Thank you so much ; w ; *hugs for all eternity*

You done did good there, your effort hasn't gone to waste!

Thank you ; w ;

Wow. I'm glad that worked for you. It's changing that relationship with food and exercise which is the hardest part! Keeping those changes are hard... If you ever are in Santa Cruz CA, we can go for a hike in the redwoods or the along the cliffs or beach ^-^

PS: Do you have a transcription and/or full rez version? ^-^;

OMG, yes, that would sound like a dream! I've always wanted to see the redwoods ; w ; Wehhhh, why is it so far....

And updated the image! Sorry for the small size ; ;

It's important to have good allies, too. It's just as easy to spread good habits as bad. ^-^ And I love to hike, which is why I live in the woods.

I want to read thees but it is too small :o

Eep! Sorry, fixed it XD

I really need to get back on the reorganizing edible food train, but my RL has been really...depressive lately @_@. old old grandmother and I take care of her most of the time.

You've never looked ugly! :D but it's better to be not heavily overweight, in real life. You should totally keep using that bag.

Thanks so much! And I completely understand where you're coming from.
I gained most of my weight from depression as well because junk food is just such a quick, accessible thing that makes us feel better the second we put it in our mouths. It's all a matter of not taking the easy path. Whether that be cooking at home more often instead of eating out, making healthier food choices when shopping or eating out and making sure our portions are proper. You can do it, just start out slow and go at your pace :) Little changes make big impacts over time ;)

Similar to my story. I lost 185 lbs in 10 months. Good job friend glad to hear your success.

Wow, that's amazing!!!! Congrats to you as well

Whoa! You did a spectacular job. Many congrats Jitensha!

Thank you ; w ;

I need to lose the weight I gained back. I was like 260 pounds in highschool then played tennis and such and went down to 180. Now since I've been out and in the real world for a while I gained back like 60 pounds D;

Quite the transformation.

Thanks >w<

Wow congratulations! This was quite a story. Truely am happy you managed to do this.

Thank you so much ; w ;

Wow! Good job! That is really amazing, doesn't matter how long something takes, you set a goal and keep going you reach it eventually and that is one impressive goal reached! And imo 3 years is a pretty quick time for that much weight too! Enjoy it!

Thank you so, so much! I worked really hard and kept steady on my path!

You can do anything you set your mind to *optimistic high five*

*high fives* indeed! I lost 30lbs so far last year myself ^^ But i have a feeling you worked a HELL of a lot harder then me. All i did was cut out all junk food and soda and such from my diet <,< But then again its easier for guys to loss weight. So that all the more props to you!

Congrats dude!! 30lbs is still an impressive amount!! :)
And it's true that guys lose faster, but the also gain faster, so be careful!!! I'm always reminding my husband XD

Yeah... still would like another 10-20 lbs off but oh well. Im content where I am for no, either way grats again and good luck!

Thank you! And as long as you're healthy and happy, that's all that matters! I was just very unhealthy before ><;

well done hon i just wish i had the will power to do the same !! ^v^

You can do it!!! STAY STRONG!! Just remember it takes time!!
Take it day by day, each day is one day closer to your goal!

I was able to do it, and if a lazy ass like myself can do it, you can too!!! *waves arms in the air like a maniac*

You go girl!

Thank you!! >w< *internet high five*!

Everything about this is soooo right, way to go, so glad you are telling everyone about it, and with your amazing artwork to boot.

Thank you so much ; w ; *blushes hotter than the friggen' sun*

I'm glad for you, Jiten.

Even though I'm a guy who prefers bigger ladies, I understand entirely how weight can get stigmatized in society and what matters most is how one feels about oneself. I still struggle with weight, given I gained a lot since I came to college, but I'm glad you persevered and worked had! Hopefully I can meet a weight loss goal too.

Congratulations!

Thank you so much! And you can do it!!!
For me, the judging looks did sometimes get to me, but I never really felt ugly or unattractive.
My main concern was always for health

Thank you, I'll work hard at it!

