So after seeing everyone on here that has lost 100+ pounds it makes mone not so significant. However it is a huge accomplishment. Im so very excited. When i looked at the scale on sunday (though I didnt log it in) my first thought is I lost a Madison (my youngest). Wow Im so very proud. Woo Hoo! 30 down 50, or 60, more to go!

    Congratulations!!!!

    PS... I also use my children as a reference for weight loss... IE... "I lost half of an Emily" or "I almost lost an Ethan..."

    It has been since June 1. I started a boot camp workout at my church, it was everyday for 3 weeks, and it got me started. When I stopped that I didnt have the money to join a gym so I found videos(i have since joined one and I go 3 or 4 times a week). I stopped drinking soda completely. (well I have a sprite like every 2 weeks or so). I eat alot of the healthy choice frozen stuff, lean cusine whatever. I dont have alot of time during the week so it also helps me out there too. I dont eat out as much. when I do i go to the resturant website and build a meal it helps soo soo much. Anywho. thats what Ive done (mostly).

    I love that the scale keeps going down. I cant wait for it not to go over 200. I think when that day comes Ill have the worst meal possible. Then of course go work it off.

    Way to go! It is a huge accomplishment when you consider how many people quit before they ever reach the 30 pound loss mark. :smile:

    Good for you!!! I have lost 65lbs total since November. Every pound counts! I would love to do a boot camp to get a kick start on exercising. That sounds like a lot of fun!

    I am looking forward to hitting 250...like you are 200. Good luck on your journey!!!
