Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: I was treated differently, but not by strangers - by people I knew. At 5'3" I weighed in around 195, and in one summer I dropped to 160. I have always been a very curvy girl with lots of muscle who looks unhealthy under 130, so while I was not "skinny", ....
Comment preview: I've posted progress pics along my journey, but I've never posted a full-body picture of my "before" pic. I hope it doesn't warrant too many nasty comments. But, damnit, I am THRILLED. Thrilled beyond words. When I set this goal (which is my smallest adult ....
Comment preview: Understand they are projecting their own insecurities on you. It isn't fair to you, but it's the only way they deal with self-loathing. There is a cycle of responses from people you know when you lose weight, as I am sure you know. - As you start you get p ....
Comment preview: Well folks, it s been exactly one year since I took a good, hard look at myself and decided to reclaim my health. My combination Keto/Paleo diet has honestly been 99% of the reason for my success (as I ve done virtually zero intentional exercise in the las ....
Comment preview: I don't think they are upset because of your weight loss, but rather because you claim to be something you're not. I'm not going to sugar coat it.. your arms are bigger than the woman in the picture because they are flabby and hang low. You have a bigger b ....
Comment preview: I've lost about 75-80 (unsure of exact number, so I stick to the lower end, and I'm also doing maintenance, so my weight shifts by about 5lbs depending on day and food). It's not 100, but it's still a chunk I guess? Before: http://imgur.com/WFhjZ After: ht ....
Comment preview: Hey OP, three years ago I weighted 300lbs for 5'5. I am now down 115lbs. I not done, but I'm getting there... First, you are not alone. Check out /r/loseit, /r/fitness and /r/xxfitness there are PLENTY of stories like yours. Second, build a plan. Do your r ....
Comment preview: I used to spend a lot of time on /r/loseit and feel like a failure seeing the crazy rapid weightloss and progresspics. Had no idea how they did it. It took me a while to realize they started out at a much higher weight and that made a huge difference. My t ....
Comment preview: Hey chica! 5'5 gal here who went from 172 to 130. Congrats on your decision to lose weight! I don't guarantee that what I did will be right for you, but here are some tips from my weight loss journey and some things that worked for me: -Buy a nice insulate ....
Comment preview: I wanted to share my weight loss journey with this reddit to show people that it's possible to dramatically improve your life with dedication. My journey started with changing my diet from fast food, pasta, mac & cheese to more of a clean eating/paleo ....
Comment preview: My name is Tyler and I lost 100 pounds in the first 6 months of my weight loss journey, and all told, I'm about 140 pounds down as of today (but I'm not at my lowest weight today). I lost weight by eating less and moving around more (just watching calorie ....
Comment preview: As a fat girl, I usually shy away from "defending" people who are fat, or even commenting in these kinds of threads. I just wanted to add something really quick. I'm fat, but I'm not fat because I'm sitting on my couch shoving my face with chips and reject ....
Comment preview: As a fat chick who orders non-fat lattes and unsweetened iced teas, I can see the confusion. But I assure you that I was fatter before I switched to non-fat and unsweetened. If the person is ordering three pastries in addition to the non-fat latte, go ahea ....
Comment preview: I've lost 70lbs and, with it, 16 friends. I'm very proud of my weight-loss-journey and I'm also not the type of person to take shit from people so when the negative comments came my way, I threw them right back. To me, if you comment on my weight in a nega ....
Comment preview: I think you have the right impulse on how to handle this. She's caught up in feeling disappointed about her own lack of ability, and that's translating into resentment towards you for picking it up so easily. Hearing you talk about the experiences she want ....
Comment preview: Well folks, it s been exactly one year since I took a good, hard look at myself and decided to reclaim my health. My combination Keto/Paleo diet has honestly been 99% of the reason for my success (as I ve done virtually zero intentional exercise in the las ....
Comment preview: Fuck yes, dude! I was just thinking about obesity and medical school interviews today. Like it or not, in interviews, someone who's very overweight is going to send red flags up in a school that takes tons of self discipline and motivation to get through. ....
Comment preview: ATTENTION ALL OF YOU DISGUSTING WORTHLESS PEICES OF SHIT THAT I WOULD GO OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY TO AVOID IF YOU WERE LYING ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET SUFFERING. THE YOUNG WOMAN PICTURED IS MY VERY GOOD FRIEND. SHE IS ON AN EXCELLENT WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY THAT ....
Comment preview: [Oh yeahhh!](http://imgur.com/a/Tu1cj) Today I competed in my first half marathon! Exactly one year ago I started my fitness/weight loss journey, and I was just starting C25K. I never imagined that exactly a year later I'd be doing this kind of distance. I ....
Comment preview: So, this is *classic* Indian parent behavior, and you are marrying into this family so get used to it. I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but that's the way it is. I've spent enough time with Indian people to know that if I have a zit, someone will point ....
Comment preview: Ok, first off, congrats on dealing with this. It's not easy to face, and doing so takes balls. Second, get a copy of "Why We Get Fat (And What to do About It)" by Gary Taubes. It's completely eye-opening. In fact, if you need me to, message me directly ....
Comment preview: You sound a bit like me. I don't intend to get ripped, I don't intend to run marathons. I just want to be healthier so I can do fun stuff like dancing. I have very vague fitness goals because there isn't like... some girl I want to look like, or some far o ....
Comment preview: I've been on a weight loss journey for some time now, and I'm in the home stretch (15lbs to normal BMI; goal weight by christmasish. Merry Christmas to me.) Along the way I was guided by my school's wellness program. What drives me insane is that so much f ....
Comment preview: Weeeeeell, yes but mostly no, at least for me. I've gone through the weight loss journey twice in my life, once when I was 30 and the last time the last few years. I noticed the "people treat me differently" effect both times, at around 235lb. Did my ou ....
Comment preview: This is my 8th year doing CrossFit. We started in a home garage in 2007 and today we have a 4,000 square foot facility. Back in the day we had a class where we all had the right mindset. Enjoy CrossFit because it it helps us enjoy our lives. A ring muscle ....
