I am really fired up! I am down 25 pounds so far and while still consider obese by all weight charts I am feeling GREAT! I have pictures on my profile but for the life of me couldn't do them on here! Hopefully by the time I update my post to read '50 down, 25 to go' I will have it mastered! 10 pounds fell off the first week but it still is coming off amazingly fast and for the first time in years I don't feel like I am on a diet!

    Congratulations! I wouldn't take too much notice of the BMI, just a guide! I'm just about to come out of the obese range myself but I know I'm not obese any more!

    Best of luck with the final 25!

    Good job! How did you lose so much weight? It's going very slowly for me.

    Thanks everyone! If you look at my profile I explain it better but mostly I'm just keeping an accurate account of everything I eat. I have 8400 calories per week but during the seven days my calories are all over the place. I also don't eat back my exercise calorie. I'm also fat, haha, it tends to come off faster when you have so much to lose. I totally anticipate it slowing down but I am in it for the long haul!

    I see we have very similar goals - and have had similar successes. I'm on day 47.

    Congratulations :)

    Thank you! It has been my first successful attempt in years, all past diets ended with gaining weight! Counting calories and sticking to a WEEKLY goal has been the answer for ME!

    I didn't realize how big I had looked. That was my 4th attempt at a before picture because all were making me look too fat in the mirror! The after shot was taken once as I was coming back into the room. The before picture was the first time I had ever had such a big face! I was miserable!

    The difference 25 lbs makes on you is amazing - you look great.

    I'm sure if your adorable dog could talk he would refer to himself as your personal trainer/walker. :laugh:

    Thanks, for both the compliment and instructions for posting pictures! I will remember that when I hit the 50 pound mark!
