Down 40 pounds in 6 months!

Pictures first, here you go, nsfw just to be on the safe side. I am in my boxers in one picture Still need someone to snap a pic of me flexing now, the change is insane from that first shot

Forgive me if the formatting is trash, on posting this from my phone at work.

So I've always been a bigger guy. Played lineman in high school, always liked food, freshman 15 was really a freshman 30 for me, etc. After nearly a decade of being overweight and hating it, I decided enough was enough. I started working out, started eating better and it was a real struggle. I found out getting fit is a lot harder than just losing the weight, and it took me a long time to get into the groove.

Well as of today, I weigh less than I did when I left high school! The last six weeks I've been doing a crossfit bootcamp, and dieting pretty hard, but I lost almost 22 pounds in the last 6 weeks alone it's insane! I'm now officially no longer in the overweight BMI range! Now on to the next goal, 5k in less than 30 mins!

The thing that is really understated with weight loss stories is how you feel. Outside of just losing the weight and being skinnier, which is great and all, but I feel incredible! My mood swings are less severe, I have SO MUCH energy now, I actually crave activities! My relationship with food has been changed forever, the first 3 weeks all I could think about was hitting that final weigh in and eating a whole pizza to myself, but I ended up just eating 3 slices and being able to walk away! It's amazing what has changed so far, and I can't wait to see how far I can push it! I will see yall in another 6 months!

I've lurked on here for awhile but never posted. Seeing all the changes you guys made helped my girlfriend and I finally start thinking about our health and the future. We we're around 280-270 at 5ft 8in. We promised to lose weight in January and decided to run with it. After looking at all the different ways people lost weight, we decided that trying to go vegetarian and counting calories would probably work the best. We limited ourselves to 1600 calories a day and kept at it. I eventually went back to meat simply because the vegetarian meat substitute was starting to get expensive (I can buy chicken patties and get twice as much for the same price). We haven't exercised one bit but we are looking forward to hiking and doing more Sports this summer. I used to BMX race when I was younger and I really want to get back to doing that or mountain biking. The biggest hurdle for me to get over was to stop stress-eating. I've had long standing issues with some mild depression

In desperate need for support

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting on this thread, but I'm in desperate need for support. Please. I'm 26/f. In 2014 I weighed 200 lbs. at that time I decided to make drastic changes to my eating habits and begin exercising. I gradually dropped more and more weight, with some setback of course, until I reached my lowest weight of 140 lbs last summer. At the time I had done keto for about 8 months (with some short breaks from it). Last year, I was also diagnosed with PCOS and started treatment. I stopped keto and included fruit and veggies, oats and other carbs in my diet. All was well until December of 2018. Yes, I'd gained about 5 lbs but still looked and felt fine. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Obviously at some point I must have lost control over my eating and exercise, but I've gained a lot more than I would want to. Today I weighed myself at 152 lbs and measured my waist - almost 3 inches more. Now I realize that it may not sound like a hug
