Thank you SO much for sharing your story! I still have a LONG way to go and have really been struggling with making bad eating choices for the last 9 months. Therefore, my weight hasn't really gone down since then. Like both of you my husband tells me I am beautiful and truly makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful women in the world. I am fortunate to have his unconditional love. I do wish, however, I had a "buddy" I could call for support who was going through the same journey I am on. I have been a food addict for years and it is a real struggle. However, your story reminded me that with or without a buddy it's a journey that I NEED to finish! You and your friend are INSPIRATIONAL! I will think of the both of you when I'm tempted to make bad choices.

And you both look AWESOME! :drinker:

deksgrl asked about what I do for strength training. I started with doing an Activtrax program at my gym. It tells me each day what weight machines to do. Once I got seasoned with that I added some strength classes. I take abs and boot camp class both of which combine strength with cardio. I have just recently added a TRX class.

Mom2ATM, it is so frustrating when you know you have a lot to lose and the pounds come off in these tiny little increments. One day when I was still in the beginning (over 300lbs) I remember I lost 1 pound and I said to Diane (while pointing at my body in tears) "One pound on THIS?" I was so upset, but when I said that she busted out laughing and then I got tickled. That quote became one of our mantras. Now it's so funny when I point at my body and say "173 pounds on THIS?" And yes please read all posts in a southern twang (my husband calls it "deep woods off")!

deksgrl

I'll say it again, awesome And funny too!

Wow, what an amazing accomplishment! I don't have as much weight to lose, but still have battled the yo-yo weight roller coaster since having my first baby almost 27 years ago. Thanks for sharing your inspirational story, I hope to finally lose the weight that I need to lose and keep it off once and for all!