The looks from others are a definite pain, but its good you knew the real you. I'm glad you got yourself in a better condition health wise too!

That's super important to never change who you are even if your outer appearance changes :3

Thanks again ; w ;

Agreed, and you're welcome!

Very inspirational in my eyes.

It's nice to see real life instances of people actually achieving their goals and not those constant stupid commercials saying that they reached their weight goal in 2-5 months losing some ludicrous amount of weight in a short time. But truly knowing it's going to take more than a year or longer and not getting myself all depressed about it is helpful.

Thanks for posting this. :)

I'm so glad I could help in anyway ; w ; You totally got this!!
AND YES! Thanks for pointing out how phony those diets are! True story, one of my friends had to sew a company because they used her photo as a stock 'after' shot. She wasn't even ever overweight!

Hey sexy :p. Just teasing, but I am really glad you have managed to achieve your goal. It is very inspirational

Thank you so much! ; w ; *does pathetic hip shaking 'sexy' dance*

No problem. I actually wish i had your willpower. I am very keen on giving up myself and i can understand my reasoning behind me although it really does baffle me. So i tend to just go into grave depression just because. Now mostly is about my job, but weight control issues can count in (i do 20 minute aerobics every day, but feel like its not enough, might even go on to try sports one of these days. And keep tracking seems useful, i just wish i had more support IRL.

Anyway ^^ enjoy your new figure *claps*

Woah, well at least you know what your blocker is! A lot of people really don't know! I think finding some sort of activity that you like will be great! Boxing has been great not only for my health, but socially as well. I made a lot of friends after seeing them class after class, working with the same instructor. We all help motivate each other, text each other when we miss class LOL. And tracking is also great! My Fitness Pal is an app I recommend, and there is a social aspect to the app, which might help you if you need that motivation. I know that the internet can't replace support from people physically near you, but at least you know everyone there is going through the same exact thing you are! Stay strong, you can totally do it!! ; ;

Hehe, thank you for the inspiring words *hugs ya*

*hug* >w<!!!!!

hehe ^_^

Good work! I need to actually gain willpower...

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!! THINK OF ALL THE BACK FLIPS YOU COULD DO!!! O_O;

Maybe like... 1! OMG!

But come on....that would be so worth it >w>

My weight-loss journey ^^ (NOT PORN, BORING LIFE SHIT)

But what if boring life shit involving weight loss is my fetish?

I kid kid. Congratulations on all your hard work and your amazing results.

Well I suppose, rule 34 and all XD But thank you so much!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh you're amazing. Thank you for this. As a women whose sexuality is TF centric, this is really really inspiring.
For all of my life, my relationship with food has been one where it has been my most accessible form of pleasure and control. But this gives a boost to keep on my path of trying to take control of my body and emotions. I've been at the gym for 7 years, off and on, but it is the intake that is of course the real issue.

I'm glad I could help in anyway ; w ; And you are absolutely right! I learned the hard way how important food intake is over exercise. You can do it girl ; w ; *high five*!

*highfive* Yeah I've been at the gym for years and am OK on that front, but that darn intake factor means that I have good cardio and blood pressure, but don't lose any weight. :)

For the "retraining your brain about food", what did you find really helped? Like I use myfitnesspal, I understand a lot about nutrition, but my brain has a hard time giving up that daily "food is your main pleasure reward" thinking.

~C*

I let myself enjoy bad things just in moderation. To this day, if I want chocolate, pizza, burgers, etc I let myself have them. I'll just make sure that I have a proper portion ^^ Like obviously that doesn't mean eat garbage for every meal, but if you feel that today you've been eating more or less making right choices, and I'm offered something that I know is not healthy, I'll let myself have it! Sometimes it's just making little switches so that I don't over eat. Instead of getting a whole doughnut, I might get 3 munchkins. Instead of buying a whole tub of ice cream I might go with the smaller 4 oz cups. If I want an unhealthy meal, I might go with the kids option. If I want a burger, maybe I wont get a bun and fries (I really just care about the cheese and meat :P). The more you make something 'off limits' the more likely you are to crave it >w<

I've gone through a lot of tough times in the past few years and sadly gained a good amount of weight. I'm not happy about it and I'm still working through my issues, but seeing this was extremely inspirational to me. Granted it was the last place I expected it haha. But it makes me feel better and gives me the hope that I can turn things around and probably end up better than before. Thank you for this. Keep fighting the good fight! I plan to.

