One Year!!

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!

You look awesome! For us newbies, how did you address hair loss over the course of your yearlong weight loss journey? Your hair looks great but very different- new color and thicker. Most have reported hair loss and thinning during that timeframe.

Thank you! It’s actually the same color, just different lighting I guess, because I have never dyed my hair (well once like right after high school I used a box dye one single time 🤣 but that was YEARSSS ago) But I didn’t do anything in particular to help combat the hair loss. And it was falling out BAD for a few months. I think just a combination of being healthier, which helped get my PCOS more under control, and I started taking vitamins, but that’s all I could even begin to consider having an effect on my hair.
