1.) Tracking for over 100 days straight. 2.) Getting close to going up to belt hole #5 -- I started at belt hole #2. 3.) Needing to lose 2 more pounds this month, which will leave me back at the weight that I was at this time last summer. 4.) Being able to slowly ramp up activities after 2 months of physical therapy.

You've done such a fantastic job! That is incredible. My start size was a 22. I'm currently in a looser 20 but probably could squeeze into a tight 18. This is encouraging to see your results! I'm 22 lbs down and am hoping to get to around 70 lbs or more down -- I'd have to do the conversions. Keep it up!

In the immediate, I just worked up to belt hole #4 this week, after starting off on belt hole #1 or #2. I'd love to continue losing inches all-over so that things continue fitting looser. For a weight-related goal, I'd like to get down to or below the _70s by June 31, which would be 4.2 lbs (not comfortable listing my…

I'm processing a hard break-up right now. I thankfully was already 1 month into my first anti-depressants and 2 weeks into re-starting my fitness and wellness journey before being dumped 3 weeks ago. I'm proud to say that instead of binging like I normally do after a split, I immediately channeled my emotions into the gym…

I normally log as I go - it seems to work well for me now that I've been logging again for the last 6 weeks and now that I've been consistently logging for the last 31 days. I do eat a lot of the same foods, though, out of convenience and because I'm neurodivergent (autistic and ADHD), ha. I knew I'd be repeating basically…

This is fantastic progress! Your recomp has been excellent, because 41 lbs is A LOT. I think you look great currently, but I understand that you know yourself best!!! Keep up the good work!

100 Mile Cycling/Walking Goal for June Week One Total: 16.62 miles June 2 - 8.0 mile cycling June 4 - 8.62 mile cycling Week Two Total: 0 miles (skipped; not sure why...) June 11 - 3.15 mile walk June 12 - 3.50 mile walk June 14 - 10.0 mile cycling

Yasssss! I loveeee this so much!!!! Congratulations!

Glad you mentioned this. OP is wayyyy more active than I ever could be. That being said, I had COVID in January, followed by mono in March (Epstein-Barr for others that don't know). Between those two illnesses, already being immunocompromised, AND having chronic fatigue issues anyways, I'd bet money on this being a big…

Also bumping this thread. Minus a 2-month lapse when I changed jobs in 2019, I've been on Gabapentin for almost 4 years now for neuropathy pain, restless leg syndrome, full-body tremors, and insomnia. I take 900 mg nightly and now am fully dependent on it to get sleep. I've had too many life circumstances since I started…

Super proud of you! I started C25K again right before the 1st of the new year and I remember how week 1 was pure h3ll. Most days, I can get through my intervals, but once in a while, I can hardly get through 30-60 seconds, lol. I'm on W4D3 and I keep getting progressively slower to the point where my walk breaks are…

Two-part NSV, just as a heads up. At work, I can't accesses both of my managers' offices unless I go up this staircase with a wicked incline. Normally, it makes me feel like death going one way and I have had to mask sounding like I'm dying trying to catch my breath. Ever since I started Couch to 5K during Christmas week…

The first time I lost significant weight, it was in 2014. I was navigating an emotionally/mentally toxic and abusive relationship and I had just received a horrible health screening. In less than a year, I had lost 50 lbs through Couch to 5K/10K and lifting. I finally left the relationship as well. Flash-forward almost 6…

Super late to the game, lol, but I'm on day 5 of the challenge. Not a lot of people on MFP have done this! I've never had this much water in my entire life! I also have had some hurdles with food temptations this week, with family outings and such, but I've held strong! I've been out of my favorite coffee and flavored…

Holy hell!!! You look *phenomenal*! <3

Back when I was at my lowest weight of the 165 range, most people swore I looked like I was 140 or 150. I was fairly lean and muscular back then, which was awesome, but I was fairly weak. I remember still feeling pretty deflated after I had lost 50 lbs in 2014-2015. Back then, I remember feeling like I could have lost…

My partner and I just recently moved from a 2-bedroom townhouse to a 2-bedroom loft-style apartment. We definitely downsized our living spaces (no garage, small square feet, lower rent and taking over a sublease), but we were definitely able to get rid of a ton of old furniture, clothes, and nick-nacks that we simply…

I absolutely LOVE this!!! Congrats to you and your partner!

parkerpowerlift January Week 1 Weigh-In January 1, 2020 SW: 244 lbs January 8, 2020 CW: 245 lbs (fml)

Daily Post - 01/01/2020 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: 1.5 hours lifting (conventional deadlifts, t-bar rows, iso-rows, lat-pulldowns, pre-hab work) and a 10 minute slow stroll outside with my English bulldog. Daily Post - 01/02/2020 Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: None (yet)

We have similar goals! The smallest size I've ever been was a misses 10 in most everything, with one pair of 8s. I have since then gone up to a snug 16. Thankfully, my pants are starting to fit better again. I'd love to drop dress sizes again soon! When I had lost 50 lbs a few years ago, I was sitting around 175. Most of…

Hello everyone! My name is Sarah. I'm 26 and from the Midwest. I'm currently not married, but in a long-term relationship of 2+ years. I am a foster parent, a powerlifter, a college student, and gainfully employed full-time. This is my 2nd round of the Biggest Loser challenge on here. From November 2019 to today, I am down…

Sonbisshhh, I kinda went AWOL this last week on here, but I kept tracking consistently. I haven't made the best of choices eating-wise and I've seen a spike, so my last weigh-in of the year is at 244 lbs. I still am ultimately down 6 lbs from November, and my pants are starting to fit better on me! I will hope to be better…

Sunday, 12/22 Tracking: Yes Calories: Barely under Exercise: Yes, a 20-minute walk/scavenger hunt around a friend's neighborhood.

Height 5' 7 SW: 250 GW: 185 12/2: 243.6 12/6 - 241.4 12/9 - 242.6 12/16 -242.2 12/22 - 241.0 Today's weight is back up to 242 point something, because I had a high-sodium pasta last night for dinner. I just knew it'd get me. I'll have to take measurements later today and see if anything changed.

Dec Week 4 SW: 250 lbs PW: 242.2 CW: 241.0 I’m a day early with weighing in and this was after I already ate breakfast. Kind of annoyed at myself because I have a feeling the number would have been lower had I remembered to weigh in earlier this morning. But I’m just glad to see it slowly going downward again.

December 18 Check-In Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No December 19 Check-In Track: Yes Calories: Over...ugh. Stressful day and eating too many holiday treats at work. Exercise: No

Posting in here to bump this thread. How are you holding up, @averysjourney ?

There is absolutely NO way I could get away with that. Hahaha. I wear a Victoria's Secret high-impact bra and it STILL isn't enough support for me. I normally wear a D40 for bras. With my sports bra, it is a DD40 and I still have issues running (tested said bra out while running last night). I honestly think I'll need to…

I unfortunately haven’t started taking progress photos yet, ugh. But I went back to a photo of me from August 2019 to a photo of today. I still see inflammation and puff in my face, but I think it’s slowly going down. Long road to go. I keep seeing FB memories of me when I was almost 80 lbs lighter. 😩
