i need to be inspired by you!
i have used this site in the past, but have been away for too long.
i am back and i'm hoping to make some new friends and learn what you use to succeed.

i just got the turbo jam plan in the mail - have any of you tried this?

    Hi! I have about 87 to go to reach my ultimate goal. WHEN I do, I plan to stay here and still log so that I am on the straight and narrow for good. :)

    We're already pals but I will be losing >100 lbs when it's all said & done. My best advice is not to focus on the total amount you're trying to lose because it easily becomes overwhelming. What I've done is take it in 2-5 lb chunks so that it seems doable. For example, I started at 316 so my first goal was to lose 5 lbs. I did it! Then at 311, I worked on losing 2 more pounds to get into a new decade. Did that too! 3 more pounds got me to 306 (10 lbs lost!), another 5 was 15 lbs lost, then 2 more got me to a new century.

    It hasn't been a linear process, so I find that attaching dates to those goals is not motivating to me personally. Sometimes I lost 2 lbs a week, sometimes I lost 2 lbs in 3 months. But I didn't let that discourage me, because every pound lost gave me more & more confidence that I really CAN take control of my weight & improve my health.

    If you haven't already, start a regular exercise program. It doesn't matter as much what you do as how consistent you are with it. As I got stronger I naturally felt more confident about my fitness & was motivated to challenge myself with fitness goals. Over time they became even more important than my weight loss goals because they are more predictable.

    Two & a half years ago my exercise program was walking 3 times a week as far as I could before back pain forced me to turn back, & initially those were 15-minute walks. Within a week 15 turned into 20 turned into 30 turned into a gym membership turned into regular strength training with the cardio...

    ...a week & a half ago I ran my very first half-marathon straight through without walking, 86 lbs lighter. Not only that, I recovered quickly due to my dedicated training & was nearly good as new the next day. It was amazing.

    And YOU are amazing for being here, so set that next goal & SMASH IT!!!

    When I began WeightWatchers in 2006, I had over 100 pounds to lose. I've lost 90 pounds since then and managed to keep it off. I'm about 60 pounds away from my goal.

    I do have progress pics from when I lost an even 100 pounds.

    I've seen the occasional MFP member who has totally transformed their lifestyle so quickly that they succeed in the weight-loss part of the program in about 2 years. Mine has been a longer journey, but I am still happy that I have stuck with it. If I hadn't continued to make effort, I would not be 90 pounds lighter today, I'd probably be heavier than I was in 2006.

    Hi I'm Lisa and I'm new to this site - been using the moblie tracker for a few weeks now but never wrote anything in the community. I originally started at 450lbs (when my first son was born) - had gastric bypass surgery and lost 200lbs by the time my second son was born. Now just had my 3rd son 15wks ago. Totally proud of myself that I only gained 16lbs thru his pregnancy (started at 257lbs) - I'm now down to 238.4lbs. I'm really tired of being fat. Have been my whole life (current weight is what I was at in jr high school - sad I know). Want to get down to about 150lbs though I"m not obsessed with the "scale number" anymore - just really want to get healthy and to have clothes fit perfectly. Would love to meet new people to help build a strong support system. Currently working at a caloric intake of 1280 cals/day and going to the gym every day doing strengh and cardio. This Friday I start a 4 wk session with a personal trainer - hoping to learn more on how to get the fat melting and the muscle building. Please feel free to add me - Can use all the help I can get and would be more than happy to encourage someone else.
