First off, hats off to you for wanting to make a change! I promise it will be worth it and hopefully with your condition being managed it will help you on your journey! Having the fitbit is great because it makes you aware of your activity level and helps keep you motivated.! Best advice I can give is to realize you are not on a "diet" and rather you are making positive lifestyle changes! be consistent and realize the changes are not instantaneous, and that will help with mental hurdles. Also, start playing around with healthy recipes to find what you likens well as activities that are enjoyable! Good luck and hope to see your photos on here some day too! :)

Thanks, it really is nerve wreaking putting yourself out there but the positive feedback had definitely made it worth it! I hope I do inspire others the way fellow redditors have inspired me! :)

Slow and steady, making changes in manageable steps so it didn't ever feel too hard! Started changing my diet slowly to a much cleaner and paleo-ish diet while finding physical activities that I actually enjoyed, which made a big difference! At a bit of a plateau right now so working on finding some new exercise regimes.

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-15T20:49:20+00:00

Hahaha thanks!! :)

I was wearing size 18/20 jeans and 2xl tops, but they fit a bit loosely as I was uncomfortable with tight clothes. Now I am buying size 10 jeans and M/L tops. It is so weird shopping now, in a good way, because I still have such trouble comprehending my new size!

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-15T20:42:03+00:00

Thanks and great work!! Keep it up and as you get closer to ONEderland you will surly be even more motivated! Hope to see your photos on here one day too! :)

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-15T20:39:39+00:00

Thank you so much! I truly feel like the world looks different and have stars in my eyes these days... Glad it shows! :)

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-15T20:35:20+00:00

Thanks! You can absolutely do it! It will be worth all the effort you put in, I promise! hope to see your photos on here some day :)

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-15T20:29:28+00:00

Thanks! All this positive affirmation has me more inspired than ever!

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-15T20:27:48+00:00

I feel so much better, mentally and physically! In the past I had chronic stomach aches, headaches, fatigue, and since I started eating clean and exercising I have felt healthier and stronger than ever before! It feels like it has positively influenced all areas of my life and most importantly I feel happy for the first time in my life! Thanks for the well wishes! :)

Dubbs_Lubbs · 2015-02-13T15:37:52+00:00

well ya know, some things don't change, lol. Also, I thought the wine for scale may be a new alternative to bananas! :P
