I lost 120 lbs from 2017-2018. I was 37-38 years old. It's been over 4 years. Sorry not 5! LOL Maintenance has been rougher than losing by far. A constant struggle. I was overexercising to keep the weight off before I got Covid in 2020. I had lung damage from it, now I cannot work out the way I did before in terms of…

Congrats!!!

Great work!!

I lost nearly 120 lbs and kicked Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension. I just got infected and tested positive for Covid 19 last week. I am healthier and smaller now that I was at 12 years old. I am at the peak of my health and fitness right now. Every medical professional I have talked to about this said if I had not gotten…

Congrats!! Age has so little to do with things, truly.

I was 37. I was nearly 300 lbs. I was nearly out of my size 24 pants. My doctor was about to prescribe insulin for my Type 2 Diabetes that was getting worse. I felt diseased, monstrous. I walked stairs with a cane. One night in July of 2017, I just had enough. I had lost weight before, I knew it was going to take a high…

Wonderful to see! Keep up the hard work!!

CONGRATS!! Keep up the good work, the worthwhile work!

Boobs. Entirely. Not that I had much to start with, but I am down to nothing. No regrets, though! LOL I also lost nearly 2 shoe sizes and some width off my feet. Weird!

Congrats!

Blessings to you in this new (and hopefully much better) stage of your life. <3

Obese from age 4 until 37. Brutal existence. Bullied terribly, neglected socially. My adoptive parents were VERY negligent and abusive. I had no idea how to eat, and barely got exercise. I KNEW I was unhealthy all along, but didn't have the spoons (energy) to manage my own self (various mental illnesses and assorted…

Just turned 40, and I am open to new friends in my age range! Anyone is free to check out my profile and see if you like what I put out. :-)

Congrats!!

Congratulations!!

I aim for 6 days of fitness intervals a week, in a variety of cardio and resistance work. Been at it since 2017 consistently, and log it all. Studying to become a Certified Personal trainer, so it'd be nice to have more fitness-centric friends! :-) Anyone is free to send a friend request!

Caffeine is a stimulant, and different people react differently to it. Some are sensitive to it, some aren't. Some people build up tolerances, some don't. I have a mental health diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, plus had been an insomniac most of my life. Out of curiosity this year, I stopped caffeine after noon.…

Distraction. Distraction and discipline. Nothing else works for me. It also helps to know if I am emotionally craving something, or actually need something in the food. I was taught by a doctor that if the craving comes on sudden and hard, it's emotional or boredom. If it comes on slowly, and doesn't go away for days or…

Congrats to you both!! I wish you guys a future of health, hoops, and happiness. <3 Here's mine. As of today, 116 lbs, 16 sizes, high blood pressure, and Type 2 Diabetes gone! Anything can happen with hard work and discipline, baby! LOL

Down 116 lbs. in a little over 2 years. Feel free to check out my profile and see if I could be of help and support. :-) Same goes for anyone!

If you have an issue with lactose, Isopure's Zero Carb and Low Carb powders are lactose-free. I severe Gastritis that is aggravated by lactose, and those two powders have never given me an issue. Also, it's cheaper than pea and plant-based proteins, which is absolutely essential for me because POOR. LOL

I lost 116, and am now in maintenance, and MAN, is it a whole other ballgame! I definitely could use some others, like you, who are trying not to backslide. You (and anyone) is free to check out my profile and see if we would get along well on here. :-)

5'6", large German farming build. I lost 115 lbs, and because of my frame, excess skin, and goal to be thick and muscular and not thin, I am happy between 165-170. Looking to put on more muscle over time, so I may go up a bit. There's no ideal for any frame/height, and I feel bad for anyone who subscribes to ideals. Just…

Kiwis! WITH SKIN ON. That's where the fiber is. Suck it up and eat the hair if you have to!! LOL

I lost 115 lbs, and yes, I am looking more my age now than ever. I held a lot of fat in my face and under my chin, and the skin just couldn't bounce back. Creases are showing more now because less filler. I'm the healthiest I have ever been, my skin is so much healthier, and I moisturize and hydrate very well, but the…

That is TOO COOL. Congrats!!

I have the same mental and behavioral issues you listed. For me, it boils down to a simple statement- you gotta want to be healthier and better more than the food and the laziness. What do you want more? TRULY. You may have to ask yourself this question 100x a day in order to build better habits through repetition and good…

I've had success in losing weight and may be helpful to you. Feel free to check out my profile and see if you're interested. :-) Same goes for anyone.
