Talking My 1 year weight-loss-iversary!
Just wanted to share that it was 1 year ago today that I decided to actively try to lose weight. It definitely wasn't my first try, and having regained so much weight, plus having had 2 babies since the regain, I was really down and discouraged.

It is a cliche, but the whole "1 year from now you'll be happy you started today" or however it goes, it's true.

Though my HW was 236 (December '11, ending pregnancy weight), my SW 1 year ago was 220, and it was ALLLLL me. I had gained weight after losing the initial weight I had lost post-baby. So. . .

SW 3/22/12: 220
CW 3/22/13: 139 (maintaining weight flux between 137-141)

Starting BMI: 35.5
Current BMI: 22.4

Starting Body Fat%: >44%
Current Body Fat%: ~23-25%

Starting pant size: 20 solid
Current pant size: 4s, 6s, 7s, 9s (depending on brand)

Starting shirt size: XL-XXL
Current shirt size : M

Starting bra size: 44DD
Current bra size: 36C (though the band is a little loose)

Starting shoe size: 9
Current shoe size 7-7.5

My waist is now the size that my thigh used to be (literally), actually smaller.

The difference physical ability is outrageous.


I hope that for anyone out there who is just starting that maybe my little story will help just a little in showing you how MUCH of a difference a year can make if you just keep going!

Thanks everyone!

That's especially sweet, evlislover!!! Thank you!

@Freelance - Calorie counting off and on. I can't stand to do it all the time. I've really never followed any plan. I went through random phases of trying to do lower carb, or eating "clean", but mainly just eating less worked well for me. Sometimes I do Intermittent Fasting. I can really never stick to anything for long, I get bored, but I like to try different things anyway.

So you lost over 80 pounds in a year? That's amazing. May I ask what eating plan you followed?

Happy Anniversary!!!!

It's people like you who inspire me to stay on track every day with food, exercise, and a positive attitude. What you have achieved is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself.

I love reading your posts here on 3FC and when I see your name on a reply, even if I am not interested in the thread per se, I always go to see what you wrote as you are one of the trusted members here on this forum.

Thanks so much for sharing all of the information that you did, you have no idea how helpful this is.

Congratulations!!!!
