I have been overweight since I was seven. My starting weight was 274 pounds. I'm not 174. I'd like to lose 20 more, but I'm not in that much of a hurry. I feel much better now as it is. It took me 412 days to lose the first 100. Here's a picture. I was very good at avoiding the camera, so I don't have very many before pictures.

    Sorry, I had to read it a few times to understand you meant "I'm NOW 174..."

    I kept reading it as though the slender you was 274 but you were working to lose 20 more lbs.

    What a great job you've done!

    You were on my FR, when I had a different username, before I quit (again) and it's so awesome to see you stuck with it and reached this milestone of weight loss!!! I'm so proud of you!

    Just so wonderful to see that you succeeded!!! :flowerforyou:

    Great Job!! I too am trying to lose 100 pounds. I am tired of the aches and pains when I get up in the morning and I am not even 40 yet!! I want to have another baby and need to lose some of this weight before that can happen. Determined. I took that first walk around the track yesterday and was so proud of myself. I was able to walk for about an hour briskly so I burned a good amount of calories. I think I walked about 3 miles. Go me!!
