First NSV would have to be getting accepted to my chosen program for school! But in the process of packing I tried on about 5 pairs of pants that used to fit me before I gained the extra weight...and they fit. I honestly couldn't believe it was real so I tried them all on twice. And now today, a bathing suit I bought the…

It's great to hear stories from people who've kept the weight off! Way to go! :smile:

I'm also on Mirena (however my weight gain was due to good ol' fashioned over eating and not moving) and so far using MyFitnessPal I've lost 31 lbs and counting. The beginning is so hard - it's like being at the base of Everest and looking up; so far to go and you know the way won't be easy, but it will change your life.…

I guess I've been preconditioned to fear running, so literally every time I go for a run I have butterflies in my stomach and feel sick. But I love the way it makes me feel when I get into it and how I feel afterwards. I'm hoping that over time I'll get over the feeling of dread pre run haha!

So pleased I read this thread! All the posts were both relatable and encouraging. It's nice to know that people who have felt the same way have been successful in their weight loss/fitness journey.

I was diagnosed about 3 years ago! I haven't had any problems losing weight thus far, but I've only just begun so time will tell.

Your success is truly amazing, and your story is inspirational. Congratulations on all you've achieved so far and I wish you the best of luck on the rest of your journey! :)

What a transformation and inspiration, congratulations on all your hard work! :)

As a forward (loosehead prop, specifically) you basically have to haul *kitten* across the field to get to any sort of ruck/maul situation, so definitely need to work on sprints. Looks like I'll be Youtubing some new things tonight! Thanks everyone! :)

I still have the scale I bought when I was doing Weight Watchers. It's a flat scale, but you have the option of "zeroing out" whatever you use to hold the food you are weighing (bowls and plates) so you get the true food measurement. It was 28$ when I bought it and I love it. It will give you different measurements as well…

Hey there! Sent you a friend request! We can do this! :)

22 year old here! First day using MFP and I'm liking the app so far! I've lost weight in the past but struggled with keeping it off. After a major weight gain over the last 2-3 years I'm determined to get it off so I'll have more energy and live a bit longer haha! Feel free to friend me, we're all in this together! :)
