HELP...I need quotes from people who have lost over 50 lbs

It's all about persistence, never perfection. If you fall down 7 times, you get back up 8 and you will be successful.

Moderation in all things is the "secret" to weight loss. It's not in the starving or over exercising. It's all about a slow, steady course to a lifestyle change. Diets do NOT work!

Here's a quote I use all the time.

"No thank you."

I pretty much use that whenever i am offered second helpings, desserts or booze.

I've lost a total of 81 pounds so far. I think my biggest benefit is feeling great about myself. I've also been able to enjoy the outdoor activities I've always loved like taking long hikes and bike rides without giving up less than 20 minutes into it. I can actually enjoy the whole experience w/out even a bit of gasping for air. . My skin looks healthier, even my hair falls out less.

I've also come to a realization, that the stretch marks i've gained on my stomach and hips due to the weight loss may never go away. So now, I look at them as "my journey scars".

Hope this helps!

I was living life before, but that was it now I am loving it! I am the active playful mom that I hoped I would be, my house is cleaner my life is more organized and focused, what is the saying you are what you eat, "well I was a fat cow and now I am a healthy serving!"

I've lost 51 lbs.
And the greatest thing i've noticed is just being able to move around without gasping for air after a few minutes. My house has two sets of full stairs, and one bathroom, AT the top floor lol. It was killer to be 256 lbs and going up two sets of stairs, i was doubling over! That's when i knew i had to change, or i'll die of a heart attack trying to get to the bathroom lol. I found that paying for an expensive gym membership was definitely a push to going to the gym and working out (Especially one with a pool)! Or else i'm wasting my money, so by going frequently i am getting my money's worth. I also committed to cutting out things. I do not drink calorie drinks such as pop or juice (still don't), and i stopped eating fast food. Although i still eat fast food now, but only because i am more conscientious about it. Before i didn't care, if i allowed myself to eat it once a week, i'd be eating it 3 times or more a week. So i stopped until i could control myself, like i can now. I eventually got rid of my gym membership, BUT i bought myself an elliptical for at home! And even though i still have 50 more lbs to go, i know i have gone far from where i was, and you know how i know this? Because everything that i had trouble doing when i was 50 lbs heavier, is way too easy for me now. I can RUN up both sets of stairs no problem now, i do it many times a day infact!

I have lost 80lbs. Being heavier hindered me. Each pound I lost was a brick on a wall that was preventing me from continuing down my path.

I'd be unstoppable if I could just get started!

LMAO That was hilarious about the 'put the cheeseburger down' HAHA

bump. I love quotes.
