    Congratulations! Loved reading your story.. especially the part about diet and exercise.. it truly is the "magic". I have lost 65 lbs and constantly have people asking me what the "trick" was.. they seem disappointed when its the old fashioned diet and exercise!!

    My favourite line of all time is Oprah Winfreys: "if I could buy it, don't you think I would have?"

    Thanks for the inspiration.. I have 35 lbs or so to go...

    Totally awesome achievement, congrats to you.
    I did it!! I actually did it!! I made it to my goal of losing 100 pounds today!!

    I have lost 42.19% of my starting weight. I went from a starting BMI of morbidly obese (42- gasp!) to severely obese, to obese, to overweight and now to a HEALTHY BMI of 24! It took me 28 months to do this, with plateaus here and there, but I never gave up and I did it the healthy way! Who knew, all I had to do was exercise and eat right, that's it! No special diet, no pills, just 100% the healthy way. This is a lifestyle change and I will continue on this path for the rest of my life! Happy doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I didn't let excuses get in the way anymore, excuses get you nowhere! If I had time to watch TV and time to eat junk food then I also could make time to exercise and prepare healthy things to eat.

    When I first set out to take a walk, I remember seeing my shadow on the sidewalk and thinking wow, is that a tree on either side of me?? No, it was me, all of me! (Sigh) I went to the gym 6 days a week from the very start, sometimes 7, and even on holidays at times. I have made some very special friendships at the gym and they make exercising all the more fun. I love you girls!!

    This website has been the most helpful and biggest part of my success to date!! I could not have had the success I have had without it! I feel lucky to have the great support from friends on here, you know who you are, and I love you all!

    I never cared for running, at all, but last year I completed four 5K races and I jogged the whole way! I do it because... I can! When I don't make it to the gym, I will go take a 3 mile walk and jog outside. I look forward to my 5th 5K next month.

    As I move forward now, I will work on getting to the mid range of this healthy BMI, and focus on reducing my body fat % and lose more inches. Look out weights, it is on more than ever now!

    Oh, and that smaller shadow that I see now on the sidewalk when I am jogging? Yes, it's me, all of me!! :)

    I am 5'3" and started at 237 lbs and am 137 lbs today!
