Success is possible ⬇️83.7 lbs
I was going to wait until I reached my 100 lb loss milestone, or even my final goal milestone, to post these photos. I tend to lose track of the fact I've accomplished a big goal by losing 83.7 lbs and maintained that loss for almost a year and instead focus more on how much more I have to lose. I'm sure I'm not the only…

What's for lunch today?
Just curious what everyone's having for lunch? New lunch ideas are always welcome! Today I had a spinach salad with roast turkey, strawberries, blueberries and poppyseed dressing. I also had a cup of homemade broccoli soup!

How do you measure success?
I've really been trying to focus on all of the positive changes I've been making, no matter how big or small, during this life transformation. A year ago I would have beat myself down because I thought success was reflected only in the numbers on my scale or size of my clothes. Well, I must say success is so much more!…

Goal of 61lbs.....down 63.6! Woo!
Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that I reach my first big weight loss goal of 61 pounds! I usually weigh-in the last Friday of every month, but I've been struggling a bit lately the past month or so, and felt like I needed a kick in the pants to get refocused. So this morning, I went to the clinic (where I get weighed)…

Most recent NSV?
Hey everyone. So I just finished work for the day (I'm a health inspector) and I had to climb a ladder to access a drinking water treatment system. I had to do this same thing at the same facility just over a year ago, and man was it hard last year. I've lost almost 60 pounds, and I must say it was so much easier climbing…

Down 53 lbs!
I wasn't going to post until I lost 100 lbs., but I'm really excited that I am more than halfway to reaching that big goal! I am proud of the changes that I've made, and the direction my life is going because of it. Eating was my coping mechanism for a long time, and it was easy to keep eating and hide to the point of…

Monday NSV
Hey everyone. So if you're anything like me you loathe Monday morning! So to start this day on a positive note, I wanted to hear what everyone's NSVs are for today. Mine is having done 25 minutes straight on my exercise bike. Hard to believe I started at only 5 minutes a few months ago!

Shedding the negative self image
Despite joining MFP in 2010, I didn't start using it consistently until April 2014. Since then, I have managed to lose 37 lbs, and should reach my first "big goal" of 60 lbs by January 1, 2014. My end goal is to lose 161 lbs. I'm not sure what's different this time around, but the journey has been relatively easy.…

When did people notice your loss?
Hi everyone. For those with 100+ more pounds to lose, when did others start commenting on your results? I have 150 lbs to lose, and had a 10 lb loss on the scale. I notice it in my thighs and my stomach is shrinking in. I'm looking forward to when others will see my hard work paying off. I totally get that it will take…

What non-scale victory you most looking forward to?
Hi everyone. I am on this journey primarily for health reasons. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say I am excited to be back in regular sized clothing. The non-scale victory I am most looking forward to right now is being able to fit comfortably in an airplane seat and not require the belt extender. Especially since my…

anyone else with sleep apnea?
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea in January of this year. The diagnosis has literally saved my life. I'm using a full face mask and treatment has been really successful for me. The diagnoses has also answered so many questions and concenrns I've had about my health the past 4 years. I was…

I am proud of myself for getting up an extra 30 minutes in the morning to do my workout for 9 days straight!
