I joined a Biggest Loser contest with some ladies I've known online for almost 3 years now. I started the contest on July 16th and we just finished it off. The results aren't in yet but I think I came in 2nd place. Although I didn't win the contest... I still won! lol
Weight on July 16th - 249.5
Weight on Dec 31st - 183.5
Down 66 lbs in 5.5 months!
In the first pic I was wearing slightly baggy size 22 shorts. In the 2nd picture I'm wearing great fitting size 12 jeans! Same shirt in both pictures![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
I did this through counting calories, keeping my carbs lowish and moderate exercise. I started not being able to jog for more than 2 minutes at a time on the treadmill and now I can go for 20 mins straight. My 5km time (treadmill again) has gone from 56 mins to my best of 41 mins. I plan on bringing that time down even more! My resting heart rate has also dropped from the mid 70s to the high 50s!

You look amazing! That's how I actually started at it. I got a postcard in the mail with a girl on the front who had lost 189 pounds without surgery. I couldn't believe that so I checked it out. 10 weeks, small classes of 3 to 4 people with a trainer, 2 times a week, 1 of which was focused on nutrition. I also exercised during the week on my own. Within 10 weeks I had lost 27.5 pounds, decided to do a 2nd round and lost another 15 pounds. Since then I have continued some small exercise classses, boot camp, etc. there and at the gym and have lost a total of 79.5 pounds since April. Now I'm on their postcard that just went out this month. These programs are a great way to get started especially since the people are just like us with the same goals, to lose weight and keep it off!. KUDOS to you!. Happy new year!0
