    I'm a little upset that I've put in very little effort this whole year. Allowing little disturbances in schedule completely wreck attempts to cut and continue eating maintenance instead. Didn't start the gym routine up until the beginning of July but at least that's going again. Need diet to fall in line now

    folks I need some meal ideas, specifically things I can bring to work and eat at my desk. I have a microwave and fridge at work at my disposal.

    One of the trainerbros at my gym said he makes a big meat loaf and eats portions of it every day, so I might try that first. But if anyone has any ideas please share.

    Holy shit eating did not go well today. I've been putting in my work on my workouts, but gdi. Got home today from class and just devoured shit. Wasn't even bad shit; just the amount I devoured. Literally opened the whey container and ate 6 scoops dry while my 2 chicken breasts were cooking. Then had some small sandwich hoagies on the counter my uncle left, so I devoured 2 of those. Made 2 potatoes, and shit was taking too long to cook so I had another 3 scoops of whey, then I ate the potatoes @.@

    Had an uncontrollable urge to eat whatever was around. Almost ate dry rice.

    Had a kind of rough few weeks. I'm amazed I haven't gained everything back that I'd lost, but even after going on vacation and eating total crap almost the entire time and being lazy for two weeks, I still managed to lose one pound. Could have done more, but I'm actually pleased I didn't gain back.

    Total lost at this point is 12 lbs. Boyfriend and I are going to start a walk/run regimen together this Tuesday, 3 times a week. Having a workout buddy is going to help me immensely.

    Also, because it's been a long time since I've felt comfortable:

    You look like you lost more than just twelve pounds. Keep up the good work.

    Today for the first time my drivers license isn't a total lie. Weighed in at 255 this morning. I haven't been this low in at least ten years.

    You look great Akys! love the swimsuit very beautiful on you. We went on vacation and before that a few days was running a 101 fever so dropped some pounds because of non eating. Spent 5 days at Disneyland and are my heart out lol. Only gained about five pounds and been battling time of month issues so back to the gym tomorrow. I'm not disappointed with myself because life isn't always perfect and being okay with non perfect eating days occasionally has helped my outlook. I'm still at about 34 lbs lost so hopefully next week more progress

    Alright, we got another month, can definitely get the body fat down lower

    Spoiler: show





    Did hit my official 4 years of working out though, so to give reference, started here in July 2010
    Spoiler: show


    Edit: couple from last week, friend finally got around to sending them. She's been making gains, too

    From 2 and a half years ago (doing charity habitat for humanity) to a couple weeks ago. I used to train her when she lived in FL, didn't think she'd actually keep up with it, but since she moved she's been asking me questions on facebook all the time about her routine. She was down visiting family last week, where pics 2 and 3 come in

    CS : I just want to say how awesome I think it is that you have committed to something and continue to push for what you want. The transformation is amazing and further proof that we all have the power to change something in our lives. Thank you for all that.

    I finally got out of my rut and dragged myself to the gym yesterday for the first time since vacation. I had been battling women issues and feeling sorry for myself. My hubby told me to go and I needed that push. Once I started I was reminded WHY I love it so much. I didn't want to stop. I started with 15 minutes and 2 miles on the recumbent bike as a warmup then went onto walk for 45 minutes and 2 miles. My pace dropped slightly but the next few days I'm working more towards getting my body used to working out again after a small lapse from vacation/medical stuff. With no one but me to keep myself there I was pretty proud of myself that I did an hour of cardio and didn't stop even though I felt I wanted to. I also made sure to actually eat well yesterday and to get a gauge of where I was I am now sitting at just below my pre-vacation weight so that makes me happy.

    My husband said something to me today - That I looked younger than I did five months ago and I appreciated his compliment and honesty. I'm a fucking adult and don't want anyone to sugarcoat shit for me , that's what my family did growing up and it hurt me far more. So I went back and found a photo last fall and used the same outfit today..It was pretty mind blowing how different and younger I look now.
    Sometimes it's the small things that provide the biggest impact. It's a good day

    Left is Fall 2013 at about 290/300ish - Right is today at 273.8 lbs

    Also some geeky shirts just because - Top is an XL and the others are XXL - but in the future they are a bit big - I bought XXL on reflex for past 15 years..

