    nb, I was in a similar boat. I started at 270 and my total weight loss goal is 125 in one year. Please feel free to add me for more support and motivation.

    Yay, you're SMILING!!! You'll appreciate that smile later, they are very rare in before pictures. I wish that I had a smile on my face in mine!!!! I always think "well no wonder I felt like crap all the time, walking around with that look on my face"!!

    :) Fantastic! Welcome! Use this as a guide - but not a definite knowledge - and learn all that you can about the ways the body, food, hormones, and energies in yourself work together.

    Take each day, each meal, as its own victory. Had a good day? Fabulous! Had a bad day? Find one good thing about it and congratulate yourself on it - then focus on making the next meal, the next day, the next choice something that you will congratulate yourself for. :smile:

    Thank you for doing this for yourself - your body is amazing and you are giving it a chance to really shine!

    I wish I would have taken pics when I was 230+ and started losing. The "after" photos are so dramatic.
    Good luck, keep that smile.
