    I definately need to loose more then 100lbs and I'm on my way. I'm taking my pace slowly but surely since I'm not physically able to work out at this point. Considering that I'm not excerising other then just walking around at work I've been able to loose 23lbs in 3 months. I'm loving the results and am looking forward to continuing my pace and hopefully stepping it up once I'm able to start going to the gym. Thank you for your post.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story.. You are truly inspirational.. You look amazing.. I just joined MFP last week.. I have 100+pounds to lose.. I have lost 11 so far & I feel so different this time to. I have tried this many times - but I want this & need this so bad.. I to say the same thing about this time next year I can either be the same, heavier or be smaller.. I have changed so much about myself in the past week that it amazes me. I read labels.. Log all my food.. Drink water... and workout... Thanks so much for your encouragement... Good luck to you & thanks for being the amazing person you are..

    Thanks for the inspiration. I have had moderate success, albeit much more slowly than yours, but I still have a long way to go. Perhaps I, too, will get there one day.

    Thank you so much. I would like to be your friend on here. I need all the encouragement I can get. Well, actually I think my daughter needs it, maybe more than I do. We both started our weight loss journey on Jan 2, 2012. I have lost 17 pounds so far and she has lost a little more than me. She does well for a couple of weeks and then loses interest. Then I usually follow suit behind her. But for some reason, this time is different. We are actually excited to exercise and not to go back to the way we were. We want so much more out of life. My name on here is Melaniestella and hers is mamaof1g.

    You guys are ALL AMAZING! I've received some awesome messages and now I wish I had added some more to my original post. Hope most of you will read thru and see this. I have my profile private but it is wide open with my food and exercise diary for my friends to see. I am 44, 5' 8" and I'm a mom to 4. The profile picture of me in my old pants is with my youngest daughter. Those were my size 24 jeans and they were getting too tight. I am happy to be easily fitting into a size 10. At my heaviest I too was on two medications for high blood pressure and my cholesterol was pushing 200. I am happily no longer on blood pressure meds and my pressure is usally around 110 / 60 at my doctor visits. My resting heart rate is in the mid 50's. My last cholesterol check showed a total cholesterol of 123!!! Yes, 123!!! With the HDL being at 60 :-) This is why I am your biggest fan and cheerleader. I know where I was one year ago. I was a stage 3 morbid obese woman with a BMI of 43.1 I had health issues, 4 great kids that needed an active healthy mom and not a mom on the sidelines going into an early grave. In one year you too can completely turn your health around. Never give up hope, never stop trying. If you have a bad day, pick yourself off and start again. It's not the falling down, it's the getting back up. I'm still here with you fighting this fight. I have 10 more or so to go and I'm sticking around here when I move into maintenance as this is a lifestyle and I will be your head cheerleader :-)

    You look great!! Thanks for the motivation and inspiration!! I started with 142 to lose and am right at half way there. I am hoping to hit the 100lb mark by my one year anniversary in May! If I don't, I want to get as close as possible.

    You look great! Thanks again for sharing!

    It's so great to read the successes of others! I myself am looking to shed 125 pounds. In only 5 months I am closing in on the 50 pound mark! I had tried so many times before, but this time I was determined to make a difference. Some people tease me about my eating habits, but then a week later when I've dropped more weight again there's all kinds of congratulations. I still remember being excited to just hit 20 pounds. Now by the end of the month I will hit 50... Almost half way there already!!

    The support here is great! We can do it!!!!!!!

    i'm so worried about the extra skin...i dont want to have surgery to remove it :\

    my husband doesnt think I'll need to have it removed but I don't know...

    Thank you so much for your inspiration and your cheers. You look absolutely amazing! I too have done the lose gain lose gain game and when all totaled have lost well over 1,000 pounds yet because it was a yo-yo life I am still over 300. I joined this site Jan 2011 and lost 50 pounds in the first 6 months, then life happened (my husband left me) and I again started gaining. I gained back about 1/2 of what I had lost and am now back at it hard. I am currently in a Biggest Loser Challenge which started 5 days ago and that is what right now is keeping me motivated to keep going.

    And to anyone who wants encouragement from someone currently fighting this battle .. feel free to add me as a friend :)

    Thanks again for sharing your story and your pics!!
