So 7 weeks ago I started a biggest loser contest at a local gym. I've lost a little weight before, only to gain it back plus some. This time I'm incredibly serious about losing the weight and keeping it off. I want to be me again. My weight at the beginning of the contest was 220. The first week, I gained up to 222, then kicked it into gear and at the final weigh-in, was down to 209.5. Not only did I make progress on the most important goal of weight loss...I also won 200 dollars! Not too shabby! :) So that's my current success story and I hope to have many to come. My first goal is to get under 200 lbs..these 9 pounds are proving a struggle so any encouragement would be fantastic! This site has definitely provided motivation so far!

    Nice.

    The girls at work did this, in a month 1 lost 4lbs, 2 girls got heavier, and one of the cooks (male) partook as well...he lost 14lbs. He's also the only one outta them that actually exercised.

    That's fantastic. You are so worth the effort. If you feel great now imagine how you will feel when the other 9 are GONE! You CAN do it.

    That is a great result from the biggest loser, with a cash bonus even better. I know you can drop the remaining weight. Don't give up...
  • Hi, Great job! You can do this!!!!! Take it one day at a time, and just keep moving forward- Each lb lost is one step closer to "being you" Congratulations on your loss!
