I found some pictures from a year and a half ago and was shocked by how big I was. I mean I knew I was big, but i was in denial of how big I truly was. Seeing those pictures showed me how far I really have come. Now losing the last 30 lbs seems just a little bit easier :) I know I can do it and I will never let myself get that big ever again!! It's a little embarrassing posting these pictures but here goes nothing. Lol.

I still have a ways to go but I feel proud of myself for sticking with it this time :)

    Honestly what has worked is staying under calories and exercising. And when you exercise really push yourself don't give up. When I started out I did 50 min of taebo a day and two 50 min walks a day. Then worked up to jogging twice a day for 30 min. And drinking plenty of water! It actually does help! Now was I 100% dedicated? No in the beginning I still ate pizza and ice cream and still lost weight because I stayed under calories. However after hitting some plateaus I had to change my eating habits completely. I took baby steps but still pushed myself

    I hit my first slump at 35 lbs lost and ever since then it's been I'll lose a lb and hold at that weight for two weeks before I lose another lb. it's a little discouraging but i keep at it!!


    And thank you!!

    That's a big difference.

    Thank you :) I'm glad I found those pictures. I didn't realize there was a difference. There are times I still feel I look like the same 200+ lb person so it's nice to see photos and realize I have made progress :)

    I starter looking at the pictures and then I saw the last one when suddenly my jaw dropped when I saw the one for today. Amazing!! Super hard work is paying off good, keep it up!! I have one thing to comment regarding my weight loss if I may...I find it to go so slow, its driving me crazy!!! I am a single parent that works full time and studies, so all I can fit in my tight agenda is a 45 minute Tae Bo workout each night, and I've been loosing about 1 pound a week. I am adjusted at a 1200 cal a day which I do sometimes go over,but overall I still struggle to not over eat during the day and I am a bit frustrated with the progress since I joined MFP (4 pounds in 3 weeks). I don't know what I'm doing wrong though!

    Do you drink enough water? A few times I hit some slumps and increasing my water helped. Too much sodium will also cause water retention so watch the sodium. Also do you snack at night? If I snack in bed it hinders my progress so when I get done with dinner I don't eat anything else for the rest of the night
