    edited September 2024 in Success Stories
    It's been a hard journey but surprisingly not that long ( I have averaged a 2 lb weight loss per week). I never knew I had it in me to lose weight but I have quickly realized that you need to give it your all and push as hard as you can and you will see results. The biggest changes I have made are:

    -drinking 8+ glasses of water per day
    -having home cooked meals the vast majority of the time vs. eating out or ordering in
    -exercising 4 or more times per week (I have been exercising at home using EA Sports Active 2 or the 30 day shred). Also taking my baby daughter for walks
    -not snacking at night while watching tv (such a bad habit)
    -finishing my food diary everyday and being under about 85% of the time (everyone needs a treat every now and then)
    -keeping my motivation at the front of my mind everyday (in my case my little girl - I want her to live a long and healthy life and not have to worry about her weight)

    I was 215 when I started this journey in December and that was 6 months after having my little girl and today I am 177.2!! Can't wait to reach my next goal of 160.

    Here are the pics:

      What a difference!!! We are having about the same success. My start weight was just a little less than yours when I started and I am now the same weight you are. Doesn't it feel great!! I was surprised at how fast it came off to!

      You look amazing!!

      I'm so glad to see the pics... I'm on a similar journey. Started at 240 back in February, down to 208 right now, with a final goal of 150. My mid-term goal is to be under 180 by my vacation in July, and I've been trying to gage what that will look like on my 5'6" frame - now I know :wink:

      Keep up the great work!

      You look great, congratulations!
      If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? I'm 5'9" and at 239 right now; my goal weight is around 170ish and if I look as great as you at that weight I'll be super happy! :)
