    @mina4692...Congrats to your aunt of the 70+ lost and its great you have someone that close to help you focus....and I know college has got to be hard as a bigger girl, but Im finding out more now that ppl are just bigger, I was one of the few in college and did alot of my classes online b/c I was so self conscious, but don't be embrace it and be strong for the one who wanted and or can't Do you and like you said LOVE life...its hard with so many unhealthy chose nearby, but we can do it as long as we don't let the negative talk/attitude get the best of us....

    @grace343...I look at this pic I have in my Profile of the really fit skinny girl lifting up her shirt showing her 6-12pack abs that says..."in times bad times remember what you want/look like a year from now, and get back to work" however I also learn i have to allow some bad, b/c in past I'll go 3-5days good then crash diet 1-9mos and gain all I lost and more back.....

    Right now I look at it as necessary to save my life! If I do not lose this weight I may not have my life. That is my current motivation to really focus!

    @turkeywings....I commend you for doing this w/your Type2...most ppl just take the pills and shots the Doc/Pharm. companys recommened and they don't care its just a money game to them b/c the Dr. gets a kickback, so he pushes it and your a single Ma with two boys....so what ya gained 30 back, at least its not where you started way back to 280...so you caught yourself up, so in moments of doubt remember were you want to be a year from now and get back to work....Raise the rent on the fat and eventually evict it out and more in the Lean you, that you always wanted.....

    Ok, here it goes. My name is Karen and I am 50 years old, my wieght has been a roller coaster going up and down. 5 years ago I lost weight to where I was happy with myself up until a year ago when I had surgery on my knee. Since that time I have gained almost 40 pounds and have tried everything to lose it and have been unsuccessful. I have been going to a Zumba class, which I love, for the past 6 weeks with the hope that I will start losing weight soon. I get really discouraged with myself when I don't see results. I am now thinking of joining a fitness club and hire a personal trainer. I NEED HELP!!

    @knegrete1...I did not have surgery, but I staarted jogging in Jan. this year and was getting upset @round spring break when I was not losing the wt. I should have, the experienced, in shape runners, told mi I had to switch it up meaning don't jog everyday and incorporte weight/resistence trainging....So I try to do gravity class, a resistence weight training class with your own body weight were you can lay/sit on a board and switch up my jogging/walking routes from hills, to flat to somewhere new, I have ADHAD, so I get bored quick...I have yet to try P90X, but I overhear it weather commericals or VERY inshape ppl. say muscle confusion...so if you walk FWD one day walk backward or sideways the next day some to help tone slim the but and hips...Im no personal trainer, but just from where I've bee todate and what I have learned from experienced in shape ppl, i hope this helps...I find joining a support group helps too....I started with curves, but got bored then found a running group who always joggers and walkers and get high from all the positveness in the group and I may be the slowest one todate, but we all look out and support one another. Positve vibes your way chica....

    @yukonmomof4...It is hard to do it alone and when I first started jogging in Jan...I would only do it late at night or b/f the Sun came up b/c I was too self consious of how mi neighbors/ppl would see mi as a FAT chick who was trying to jog, now I finally said..."You know what I'm my BIGGEST MONSTER, so I need to raise the rent, and get this negativeness out"....Support groups do help...I moved from up north to ALABAMA and knew no one, but finally I joined a group for my Son, so he can play with kids like him, and a running group who has walkers and joggers and support and meet up...Most of this runners, joggers and walkers are VERY slim maybe 140pds at most but they welcomed this 250pd chica in and help me in hopes of getting my form and mile times down, along with the weight lose...the internet is great search what kind of groups like MFP that would be BEST for you...Postive vibes your way chica...Muahs

    @purelybecky....I was 265 when I started Jogging and started this last friday @250...weighed in today at just under 243...I'm hyper active hard to sit still...LOL! So thats a plus for mi, but I am an over/emotional eater...I could pop 3-6 Jr.BCB and a whole batch of cookies like nothing...so I started doing this b/c a Ma I meant in a support group asked mi, and I'm so glad she did...I see you have graves disease and new twins and thyroid pills...Im not a fan of pop that or take this, b/c I fill Pharm. Co. & Drs. just look at pts. as a #..NOT all, but that is my personal belief, but I want to stay positive here and say you can do this the Holistic way and diet and exercise, however you may need the meds to get from "A-B"....I know blood type Os usually have low thyroid hormones, esp. if you don't eat fish....I'm O and hate fish Im all about the red meat, So I started taking fish oil supps and superB complex vits/supps...esp. when I have a bad all carb/take-out drive thru day...However I'm slowly learning that veggies full ya up and are next to nothing in cals...so I have so much to learn about fueling mi body for success...Positive vibes and weight loss dust your way chica.

    I'm in the 100+ club, 135 to go. I got down to the point a year or 2 ago when I only needed to lose 35.. and I dropped that ball pretty good. So, back up to 135 I go.. this time with MFP and my blog/youtube channel to help motivate me and hopefully others.

    Let's do this folks!

    So nice to see so much positive encouragement! In a perfect world I'd be in the 100+ club, but I'm starting with baby steps. Overall, I'd love to lose 75lbs, but the eye (and mouth) tend to do too much wandering. :( Boo.

    Hopefully we can all do this together!

    Ps. Ppl are welcome to add me. I'll be more than happy to give daily encouragement!

    I started this journey after having my sixth baby and weigh in a whopping 320lbs :( I have currently been here for 13 months straight and do not plan on going anywhere. My ticker is set for a lose to 200lbs. To be considered "Healthy" weight I need to lose more than that, but I thought 200lbs was a good goal to start with. The smallest I have been in my adult life is 225lbs and that was almost 11 years ago.

    I am from Indiana :) and would love to have you as a friend! Just add me if ya want! Nice to meet you and read your post!
