The Official Eat Like A Bear! Century Club
We are losing massive, life-changing amounts of weight here at Eat Like a Bear! We have thousands of success cases, of people reaching goal weights by losing 30, 40, and 50 pounds, but we have a real knack for attracting people at high starting weights and it is our top goal to drive life-changing weight loss among this population.
We measure our overall community success in 100+ pound loss cases and we have an honorary designation for members who have met this milestone. We call them “Century Bears” and we list them on this page.
We hit our Century Century Bear mark in May 2021 and the core leadership team surprised our 100th Century Bear on her Orlando doorstep, in a story you can find here.
What is a “Century Case”?
A “century case” is those people who have lost at least 100 pounds since finding Eat Like a Bear! We have talked a good bit about how to measure a “century case” — from a member’s high weight or from their weight in finding Eat Like a Bear! We have two lists here. The first main list includes people who are down 100 pounds or more as a result of their membership in our community. That is the official list that we count in our counter. We have a second group of testimonies of people who made it to the century mark with Eat Like A Bear! but had lost a good chunk elsewhere first. We are excited about anyone losing 100 pounds any way at all, but we separate our stories just to get all official about things.
We should also add that for as much as we have become known for a very specific food approach, The Ridiculously Big Salad, we do have community members who have succeeded with other low carb meal models. Dwayne is a great example: We will never find Dwayne eating a salad. He was a first generation Bear back before we even realized how cool salads were, and he is a testament to working out whatever is going to work for you.
As you can imagine, everyone’s story varies, which is why we are working real hard on getting individual stories on the website. Where century case stories are already published here on this website, we provide a link in the list.
The Eat Like A Bear! Century Club
Here we have the beginnings of the official list organized by the date each person hit the mark. I am still collecting the actual days — I had not appreciated how much we might need them. The date is the month the person hit the century-down mark. If you are on this list, send us a date if we don’t have one or if your date is incorrect. We include last names and links for people who are already profiled on the website.

Down 100 from high weights (multiple approaches)
Many people find us some pounds down and make it to the finish line with us. I love these stories because I am interested in what landed them in our community. We are also increasingly becoming known for getting to the finish line, and so I expect a lot of Century Cases just like these.
(Some people in our main list above may actually belong here, so if that is the case with you, let us know at support [at] eatlikeabear [dot] com)

I'm proud to have made it this far and continue to make progress.
Elizabeth
Congratulations!!!
CONGRATULATIONS! Elizabeth, thank you for sharing & being an inspiration to others, like me. I'm so proud to be on this incredible journey with you! Let's keep the grinding going
Great job by all. So much difference. So amazing. Love it Just life changing. My Wife and I were on getting back on it after all these testaments. Great job all.
Love these ladies and gentlemen!!!
I’m a “begin again” every day, type of weight loss
person. Fall off the wagon? Try again.
Thank you for the inspirational stories!!!
I am looking forward to joining the Eat Like a Bear Community and shedding a hundred
pounds. My sister joined last year and she lost fifty pounds already, just by following your changes in eating.
Kathy
I would love to join your group,I need to lose about 75 lbs,please I need your help.
Deanna, start with the 3 day Challenge. That really helped me to finally get going. From there I initially just kept doing the 3 day Challenge back to back, until I found more salad variations with the help of Amanda’s book. You got this.
Hi There,
I reached my 100 # pounds on May 31,2021. Exactly one year after starting ELB. My starting weight was 294. I am one happy Bear. I haven’t been in Onederland since High School. Thank you Amanda for showing me how to make this possible. Also all my fellow Bears for all the encouragement
That’s amazing
This a miracle group!. Such encouragement for us all. I dont think I could have made it except for Amanda and all the bears. Know I am not alone and we all care about each other helped me more than any could know. Thank you Amanda . Such words arent enough. My life has changed. Who am I. I dont think its even hit 100 pounds. Still have more to go but Oh I could go on and on. THANK YOU AMANDA AND ALL THE BEARS. Good luck every one YOU CAN do this. This works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this approach When I loose 100 lbs I will be136 not sure if I need to lose that much I’m 77’yrs old I’ve lost 14 lbs so far Thank you Amanda for caring about people and I know you will reap your reward
I reached onelander in my first year on ELAB. Made my goal to lose 100 lbs in one year and even made it under 200lbs on the scale by then as well.
Now, 15 months in and I have evicted over 115+ ❤️
So grateful to have found this wonderful community to support me along the way.
Well i started invthe end of april2022,down 30 lbs i love this diet.
I don’t see my name on the list. I became a century bear on March 10, 2022. HW360, SW346.8 on 6/1/21, Century Bear Status 3/10/22, CW 223.6. Please add me to the list. Thanks!
I am also a century bear! I’ve lost a total of 110#s and ELAB is what got me there!! Thank you Amanda Rose and all of my fellow bears! Couldn’t have done it without you!
Fabulous!
FANTASTIC! I am so inspired . I just started the 3 day 3 challenge and love what I see.
starting weight is 220. My goal is to be in short pants this summer
This is nothing short of a Miracle!!! I have 30 pounds to go and nothing seemed to be working. I found your article in Womans World and jumped on board! I lost 10 pounds in my first 9 days. I originally weighed over 200 pounds, was on Keto and lost down to 165 for a long time was unable to lose any more. My goal is to lose the fat in my stomach which until now was impossible. Now I am seeing results and know that I will reach my goal. I Love all the stories and laugh and cry with them, they are so encouraging and the before and after pictures are Beautiful and Amazing!!!
As of 3/4/23 I officially became a Century Bear! 100 Pounds down. I am SO grateful!
Kim Johnson
I started Eat Like A Bear one year ago. I didn’t weigh myself then or now but I’ve gone from a size 22-24 to a size 12-14. I’d say it’s over 100 pounds gone. It’s worth it, it works, stay on goal because the compliments are lovely but you FEEL fabulous inside and out. My husband said, “I’ve got my baby back”. But I didn’t do it for him. I did it for me.
PK Madsen, age 56
That’s at least 100! Congratulations!!! I’ll add you!
When do you estimate you hit the 100 mark, PK?
I’m down from 283 to 175 it’s been a blessing to see you on Facebook Mrs rose I had started following you and let me tell you it’s a game changer
Heck yeah, Felicia! When did you hit the century mark (down 100 pounds)?
I have lost 90 lbs! May of 2022 I weighed 300 lbs. I was given a pre- diabetic Dx due to elevated Hgb A1C. So I started a low carb diet and lost 20 Lbs then I found Eat Like a Bear and lost another 70 lb . The weight loss took about 14 months. I am 5’9″ and would like to lose another 20 lbs. My hubby ate according to the meal plan and lost 50 Lbs. I went from size 22 to size 14. I am 70 years old and off all medications. Thank You for the plan and all you do,
Amanda.
Heck yeah, Venice! Congratulations!!!
I am just beginning the ELB method and I am praying I will have the same success like the ones I have read about. I am 75 and needing to do this for my health.
