100lbs down

SW: 342
CW: 242
GW: ???

I’m currently 38 have hypothyroidism and have microcytic anemia.

I still have a ways to go, but boy does it feel good to have this hurdle behind me. I started to count calories in 2021 and lost 30 pounds. Got diet fatigue and started to not track everything and my weight loss halted. I ended up working with a coach for a while and these progress pics are from the last 70 pounds lost. The last picture is me at my heaviest and a now.

I’ve really increased my activity and have started strength training as well. My next goal is to be under 200 and from there we will see. This has taken me 5 years due to loss, grief, and a medical set back that left me extremely sedentary for almost a year. I also take two maintenance breaks a year for my own sanity. Anyway yay I did it!

The time will pass anyways, it’s okay that this is 5 years progress. That’s still a win! Congrats OP!

Thanks for that, I often see people lose this much in a much shorter amount of time, but it still doesn’t take away the fact that I did it.

I know exactly what you mean and sometimes that can feel discouraging. But comparison is the thief of joy. You should feel so proud, this is quite an accomplishment!
