- Went swimming today and glanced at myself in my swimsuit in the mirror. I was compelled to take a picture then I went back in my photos on my phone. Found this picture of when I first got this swimsuit. I was 280 pounds in the left picture, in the right picture which was taken today I weighed 212. My advice for anyone on a weight loss journey is to take progress photos! Even if you hate what you look like in the mirror someday you will be happy to have these photos to help share your journey with other people! At my high weight of 295 my waist measured 55”. Today I’m down to a 41” waist. This has been a long journey but I wanted to share a bit of my story. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or other wise known as POTS. I had to use a cane when walking just to keep my balance. Today I’m able to walk over 3 miles without stopping with no cane or assistance device. My next goal is to start jogging. I’m still a little over 40 pounds to my goal weight but I’m learning to enjoy the journey.

Your body is your worst enemy....I was up 7 lbs from last Wednesday's weigh in, and I can honestly say I only had 1 cheat ... with a bag of chips. This is nothing new for me . I have seen being up 5 pounds over night...then the next day be back down...I think my goal this month , is to only jump on the scale once a week, instead of every day...its too discouraging .
- Hello everyone! My name is Lexi for those of you who may not know me and I lost over 300lbs with diet & exercise. I personally joined my first dietbet January 2016 & it helped me to change my own life and now I host so I can help you! Looking forward to getting started with you all this week! <3
Question…. The pot said it was $41,000. I got a notice saying me and 596 other people Won $52. That adds up to $31,000. Where the other 10,000? This is my first game so I’m just trying to understand. Thanks for the info in advance.
