Any 70lb weight-loss success stories?

98 thus far, started at 291 one though, so the first 70 came off at the rate of about 10 pounds/month. After that though, it's been more like 5-7 pounds per month and it's slowing up a bit more now too. January was 6 pounds.

Your best bet is to read threads like this http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013 and the guide for your path to sexypants, but I didn't save that link. Lots of good advice there.

The other thing -- remember if you aren't starting out morbidly obese, don't expect to keep up a 10/mo loss. Actually, I would focus less on a specific time frame to lose weight and more on just going down slowly and steadily. The closer you get to goal, the slower it will be. If you set specific time frames and your body slows down the weight loss, you may feel like a failure (even though you aren't) and sabotage yourself.

You can do this!

Hi, I lost over 100 lbs. in less than a year by diet and exercising. I did a lot of walking and going to the gym and working out there. At the gym I did the nustep and the circuit a couple times a week and water aerobics twice a week. But, I mostly walked on my treadmill at home. Due to arthritis and other health-related problems, walking was the best thing for me. Good luck. I know that you can do it.

HEY!
Yeah, I have lost 75 pounds in a year and a half! It toke a while, but I got there!
I went from 200 pounds, down to 125!
It's a lot of hard work, and there are times you just want to scream, but the end result is great!
There are times I will go upstairs with a box that's like, 20 pounds,and I wonder how I managed to do it before! I am a lot healthier, I 'm happier, I am way more confident, it's amazing !

^Hope the link works!
GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT!

I have lost 67 lbs. From my all time high of 280 I am 117 lbs leaner, older and wiser. LOL
I never set a date. My motto is one day, one meal and one step at a time. I have fallen many times and gotten back up many times and can't say it was smooth sailing all the way but when I got cancer 8 years ago they wanted me to gain weight. I did gain back up to 213 drinking liquid meals with vanilla ice cream in the chocolate ones. Mainly because they tasted gross to me. LOL As soon as my radiation was finished and I could swallow again I got back on track beginning with baby food until I could eat regular food and now weigh 163 and have varied from 161 to 172 for the past 8 years now. The key is never give up on yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself which leads to doing good things for you like you do for others. You deserve it! Every journey begins with one step so just keep on taking that one step and soon you will reach the finish line.
On to victory!
