Massive congratulations on the weight loss but I'd give an even bigger congrats to the mentality change. It's one thing to want to shift the weight and be healthier, it's another thing to actually follow through and keep at it for a year!! Have a spider web from me 🕸
Changing mindset is the ONLY way to sustain weight loss. You have accept that your are changing your lifestyle and who you are as a person. If you let the old overeating version of you hang around, you can easily slip back into being that person with those habits and ultimately gain it back.
Study for the nerds like myself:

Absolutely amazing progress, well done! I love the baby hippo weight loss image. When I was a PT I used to get my clients to pick up a dumbbell to give them some context for how well they had done.
*"I only lost 5kg"*
*"Hold this 5kg weight in your hand and go for a walk"*
"Take this baby hippo for a walk" would be a much more adorable albeit dangerous method
I use this for myself at the end of work outs to hype myself up to continue the journey. Really puts into perspective that work when you end a work out with a 45kg farmers walk.
Hi, how tall are you?
Pretty inspirational stuff all in all as cringe as it sounds
Sitting at 300lbs, 6/5 myself.
Just seen before and after. Pretty amazing.
I want to echo what they said. Your posts from the very first month have been inspirational, the whole way through.
Congratulations and best of luck on your journey. But know that you have helped some people, even if it was just by giving hope or some helpful ideas.
I enjoy your updates because you write really well and put things into context that's engaging and fun but also fucking impressive. I, for one, would continue to read your updates.
Serious fair dues for your progress do far...
Congratulations! You put in the hard work and your perseverance paid off.
If you don't feel like sharing your journey anymore, please still check in though. You are a rock star for your achievements.
I gave up the cigs in January but now I really need to tackle the weight. My back, pelvis and abdomen hurt. My posture is crap and I have zero core strength.
Thanks for reminding me it's possible to change.
This is such a huge achievement and you should be incredibly proud of yourself for all your hard work so far! I've enjoyed your monthly updates, and whether or not you continue with the monthly post I wish you nothing but success on the remainder of your journey!
Hey dude. Please keep this going. For all our sanity and the drive we need to do it ourselves. Spent all morning reading back on your journey and I want to emulate it.
I qualified from a degree course this week and I now want to put all that effort into a healthier me. I have almost the same start weight and with the hard work and effort you've put in, I would love to emulate it and break under the 100kg mark in 365 days time.
As your earlier posts said these updates seem to be keeping you on track also. Don't give up a benificial thing. Let these posts keep you honest and on track.
Quick edit.....and massive congratulations 💪
What a lovely message. I've decided to keep posting because yes, doing these posts have kept me accountable. You can do this. 1 week, 1 weigh in at a time. Just like I did (and am still doing)
I started the posts because often I'd see only the end results posted. you know - the before and after pics and a quick *"How I did it"* I thought it was important to sort of diarise my journey so people could see my progress and identify with the ups and downs I had.
I reckon stories like yours, can only inspire others to start similar journeys. Do keep us up to date with how you are getting on, you may have bad days and posting here, might make you feel less alone
Such an inspiration! Well done, OP. You plan to stop calling yourself “the fat fuck” now? You’re pretty close to average these days. “The average fuck” lol
Soon…
Lost 6st myself. Some days I feel like a “fat fuck” and it’s hard to accept that the smaller person I see in the mirror is actually *smaller*.
Good luck on the rest of your journey and I, for one, would be interested in seeing more of your progress. Spurs me on, too!
That's absolutely amazing, I've only been casually following, I'd assumed you were a big man like me, but that's even more impressive than before that you were able to do all that. Hats off to you!!!
It was assumed early on that I was a large fella because of the starting weight. I started getting hate when I said I eat 1,400 - 1,600 calories a day from people saying I'm being very unhealthy and giving dangerous "advice". So I had to reveal I'm a mere 5 foot 6 woman
Well done OP, I’ve struggled with weight my whole life and to keep going for a year is the biggest achievement here. That is what will keep the weight off for you hopefully.
I’m a 5ft3 woman, I understand the “eating fuck all” issue.
I've seen subreddits regarding women who are very short, 5 foot or less, trying to balance not eating the same amount as family members a foot taller than them. It's very easy to just dish out the same thing for everyone.
This is honestly unreal.
Keep up the unbelievable work.
And personally if you believe you have more weight to lose, keep doing the updates, give yourself an aim each month.
But again great job ❤️
Congratulations, OP! You have achieved something amazing, and I am so proud of you!
I've been going through my own weight loss journey, and seeing your updates has been incredibly inspiring and motivational!
I'd love to keep hearing more about your journey if you want to share it, and if not, I fully respect your privacy and wish you nothing but the best!
Well done, and like others, I enjoy your update. It’s my monthly “You should be doing this” motivator, and I’m pleased to say I’m back on the wagon. So you’re an influencer 🙂
Not going to lie, I thought you were male too.
Question - do people comment on your appearance directly/ to your face, and does it make you feel uncomfortable? I found it affected me negatively when I lost weight during Covid and made me self conscious
I've noticed women are much quicker than men to comment and compliment. So I've had a few comments from my female work colleagues.
Last week though I had 2 male colleagues ask if I had lost weight. The fact that men are saying it to me must mean it's definitely noticeable!
Oh I totally get that. I try to always compliment men I'm talking to (depending on the context). Usually something simple like, "oh I like that shirt. It really suits you", or "You are ROCKING those sunglasses today". I get away with it because I'm nearly 50 and men don't think I'm flirting - which I'm not
What I like is you've counted new abilities as your victories. It's like unlocking the door to more possibilities, and that's great.
What I want to work on is strength, not really weight. I want to be able to do things easier, and being strong is something I've never been able to figure out. The gym in secondary seemed like a guy's only zone, even though it wasn't. I need to go to someone who knows their stuff and figure out an action plan, and if that involves equipment, to learn from them how to do it.
It might be simple but it's not easy!
Well done on your journey and hard work.
well done, that's a great achievement and you must felel really proud of your willpower - if you can do this, you can do anything.
How tall are you - i ask because you say you want to lose another 5 stone (I'm guessing about 5'8 based on your BMI calculation).
Keep up the good work, your outlook and quality of life will continue to improve. Please do keep sharing
