    loving the optimism and great advice!

    just on an aside.. because some have asked.. this is a lifestyle change that has the added benefit of weight loss! It is a forever thing.. not a " till drop the weight".. BUT .. I do have an end goal weight that I know my body is comfortable at. It is where I used to be at. I have al these cute clothes waiting for me.. and I have so many cute " you did it!" clothes I want to buy lol

    I don't want to stop. I wont be stoping eating clean and healthy and working out once I hit my goal.. because then I'll just become unhealthy again :/ For most of my life I was always healthy and fit. a few years of children, happy marriage ( seriously! you gain weight .. ) and some hard times with loosing family :( .. the weight came on ..

    Luckily i'm not alone.. I have a great hubby that is doing this journey with me ( seeing as we went through everything together we put in on together also lol )

    You guys are all doing amazing also! looking at all those tickers and great advice has been awesome to read!!

    many thanks for the optimism and and positivity!

    It's so much better to be going in a direction you're happy with than one that makes you miserable, though. If the time's gonna go by anyway, it might as well be towards something better.

    I have no idea how long it will take before I lose all the basic fat around my middle and thighs. All I know is that I will not be too hard on myself if it takes more than a year because I have come so far already. Always give yourself a pat on the back for changing your habits and exercising more. Every change is important. It's all positive.

    I am with you, it is a 'lifestyle' with no end date, just a goal to move toward, celebrate, then maintain.
    Healthy eating and exercise should be a part of our every day lives!

    It's taken me 20 months to get where I am, and I'm still a couple months from my goal.

    But if I hadn't started, I would probably still be 215 pounds, or maybe even more.

    And it took me over a decade to put on all that weight. Getting rid of it in less than 2 years ain't too bad. :-)

    Good luck, and stick to your guns!
