Meet: I’ve lost 104lbs but I use a variety of methods, but I mostly count macros, Herbalife and drink lots of water and go to the gym at least once a week. There is nothing I love more than being able to help people who are battling the same demons as me. This journey isn’t easy, and at times, feels so lonely. One of the biggest things that impacted me in a positive way during my initial weight loss was following instagram accounts of people who I identified with. They were on a path I was desperately trying to get on - and stay on. Because of these accounts, I felt like if they could do it, so could I. On my worst days, I could find someone I follow who was also having a bad day. Then I found this community, Wlstories! I can’t imagine a better, more supportive community. Last year, I went alone to the meetup. I was nervous, but getting to meet so many other kind souls who have battled this beast was humbling and I felt like I belonged!! I’m so grateful to this group, both near and far, for keeping it positive, fun and inspiring. Make sure you follow people you identify with! We are your tribe. Starting tip: Surround yourself in positivity. Whether it’s online, or in person. You should make sure that even on the rough days, you have people or outlets that bring you back on track.

Special note from Keith: Today marks the 6th yr anniversary our community lost a star. I dedicate today to Amanda. It doesn't matter if you didn't know Amanda. We are a community. We're in this together. We pick eachother up when we fall. That's WHY we are a community, so it can be a little bit easier. Amanda was one of us.

Meet: Amanda Alvear She lost over 170lbs!!!! Amanda was also taken from us in the recent tradegy that occurred at the pulse nightclub in Orlando. She changed her entire life and was a shining light of hope to everyone in our community. Like many of us she documented her entire journey on her Instagram. We all know how scary that can be, to put yourself out there and hope for the best. Amanada was BRAVE, she was FEARLESS. She was a hero in every sense of the word. She embodied the spirit of the WL community and was EVERY thing we hope to become. Reports that have come out confirmed Amanda had a chance to escape the nightmare that occurred that evening but went back for her friend!! She tried to save her best friend Mercedes life. Amanda's courage will never ever be forgotten. EVERYONE in the WL community here has Amanda in their hearts. We are in this TOGETHER. This is something Amanda knew. She lived to help others. She was going to become a nurse, she wanted to change the world with her service to others. She did so.

This was the hardest post I've ever had to write, I cried multiple times. The most touching moment in wlstories occurred after I posted this same post 6 yrs ago. I asked you to donate what you could to Amanda's family gofundme page; they had 25k goal when we posted, this was met a few weeks later. By far our community wasn't the reason this goal was met; but literally dozens of people sent me screenshot last of their donations. From $5-$500. ...the love that was shown by our community to Amanda put me in tears. Never underestimate the power of love. Thank you so much for allowing me to take a moment and reflect on this beautiful life. -Keith
