Amazingly great!! What exercises did you do? How about diet? How tall are you? I am 5' 9" and I am your age . I started at 203 and am now one month later at 192 pounds. I am just looking for some ideas.
My diet is nothing spectacular. It's clean eating (most of the time-I slip like everyone else!) but get right back in the game the next day. I'm 5'5". It's been a tough road-I won't kid you. It's alot of sweat, hard work, determination, and motivation from all my friends here. I started out on my treadmill, and also bought a weight bench and elliptical. My elliptical is my best friend. Another thing I did was create an 'inspiration' board. I write motivating quotes to myself, have a before pic on there, and would include supporting posts from here, like the comments when I hit 199. I look at it all the time and no matter how tired I am, I'm going just a little bit more.0 -
Thank you all so very very much! I don't post these in the hopes of getting compliments. I feel I'm on a mission now to motivate and inspire people. When I first started, I had done this over and over and over, countless times. This was going to be the LAST time. I hit my bottom when I saw pictures of how I truly looked. It's been alot of hard work, alot of sweat and tears, and a one day at a time attitude. It did get easier as time went on, because I wanted it that badly. My teenage son looked at those pics yesterday and was just stunned. He told me how much younger I look now, which was a HUGE compliment! I feel fantastic and will never go back to where I was. I can't-I don't have those clothes anymore!!! I just love motivating people-that's the best feeling in the world!

Looking Fabulous!! Congrats on all your hard work -- it's amazing what we can achieve once we change our mindset. I did the same thing in January, and I'm on my own weightloss/increased healthy lifestyle journey. I no longer use the word "diet" either, as this is not a temporary thing, but my new way of life. From one Cindy to another, you rock!!0

What a transformation! Good for you in taking on this challenge and being so successful. I'm sure others would be interested in your approach and how you found this success.
