I weighed 325 at my heaviest, I lost 163 pounds over a period of 2 years. I lost too much weight and have gained some of it back. I now want to drop about 20 pounds.
Here are some pics.....when I would run into someone who hadn't seen me for a while, well, their reaction was they didn't recognize me. That is a really good feeling!!

Wow! Great job! I need to work on losing some weight! :0(
You did a great job! Keep up the good work!
WOW Landon! You look great! Do you have any tips or secrets for the rest of us? You do know crocheting has been proven to be a good weight loss strategy?! You hads are always occupied and you don't want the item you are working on to get dirty!! Thanks for sharing with us!
You Go Girl! You should be soo proud.

As long as you feel good and healthy....great job
Maryjane, I think there is something to that. I usually have popsickles at night (they are in my WW point system) and the last couple of nights I haven't had but one at night not my usual 2 or 3. So maybe we can tell others we are in a weight loss program when we crochet??? Not just sitting around crocheting but doing a workout while crocheting. I get extra points from WW for activty so I will get more points every day. Ok, I am patenting this idea so nobody can steal the idea from me!! LOL
awesome Landon! are you and the brunette girl wearing the same pants?
Great Job. I need to lose alot of weight, been having trouble with my heart. Everythime I lose it, I gain it back. Can't seem to keep on the program.. I get streesed out and I eat...Whats your secret?
Yes, Val, we are standing each in one leg of black pants that are a size 30W that I wore at my heaviest weight. I have those pants hanging on my bedroom door. I need to move them to my kitchen!! LOL
Kathy B, I am an emotional eater too. I am working with a psychotherapist to identify what emotions are fueling my eating habits. I get stressed out or even just think about something that causes me anxiety and I head straight for my kitchen! I want to learn non food responses to address my stress and get that under control.
To get all that weight off, I eliminated white sugar, white flour products and ate lots and lots of salads, fish, chicken without the skin, no fried foods, no soda, no ice cream or anything else fattening. I ate tons of fresh fruit and fresh veggies.
How did I gain these 50 pounds back? Too much ice cream and pizza!! LOL
Great job Landon!!!!!!!
Thank you, Paige!! It was a true experience!
You are an inspiration to all. You should be extremely proud.
That is very sweet of you to say!! Thank you!!
I bet is was one heck of an experience....and a positive one at that!! :)
It was an experience!! Once I could get rid of my clothes from when I was heavier, I mist have cleared out about 20 feet of clothing from my closet. Shopping for clothes became a lot more fun and my doctors were all so happy!
The most fun is when people don't recognize me! That is WILD!!
Oh my that sounds like a lot of clothes lol but must have been so nice to get rid of them!!! I hate clothes shopping and try to do it as fast as I can..never works out that way lol.
Now that would be fun..it is a good way to freak people out from the past lol.
My experience with being a twin that nobody could tell apart and then she has gastric bypass surgery and now ever one can tell us apart. I miss the fun of having someone just like me.I am losing weight with WW but it will take me a year or more to lose the weight she did in a few months. She went through a lot of pain with nausea and vomiting for 2-3 years and now she has hanging skin that keeps her from looking truly thin. Life isn't easy!!
It is hard no matter which way you take....... I have been trying for year ( not very hard mind you), and was doing great at maintaining the same weight but after being really sick back in April I have added pounds I really didn't need. So now I am trying harder (then I was before lol) to at least get back to where I was before I got sick....
Wish everyone great luck on achieving your goal!! :)
Oh and I think crocheting should be considered exercise lol ;)
OMG! That is an amazing thing you accomplished. I have a lot of weight to lose and you are an inspiration! You have every right to be proud of your accomplishment.
Hi, Theresa L., Thank you so much! It was a real experience, that's for sure!! I am grateful that I was able to get all that weight off!
