You are such an inspiration, I am also an emotional eater, and im working really hard not to, i hit a plateau after only losing 14 pounds and now i finally am starting to lose weight again, you have motivated me so much just now, my question is how did you lose all that weight in such a short time? I am very proud of you
Thanks so much. I do not really have a secret to losing the weight so fast. I just became really physically active and ate clean. I don't have cheat days. Once a wekk I may allow myself to eat whatever I want for a meal but I aim to only eat an actualy serving size. I am telling you it works. 14lbs is a ton of weight and you should be really proud of yourself. Keep going!0 -
Wow, this is amazing. I need to lose about 80-100 pounds so this is really inspiring. I really feel like I can do it and it won't take a million years(obviously, an exaggeration but that's how a year looks from now). Really amazing work. I used to be a pot smoker actually. I am about 9 months sober, but I still drink. Very rarely, but I do. Ever since I quit smoking I have struggled with overeating as a new way to cope since I could no longer smoke. I gained 80 pounds. I was so close to getting to the perfect place because I hardly ever ate when I was on marijuana. It was very depressing, because I feel like now I have to work a million times harder. When I was smoking it was pretty much effortlessly. And I had gotten down to 147 just before thanksgiving and christmas of 2012. After the holidays I was 165-170. I felt awful and ever since then I was struggling with consistent exercise and eating right. I would just eat and eat and eat. For almost 6 months now I have been going to Celebrate Recovery at my church and I am getting better with my eating. I am practicing control and ever since I have stopped binging(although I do overeat here and there), I have lost a few inches on my belly. I never measured but I see a small difference in a couple of pics I have taken.
Amazing work and amazing amount of time it took. So happy for you!

Congrats on no smoking!!! That is wonderful. I just upped and quit cold turkey the same day I changed everything. I have no idea how the heck I did it, I guess I had more determination than I ever thought I could. I also chew A LOT of gum. I think gum is my new addiction lol, and working out You can do this, you are in control of your life0 -
You must be so proud of yourself! That is a lot of weight to lose in a short time - a true inspiration!
I started losing weight in April and managed to lose about 1 stone. I have stopped since July due to Ramadan and haven't gone back to it! I need the motivation to start again...0 -

Wow, I'm impressed! what's funny is when I look at your before picture we could be twins Except that's what I look like now and you look crazy great!! I'd love to be friends, I could really use the motivation... I started about 3 weeks ago and lost 5 lbs and have been vigilant with calories and not going over 1200 but have gained 4 back (I think I'm not drinking nearly enough water).
Way to go - you're an inspiration!0 -
Fantastic, it is darn hard, but considering the alternative.
I was considering the surgery, I am glad I didn't.