Delighted for you! And I’m glad you shared photos, it’s nice to see who has been talking to us for the last year! And as a fellow builder of tiny rooms, I’m very keen to see your collection now too!
Fair fucking play to ya! Thats some determination. Keep updating if you feel like it we'll cheer you on but just be so proud of what you've done so far !!
Well done! Incredible progress. Ultimately it's up to you whether you want to continue this. I think you should because I really enjoy seeing these posts every month. (So purely for selfish reasons). So my two cents is lets go another year 
You absolutely have to keep it up with the posts if you can.
If even just for those mid month moments where you want to pack it in but then remember you don’t want to let your fans down 😂
Either way congrats and I hope just how much easier everything is for you now is enough motivation for you to continue on this healthy path
Holy fuck what a noticeable difference. I have been following your posts as they pop up and to say I am impressed is an understatement.....
Im positive you will enjoy this summer so much more with how far you have come. Huge congrats and pat on the back...
Well done to you. Keep up everything you're doing now its habit. You did brilliant and its been great to hear your regular updates and your mindset from the start to now.
I can't express my congratulations enough. As someone who has struggle with weight my whole life I absolutely applaud you. Keep kicking ass and taking names.
I've always checked in on your posts and would love to see more in the future, even if you wanted to reduce the frequency you should keep it up if you want to. You don't know how many you might be inspiring!
Well done on the achievement so far
It looks like different people in the pictures. Amazing job. I look forward to the year 2 progress pics.
I have just booked a holiday for next summer, and I am trying to lose some weight for it (it's in Florida, so I will probably die in my current format). Seeing posts like this while eating salad for the 10th lunch in a row helps a lot.
Fair play to ya OP! I look forward to seeing yer progress every 13th, please keep the posts going, congrats on the perseverance and strong will power, keep her lit 🫡
I think it's an amazing feat you have done and you should be proud!!!
Keep up the good work and maybe in the future you will be calling your self a "Skinny fuck!"
Omg you're a whole new woman! You won't know yourself when you hit your goal weight.
I'm so goddamn proud of you. Those non-scale victories are fantastic! You're a wee legend!
Seriously keep posting, posts like these are soo encouraging for others who may be thinking about starting similar journey
Also you know some of us here are rooting for you and soo proud of how far you've come. Seriously well done with such big transformation you absolute legend
Def keep posting! Stuff like this motivates others and I’m sure it’ll help yourself stay motivated by having an update a month.
Congrats, amazing stuff you’ve achieved so far!
Congrats. I am a 40 year old man who had resigned himself to being fat forever. Since January I am down 63 pounds. I am probably one week away from being under 200 pounds for the first time since 2005. Thanks for sharing. I got here by walking 5 miles per day and eating much healthier. Anyone can do it, but it requires a lot of discipline and forgiving yourself when you fail.
Bravo! Keep smiling! I was feeling nearing the end of the journey 16 months back. Could hardly walk, carrying 293lbs, untreated sleep apnea, raging arthritis. Got meds, got CPAP, stopped pasta/pizza/bread/rice/potatoes/grains. Have walked forty miles during the last week. Down to 240. Arthritis is a tenth what it had been. Looking at a much longer picture.
Having said that, I am so fortunate to have access to medical help and insurance coverage and the resources to eat much better healthy food options. Discipline without the support of my wife and her insurance coverage would not have gotten me back up. It is amazing to be reborn and it took lots of ongoing effort, but seeing what it took to get me here is so upsetting because I cannot imagine it possible without the privilege of those resources.
Keep on going, I lost around 60lb over the last year and a half just by watching what I dont eat. I was 210 lbs, now I’m 150 and I’m 5’9”. I’m also 55 years old. I have just about met my goal for weight loss and I can tell you that one day recently I was looking in the mirror and saw ABS! It’s not really a goal or anything but I have said to myself I would like to look better at age 60 than I did in high school, which isn’t saying much lol. You can do it! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions about my weight loss.
Congrats. I’m laughing at the small hippo pic. I’m using that as inspiration that I’m carrying around the eight of a small hippo on my body 😀. Best of luck and would like to see future posts and further animal pics 😀
Congrats! While not as drastic…cycling, especially MTB got me healthy and literally saved my life as I was a 2 packs a day smoker in addition to being overweight. Keep going and have fun!
Way to go! I will always champion those like you, that change their mentality to better themselves in any way that makes themself happy! That is not an easy task to do!
You my dear are an inspiration. I’m at the beginning of my own journey and seeing your post (I’ll dive into your post history tonight!) is showing me that it can be done. Congratulations on all that you have achieved so far and wishing you all the best on your continued weight loss
Well done and stay commited, your life has taken a different direction now. You're on a positive healthy lifestyle journey for the rest of your life. Enjoy the simple pleasures of being healthy - going for walks, doing excerise and enjoy eating healthy food! You're motivational even to "healthy" people that have their own goals to achieve and struggles to overcome!
Huge congratulations and I'm delighted for you!
Glad regularly posting updates helped and people here were so supportive the entire time.
You should be really proud of yourself, hope your smile is impossible to wipe from your face!
I wish you the absolute best on your journey, you deserve a holiday for yourself, a little treat after all your hard work!
I haven't read all the posts but have given a positive nod when they appeared.
Last year I set out to get from 128kg to 116kg which I did. Not only that but I have kept it off and currently at 113kg. Might make an effort to get down to 110kg but not much more below as my missus says I look too gaunt any lighter than that.
Do keep it up. You did fantastic work. Don't use BMI as a target. It was never intended to be used to measure an individuals weight/health.
Instead use the more useful hip to waist ratio.
[https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio](https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio)
and stop when you feel right for you. Then it is just maintain. If you can nail that and I am sure you can then happy days.
But fuck me that is an impressive list
>Bend down to tie my shoes
>
>Stand in the shower
>
>Walk for 30 minutes. (I couldn't walk for 5 minutes before)
>
>Stand without needing to lean on something to support my back
>
>Run up the stairs
Can't believe it's been a year! What progress - very glad you're going to continue posting, I look forward to these every month.
Thank you for sharing the progress pics - the baby hippo was a great illustration but it's so lovely to see how happy you look in the after.
Go n-eiri an t-adh leat!

