    So amazing! I'm super jealous of your lack of extra skin on your arms. I've only lost 105 in a year and I have serious batwings.

    Wow, no tuck? Wish I were that young! I know I'm going to get a tummy-waddle when there's no fat to hold it up. :(
    Too bad I'm not gay; you'd look really hot. ;)

    In short, I was battling obesity most of my early adulthood until 2010 when I decided to take a hold of my life after a health scare. I've lost a total of 171 pounds in 13 months all natural through diet and exercising. :smile: I've been maintaining since November 2011. I'm totally committed to the journey! I'm healthy mentally, physically and emotionally! GOD is good!

    I was very much of an emotional eating. I'm not cured, but I've adopted a healthy lifestyle. My weight loss journey was all natural. No supplements (not even vitamins), no surgery... I normally run,kick box, Zumba and do the Arc Trainer at Level 20 (highest level) resistance 35-40. The Arc trainer is a calorie burner I love it! I started with the treadmill 15 minutes, then elevated to the Elliptical for 45 minutes, then to the Arc trainer for an hour.

    I'm pretty discipline with weighing and measuring my food. I cut back on junk and try to eat whole foods- little to no processed food. I cook mostly all my meals and plan in advance. I'll say 80% of my success came from what I ate. I try to keep a positive attitude....

    Lastly, during the losing phase, I lost every week consecutively for 13 months. No plateau or weight gain.

    wow! I absolutely love you! thank you so much for sharing! I am at the beginning of my journey. You have motivated to give in and start exercising I think that is what holding me back. My laziness. Can I ask did you only drink water?

    i know you've had a million replies and they are probably sounding repetitive, but I have to add my "WOW!!!!!" Really incredible. It's awesome that you did it all by just diet and exercise. What a great goal to accomplish, I bet you feel like you can do anything you set your mind to now! :)

    Be proud of what you have accomplished you are an inspiration. I just started my journey and have lost 12 lbs in just 9 days. All thru changing my habits and cutting on junkfood and lots of exercise. makes me feel good that you did basically the same thing and are where I want to be. Thanks again for showing me it is not the impossible dream.
