      Had to work out what 100lbs are. So I now know I need to lose 60 of them. You guys are so inspiring. I just know I'm going to do this with people like you around me. Thanks.

      It took me a little over two years. I wanted to make a lifestyle change so that is why I took it so slow. I started out with diet, then I started to move. Now I am moving a lot more and eating better. I am hoping to lose another 40lbs and tone up. I hope to do that quicker since I have the hang of things now. :) Good luck.

      You seem to have actually gained a rather attractive 180lbs or so in that second photo :-)

      Everyone your stories are truly amazing.

      Took me a little over 2 years, but most of it (80 pounds) was in 15 months. The first year I had a big setback but then I got consistent.

      Before:

      After:

      I got to 100 pounds lost in September 2012, and I've been hovering around there ever since. I still have another 20-30 to lose so it's been a little frustrating to be stuck. But I'll get there!

      A little less than a year. I started October 20, 2011 and have lost a total of 129 so far. Need to lose 16 more to reach my goal weight.

      16 months, give or take a couple weeks. Pic in avatar. It happened! (Although the before isn't even me at my highest, sadly I was much fatter. I still haven't located a before pic from my highest MFP weight.)

      14 months. And I cheated most days.

      There are pictures on my profile. :) I'm sure there must be an easy way to add them here, but I'm old and without motivation right now. I'm supposed to be vacuuuming. (shhhhhh...)
