Down 111lbs in 4 months!!!

I frequently get asked questions on here about how I am losing weight so quickly! So I thought I would share the "secret" to my success!

You CAN lose weight quickly by doing things the right way. I have lost 111 lbs since the beginning of May. I've accomplished this by first having a lot of weight to lose. I started at 360lbs, and just from getting off the couch and walking 30 minutes a night, and logging my calories, first with Weight watchers and then here on mfp, I managed to lose 23lbs in the first two weeks and 43lbs in the first month. Now, I was very obese, so I never ate my exercise calories and for me that has greatly sped up my weight loss.

I still eat, (check out my diary!), most days right now two meals a day, but in the beginning usually three. I pushed my body to the limit with each workout. I kept pushing my body to move faster, do more challenging walks, go up hills. I increased my distance regularly, up to the point that I walk 5 miles at a time now. I'm currently on week 4 of C25K, so I'm starting to run. I realize that the key to continuing to drop weight in chunks is by continuing to challenge my body. I can't get comfortable, I can't get complacent, I can't forget to log something I ate. I am diligent and motivated and that is what is making me successful!

This is a lifestyle change for me. I now eat consciously and can't wait for my exercise time. I've recently stopped walking every day and began walking four days and doing weight training the other 3. I was nervous at first, but the weight has continued to fall off.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that fast weight loss is possible! I work a full time job and have an hour commute to/from work each day. I am married and have a three year old son, I cook almost everyday. I do not have a personal trainer, I do not have a dietitian or a nutritionist to tell me what to eat. I made a decision to be a healthier me, and now am following through on executing the plan I created!

It is possible!
Good Luck!
