Thank you for sharing this. I am currently in similar shape (your bottom photo). I was down to 122 lbs after I quit 2 years ago, then in less than a year and a half I gained close to 30 lbs (to 2 months ago to 152 lbs). I carry it ALL in my belly. It sucks. Back 10 years ago I was 105 lbs and in the best shape of my life. Life happened (ie SH*T including divorce) and slowly I went to hell in a hand basket (although I did find and fall in love then married my hubby nowā¦ we did like to drink, daily and a lotā¦ so double edged sword).
We are now working on ourselves ans regaining our healthy selves once and for all!
You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing.

Aaaawwweā¦ you sweet thing. We are 2 ships that passed in the night. Listen, stress can wreak havic on the body in all sorts of ways. I believe thatās how its possible to pack on weight so fast. I never had before. I make many decisions throughout my dayā¦ every time I moveā¦ I move more. Even if itās parking the car further away from a store so I move more. Every time I go to eat, anythingā¦ I ask myself will this help me or hurt me to get me where I want to beā¦ It helps my recovery process as a by product. I just donāt overwhelm myself today. If I contribute to what outcome I want every day, Girl those days add up and results start happening. Celebrate the small victories. I believe you can do this. It blows my mind what we are capable of, just never let ourselves believe itā¦ You better start believing, you hear me??? Love you.

3 girls is amazing as someone who is 40 and has never had motherly cluckyness to want to have kids, hearing that you have had 3 daughters is nobel prize status in my eyes because it blows my mind thinking about how you manage because as a woman who can only just look after my own needs let alone a small tribe of of springs, it blows my mind at your strength. Your a powerful woman and nothing less

Goodmorning!
I got my share of chocolat too @Truckinmonster21, maybe it was a āweekendā thing. I didnāt eat a lot and I enjoyed it so it was fine. I allow myself to eat chocolat ones a week. That keeps myself insane 
Wow, you look like two different persons @ProofOfLife! What a transformation!! 
Hi @Butterflymoonwoman Iām doing intermitting fasting too, iām doing it mainly because of the health benefits. But loosing some weight is a gift too.
Iāve only 1 kilo (2,2 lbs) to go and Iām on my goal weight. Iām not in a hurry. Trying to addept to a new lifestyle: plantbased food and mainly WFPB.
I fast almost every day from 18.30 untill 13.00 the next day.
See you around people, we are doing great!

First meal of the day 12pm (ish, little bit late today)
Will have dinner at 4-5pm.
Yoga done. Going out on a walk with some friends soon. Weāre going to the beach so will take around 2.5 hours there and back. Should be good for the day 
Had my vitamin and must remember to drink plenty of waterā¦ itās not something I tend to struggle with but I do forget over the day, so then will drink loads at evening time, which only means broken sleep and Iām up and down to the toilet all night 
so, drink more during the day then Iāll be less thirsty at night 
thatās the plan anyway.
Hope everyone has a good day!!

It looks delicious.
I am on day 64 with the healthy habits and am down 13.5 kg (29.7 pounds). Feeling great. I bought 3 dresses one size smaller than I normally buy and they fit! I really like the two of them and only return the third because I didnāt like it enough.
I have packed some of my bigger dresses (I only wear dresses) away. Think I have 7 now that fit. And that is enough.

You are very kind. There has been so much stress, ups and downs, good things and bad over the last 10 years. Its amazing in some ways Im still standing. Not only was I stressed, but hubby and I turned to alcohol to just relax every night. I was always slender through all the years when I was younger and even when I had my 2 daughters I weighed less or maybe about what I do now when I was full term, I donāt look THAT much different which drives me wildly insaneā¦ especially when people who I dont know or even those who I do know but havenāt seen in YEARS approach me and ask if Iām pregnant! Ahhh nooo!!! Im too old for that (46 and hubby is 50, plus we are also been previously sterilized when we were married to our exes)ā¦
As you said about celebrating the small victoriesā¦ that is exactly what I intend to do each and every day. I know Iāll get to where I am hoping to be, but ultimately I just want to be healthy and happy again. To be at peace.
I see you have 3 daughters? Iām sure you probably havenāt mentioned this somewhere and some point, but I havenāt seen where at yetā¦ how old are your daughters? Just curious!
Thank you again, so much for such a thoughtful reply. It means so much to me to have found some genuinely good people on here who are undeniably becoming some true friends. I thank you.

I totally get you! Well, actually I do have my 2 daughters 17 and 22 (they are 5 years and 1 day apart!!) but ALSO I have my 2 step kids, 1 daughter who will be 23 1/2 and 1 son who is 20! The coolest thing about our perfectly blended family is I ended up getting a redheaded daughter (my 2 girls have brown hair) and then I also got a son! Iāve been in their lives since they were 13 1/2 and 10. My hubby has been in my girls lives since they were 7 and 12. Our 4 kids actually act like they are real siblings. It is quite remarkable!!!
You have a GREAT GREAT day!!! I love that, SIS!

This may be slightly opposite of the main topic but still within reachā¦
Iāve never weighed over 115lbs in my whole life and I started working out in middle school while playing basketball, then all through high school (basketball, and varsity track and field as a freshman) and then into college and as a young adult with a couple off seasons here and there. So Iāve been decently fit my whole life but could never gain weight with my high metabolism. It sounds nice but trust me it brings a lot of body dysphoria and self hate not being able to gain good weight no matter how much I focus and put the work in.
However, to the good news, I weighed myself this morning and Iām currently sitting at 119.8lbs at 30 years old. Canāt begin to express how freaking happy this makes me and with an 1.5hr/2hr workouts 6 days a week since the start of this year Iām finally seeing good toning and muscle mass come in!!! 
I think Iāve found my sweet spot! Now to just keep chippinā away at my goal.
