    That is an isane amount of weight lost in such a short time span. Great job!

    Were you just dieting with Weight Watchers, or were you working out as well?

    I didn't really start "working out" until about 6 months ago. Although as the weight started coming off, I was way more active than I used to be.

    I have to ask, as I wasn't much smaller than you when I started this whole deal... How much excess skin are you dealing with?

    Other than that one question, WAY TO GO!!

    I'm not going to lie. There is extra skin. But I was really big for so long and I'm 45, so that didn't help. At this time, I'm not planning on any surgery. I can still jog without to much hinderence, it doesn't really bother me until I run fast.

    Compression shirts help a bit. I just get the cheaper ones at target.

    WOW. that makes me feel a lot more confident. I had 178 to lose when I started this and was starting to get discouraged about losing the last 113...it just seems to take forever. But seeing what you've accomplished I am definitely feeling a lot better about it. Thank you.

    I started my journey January 3rd, 2011. I weighed in at 456 pounds. Today I weigh 199!!!

    So if you are having troubles, DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! You can do it!

    Thank you so much for posting this. 2013 is my "start over" year. I was 425 pounds on January 1st, and I want to get down to 180 by December 31st. I'm glad to see others proving it can be done. :smile:
