    No sweat! Janu-ary was all about healthy eats again after, uh, some interesting food choices between April '21 and November '23   Down 13.5lbs already, but gotta tackle that 35+ beast next! Trying to hit 1lb a week by my (ugh) 40th at the end of the year.  Figuring this post will guilt me into staying on track, plus all the encouragement is a major plus!  Any tips or commiseration from the 40th birthday crew out there?

    this is my first time being consistent while being overweight my whole life. doing CICO/10k steps a day/and lifting 2-3 days a week. i see a small difference but it’s only a 10lb difference, when does the weight start to drop off? feeling discouraged :/

    (8 months). Fresh off a break up > this week.

    Congratulations since you embarked on Transformation Journey. 15 Lbs in 8 months is a significant accomplishment.

    OP breakups creates negative energy and chanalizing Negative Energy to Positive Energy through workout is the best meditation ever. Never self doubt.

    Keep posting, you can silence people with your success.

  18. 18 F/18/5’6 [221>195]=26 lbs


    I’ve been strength training for a year or so on and off but i recently started to care about my diet and that’s when i noticed weight loss. this is my progress so far and im hoping on going down to 170, my lowest weight i’ve been post puberty. I wish I had a better pic of when I was 220 but i hated the camera during that time. This is one of the only pictures I have at my HW.
