Body conturing surgery post weight loss
I looked at the most recent pages, but didn't see this topic, so I thought I'd post. With the help of MFP, I have lost 160 lbs and have kept it off for the last two years. The problem is that, with that much weight loss, I have massive amounts of skin hanging off me. I'm getting a belt lipectomy and a breast lift/reduction…

I got out of an abusive relationship. I moved to a new city. I began a relationship with someone who had been my friend for…

Lovely NSVs
Just a two quick little NSVs: Over the holidays we had lots of family visiting, and my fiancée and I passed the camera back and forth a lot to document the festivities. As I looked through the photos last night, I had to stop and look at one that my fiancée had taken from our sunroom looking into the dining room. My…

Gooaaaaalll!
The original goal I chose when starting on MFP was chosen totally arbitrarily, and though I haven't reached that goal, I now pronounce myself done. My BMI is within the healthy range. I weigh now what I did in 8th grade. The amount of bones I have sticking out is just right. The collar bones, wrist and ankle bones stick…

Thoughts after 142 lb lost
I just had a realization. I have lost 142 lbs, that’s the equivalent of a whole adult! The human body really is an amazing thing. Now, as I run up a flight of stairs, or jog around my neighborhood, I find it amazing that I was even able to move around back when I weighed 329 lbs (because if a 142 lb person jumped on my…

10 stone (140 lbs) gone w/pictures.
This morning the scale tells me I've lost 140 lbs. So I've been at this for slightly over 15 months. I've been eating healthy (limiting processed foods, focusing on protein, fruit and veggies; and eating portions the size a human should be eating, rather than what a grizzly bear should be eating) and exercising (cardio,…

Nice NSV during bathtime.
So, about a year ago I discovered the need to find ways of pampering and rewarding myself that didn’t involve food. It was around this time that I found my love of soaking in the bath. The aromas of the salts, bubbles, or scented candles stimulate my senses (and vanilla candles don’t need to be worked off on the elliptical…

100+ lbs down w/pics (tall woman)
I have lost 114lbs, and I'm estimating that I have about 50 more to go. I'm posting progress pics roughly every 50 lbs, so here is my second set. First, a side-by-side face comparison between 329 lbs, my highest weight ever, and 214 lbs: Now full body shot. First, me at 329 lbs. Size 24 jeans were very tight on me, but I…

Some nice NSVs to open my eyes
I guess I’m still learning. I’ve been going at this for almost a year now, and I’m very close to hitting the 2/3 way mark. As of this morning, I have lost 97 lbs. The thing is, my original weight gain happened very quickly. Starting midway through my 17th year, I gained 150 lbs in a year and a half. Because of this rapid…

Photographic height/weight chart
Hi all, Many of us on our weight-loss journeys do not quite know what our goal/ideal weight is. I'm more interested in how I feel, and what clothes I can wear, but it would be nice to have a general weight target in mind. In researching this, I found a website that I think y'all might find useful. This person is collecting…

59lbs lost so far w/pictures!
Recently posted my story so far (and a couple NSVs), and lamented not having any good before pictures. Then I looked at my actual profile pic and thought "Wait a minute..." I looked on my computer and found the pictures taken of me that day, to see if any showed more than my face, and sure enough, there were. It was March…

My story (so far) and a couple NSVs
I've been using MFP since June, but have never posted here, so I thought I'd make a post to share my story, and a few NSVs that have happened recently. I joined MFP in June, but I have been working out since March, so I’ve been at this weight-loss thing for about seven and a half months. When I started working out I was at…
