Thank you all so much for your wonderful words! It does take lots of hard work and dedication! I am going to continue to work hard at it until I am at my goal, but I think even then when I reach my goal I will still have to work hard to maintain my goal

I do know thou that anything is possible if you want it bad enough! You just have to work work work for it!!

Wow!! You have accomplished so much but think of how you will feel when you really meet your goal. Keep the focus. You have already proved you have the tools and know how to do it. :happy:

These weights are so ME, minus the weight loss. I started at 238, yes I'm sure LOL, and so far I am down 17 pounds and struggling to stay focused. It seems to take so long for any change.

Thank you for sharing this info and pictures. You can complete your goal!!! Best wishes.

When I first started I used MFP everyday.. until I bascialy knew what I was eating and the amount of calories. After doing it for so long you get pretty good at knowing the caloire contient of most things. I took it one step at a time.. I went from eating fast food every day for each meal

to not ever eating fast food and completly cut Mcdondals out of my diet.. I drink only water, every now and then I will have a dt. coke.. but even they seem to sweet to me know. I have PCOS which has a lot to do with insluin and things, which is another reason I knew it was time to get my weight undercontrol. Once I started cooking at home things got better, after a while I started feeling like if we did go out to a nice dinner I would have the will power to eat healthy. I still ate what I wanted to, but insted of getting a extra large portion I would always get the lighter option.Somthing else you may try is giving your self a cheat day... you get to eat what ever you want! by the time I had been doing this for about thee months, my cheat days were no longer really important because all the things I was eating were things I started to enjoy! I eat around 1200-1350 s day now in caloires after I lost about 30 lbs I started working out.. you have to start out slow of course, but now I walk at least 3miles a day I love it. (been sick with a horrible cold so I havent had the chance to walk in a while ;( but I am better now and back on track!) Then i started taking ACE.. it is a really good product and It works. Its not like other diet pills. You get good energy from it and it controls your hunger pains. I dont take it as often anymore, because I feel like I dont need it as much for the wait control now. But I do enjoy the energy I get from it!!!. I had my moments were I would get stuck for what seemed like forever, but I didnt give up.. I cant believe how far I have come going from being big and overweight for the last 11 years.. this feels amazing!! You can do it.. If you need helo just shoot me a pm or friend request!
