So glad I can finally share this! Been trying to get to 100lbs lost for a month now, kept teetering between the same 5lb up and down. I think I've officially reached it, so here's a pic!! Lot's of cardio (mostly walking/running/elliptical), only recently started strength training. Just praying I can keep it all going. Still have another 100 to lose!

    Thanks y'all!! I about peed myself when I got on the scale this morning! I'm technically below the 100lb point, but I didn't want to be greedy because I tend to fluctuate 2lbs or so. So 100 it is! lol

    So awesome!!!! How long did it take you??? Any tips???

    Somewhere between 15 and 17 months. I had several times in that period where I didn't necessarily "give up" but I definitely wasn't trying. Hmm, tips I'd say would be learn your body. I knew after a few months exactly how much water weight I fluctuated, when I would tend to gain a few lbs due to montly cycle, and once I learned that, it wouldn't discourage me when I saw an increase on the scale. Also WATER WATER WATER. lol I can't emphasize that enough. And what has pushed me to start losing agian after a long plateau was strength training (at least, I think so). Christmas of 2013 I was 287, now I'm at 265. So 22lbs in 2.5 months after I started strength training.