Thank you so much ; w ; And I'm glad I could help in anyway!
And sorry XD I know it's so random posting it here, but I thought that a lot of people struggle with weight, and it *might* help someone!
Even if it helps motivate one person I know it was worth it @_@

Woohoo!! That's awesome to see you reached your gaols!!

Thank you so much ; w ;

I'm looking at the 2-liter in my room, while moved to a new borough. Checking this out, it does make me yearn to be in my high school weight and beyond. New place, new body? Goodness, seems obtainable after checking this out. Thanks for your candidness.

By any chance did you use Fatsecret or any other calorie tracking app to lose weight progressively and comfortably without feeling strained?

I know how hard it can be, but you can do it!!!!!!! I think a new place is a great time to start some new positive habits ;D

And I use the My Fitness Pal app! It's very convenient ^^

Ma'am we don't know each other and we may never speak again, but, i'm proud of you. you you made a goal and stuck to it until the end. You did very well and you are an inspiration. i wish you the best of luck on future endeavours.

Thank you so much ; w ; And of course I'd speak to you again! XD You took the time to say something nice, so you're obviously awesome :P

I know you mention this is the result of a 3-year work but just curious, when did you actually started to see and "feel" any real difference?
I dunno... I have tried several times before. I'd exercise, I'd regulate my food in-take, increase the "healthy stuff"... and I'd end up about 3-4 months later feeling the exact same and even at times actually having gained weight (no joke and its the worst feeling).

Well, I was having some back problems at my heaviest, so I'd say I physically felt a difference after 30 lbs or so, but when I felt a difference in how I perceived myself, I'd say it was after 80~100 lbs. That's when I truly felt like a different person...like I couldn't recognize myself anymore...in a good way :P

Your not porn real life shit was actually pretty amusing. And a bit of an encouragement.

Thanks so much XD I'm glad it could help!

You're welcome~ Congrats too.

Thanks ; w ; *blush*

You're welcome :3

Congrats on meeting your goal.

Thank you so much ; 3 ;

You're welcome. Also I really like your art and stories. Will there be a new comic coming out soon?

Thanks! And hopefully this summer ^^ ....I'm still just swamped with commissions currently :/ Once I work them off I have a few comic ideas ^w^

Congrats on loosing weight, though, I like the third pic from the right best myself.

Thanks ^^

Like for serious ^~^ you looked great before, honestly i like them a bit thicker, its more cuddly that way ^~^ but you do look great now as well!. Cute socks :3

Thanks <3 And don't worry, I'm Latina, I couldn't not have some thickness, even if I tried X3

Seriously, great work! I'm on it myself and I know how hard it is! Congradulation! (Up to now, I lost almost 50 lbs!)

Thank you so much, and CONGRATS!!! 50 lbs is no easy feat! *high five*!! :D

Thanks! But I still have around 85 to go!

You've gotten this far, you know you can do it!!!!!!!! >:3 *cheers*

Thanks! :hug:

Just got here, and saw this. Congrats. That is a really huge accomplishment. I am also going through this as well. I just lack the getting out part, but that will be changing soon.

Thank you so much!!!!!
And good for you dude, you can do it >w<!!!

This is amazingly inspiring... Coming from that mindset that most of us are all too familiar with in one form or another... and you broke through! Wow! Congratulations on your success, I'll keep you in mind as a little hero to look up to as I continue striving for my own goals! Thanks! ^^

Thank you so much ; w ; And sorry for the late reply >w< Good luck! I know if I can do it, anyone can do it <3

I know this is years old but holy hell that's a ton of weight loss! You *did* lose the squishy cuddleness factor, but I'm pretty sure that your motivation and personal self confidence blew everything else out of the water! Dang!
