    I started agin in October 2011 after ignoring advice from Physios and Orthopaedic surgeons (who stated I will never be able to exercise fully but I need to lose weight for my back pain to go away) go figure??

    I have lost at least 48 Lb (22kg) but that was 10 days ago (working away from home staying in hotels) but I am more happy at the NSV's of almost 30 inches lost all over my body and a drop in 4-5 dress sizes in this time.

    Unofficially - Thursdays are my official weigh-in days - I have lost 28 pounds since the beginning of January. I currently weigh less than I have weighed since the 3rd grade. THIRD GRADE. That totally amazes and disgusts me at the same time.

    I feel like a different person now. I can do things I always told myself I couldn't do before. I am a much stronger person both physically and emotionally. I have my bad days (heck, even bad weeks!), but I just keep on chugging along. I never want to go back to who I was before. I am finally having some confidence in myself and my self-esteem has greatly improved. For once, I can look in the mirror, and in general, like what I see. I am setting a good example for my kids, and that makes me feel so good to know that I am giving them the tools to not go through what I have in my life when it comes to being overweight.

    I have to ask - you really only gained 28 pounds since you were 10? That seems unusual... Congrats on the weight loss and the strength you've gained!

    Good job everyone!!!

    For me, i started in Mid February and i'm down 26-27 lbs right now. I'd be happy with another 40 lbs. But i'm so proud of myself, this is the first time i've ever really tried and gave it my all.

    It took me 6 years to lose a 100 pounds (what can I say... I'm a slow learner...), and now I am maintaining right around 115 pounds lost. And it feels so good!!

    Since last summer, I've lost 46 pounds. That was bad. I remember having a hard time getting out the couch (literally). I feel a lot better now, but still not good. Still feel fat and uncomfortable, but there's definitely been progress. My fitness has also increased. I remember when I first started Power 90 and I would get so winded. Now sometimes I feel like I must not be trying hard enough because it feels so much easier. I still don't really do the Plyo(jumping) stuff because of my weight, but even with modifications 2 months ago I was struggling.

    I started on Jan 11- so it will be almost 4 months and I have lost 32 lbs, but it's not just my weight lost- I have gone from cutting out refined processed foods to a lean protein & veggie diet to now a 90% raw diet. I feel so amazing!
    This picture is from 25 lbs lost. I have 3 lbs to get to my half way point!!!
