  I lost 145lbs about 10 years ago and I&apos;ve been able to keep it off. There were so many things that I didn&apos;t understand that I do now. I think reason I have been successful is because I was already deep in my therapy journey. I did try to share my journey in the beginning but I couldn&apos;t keep up with it. I jad too many raw feelings and I&apos;m not very good at hiding things. I will say that keeping consistent with the boring things are extremly helpful. Journaling about what you feel and what works for you. Good luck, I am rooting for you!!!

  Good news and bad news. It is true that body does keep score and attempts to go back to a weight that it feels safe at (set point). The good news is new studies have shown that if you keep weight off for at least a year it, the body can develop a new set point. I was relieved to hear this because it felt hopeless that my own body was fighting me.

  I lost 70lbs in 2015. I went from 215 to 145 within 8 months of hard work and focus. I was able to keep my weight off until I fell 4ft out a building and broke my tail bone in 2017 and then fell into deep depression. I slowly gained the weight back little by little. By 2023 I was 185 and I found out I had cancer, gained 45lbs(230lbs) within 6 months of treatment. Took a &nbsp;whole year to get down to 185…then I relapsed late 2025. Did treatment, Gained 30lbs since and currently 215.
