    That's an amazing transformation!! Way to go-you look great!!
    May I ask what was your height, starting weight, current weight, how long it took you & how you did it?

    Thanks everyone! It seemed like it took a long time but when I look back, it really didn't. Once I really focused on doing the right things (around December) it started coming off quickly.
    I just try to stay around 1200 calories and I work out (elliptical and weights) an hour a day, six days a week. I'm 5'2 so I'm pretty happy with where I'm at, but my belly is still a little flabby!
    I want to hit that 100 pound loss!!!

    Thanks, I've never been told that but Rachel Ray is cute enough so I've decided to take that as a compliment

    What was your starting weight? I'm also 5'2 and look similar to your before pic- let's be friends- I'll motivate you for your last 15, you can motivate me for my first!

    My starting weight was 240. Sorry I didn't put it before. Very hard for me to have to say it

    You can get there if I can. You can add me. I tried to add you but I couldn't figure out how

    You look adorable ..nice work! I bet the folks on the maintenance forum can help you with ideas to get your last 15 off. I think i read someplace to change your settings to .5 pounds a week..and slowly take it off.

    You are just as beautiful as the day you started - but in the 'after' pics you have such a great 'glow' about you. Keep at it - and thanks for inspiring us!
