    You are an inspiration to all. You have encouraged me to keep stepping forward with out you even knowing it. Have a wonderful day and good luck on the rest of your journey, cause we all know those pounds dont have a chance with you. :wink:

    Not only have you lost a LOT of weight, but you look so firm and toned! If I met you on the street, I would never guess that you had been 84 pounds heavier, nor would I think you still have 82 pounds to go. You look fabulous. Give yourself a million pats on the back. You deserve them!

    And you know what's even better? While we are an online community all seeking to help each other, you've really done this on your own. You will never feel like, "well, I can't lose weight unless I go back to Weight Watchers, or Jenny Craig, or whatever." The credit goes to you.

    The black/paisley dress is GORGEOUS! Where did you get it?

    The dress was from addition-elle (spelling?) I knew the minute I put it on I had to buy the dress......funny thing is though I'll probably never wear it again other than that one wedding. By next year it will be swimming on me and I have no reason to wear it throughout the fall/winter?

    You look wonderful, thanks so much for sharing. It must feel amazing to realise (and see from the pic with your son) that you have already lost the equivalent of a small child!

    Brilliant!

    my almost 7 year old daughter only weighs approx 60 ish lbs.....and my son weighs 38lbs so before long I will have lost the equivelent of both my children in weight!!!

    The other day though I took the kids to the park and my son wanted to be carried so I picked him up and gave him a piggy back for about 3 blocks and I was DYING......I had to put him down I just couldn't carry him any further, the weight was too heavy and I think now how I had been lugging 80+ extra lbs around for so long, no wonder I felt like crap and so exhausted all the time. It sure felt nice to let him go so he could walk himself.

    Really an eye opener for me.

    You look great!!! Can you share what you do for exercise?

    I started out just walking.....I was too big to do much else so 20-30 min around the neighbourhood was all I could do. Then I heard about the couch to 5k program, I wanted to try running and that seemed reasonable. So I did that for 8 weeks and LOST SO MANY INCHES AND LBS. Running has truly changed my life. I now just run/walk on my treadmill or outside weather permitting, I don't have any set program I just listen to my body and do what I feel like. I do have a weight set that I use a couple times a week to help tone up.

    Sometimes I'd add in swimming but now with cold weather we are having here I'll be sticking to my running and walking mostly. I may add in some exercize videos for variety. I just tried the biggest loser boot camp video last night and it was hard.....great workout especially for the legs and arms, so I'm thinking of buying that dvd asap.

    I also like to do exercizes on those workout balls. especially ab work.

    I have the Nike game for the playstation 2 and I used to do that a lot.....another great workout but I misplaced my playstation when i moved so it's been a LONG time since I've been able to do that. I also have a will......so I've been toying with the idea of getting the wii fit system and games etc....but haven't yet.
