is when they call for cream change that to a Greek yogurt, also…

You look great. Thanks for sharing :)

You look awesome. Great job!! 💜

Hi hun. You have a bit more to lose than I do but I’m here you are looking for a friend. I lost weight once 6 years ago (profile/motivation photo). For the first time of my life (that I know of) I’m no longer in the high 200s. I always was able to cut back back a bit before getting to the 300s, this time not the case. I…

PCOS lady here. I’m an obese women in my mid 20s. I have noticed when I start eating right for about one month I will have a period when normally I don’t have any periods at all. Maybe 1 max a year. I just find it difficult to continue eating health. Would recommend talking to your doctor. Sometimes they want to dismiss…

Good tips here, adding seasoning really helps. As someone who never used to eat any veggies i'm working on it too. Good luck to you.

Set your goal at the 2 pounds, in the beginning you may lose a little more than two. But remember those weeks when the scale doesn't move much things are evening out. Good luck my friend, you got this :)

I'm sure it would work but it's not for me. I'm trying to change my lifestyle and I know for sure if I was able to do it for a short time it would be just that, a short time. Good luck

Night shift nurse here too. I have found bring snacks to keep in my locker helps. And I always try and pack a healthy lunch too. I know I like sweet things so I brought mini ice cream sandwiches for the freezer. I know if I don't have something sweet I will end up going to that cafe and getting something way worse. What…

Love this thread. Thanks for sharing your inspiring photos ladies :)

Weighing in every day or every other day helps me. Once I stop doing this I start to slip. Once I get down to let's say in your case 205 I know if the scale goes up to 210, I'm in trouble. I need to get refocused on doing the right thing. Data feels me see things are going well. I have given up before and I am back. We can…

Give me a massage... yes please :)