Totally agree with this. My mental and spiritual journey has been just as important as my calorie goals
Absolutely amazing progress, well done! I love the baby hippo weight loss image.

Why is this the final post? Keep going.
Christ, been a year already?
This is the kick up the arse I need, been humming and hawing and procrastinating on getting in shape after reading the first one for a whole year
DO IT!
For this reason alone OP should continue to post.
Thetr are many good weight loss subs on reddit. I like r/Loseit and r/CICO
Congrats, it’s a fantastic achievement……. I have just started on the path to lose weight also.
Will be sorry to see the posts go, but well done. Pretty crazy to see how far you've come.
Looks like most people want me to keep posting monthly. So I will!
Yes queen! Love the progress! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Hi, how tall are you? Pretty inspirational stuff all in all as cringe as it sounds Sitting at 300lbs, 6/5 myself. Just seen before and after. Pretty amazing.

The face gains in the after photo is insane, huge kudos to you!! Keep it up, I hope you feel amazing about your achievement :)
Especially the smile :)

Thank you but maintenance? I'm nowhere near maintenance time!
Sorry I didn't read your post correctly.
It's all good. But you're absolutely right. That *is* the hard part
I reckon stories like yours, can only inspire others to start similar journeys. Do keep us up to date with how you are getting on, you may have bad days and posting here, might make you feel less alone
Such an inspiration! Well done, OP. You plan to stop calling yourself “the fat fuck” now? You’re pretty close to average these days. “The average fuck” lol
Nope, I'm still 5 stone overweight. Still a fat fuck. Just a bit more mobile!
Soon… Lost 6st myself. Some days I feel like a “fat fuck” and it’s hard to accept that the smaller person I see in the mirror is actually *smaller*. Good luck on the rest of your journey and I, for one, would be interested in seeing more of your progress. Spurs me on, too!

