    I started out at 238.6 lbs. I'm now at 154.4 and am 9.4 lbs away from my goal.

    One of the things that has helped me is breaking my weight loss into smaller goals. Losing over 93 lbs seemed daunting, so I broke it into 10% goals. Once I lost 10%, I rewarded myself and then set another, now lower 10% goal. It was easier to focus on those smaller goals.

    If you're looking for exercise ideas try fitnessblender.com - they have all different types of workouts and lengths...in addition to working full time, i have 2 kids who are now 12 and 9 but super busy so i have to fit in my workouts when i can and love fitness blender. they have a website, youtube channel and app. you could totally do one of their quick routines while your baby is napping :smile: good luck! and don't get discouraged if it takes awhile, slow is just fine

    I had to come to this thread bc you guys motivated me when I had no hope! Almost a year later and I am 62 pounds down!! Slow and Steady was the best advice ever!!

    That is so awesome! Congratulations! I thought this was a zombie thread, but it's so neat to see posters come back with success stories.

    I have 60lbs to lose. I am focusing on working out 5x a week, MWF 30m cardio & upper body super sets, Tu&Th 15m cardio & lower body super sets

    Do 30m cardio either Saturday or Sunday and use a day to rest.

    No soda, no sugar (bad sugars), and chill on the sodium, no alcohol

    Lots of water, high protein, mediumish carb and low fat - I am focusing on my macros and right now weight is dropping fast - although before I started I hadn't worked out at all and ate like a fat *kitten* (ordering in, candy, high saturated fat). I think rn my body is just like holy *kitten* and I'm dropping... but of course in a month or so I will hit a plateau

    When you're heavier it's easier to lose the first 10-20lbs because you have the extra fat - but focus on proteins so you don't lose muscle mass and weight train - muscle burns fat!
