    Amazing! I need to try eating more, but I am terrified to do it! Nice to see someone who was successful eating healthy, and not starving!

    Congrats on your weight loss!! You look so fantastic! And from your pics I'm assuming you are a groomer? That's a workout in and of itself

    Thanks! I'm kind-of a groomer. I own pet supply store, self serve dog wash, and a not-for-profit small animal rescue. The husky in the photo is one of the 69 huskies rescued, near starvation, near Fond du Lac, WI (made national news). I had the honor of donating my services and grooming equipment to wash and groom many of them. More info on the huskies can be found here: www.facebook.com/headtotail

    And YES, it is a work out!!

    :)

    Honestly you have the similar body I had when I was near your weight, and you do not look 188 in the before pictures! It's amazing to see you at 118 and you don't look sickly. I'm super impress by how you got your body to look so well. I'm really inspire to do what you were doing. Give us some more tips please!:happy:

    I don't really have too many tips. I dance like a maniac in my living room and I do zumba. Mostly, though, I hit it hard at the park with my kids a few times per week. While most parents are sitting on the bench, I do what the kids are doing! If they're trying to jump from one rock to another, I do it, too. Racing, running up slides, climbing the jungle gym, etc. It sounds funny, and it's embarrassing at first, but you get over it and your body loves you for it. IMO... this kind of exercise is more useful, practical, and fun in the real world than hitting the gym and lifting pseudo rocks 50 times. LOL. I know that's not practical for everyone, but it works for me! :)

    Good job, congrats! Just one question... My BMI is 35, but I am still losing when I eat 2500 cals per day, plus exercise cals.. So am I eating too much?

    If you're losing, then no, you're not eating too much. :)

    :bigsmile: Congrats on your great accomplishment...I know it is to accomplish such a big task. I am wondering what kept you motivated to exercise and stick with it. It is so hard for me to get started that it makes me upset at myself and I know it is the healty way to conquer your healty eating habits and exercise. Well I would love for you to be my friend it is such a wonderful accomplishment for you and at such a young age. Keep up the good work and continue happiness. :happy:

    The best motivation is finding fun ways to get exercise and just truly wanting to be thin and healthy.

    Oh... and I want to be able to outrun the zombies.... haha. (kidding)

    very nice and kudos on the photo of you at the range ! I am a gun nut .... Interesting target there ... Don't get why they would emphasize the kidneys...

    I imagine it hurts getting shot in the kidneys. :bigsmile:
