    Congrats on the weight loss! People struggle to lose 10, 20, 50, 100lbs, but the strength and will it takes to lose 285lbs must be incredible. It's true you look like a different person.

    Did you have loose skin issues?

    Thanks. Ya, I don't think there is anyway around it. If you lose this much weight there will be some areas of skin. I am hoping to have some corrective surgeries in the future.

    Thanks, I typically hit the gym 3-4 times a week for 1 1/2 hours. I spend 1/2 the time doing cardio I prefer jogging on the treadmill. Then the other 1/2 is strength training (free weights.)

    WOW!!! You look fantastic and I am sure you must feel really great. You have lost 50 pounds more than what I STILL need to lose and I wonder if I will ever get there. Seeing you got there gives me hope I might make it too.

    In case anyone is interested, check out my facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/377103209015683/

    I started this page as a way to keep me accountable. I have posted my goals, my fears, and my rewards throughout the last 2 years.

    Now, as I am closer than ever to hitting my final weight loss goal I believe this group should expand its reach.

    Lets make this a group for anyone who is struggling with their weight/fitness.


    We can share our hopes, fears, recipes, goals, successes and struggles. I believe if we come together we can help each other better our health, our fitness and our way of life.

    Who's in???
