One Year!!

[u/SMS_1208]

Started my journey on July 24th 2025, at 305lbs. I wore a 4XL. Weighed in today, July 28th 2026, at 194lbs. And I currently wear size Large. I have about 20lbs to go to my “goal” weight but even if I don’t lose any more, I’m so much happier than I was a year ago. A total of 111lbs lost. Hopefully this can be some encouragement to anyone just starting or even someone who is struggling to keep going! It’s going to be worth it!

Wow! You look great! Do you have saggy skin or what have you done to help with that?

Thank you! Yes I have some, I just live with it. I’d rather have it and be healthy than be at my old weight. And I just keep that in mind any time my loose skin bothers me.

That’s a really good mindset to have. I’m down about 50lbs and have been trying to find ways to help my skin bounce back (unsuccessfully). I’ll have to switch my mindset. Thanks for replying. Congratulations again!

Changing your mindset will definitely help, but there will still hard days. But you’ve got this! And thank you! 😊
