I think it's amazing that it took you less than a year to lose that much weight! I have about that to lose and I keep thinking years not months. You have given me hope that by this time next year I too could have reached or almost reached my goal.

Thats is outstanding I know the dedication it takes you will find your weight loss level as time goes on and continue to lose what you need to once again congrats

WOW!! That is amazing! Good for you! I'm just starting out and I want to lose 90lbs so it's great to see people like you showing it can be done. What were some of the things you liked best or found most helpful? I saw what you said about recording calories even when you don't want to, I kind of did the same thing when I was starting, took me a few days before I got close to my calorie range but it sure was an eye opener.

Hi

I am a 58 year old woman in New Zealand and found it quite a chore to walk just one kilometre a few months ago.

Over the past 3 months I have been building up my walking time and at the weekend walked 5km on Saturday (for the first time!) and another 2km yesterday - the total for January is currently at 15km.

I also bought a cheap treadmill to walk at home when the weather is poor and use it when I watch TV - better than sitting.

My favourite toy is a Heart Rate Monitor watch which shows me what my heart is doing while I am exercising - it is a Suunto M4 and has a built in fitness program so I don't even need to work one out for myself - it builds my fitness to the next (minor) goal and then lets me know when I have achieved it.

I follow the MFP recommendations for calorie intake and I feel great as a result of the exercise. My starting weight was 270 lbx and due to that my back also plays up - I fund the walking actually helped my back and also helps me to get better sleep

Whoops - I meant my reply for Lunahielo who mentioned they were 75 years old and trying to lose weight for heath reasons

Don't know you but you should be so amazingly proud of yourself. Its a huge life accomplishment and health wise nothing else compares. Keep up the good work and attitude!

Fantastically amazing - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Thank you for posting today!!

Fantastic. +1 to pictures. Optional though.

When I started this I made my page title "My journey to losing 100lbs" I had no idea how long it would take. It was a total of 227 days, or 7.5 months. In that time I've also managed to lose 18 inches off my waist, get all new clothes over and over as I steadily shrank out of everything I owned except shoes.

It feels weird. I've never been this "normal" looking before. It's certainly a change to be able to go out in public and not get stared at for being hugely overweight.

I am going to continue with my weight loss. I'm not sure at what point I'll stop losing and decide to maintain weight but right now I want to go even smaller.

Congratulations on meeting your 100-pound goal! I'd LOVE to see some pics!
