    You look Awesome! What are a few points that you feel were key in losing the weight? I need to loose that much as well. Any advise/tips would be great.

    My personal key to losing the weight (everyone is different) is to move - workout - sweat. I'll be the first to tell ya that I'm LAZY, I hate to work out, but you have to MAKE yourself do it, and it really does make you feel better.
  • So it took me a few days to work up the nerve to post these, but here goes. At my highest in 2009, I weighed 237. My mom decided to take a pic with me and my 2 brothers. When I saw the pic, I just about cried. I couldn't believe how huge I looked in the picture, it was heartbreaking. So I decided that was it, and I lost about 20 pounds and that was about it, I stayed around 215-220. Then my husband and I decided to get our marriage blessed in the Catholic Church - MOTIVATION! And since I had never had a "real" wedding, I wanted the dress too. I went down to 189 the day of the wedding! Since then, I have lost about 7 lbs more, but I've been doing Turbo Jam, which really helped to suck everything in. I'm still hoping to lose about 20-25 more.
    This was the mother's day pic (uuuggghhh!)

    thats an incredible difference!! very very visible and a great reward for your hardwork!

    Good luck with your goals, but I'm afraid I can't extend those kind wishes to your team for saturday :-)

    Thanks! and I agree, I can't really say good luck to yours either... lol It's gonna be a tough game for both, they're both really good teams.
