I KNOW it's possible to lose weight, but losing weight and looking good are a different story all together.

I'm wondering, if it's even possible for me to take this body, lose a ton of weight (73 more pounds), and make it a HOT body, not just a smaller body. I want a better body then I have ever had, I want tone, I want it to look amazing, and I have a hard time thinking that this body can do that.

Has anyone gone from very overweight to totally lean and fit and stunning? I need to know it can be done.

    well I've lost 103 pounds and although I am not totally lean, I am fit :) Without having plastic surgery, I will never appear lean. But now that it is all sad and done, well not all done, but almost, I totally don't regret losing an ounce and having loose skin. I look awesome in clothes and I feel amazing. I know I am more fit than a lot of 130-pound people out there. I walk 4-6 miles a day plus do cardio on an ARC trainer, sometimes ride bikes with the kids, lift weights, etc. My husband would not trade it for the old me either.

    Whatever you are thinking, don't ever let the idea that you won't have a lean body keep you from reaching your goals.

    Thanks :)

    I'm not reallly thinking I'll have a lot of loose skin. My stomach may have some, since I had three pregnancies in the last 7 years and one was a twin pregnancy, but otherwise I think I'll be okay.

    If I reach my goal, I will have lost 111 pounds, but I am nearly 6 feet tall and it was pretty evenly distrubuted, so I hope that helps.

    I just can't imagine that there's a "hot" me under the fluff, I hope there is, I'd love to see her!

    Too cute
    yes, you will find a hot you (although you look pretty hot already ), and you won't be able to stop looking---good luck.
