Getting better with age at 53 and noticing it is the arc the scale doesn't fully capture. The confidence shift - not needing the extra layer at Mexico heat - is the body-image part catching up.

Hey Scale_Ready, I started about a year and a half prior to stopping. Went from around 240 to 185. The belly fat definitely took some time, but it came off eventually with diet and workouts. Consistency is key!

Happy to hear a successful story off of it!

Been off the injections since last fall. Feeling good about maintaining my new weight, it's not a given!

I'm down about 40 pounds, and it feels AMAZING not needing a seatbelt extender on airplanes anymore! I had a flight a couple weeks ago and had room to spare!

Awesome job!

That's a radical transformation! I'm so happy to hear that you're doing well!

Amazing work!

This is great!! Thanks for sharing :) You've clearly worked hard and it's paying off! Congrats!
