I've met my mid-range goal of 180 pounds so that means it was time for some comparison pics! Here's a set of three: On the left is me at my highest weight, exact weight unknown; approximating at 280. I started weight loss efforts in 2005 at 269 pounds. Middle pic is July of 2012, (after I started my weight loss again from 235 pounds) in March, at about 200 pounds. On the right is today's pic, 179 pounds. Still have a bit to go, but I'm trying to celebrate the victories!

Hee, thank you! I've been doing two things:
1) Watching how much I eat and WHAT I eat. I log EVERYTHING. And I'm not hard on myself if I have a day where I go over my calories, because I know that's likely to put me in a binge. I also don't have any "forbidden" foods. If I want a brownie, I have one. But I log it. The only things I try to stay away from are things that upset my reflux and/or my IBS.
2) Exercise. I was sedentary my whole life until I started with a walk around the block in March. Since then, I've joined a gym, trained for and run a 5k, and I'm doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred right now (2 days left of Level 3!). There are days I can't do much because of physical limitations due to my MS and fibro, but I try to get at least 10 minutes of cardio in every day. I usually push for 45.
It really is a matter of eating less and moving more. But it's not easy by any means. That's where my community of friends/family and others on the journey comes in. I couldn't do it without the support of my friends and family, and the folks here!0 -
You look amazing and are quite inspiring!! Keep up the great journey you are on! :drinker:0

Congratulations! You look wonderful!0

Again, thank you everyone. The kind words are nice, especially considering this week's weigh-in wasn't where I wanted it to be. SCALE QUIT GOING THE WRONG WAY! I think I might start doing a monthly weigh-in instead of weekly. Trying to keep focused on how far I've come, not one week being silly.0

I know how hard it is so "my hats off to you in your success". Keep it up and realize that it took a long time to gain it...............and it's the hardest thing in the world to get rid of. I know!0

great work, well done0

Terrie: It's so hard to remember that it DID take time to gain all of this, and therefore it's going to take time to get rid of it, too. Patience is not my strongest virtue.0

Amazing work. Congrats on this accomplishment0
