Almost 60 lbs down... Before and After Pix on Profile

edited September 25 in Success Stories
I started at 244, and I'm down to 190 lbs. It has taken me a few years to do this, so I'm nothing special (ok, I know all you mothers out there will object to that... let me just say, they'll never write a book about me, and I won't win any prizes on the Biggest Loser). But I am determined to win. There have been a couple of times I've slipped. Last winter I put 20 lbs back on. Then took them completely off. This winter I put on 9 lbs. I consider that a huge win, since winter is so hard for me. I've already taken 3 of them back off, and now I'm on to my original target of 174... I'll push past that to 169 and then hover in that 5 lb range. Is anyone else in the slow burn category of gradual victory?

    I also just posted a new before (244 lbs) and after (182 lbs) photo of me on my profile page. I am going to get down to 169 lbs, even if it kills me. :-)

    Absolutely. I want to get it off, and keep it off forever. I'm thinking this way... is the last time I have to lose these pounds.

    Hell you all... It's time for me to go and do my Biggest Loser DVD workout. I know.. I know ... It's 9:06 pm here in Chicago, but who cares. I might as well sweat, instead of sit here and eat potato chips. I'll check back in an hour to see if anyone else got up off of the couch.... even for 10 or 15 minutes. Come on, let's do this TOGETHER! :-)

    We can do this.

    Great job! It's taken me a long time to lose my weight (partially because of having kids), but I know it'll be off for good!

    Yesterday was tough, but I'm back on the bandwagon today. Pressing onward (and downward).

    Man, Bob and Jillian have a way of kicking my butt! I love Cardio Max the most out of all of my Biggest Loser DVD's.

    I'm now at 189 lbs.... down 55 from my 244, and 20 lbs to go. I've lost 4 lbs in the last 10 days, putting me just 7 lbs away from getting back to my 62lbs loss that I attained in the early winter. Then... just 13 lbs after that to 169 lbs....