    Keep up the great work. The gym really is a fountain of youth.

    and thanks, but I'm honestly disappointed in myself at the moment. Overall, I'm much better than where I left off, but I've made some obvious reverse progress. Need to find myself and push forward.

    Tosay was official weigh in day and I wanted to come up and update.
    It was a rough week due to female medical stuff..ugh , but have kept up pretty well really watching my food for sure.

    SW 311 lbs
    CW 271.1 lbs

    Total weight loss : 39.2 lbs

    Waist starting : 51.5 inches
    Current waist : 44 inches
    Total waist inches lost : 7.5 inches

    I'm starting to push myself with weight machines increasing weight within reason to push myself. It feels great and in my photos I definitely see the difference in my arms alone which is a huge motivational factor for me. I hope everyone had a great week , as I enjoy seeing everyone succeed in their personal goals

    That means more than you may realize , so sincerely thank you. Recently some people irl have told me I'm an inspiration and it kind of takes me by surprise. To me , I haven't changed much , but a lot of that is that I started so large that I do have a long way to go but that's okay! As of today I still want to lose another 120 lbs - and from there I will evaluate what my further goals will be. If I didn't have these photos I personally think it would be worse for me because looking at my body and large stomach is hard to see the changes. But taking my waist measurement and constant photos have really helped me to stay on track. I think we all have something we want to achieve in some area of our life and it's a matter of finding the ways that work for us and never giving up. I've spent over 30 years hating myself , there is such a freedom in not only liking what I see , but really loving myself and discovering that someone who cried herself to sleep night after night fearful of never understanding what happy is - can be.

    Okay, I haven't taken progress pics yet and it occurs to me that I should now. Nevermind me looking all sweaty. I had just gotten done working out and I realized I was in the matching outfit for my starting pics so I got inspired.

    (I'd do a weigh in too, but I only do weigh-ins first thing in the morning. Tomorrow morning I will post weight.)

    Pics on the left are from 4/30, pics on the right are from today 8/07

    Front


    Rear



    Side


    Gonna be real, until I sat these pictures side by side, I didn't notice any difference in my body. But there is some! At last count I am down 12 lbs, which compared to the others, is not much. But it's enough for there to be actual visible progress. I am pleased. And dammmmmmmn dat ass haha holy shit I lost a lot of booty (and that's a good thing). I think that may be part of the reason I had back problems, look at how much I was arching in that first pic.

    Tried running tonight, had my knee braces on because they've been sore. Went about 10 strides before I knew running was not going to be a good idea tonight. You know how something just feels off? It was that. So I just kept at a good brisk pace. Running can come when I'm healed.

    Feeling great tonight. So proud of myself, and everyone else here.

    Well it's weigh in/check in day for me and I was worried how this week would go honestly. I've been dealing with PCOS for years which basically means my normal time of month is all fuck you we're going to do whatever we want. Let's just say my hormones were all out of whack and I binged here and there. But then I got over it. I accepted it happened and got my ass back in gear both exercise/gym wise and food wise. And the results have paid off. I had a huge week and met a goal I honestly never thought I would see..I've lost OVER 40 lbs ! I'm so happy and excited and it's really starting to show in my clothes too which is exciting. I even got to buy my first ever ladies size sports tee. This is a huge deal for me because I've always had to buy the men's shirts because I was too big. Now I feel sexy and confident.

    it hit me this week at the mall. I don't feel like the fat girl anymore..I just feel like..myself. I'm more outgoing , I'm willing to compliment someone on a shirt , or their hard work at the gym , initiate conversations , etc. I've never been that person on the outside..and now the inner me and outer me and starting to mesh. It feels amazing.

    Here are my current stats :

    SW - 311 lbs
    CW : 268.3 lbs

    Total weight loss since April 25th 2014 : 42.7 lbs

    Starting waist : 51.5 inches
    Current waist : 43.25 inches
    Total inches lost : 8.25 inches on waist

    Here are some comparison photos :

    Left : 311 lbs / Right - Today at 268.3 lbs
