    Hi guys! Thank you all ladies! No surgery for the weight loss ! No skin removal either ( I embrace my loose skin!) it is tightening up though through slower weight loss and lifting free weights! The before pic was taken Jan 2014 and my weight was 350lbs! My new photo I am 179lbs!

    You look amazing - I'm only losing 1-2 lb a week so feel a bit disheartened the road ahead seems so long, how long did it take and what was you avg weekly loss thanks -

    Even though its not addressed to me I wanted to comment on this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with losing a pound or two a week. That is a perfectly normal amount. Try to remember that the weight didn't come on over night and it wont come off that quickly either. Also,a slower loss is better. it gives your body time to adapt to the changes and your much more likely to sustain your weight loss. Yes, it may be a long road, but time is going to pass either way. Every single pound that you lose is a pound less than you weighed before.
    Had to jump in and say thanks! This encouraged me too!

    Do people you have not seen for a while recognize you now?

    Yes and it's hilarious! I love it! I almost can't believe it myself!

    I would never recommend more than 2lbs a week! At first it fell of like 4-5 lbs a week bc it was such a drastic lifestyle change I made! Now it's half a lb here or 1 lb a week ! Slow and steady wins the race! I actually added calories to my diet bc I didn't want to loose too fast

    Fantastic transformation! Congratulations on your success.

    Just curious, was there anyone here on MFP that helped you along the way or inspired you?

    Each and every person has helped me! I love the community this has brought! I love the feed back from others and reading other pols diaries for ideas! This app is amazing

    You are doing it right!!! Don't loose more than 2 a week! Now it's slowed down for me! About a 1lb a week! Sometimes nothing! I'm just so happy to be living a healthier lifestyle!!!

    That's what you look like at 179?!?! You look like you are 130 at most! I'm at 187 and I look nothing like you and 5'3"
