I reached a milestone that was once just a dream. I can't believe it. It's amazing what a good diet and daily walking can do.

In the past month I've added some jogging with my walking and now I've worked my way up to jogging 15-minutes without stopping and no pain afterwards.

I wish I had some before & after pictures for you... maybe next time.

For those of you just starting or feeling in a slump, keep at it. Keep going! I had several weeks where I thought I was failing, but I stuck with it and now I'm feeling giddy.
:laugh:

    Awesome job! Keep it up. I lost 120 pounds a few years back and put 97 of it back on so here I am starting back at square one. I just started this site 3 days ago so here I go again! Hopefully I can do it twice in a lifetime. Never let your guard down and never stop walking and you will get there.

    I still have a piece of pizza about once a month. It's very difficult to stop at one serving though. I just ask myself, "Would you rather have that extra piece or meet your goal weight this weekend?" After that I can usually put those extra pieces away and eat them for lunch at work that week.

    You can do it.
