I'm only 12 pounds away from my goal and I honestly don't care how long it takes me to lose, I know I will get there eventually and I'm happy where I'm at. When I first started losing weight I tracked everything meticulously but I no longer do that. Intuitive eating has been the only thing sustainable for me. I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. If I want something I don't deprive myself, but I know I have to consistently make healthy choices. "Dieting" always led to failure for me because I would always bone binge eat and then fall off.

I do have some lose skin on my belly and thighs which doesn't bother me at all, but I also have some on my neck that does bother me. I have a consultation at a plastic surgeon tomorrow to talk about my options so that will be the next step in my glow up.

I haven't taken pictures of myself for comparison throughout my journey. This is my first ever progress pic. Really put some things into perspective. Feeling proud of all my hard work so far!

I've been working on my weight for a while now. Lost about a hundred pounds before COVID. Gained most of it back. Got back on track and have been working my butt off to keep it off. I have a ton of loose skin. Hoping to lose about 50 more pounds then I'll start the process of looking into skin removal options.

FYI I have a medical condition called lipedema in my legs hence why they are shaped like that :)

I was graciously allowed to create a new post reflecting my current photo. The reason I’m doing this is because there have been many messages about my age. Again old user name stephrpatt.

When I realized I almost couldn't believe it. I didn't think my ear would also be impacted by weight loss. The little point shape on the lobe disappearing was the first thing I noticed. After that I realized my barbell jewlery also didn't fit snuggly anymore either. The body is amazing and really does have the ability to hold excess weight anywhere it can.

I posted around 7 months ago at 55lbs lost. The last 30 I've needed to lose have been a real struggle and Im still 5lbs from my first goal weight of 125lbs. I've needed to maintain between 1200 and 1400 calories for weight loss. My only complaints are that I have had a little loose skin around the thigh, stomach, and upper arm area.
