I'm so close to being down 100lbs!! I haven't been this "small" since I was 20?

It's crazy how much I enjoy walking now. :) I started super slow, calorie deficit only, and began picking up my walking in December 2025 (to prep for my trip to Japan).

I lost 7lbs in Japan alone (March 2026) and have kept up that same mindset since. Sometimes when I want to increase my speed, I pretend I'm trying to catch the Shinkansen in the Tokyo train station and that helps 🤣

Thank you for all who have been following my journey! I'm hoping to lose another 28lbs for my first goal of 130 😁

While I'm still struggling to get from "obese" to "overweight" based on my BMI, I am so happy to be down 80lbs and wore a bikini for the first time in...12+ years? Getting into the 160s has been incredibly hard for some reason.

I don't even care about my stretch marks and loose skin, I felt amazing. I hope everyone does ❤️

I had been wanting to lose weight but kept pushing it off. "I'll start tomorrow" but tomorrow wasn't coming. If I didn't make a change, I was going to be the one slowing my group down like I had done in Canada. I was already in pain, how was I going to walk 10, 15, 20k steps a day? I didn't want to be uncomfortable...I didn't want to be "the biggest person" in Japan. My only regret? That tomorrow didn't come sooner for me. I went to Japan in March of 2026 having lost almost 60lbs and have since lost another 16 :)

I still have 40lbs before I reach my goal, but only 10lbs more before I am "overweight" instead of "obese" and I can't wait for that moment...!!

This is all too while focusing on trying to build muscle the last 2 months instead of just fat loss :)

I'm just shy of a year but here is my progress so far:) SW 248, CW 178, GW 135.
