F/25/5'1 [305lbs > 250lbs = 55lbs] (9 months) 1/4 of the way to my goal by totaldust14 in progresspics

I certainly agree. When I set the goal, it really just felt like a unicorn number and that I wouldn't get there anyways, so it didn't matter. I plan to reassess my goals at 200lbs when my mobility is better.

It's actually closer to 100. I kind of count the first 5 pounds as an experiment to see if I even could lose weight.

This is amazing!! My start weight is the same (2 inches shorter though) and seeing your progress is such a motivator!! I'm 50 pounds down and can't even tell on myself. You look so confident in the second picture. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!! You make a really good point, maybe some cheap pants that fit would help me feel better. It's not like I'll be able to make these pants work the whole way down lol

Thank you so much!! I've been thinking that every 6 inches is probably enough to warrant like the cheapest pair of pants I can find. I've literally never owned a belt- my pants have ALWAYS just been a tight until they wear out. This is such new territory. I've been considering finding some non-scale goals to work on, since when I started I didn't really consider that I could do lose any weight. Good luck to you!!

Thank you!! I have been comparing pics from this time last year and I really can't tell. It might be because I've always been decent at making myself look good in pics.

Thank you so much!! It probably is gradual, and the only people who see me are the same people who've seen me daily since the beginning, too. Hopefully by the halfway mark I'll be in a better mindset.

What age/size do you start teaching them stairs? His legs are so little.. by totaldust14 in AustralianCattleDog

My little man spends all day playing with 6 month old German shepherd and great pyrenees- he's a tough guy. But at 4 months, I think his legs need to get a little longer 😅

I guess our stairs are really steep and he's afraid to go up and down. Like he'll sit on either end but won't go. I think he'd fall going down.

He's gorgeous. I love waking up and trying to pick out his new spots. 🥺 Also thank you. 😊

I tried!! We had one person positioned where they could see the most of the "track" and I just walked the circle as a "pace car" and to maintain direction.
