    Thank you for sharing. So often people get discouraged because they don't think the weight is coming off fast enough. Often times people base their expectations off the results of others (unrealistic).

    You have shown us that as long as we stay focused and never give up, the results will be there.
    Congratulations!

    Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I just got below 300 lbs (298) when I got weighed yesterday and of course this makes me very happy (At my heaviest I weighed 345 lbs) but to get to this point it has taken me a couple of years. I would lose the weight and then gain some weight back (you all know what I mean) It just seems so daunting when you begin. I need to have a knee replacement done (I am always in pain and have been using a walker since last summer - and I am only 47!) The surgeon told me I would need to lose at least 80 lbs before he would even consider doing the operation. So, it may take me a while to get there, but you have shown me that it CAN be done! Thank you SO MUCH again for sharing!

    I thought I would post as we see so many people not happy at losing at a slow rate...so I thought I would share my story to show it doesnt matter how slow you lose.

    In April 2006 the below "before" pics was taken. I didnt actively start to lose weight till August 2006 when I joined weight watchers. As you can see I was very big and because of my size I had a LOT of injuries....I had broken a ankle bone (and didnt even know it), had plantar fastisis, damaged ligaments in my other foot due to the numerous falls from my balance being so bad, and PCOS. The first 20 kilos (45 pounds) fell off fairly effortlessly...then I started to struggle. Ive had LOTS of struggles! Lots of times I lost motivation (and when that happened i "faked it till i made it"), lots of times of falling of track,,,,sometimes for a few hours...sometimes for over a week. But thruout it all I still wrote in my journal, after 2008 when I joined a gym even when i was lacking motivation I still went. Ive had lots of bumps...(including the loss of my mum last year)....as of this morning I have lost 86.2 kilos (189.64 pounds). Ive gone from someone who couldnt walk 10 minutes...to now I can run for a hour, this morning I rowed 1000 metres on the rower within 4 mins 28 seconds, Im starting to lift heavy weight (this is a slow process lol), run in organised runs, do group fitness classes. Yep I have many times had gains and small losses....and I do struggle still when my weight fluctuates all over the place...but as I am told so often....as long as the overall trend is downwards thats all that matters. So with that being said....no matter your losses, or how often you fall off track....just keep at it you will get there! (PS i started at 380 pounds and now weigh 86.9 kilos/191.18 pounds (yep nearly have lost 50% of my initial weight!) with 14.9 kilos/32.78 pounds to go to goal :)

    April 2006 (380 pounds)

    Today :191.18 pounds

    We have the same start weight! I want to ask you so many questions! But I don't want to sound rude! (Not mean questions just possibly awkward questions) Also you look awesome :D
