    I wish I could post this in my work area...and at my house for my husband...and at my mom's...and at soooo many places. "No more excuses" was my motto in the beginning and the very first thing I tell anybody who wants advice. Excellent post, and you look amazing!

    You're amazing and I totally agree! I lost most of my weight riding an exercise bike while I watched netflix movies. I wouldn't let myself watch them unless I was working out - got me down 40 pounds in 4 months.

    Amazing! I completely agree there is enough time in the day to find time for your work outs. I'm going to me sharing with my friends who always complain about time.

    Thanks for sharing

    Amazing! And you are totally right. I am the mother of 2 young boys, a wife and I work full time. I have found and so has my family that I am a much better person all around if I get my "mom" time to work out. So worth it! Thanks for sharing, your results are so inspiring!

    WOW, WOW, WOWZA!!!!!!! Makes me want to cry looking at the pics.
    It's taking me a little longer but I also would like to lose 100 lbs. I have the exercise part down...but the eating part is proving to be somewhat more challenging!

    Amen sister! It drives me crazy when someone ( like my overweight mom) says they don't have any extra time to exercise. We're all busy and we're all given the same 24 hours in a day. It's about making it happen!!

    thank you for the inspiration! I had foot surgery in November and was in a wheel chair/ plus I still use a walker. I have gained 15 lbs since the surgery. My goal was not to gain weight. Well I had some complications in December and landed back in the hospital. I started walked around my local mall with the walker last week. I hope to ditch the walker and get a cane on Monday. I read your full story/blog online. Wow if you can do it so can I. Good Job! :happy:

    I saw a treadmill on Overstock.com which had a desk attached to it and it showed a lady walking, her laptop on the desk, her phone in her hand and her coffee on the desk. There's an idea for computer junkies. There was a review from a lady who said her office got that for people to use at work. She got on it for her conference calls and logged in 2.6 miles at work during a call. Get creative. I used to go outside and walk around the block when I had to talk on the phone. It wasn't much of a workout, but it was better than sitting on my butt. Last night I had to go to the laundry mat, bc my dyer broke. I couldn't leave my clothes unattended while they dried and it was 32 degrees outside, so too cold to walk. I was the only one in there so I did squats while my clothes dried. I am super sore today. At work, we have back stairs and an elevator. In between clients, I only have about 20 minutes so I run up and down the stairs once or twice, it isn't much, but I used to take power naps in between clients. At the end of the day, I have probably gotten in about a mile of stair climbing (I need to do the math) but if you don't have time you can always figure out ways to sneak in workouts.