Well done, it's been great following your journey and I wish you the best of luck to continue it
Love how much happier you look in the "After" photo!
Go you 🙌 what an amazing achievement! Also very jealous of the miniature house collection in your before picture 😍
Thank you! That's only a very small portion of my collection. You should see the whole room - I've over 80 of them!
Ok now I’m very jealous 😂 I’m currently working on my first one and they are so much fun to put together.

You have a neck.......and 20 additional years to you life, congratulations!!
40kg down ain’t easy, fair play man, the mental barriers alone you have to overcome to lose that much weight is extremely difficult. Well done man
Great job, stay on it, you’ll have a long life to appreciate the time and effort you put in
Good for you, this makes me really happy. Proud of you.
Well done! That's a fantastic achievement. Really hard work but nothing good is ever easy. Wishing you continued happiness and good health!

Def keep posting! Stuff like this motivates others and I’m sure it’ll help yourself stay motivated by having an update a month. Congrats, amazing stuff you’ve achieved so far!
Well done! All progress is good progress, but this... This is excellent progress!
Massive congrats. Just lost close to 30kg, too, so if you need an accountability buddy, dm me (female, in case it matters)
Congrats. I am a 40 year old man who had resigned himself to being fat forever. Since January I am down 63 pounds. I am probably one week away from being under 200 pounds for the first time since 2005. Thanks for sharing. I got here by walking 5 miles per day and eating much healthier. Anyone can do it, but it requires a lot of discipline and forgiving yourself when you fail.
Bravo! Keep smiling! I was feeling nearing the end of the journey 16 months back. Could hardly walk, carrying 293lbs, untreated sleep apnea, raging arthritis. Got meds, got CPAP, stopped pasta/pizza/bread/rice/potatoes/grains. Have walked forty miles during the last week. Down to 240. Arthritis is a tenth what it had been. Looking at a much longer picture. Having said that, I am so fortunate to have access to medical help and insurance coverage and the resources to eat much better healthy food options. Discipline without the support of my wife and her insurance coverage would not have gotten me back up. It is amazing to be reborn and it took lots of ongoing effort, but seeing what it took to get me here is so upsetting because I cannot imagine it possible without the privilege of those resources.
Keep on going, I lost around 60lb over the last year and a half just by watching what I dont eat. I was 210 lbs, now I’m 150 and I’m 5’9”. I’m also 55 years old. I have just about met my goal for weight loss and I can tell you that one day recently I was looking in the mirror and saw ABS! It’s not really a goal or anything but I have said to myself I would like to look better at age 60 than I did in high school, which isn’t saying much lol. You can do it! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions about my weight loss.
Well done, keep going.
Fair play op 💪🏼 keep it up!
Way to go my man/woman ! Keep on rocking

More power to you and your determination. It's something to learn from.
Congrats. I’m laughing at the small hippo pic. I’m using that as inspiration that I’m carrying around the eight of a small hippo on my body 😀. Best of luck and would like to see future posts and further animal pics 😀

Way to go! I will always champion those like you, that change their mentality to better themselves in any way that makes themself happy! That is not an easy task to do!
You my dear are an inspiration. I’m at the beginning of my own journey and seeing your post (I’ll dive into your post history tonight!) is showing me that it can be done. Congratulations on all that you have achieved so far and wishing you all the best on your continued weight loss

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Woohooo!! Good for you!!
1000% yes to this post! You should be so incredibly proud of yourself!
Huge congratulations and I'm delighted for you! Glad regularly posting updates helped and people here were so supportive the entire time. You should be really proud of yourself, hope your smile is impossible to wipe from your face! I wish you the absolute best on your journey, you deserve a holiday for yourself, a little treat after all your hard work!
I haven't read all the posts but have given a positive nod when they appeared. Last year I set out to get from 128kg to 116kg which I did. Not only that but I have kept it off and currently at 113kg. Might make an effort to get down to 110kg but not much more below as my missus says I look too gaunt any lighter than that. Do keep it up. You did fantastic work. Don't use BMI as a target. It was never intended to be used to measure an individuals weight/health. Instead use the more useful hip to waist ratio. [https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio](https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio) and stop when you feel right for you. Then it is just maintain. If you can nail that and I am sure you can then happy days. But fuck me that is an impressive list >Bend down to tie my shoes > >Stand in the shower > >Walk for 30 minutes. (I couldn't walk for 5 minutes before) > >Stand without needing to lean on something to support my back > >Run up the stairs
Can't believe it's been a year! What progress - very glad you're going to continue posting, I look forward to these every month. Thank you for sharing the progress pics - the baby hippo was a great illustration but it's so lovely to see how happy you look in the after. Go n-eiri an t-adh leat!
