    fabulous. May I ask, where did you get the will power all of a sudden to make the change? My husband is overweight and I feel he will never get the motivation to lose the weight.

    My legs were hurting so bad i finally said "ENOUGH!" I felt trapped inside my body because I could not do things that I wanted to do because of my weight. The next day I downloaded a calorie count app and started walking. Just little walks at first. I also cut out all of the sweets, junk food and fast food and started to utilize portion control and eating non-processed foods. Now I play VolleyBall at the gym two times a week and walk 6-10 miles a day. Next year I plan on going zip-lining, horseback riding, and for the first time in about 15 years I will be able to ride all the rides at an local amusement park. My future has never looked better! :)

    Well first of all congratulations.
    Now, how do you do that!!?? There was xvanity a couple of weeks ago with 100+ in just over 6 months... what kind of dedication do you have? Where do you take the motivation day in day out? :o

    Lots of walking and eating right is how I did it. My motivation comes from just wanting to not be limited on what I can do. I also have an amazing support group at work, home, and on social media. They help keep me going!!

    Awesome, you started at the same weight I did, but it is taking me a lot longer to do what you are doing. Any problems with loose skin losing that much weight that fast?

    The loose skin isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have very little under my biceps which will be filled once I start working with some weights. I have some on my stomach but not too bad. The worst is the upper inside of my thighs because my legs were so big. Even they are starting to look better than they did.
