    Okay, that's really exciting and inspiring! I would love to be able to start shopping in regular stores again and be under 200 again! Good for you girl!

    You know what I did this weekend? I went out and bought a bunch of clothes in one size too small for me so I would be motivated to lose those few extra pounds and be able to fit in them. It might sound kinda weird, but if the clothes are cute enough, it really makes me work that much harder :happy:

    Thank you all!!

    Being able to motivate others is motivation itself for me! That's awesome! I can't wait until I can shop in a normal store as well.. Though I will miss the ladies at the 14+ store haha

    2 months to lose 18lbs... then it stopped around april when I started work... Then I finally lost 2 more. But I hiked a lot and watched what I ate all the time and went for many walks and jogged when I lost that weight.

    Though I try not to focus on the additional 90-100 I still have to lose at least I now KNOW that I can and will get there. Many of the folks on this site don't start out morbidly obese but that doesn't make the process any easier so I don't assume that my journey is any harder or easier than yours.

    My life is so much better than it was 3 1/2 months ago when I started this lifestyle change that I still can't believe it. I live in the Houston area and today is a typical hot, humid day - 90+ degrees, 90%+ humidity. I have had a yard service doing my lawn because I could not do it. I could not spend 1/2 hour doing any physical activity. Its not a life. I lived it in front of the television. I've just finished working in my yard for 4 hours in the heat with no break. Weeding, planting, trimming, fertilizing, etc (no, not cutting and edging - now I just enjoy having someone else do that for me on Friday afternoon!). I feel great.

    The moral of the story is don't let yourself get to the size I was or the size I still am. Life it too short to live it with your face in a bowl of chips.

    I've probably gone on too long. Congrats again and stay at it.

    I am morbidly obese... Im not over 200lbs anymore but still am considered it. haha I thought its bad enough being "obese" never mind "MORBIDLY" obese :noway: You are doing great!! I am hoping to lose another 20lbs to reach my half way point! Then another 40lbs from there. But it will be worth it :smile:

    about 30 pounds more for me and I will only be obese. I am ready for obese.

    On another topic I saw the recently released Get Smart movie. I didn't have great expectations for it but I have to say it was really pretty funny. Stay away from the popcorn!!!!! I chew sugar free gum to help with the temptation.

    Cheers!
