    I am just starting my weight loss journey as well...I have a 5.2 frame..and about 300 pounds to loose..it does look pretty grim right now...but i am not giving up...i really dont want to have surgery. i want to take it one day at a time..and not push to hard focus on the eating right then when that is accomplished focus more on the exercise. I have been doing a low imapct aerobics with yourself fitness for playstation 2. I started at five minutes now i am up to 7 min 30 sec. i know it does not sound like much but i am a sit a whole lot..and i am not in a wheel chair..i wont let my self get to that point..And every little bit counts for something...in my opinion. i am staying on an 1800 calorie diet...which just starting on may 1 it has been very hard to not eat at night...because i am a night person anyways..but i am not giving up...and i hope no one else does either..i want to be a light for God and to others around me that with Gods help all things are possible...and loosing weight is no exception.

    my main goal is to fit comfortably in dr office seat..those stupid chairs that are made for small people..its very uninviting to someone my size. and i would love to do my fitness tape the whole 15 minutes...those are small goals that i am reaching for right now.

    You should be really proud of yourself for the improvement in endurance - at the beginning, it can be REALLY hard to move much. You will notice that it gets easier over time and soon you'll be blasting through those workouts.

    Did you (or anyone else here who has lost 100+ lbs) have problems with excess skin? I'm young and because of that everyone keeps telling me as I loose the skin will snap back, but this stuff has been stretched out for a looooooong time.

    This made me so happy, like most people who lose weight only lose like 10-30 pounds and to see that someone lost as much as i want to makes me excited! Congrats!
