Congratulations, you are looking wonderful!!!! I can totally relate because I have lost 74 lbs and have 10 more to go. I can tell of late that these last 10 are taking a bit longer and being a bit tougher than the other pounds. But I am certain I will get there and I am sure you can as well. Take care.0

Anyone who sets their mind to it can do it! You should never think you can't. I didn't think I could, and here I am, weighing 73 lbs less than I did 7 months ago. you CAN do it.0 -

This is exactly me right now, i'm 231lbs &wanting to be about 135. I'm 5'0
Today is my first day starting back up, I worked out for about 20mins [I was tired after that, lol] & been eating/counting calories like ate watermelon, a few crackers etc..0 -
I started this journey on September 11th, 2012, weighing in at 232 lbs. I was not happy with myself - the way I looked, or felt. I hated going shopping, I hated trying on clothes...I just didn't like myself at all.
So, I decided to do something about it. I started eating less and working out. I worked out 3-5 days a week, eating anywhere from 1300-1400 calories a day - counting the calories I ate and burned.
I currently have stopped counting my calories and worry more about eating the right things, not about the counting of the calories that are being consumed. (I've actually been losing more again since stopping the counting calories).
I weigh 159 lbs right now, and am hoping to get to 145, but I'd be happy with 150, too. I'm 5'5", so my healthy weight is 150.
Here are the befores and afters.
You look amazing! And WAY smaller than 159!!! Way to go!!! You are definitely an inspiration! How tall are you?
Before
232 lbs
Current ---- 159 lbs
My advice for you all is to keep going! It's not always easy, but the end is going to be such a sweet reward. You will know that you accomplished something great. We ALL deserve the right to be healthy. So get out there and do something about it.
Go...Be Healthy0 -
