About 18 months ago, I decided I had enough of being overweight. A friend of mine and I were talking at a soccer game discussing the pros and cons of P90X vs Jillian Michaels. That was the beginning of this journey. I made a commitment to myself that day to exercise at least 4 times a week and journal all of my food. It was the best decision I have ever made. I have lost 85lbs and feel wonderful!

    Terrific!!!! Happy for you, and don't let up! I have heard it said over and over that keeping it off is harder than losing it! I have trouble believing that at the place I am now, because I still lack so many pounds to lose, but best of luck to you. Congratulations on a job WELL DONE!
  • Excellent!! Lifestyle changes may be hard to make at first, but you stuck it through and MADE YOUR GOAL!!! What an accomplishment! Congratulations!

    Congratulations. 85lbs is incredible. I just posted some pics and that was only after losing 35lbs so you must look amazing. It's really exhilerating.

    Congratulations!! You must have a real sense of freedom, of lightness, and feel much more energy, I know that's how I feel as I'm losing and it motivates me to lose more.

    I'm very happy for you!
