GOAL MET!!!!! 251LBS LOST!!!66 pants to 32 pants!!!!!!
 

Never been one to really get creative in my writing so hopefully the pictures speak a thousand words.

Yesterday i hit 251lbs lost. Now able to comfortably fit into my goal size jeans (32). Weight is 181lbs. Would like to get to 179lbs then maybe an additional 5lbs to use as a buffer from when i move from OWL to maintenance.
Might as well regurgitate some before pics and current. To inspire and be inspired.

2009-2012 - Not sure on weight as the then-scale was limited to 400lbs which i would get the good ole Error message. So i go with 400+

---Warning that next pic contain TMI info---------------------

Sad when i continue to wear my sad ripped and worned sweat pants in 100 degree weather. I was to embarrassed to have to go to the XL store to get more and maybe move to 7XL. Don't fret as i had a second pair of sweatpants which i considered my going out pants so i made sure it was kept in good condition..lame i know

Progress Pics -
Feb 28th, 2014. 324lbs (108lbs lost)

At this point i moved to OWL and while i still wanted lost additional weight my focus had shifted towards measurements and implementing more exercise (10k+ steps daily and 30 minutes elliptical). I bought a pair of 32 levis as my goal jeans

ONEDERLAND - December 18th, 2014 - 196lbs (236lbs lost).. First time i have been under 200lbs in my adult life....

GOAL MET March 6th, 2-15 181lbs (251lbs lost) Days on WOE - 1 year, 6 months, 7 days.
Size 32 pants and large shirt.

Want to say thanks to each and every one of you on this forum.

You look so healthy now and will be an inspiration for anyone who worries the long journey to weight loss success is too daunting. Just Do It.

Absolutely AMAZING! WTG!

You're a fantastic inspiration, Maori - those pictures say more than a 1000 words could :)

Congratulations! Well done!

I congratulated you on MFP. (Baconslave from LCD btw. :) I've been wondering for awhile: is that Maori? That has to be Maori!)

But your success merits a: Congrats again. You've done a crazy-amazing thing for yourself. And bring so much inspiration and hope to others by sharing your success.

Just...nothing short of amazing.

Success stories do drive my progress. Definitely you've given me a solid reminder that this takes strong, unwavering commitment every single day. No excuses.

I thank you for that sincerely!!!

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing and giving us inspiration to continue our journey knowing it can be done.

Awesome journey! Congrats on making your goal!! :cheer:

Now, onto long term maintenance for you!!


and thanks for the inspiring photos.

That's really crazy as in crazy good! You must be feeling pretty good every day when you wake up. You're a real inspiration.

Wow! Just Wow. You look amazing. Great success story.

Wow! To say you have done well is the understatement of the year! You must be so proud of yourself. You should be so proud of yourself!

Congratulations!

What a tremendous accomplishment! I wish I had your drive! Congratulations! You are a new man...

That was certainly true for me. A year ago, I was watching you get it done and that helped me believe that losing 200+ pounds was possible. I really needed to know that. Following your progress straight down to goal has been awe inspiring. You have rocked this WOE and knocked it totally out of the park. You have been a rock for me and that has helped keep me on track and motivated. So while you have done this for you, your presence here has helped others. Thanks for taking the time to share your weight loss story through the whole process.

:clap: Congratulations Maori! :clap:

Your journey is absolutely amazing! I bet you feel like a new man! I wish you continued success with your maintenance journey. :)

You inspire me!

Amazing! can I ask what you where eating when you were at your fattest? just curious because it looks like fairly high maintenance to be as big as you were

Wow!!!!!!!!

Wow! Good going! You are so totally a new improved person! Huge congrats on your success (again, apparently I posted congrats before but one can never congratulate another person for a job so well DONE!!!!) :cheer:

And I wish you would smile in your pictures of the new you! Cause I caught that smile in the earlier pics.... :D

Wishing you much success as you continue your journey!

Onward, ↓ DOWNWARD & MAINTENANCE 4ever! :cheer:

:rheart: Jo :D

Hi! :wave: My name is Jo and I’m a recovering morbidly obese carb addict!

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God !! Maori -that is un-f'n-believable! just f-n amazing. No but seriously, sorry for swearing but these pictures have put me in an extreme state of flabhergastation; someone help put my bottom jaw up where it belongs. Congratulations. Now will you be writing a book ?

Incredible! What a story.
