    You have accomplished a great deal, and tell your story with such care and wisdom that I honestly thought you were someone much older. Who knows... maybe you are, but you look like you are barely old enough to drink, which I must deduce that you are, since you said that you went to colleve. =)

    Thank you for sharing your story, and your encouragement with all of us!:flowerforyou:

    I wish MFP had some of the features as facebook such as liking comments and personally responding to each one. Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Thanks for taking the time to read my story! I PROMISE this is possible! you can do it. A year ago i thought id never be posting in the success forum but here i am. It wont be easy as. a matter of fact, losing weight is going to be the hardest thing youll have to do but you will be successful!

    Create a healthy eating plan- remember youre doing this to be healthy NOT skinny. I say that because many believe you have to go on a crazy diet. NO. If you cook and eat healthier, youll drop the weight fast. **Once you have your goal weight in mind, calculate and figure out how many calories youre supposed to be eating if you were at that healthy weight... for instance: my goal is to be 135lb... since ive started ive been consuming 1580 calories (for the most part ive stucked pretty close to it!!) Ive lost weight and im not starving myself... Most importantly i get to enjoy food and not some crazy diet fad food.

    Exercise- You must be active. i at least try to workout 3-5 days a week. It just depends on what i have going on... but on the days im not working out. Im still moving. I dont sit all day! So just get your body moving. Youll find how much your body loves to move!

    keep in mind, losing weight is 70% eating right and 30 % working out.

    there will be times you will goof up and have a bad day... but remember: it's just that, a bad day! Nothing more. So don't let that bad day ruin your overall progress. get up the next day and try again...


    Lastly, remind yourself on a daily basis that youre amazing and deserve to be the best you can be... not what the world tells you or what your own little negative angel is telling you. You are worth so much to this world.


    Keep going and keeping trying...

    Excellent results, progress, and advice, and attitude, and patience, and endurance, and whatever else I'm missing.

    Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing the final results topic in about, oh, 6 months share we say?

    Thank you so much!!! I hope sooner than 6months! :))

    Great, great work. Your story really resonated with me as I've always been big and proud too. This MFP journey makes me consider it as being healthier and prouder. KUDOS:bigsmile:

    EXACTLY! It's about being healthy. Big and proud just cant cut it for me anymore. I want to live a long healthy life. I DESERVE to be better and treat myself much better. :) Rock on !

    The difference between try and triumph is that little "umph”.
    Love that! What an inspiration! My goal is to go from 230 to 175 - and it seems so huge to me! It really helps to know it can be done - and in a year? Wow! Thanks for sharing!

    Youll succeed! Trust me. If you stick to this youll be amazed at how far youll go!

    Your post made me cry! I am so happy for you and I think you are a very smart girl to start this journey early in your life as opposed to waiting till you are in your 40's to try to change your life. Thank you for helping to inspire me today!

    True but i def think older people who are changing their lives are going to have an even more learning experience than me... :) Youre going to learn sooooooo much.
