Hi everyone, I am so excited!! I have lost another 10 lbs. I feel so good. My clothes are loose!!! My daughter and I started this at the end of April. We watch our calorie intake carefully and exercise of some kind every day. We walk almost 3 miles now and almost half of our walk is uphill. My daughter has reached her goal. I still have 55 -60 lbs to go. I am so thankful to still have her encouragement. She is still doing the program. I am so blessed and thank God for my daughter and giving me the strength to keep striving for a healthy body. Also, I am thankful for each of you who have shared your stories and encouraging me. We won't give up, keep going, and keep positive attitutudes!!! We can do

    Not wanting to be the bad guy here but losing 58 pounds in less than 2 months?? Just wondering how you have lost that much so quickly? Maybe I am just jealous (bad thing I know) but also wondering how 'safe' that could be to have lost so much that fast....please dont think I am being mean, I'm not...maybe I am just looking for encouragement....been playing too long without really getting serious....
    Very proud of you and your daughter for sticking together on your journey!!!

    I too have felt concerned about the quick results, especially with me being a nurse. I do not think it is healthy to lose weight to quickly. This has been very quick. I am eating healthier and exercising. I don't take any kind of supplements. I want to do this the health way. I was on the verge of being in metabolic syndrome and basicly pre diabetic. My sugar intake is very low now and I do feel this has something to do with my quick results. Prior to this weight loss expedition - I was in school and didn't seem to have much time for taking care of myself. I sat in class or in a car all the time and studied the rest. I weighed about 158 before starting nursing school and graduated at 248. YUCK!!! I don't recommend losing weight to fast to anyone. Eating healthy is important and consuming your calories. I don't starve myself like before with other types of diets. I eat and lose weight.

    To you all, don't feel you can't say something!! Some may need intervention by those who care. After all we want to be healthy, and do this the healthly way. That is what is so great about diary and fitness. This is so much healthier than traditional diets that starve you and when you stop you gain all of your weight back and then some. This program is easy to stick to isn't it???

    Hang in there you all. Don't forget our bodies are all different, results and plateaus will all happen with different timing. Don't give up!!!

    Congrats to you and even bigger congrats on helping your daughter learn early how to take the weight off, and hopefully maintain. You are right that we all have different bodies and we each lose weight a little different but it is a proven fact that to rapid a weight loss is hard to maintain. Hopefully you are taking the steps you need now to help ease into maintenance and make this marvelous success a lifetime change! :love:

    I can understand why you are taking it off so quick. I think the closer you get to your goal it will slow down. I started June 2nd and have lost 35 pounds. an average of seven a week. I eat the amount recommended by MFP to lose 2 lbs a week but a do about 3 times the recommended exercise calories. 6 days a week twice a day for 40 minutes each. Nothing strenuous just walking and riding at easy paces.

    that is sound solid advice. i have a friend who is at least 100 lbs over my weight, and she gets so frustrated that it is easier for me to lose weight then her, but i told her that she just has to try different things. everyones body is SO different, but that is what is so great about us in the end, we just have to learn what we need to do for ourselves and then embrace that. we all have a different challenge.
