Girl, you look amazing!!!!!!!!!! Your story and pics made me want to run out and get my butt on a treadmill! If I can lose this last 30-40 in a year, I will be ecstatic. But to what YOU have done!!! I am inspired. I would like to see your food plan that you used.

Your story has inspired me to do more and stop being lazy. I know that I am most successful when I plan and eat the right things. I am learning to incorporate more exercise but I like the simple sample plan that you gave. And it all sounds really good and simple.

Thanks.

In short, I was battling obesity most of my early adulthood until 2010 when I decided to take a hold of my life after a health scare. I've lost a total of 171 pounds in 13 months all natural through diet and exercising. I've been maintaining since November 2011. I'm totally committed to the journey! I'm healthy mentally, physically and emotionally! GOD is good!

I was very much of an emotional eating. I'm not cured, but I've adopted a healthy lifestyle. My weight loss journey was all natural. No supplements (not even vitamins), no surgery... I normally run,kick box, Zumba and do the Arc Trainer at Level 20 (highest level) resistance 35-40. The Arc trainer is a calorie burner I love it! I started with the treadmill 15 minutes, then elevated to the Elliptical for 45 minutes, then to the Arc trainer for an hour.

I'm pretty discipline with weighing and measuring my food. I cut back on junk and try to eat whole foods- little to no processed food. I cook mostly all my meals and plan in advance. I'll say 80% of my success came from what I ate. I try to keep a positive attitude....

Lastly, during the losing phase, I lost every week consecutively for 13 months. No plateau or weight gain.

FAKE! Look at the first pic carefully. The cellphones aren't even the same!!

(That's the kind of comment you'd get if this were a YouTube before/after video.)

Seriously though, congratulations, you did really well, and fairly quickly too. I wish I could have got onto the nutrition bandwagon much sooner in my own journey, then I'd probably have a better number to show for my work. I think a lot of people rush into surgeries and whatnot, without even looking into the consequences. I came to the conclusion that the only way to do amazing things that will last is to put the actual effort in and do it right with exercise and proper food choices and portion sizes, just as you've done. A total lifestyle change, not a quick fix.

WOW WOW WOW!!! I have got to come up with a different word as I have used this one far to much over the last few days with all these wonderful 100+ pound successes. You look Incredible, every single inch of your body has changed. I bet people who have not seen you in 13 months walk right past you now.
Thank you for sharing your story and pictures with us. You are truly an inspiration for those of us with 100's of pounds to lose. I hope I have as much dedication as you do and in 13 months look half as good as you do and I will be very happy.

Congratulations! You look wonderful. So that's an average of 3 pounds a week. Not bad at all!! I am amazed that you never had a week that you didn't lose. How did you weight loss generally go every week? Did it vary a lot or was it about the same rate every week? Just curious! Amazing job you've done. You're definitely an inspiration around here especially to me. :flowerforyou:
