In progress - female 5'4 105 pounds lost, 40 to go
The first photo is of me before. I don't think I was quite to my heaviest, but it was within spitting distance. This took me years, not a quick change at all. I admire the people that have lost a ton of weight really quickly, and that was my goal, but it took me a long time to make the changes I needed to. Before - about…

Limited strength/flexibility progress - trying to overcome this
A little background about me: I'm 38, female, and was always overweight or obese. At 29, I got to about 310 and that was when I started making changes (and sticking with them). I have lost over 110 pounds, but still have more to lose. I have been doing Crossfit for a couple of years. During that time, there were months…

Unexpected NSV!
I recently flew across the country and, for the first time in five years, I could not avoid going into the airplane bathroom. It was a lot different from the last time I was in one. At first, I thought that they must just be making the bathrooms bigger, but I don't think that was it. It was not at all tight in there. It…

Lunch while out - any suggestions?
I have been pretty good about packing a lunch to bring with me, but some days I need to eat out and I am looking for ideas that don't take too long and are readily available. Do you have certain things you pick up from a deli or 7-11 or Wendy's or some other chain? If possible, I would like it to be: * 400 calories, give…

Kind of a weird NSV
I've lost about 105 pounds from my heaviest weight over the past several years with lots of time just maintaining. I lost most of it when I had moved to another state. Now that I am back and running into old friends and acquaintances, they don't recognize me. Even my best friend's Mom! At first I was kind of offended and…

Totally embarrassing moment
I am so mortified that this happened. I was doing some burpees at my Crossfit box and my (super oversized) t shirt must have caught a breeze from a fan and flipped up. Anyone near me would have seen my naked back and my bra strap. I can only hope that they didn't see me from the side. No one said anything, but there is no…

NSV
Since the beginning of February, I have been pretty dedicated to working out and eating healthier, but I haven't seen a lot of progress on the scale, only about 10 pounds. Last week I was pretty frustrated but I was determined not to give up. This morning, I tried on a pair of pants that I haven't worn since 2009 and they…

Hi everyone - kind of new here
I'm a woman who just hit the dreaded 3-5 and I have about 70 lbs to lose to get to my ideal weight, after losing about 80 pounds over the past few years. I've been really motivated and committed thanks to the awesome example of one of my friends (who unfortunately doesn't live near me anymore). I'd love to have some MFP…
