I'm down 50lbs and looking to help others.

Quick background: About a year and a half ago I was the biggest I had ever been in my life at 250lbs. I was fairly thin all my life but got married, had a kid and you know the rest. I didn't feel comfortable in my body, and I could barely recognize myself in the mirror. I went on like this for a few years until I got sick and reached my breaking point.

Long story short, I took control of my health through eating right, getting adequate sleep and also reducing stress. It came down to me envisioning the life I wanted to live and how I wanted to feel. Once I did that I started to implement healthy habits in my life and lost over 50lbs.

This app will help because it gives you a level of accountability especially when you have other people there to remind you of your goals. I'm new to this community but would love to help in any way I can, so feel free to add me and lets keep each other motivated.

  • Awesome job man . Im 6'3 was at my all time high of 261lbs I've started eating right doing focus T25 workouts every day . Im on my fourth week and have dropped to 242lbs so far . I feel the change more than I see right now . Feel free to add
  • That's awesome . This is day oneffor me. I havea vveryllongwwayto go

    Try not to stress out by how far you have to go. It's all about winning the smaller daily battles rather than focusing on the war. It will take time, but you should look to make a lifestyle change rather than following some fad or trendy "yo-yo" diet. In time, as the weight starts to drop, you will begin to embrace the journey and your entire life will be enhanced. Much success!

    Thank you! I'm also 6'3 and started at about 250lbs and now at 188lbs which is what I weighed in high school only I'm a lot stronger lol. Anyhow, 20lbs in a month is awesome, just continue to stick it out. There may be some plateaus along the way, but don't get discouraged when it happens, just take it up another notch. That's what I did, I floated around 215 to 220 for a few months without being able to lose anymore weight. I thought it may have been it for my weight loss journey and almost settled in. I then read a book about metabolic typing and I started to pay more attention on specific foods and how they made me feel. It was more than just calories in calories out. I took my diet up another level and switch up my fitness routine and boom! Much success to you!
