It took me two decades to reach 300+ pounds and only 9 weeks to leave that scary, morbid place for good.
Mar 25 weight: 296.2
Mar 18 weight: 302.6
Mar 11 weight: 306.6
Mar 04 weight: 312.0
Feb 25 weight: 320.2
Feb 18 weight: 324.0
Feb 11 weight: 328.2
Feb 04 weight: 333.0
Jan 28 weight: 338.2
Starting weight (Jan 21): 344.2
6.4 pounds lost in the past 7 days, 47 pounds total in 9 weeks!
After my 4 week weigh-in I talked about how I knew I couldn’t sustain losing several pounds a week and how I’d be happy losing just 2 or 3 pounds on a regular basis — that’s why with each new weigh-in I’m shocked by the scale. I’ve moved 4, 5, 6, and 8 pounds each week over the past several weeks with absolutely no signs of slowing down or “plateauing.”
That being said, I still know that my drastic weight loss can’t go on forever; it’s just not mathematically possible. As I weigh less, my body uses less calories to perform the same exercises and daily activities. Thus, if my calorie intake stays the same (which it will) and hovers around the 1800-2,000 mark every day, I’ll have a calorie deficit that just keeps getting smaller.
Being under 300 is a major milestone — I can’t thank you guys enough.

I just went from 300 to 295 in my first week – mostly from changes in eating and drinking – and minimal exercise (still getting in that habit).

GREAT JOB!!!!! This is like the Biggest Loser except for you are finding healthy ways to loose reasonable amounts of weight. Well done. :)
That’s fantastic! I was so excited to see that you’ve broken the 300 mark. I’m probably more excited about your progress than my own. (Of course, you’re doing much better than I am, so that’s not hard!) I hope you did something nice to celebrate!
