    I've lost 70 lbs since the end of Jan 2012. I strive to eat my goal calories, I accomplish this most of the time. I exercise whenever I can..but I know that weight loss is a gradual and I'm just taking it one day at a time :)

    39.5 pounds since end of July. I started taking weekly pictures in September, so I have documented almost thirty pounds of weightloss in photos by now.

    Wow, if I could quote every amazing transformation I've seen here I'd have a looooooong post.


    So I'll just say: amazing work, everyone!

    I've lost 58 lbs since I began my weightloss journey. I started eating whole foods, I keep my carbs around 100. g a day, and I walk5.2 miles a day. I began on June 9, 2012.

    I lost 260 lbs in 24 months. I've kept it off since this past winter, and I've been working adding lean mass.

    I recently lost 65-75 pounds since September 10, 2012. I want to lose about 23 more pounds. I do one hour of treadmill and one hour of weight lifting five to six times per week. I cut sugar, salt, sodas, juice, ALL fast foods, and foods that are high in fats. You will find that once you cut all of the bad things out of your diet, you can eat more of the healthy foods because fast food is typically significantly higher in calories, sometimes triple the calorie amount.

    As far as the amount of weight that I lost in the amount of time that Iost it, I think that that idea is a myth, from personal experience of course. My doctor tells me that I am the healthiest that I've ever been in my life and healthier than he thought that I'd ever be. I have not one health risk whatsoever. It was once said that the earth was flat, so people didn't sail too far out into the see. Christopher Columbus went against all odds and proved the world wrong. What I'm saying is, don't be afraid to work hard and do the unthinkable. I am NEVER hungry because I eat all day. Foods that are low in calories but plentiful. You can do it friend! Don't be a stranger. Let me know how you are doing at anytime if you need a push. Work hard and eat healthy. How much weight have you lost so far?

    If you want to see my transformation, it's on YouTube

    I started in May. I've lost 46 pounds so far.

    This is the most recent picture. I take one every ten pounds, so I have a few weeks before the next one.

    As you can see, I carry my weight in my butt. I have the standard pear shape.

    I did before! and gained 30 back sadly :(

    But it took me about three months to loose the first 20 then I took a break and maintained. Then it took about 6-7 months to lose the other 20. They last 20 came off painfully slow :( And then they crept back up after I stopped working out, wasn't even eating a lot of crap :((

    so far 73 lbs in over a year. I started in oct 2011 with the intentions of losing weight. It wasnt until May 2012 that I actually started to do something and lose weight.
