I went from morbidly obese to 6 pack abs! Ask me Anything
I've always wanted to do an AMA so I thought I'd set one up here. The basics about my story are that I went from 315lbs to 195 and have been making small gains in muscles/losses to fat ever since. Ask me anything, anything at all! Add me as a friend on here too!

3 years of dedication and 315 pounds lost.
I didn’t want to post in the success area until I reached my goal, but today officially marks my 3 year anniversary of my new lifestyle, and my daughter said it will help inspire others. This time 3 years ago I was leaving the hospital with the determination to get healthy and be a bigger part of my daughters’ lives. For…

My story of sweet revenge (pics)
I lied, my story really isn't about revenge. But, it started out that way. In 2010 my life hit a very low point. I weighed 217 pounds and my husband wanted a divorce. The entire four year marriage had been rough, so divorce was a bit of a relief. The downside of that was having to move across the country and back into my…

In 78 days, I've lost 163lbs... But I'm not done yet!
(Originally Posted 4/9/15) I've been heavy since I was a kid, and since Junior High my weight steadily crept up higher and higher until my Junior year in High School. Since then I've become a Professional Yo-Yo Dieter dropping significant weight, only to plateau and gain it all back within a couple years. :/ By the time I…

63 lbs lost and I've kept it off for over 2 years!
I spent my 20's having children and being over weight. I have 4 children, ages 11,8,7 and 3. I struggled a lot with my self esteem. I was always thin growing up. When I got pregnant at 19 with my oldest, I had gained 53 Ibs by the time I had her! I lost most of the weight and gained some back, then became pregnant with my…

What's Your Most Recent NSV
My most recent NSV is taking a selfie with my daughter and seeing dimples again! I have hated how I've looked for so long and I actually don't hate this picture and my dimples are back. Can't remember the last time I saw those, I know it was when a Bush was in office! Even the fact that I was willing to take a selfie is a…

BeingKevin, an update.
Hello! :) Some of you may remember me a little, some may not remember me at all, and most probably don’t give a damn, but I wanted to say hello to all of you who helped me so much as I began this new life over two and a half years ago. Many of you were a huge inspiration (both pals and MFP bloggers and posters) to me and I…

I'm 5'6 1/2 and currently weigh 165. I started MFP in September and have lost 15 lbs. I'm curious to see other women's frames with weight on and…

Halfway! Down 71.8 pounds!
I am halfway to my goal. I started out at 319 pounds, probably more than that before I weighed myself. I wore a size 28W/26W. I am now at 247 and wearing a size 16W. Not only have I lost 71.8 but I have also lost 22.75 inches from my body. I feel so much better. I can do more things now than I used to be able to do. All…
