    Amazing!!!!! I am truly inspired. I lost weight before on my own in 2004. I only did it to get married and after that, I stopped exercising and you know I gain all the weight back plus more. Yesterday I started taking care of me again, and I can hardly wait to end up with the results similar to yours. Thanks for the photo's and for the inspiration.

    Good job! Thanks for sharing. How tall are you? Lovely pictures.

    I am 5 foot - 3 inches. Weighing 177 was not working for me. Nope, not at all.. had to do something, so on May 6th 2012, I did, I got my butt out of bed and went up to a high school track and started running. I ran one lap and thought I was going to die!

    I wanted to unzip my chest, lay down on the ground and hang my tongue out!

    Now? I can run for an hour and I don't feel like I have to unzip my chest! Now that is more like it for someone who is a grandma of 5 and pushing 50!

    I did the same thing around the same time you started as well. I started at 168 and I'm down to 125. I feel the best I've ever felt!!

    I am not great at adding photos, so hopefully these came out ok.

    I was 177 lbs last April, decided on May 6, 2012 that I was too fat and was going to do something about it.
    I started running, watching calories, doing any kind of exercise I could think of at least 30 minutes a day, every day.
    I didn't add in "Cheat Days"

    I stayed committed and the results can be seen below.
    I hit my goal weight on November 9th and now, 3 months later, I have successfully been able to maintain. (This is a first for me)

    My Fitness Pal is going to be my steadfast tool to stay committed to maintaining my new healthy weight of 130 lbs.
    My advice is: Stay away from FAD diets, Eat at least 1400 calories a day, Exercise in some fashion every day for at least a 1/2 hour.

    Remain on your quest through Holidays, Birthdays, and Vacations and you WILL achieve the results you desire.

    Good luck to everyone out there trying to achieve their goal weights! Everyone can do it with steady commitment!

    May I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'6". I used to be 5'8" when I was younger. Unfortunately, I am big chested so it makes it a little more difficult on my back. I'm hoping to lose some of my weight and see if my height will come back a bit with the relief on my spine. Right now I have a goal of 160 lbs set. Would LOVE to be 140-145 again. But I figured baby steps will work better.
