      Hi guys! Thank you all ladies! No surgery for the weight loss ! No skin removal either ( I embrace my loose skin!) it is tightening up though through slower weight loss and lifting free weights! The before pic was taken Jan 2014 and my weight was 350lbs! My new photo I am 179lbs!

      Even though its not addressed to me I wanted to comment on this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with losing a pound or two a week. That is a perfectly normal amount. Try to remember that the weight didn't come on over night and it wont come off that quickly either. Also,a slower loss is better. it gives your body time to adapt to the changes and your much more likely to sustain your weight loss. Yes, it may be a long road, but time is going to pass either way. Every single pound that you lose is a pound less than you weighed before.
      Had to jump in and say thanks! This encouraged me too!

      Wow you look amazing! ! The Today show? Did you have skin surgery or anything? I don't in anyway mean to imply or offend I just ask because your transformation amazes me. If you don't mind me asking what are your before & after stats? How long did it take you?

      No surgery my love!! I have loose skin but I lift free weights and its toning up! My stomach is flabby but I don't care! I started jan 2014 at 350 and now I'm 179

      I would never recommend more than 2lbs a week! At first it fell of like 4-5 lbs a week bc it was such a drastic lifestyle change I made! Now it's half a lb here or 1 lb a week ! Slow and steady wins the race! I actually added calories to my diet bc I didn't want to loose too fast

      Totally agree! Mfp rocks, I think schools should use this app in health class. You look absolutely fantastic!

      So awesome, I am really struggling, I have 100 pounds to lose and take a step forward then go backwards. You are an inspiration to me.

      You are worth it! Pls don't give up !! Don't spend another day not loving and taking care of yourself ! The time is now!!! Good luck! You deserve this!

      Fantastic transformation! Congratulations on your success.

      Just curious, was there anyone here on MFP that helped you along the way or inspired you?

      Each and every person has helped me! I love the community this has brought! I love the feed back from others and reading other pols diaries for ideas! This app is amazing

      You look amazing - I'm only losing 1-2 lb a week so feel a bit disheartened the road ahead seems so long, how long did it take and what was you avg weekly loss thanks -

      You are doing it right!!! Don't loose more than 2 a week! Now it's slowed down for me! About a 1lb a week! Sometimes nothing! I'm just so happy to be living a healthier lifestyle!!!
