Over the last four years I have lost 70 lbs and have maintained 60. I'm posting this to remind myself how far I have come and to be a driving force in this next chapter. This year I will be (staying positive) losing 30-50 lbs more, toning up, and gaining strength. I also have a goal to do a 5K this fall and to own a pair of shorts! Being 5,3" I need all the leg I can show ;)

    You look very pretty at your heavier weight, but the new one is so much healthier in the long run. Congratulations!

    Wow you look amazing :) Keep it up don't give up ... giving up results in going back in your weight and it never a good thing when you work so hard for the weight to come off and then its gained ... push yourself to keep it up..

    I work out 5-6 days a week, weight lifting first and then cardio. I take about an hour and a half at the gym. Walking to the stores locally if its not raining. Its always taken me longer to lose weight, but sticking to a schedule helps me.

    Next step is to start measuring my body to see the results rather than relying on just the scale. I use to be a size 22 and down to a 10/12 in pants now!

    Eating clean, but I haven't given up much. I never was a big junk food person or into soda. Its all in daily allotment and how much your burning. I tend to stay under 1,300 calories, burn 3,000 a week, 70 carbs, and drink mostly water. Red wine and a bit of 85% chocolate are my fixes. The more you limit yourself the better chance you have bingeing later.

    Remember any time of the day you have choices. Sit in front of the computer Vs. listen to a podcast at the gym, eating poorly at a party Vs. snacking beforehand, drinking soda Vs. unsweetened iced tea, etc. There are substitutes for almost everything food wise too. Its all about reprogramming yourself.

    You are exactly right. I have this quote on my phone...."You're either doing it or you're not." Reminds me to stay true to my goal.
