    Thank you all so much! You are all so amazing and I appreciate those kinds words more then you know. It's very hard to post a before picture especially when I took that picture in Old Navy while trying on a size XXL shirt, I had no idea that I would be sharing it for the world to see (my world of MFP) and today when I took that picture in the bathroom of my work while wearing a size M shirt (from JC Penney's btw laurenrenee10)

    =) YAY!!

    So thank you all so much and keep up your great work! Take it one day at a time and be thankful that you've decided it was time to make a change! All it takes is that one day to say enough is enough, I'm ready! I know, because I made that choice with my husband and time sure does fly! HARD WORK AND DEDICATION! I'm aiming for May for my goal weight, but I hope to break that goal too!! =)

    You look great! How did you do it that fast? How many calories did you eat and workout calories? That is like 3.5-4.0 pounds a week right? I am not sure I want to lose it that fast, I mean I want it gone fast, but I have stuck to it as long as I have this time with just simply doing 1- 2 pounds a week. I do feel like it goes so slow, but in the past when I tried to cut out so much and such I went nuts and binged eating a box of mac and cheese and a bowl of cookie dough...so it's working now, but i am definitely wanting to lose this nasty weight faster too..LOL

    I'm on a low carb diet and I try to tell as many people about it as possible. There are so many alternatives to our favorite foods! I do not eat my exercise calories back, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to...

    I believe that everyone can benefit from a low carb diet and if you have not yet seen the movie Fat Head, it's totally worth the watch!! It changed our lives for the better! It explains so much! I have never 'cheated' as far as bad foods for me. I cut out all sugar, bread, pasta cold turkey. I kept telling myself that the food just wasn't worth this unhealthy life. Now I hardly think of those foods because of all the alternatives that I've chosen to eat instead. Here's an example: My husband posted a topic about a 3g Carb Pizza and it is soooo good! The guys at my office order Little Ceasar's $5 pizza almost every day, so when I want pizza I make sure we make this for lunch! Well here's the link.

    Great job!!! You are doing wonderfully. Keep eating well, exercising and drinking that H2O. And the others are right you do look happier and younger in your after picture....all the more reason to not look back and keep on rolling towards that goal weight. :)

    You know, I started at 245 and am now 187 and you look much more lean than I, so jealous! but I'll get there... I'm still ... maybe a little... blaming it on my twin pregnancy :)

    Congrats!
