I've made a lot of changes to ensure this is my last go on a yo-yo cycle. I began my journey after I broke 300lb on the scale which was a big threshold to cross (PS.. Not my baby, so that wasnt the reason I was eating for two). I began tracking my calories again, I identified I have ADHD and began taking vyvance, I started in the gym in October 2023 with a focus on weight training and walking. I had a gastric sleeve surgery in May 2025 and had lost 80lbs at that stage. I've been not seeing progress on the scale since late last year so I am currently refocusing on my eating but I decided to pull this together to see my progress. There are only 21lbs difference between the last 2 photos... So its really helped me see that I have made progress during this time. I feel so much better carrying less weight around with me... I feel like I'm finally finding my own style in clothes now that its not strictly what fits and is flattering. I enjoy wanting to do things again. Still a work in progress but taking it one day at a time and being patient with myself during this time. A big focus for me was changing my inner dialogue and being kind to myself. I talk to myself in a way that I would talk to someone else now and it has completely shifted my capacity especially at the gym. Anyway... I wanted to share because this group has always been an inspiration to me of what's possible and I couldn't wait for my chance to post my own progress❤️😊
