I started this journey last Nov. 2011 and in April 2012 i had reached my 20 lbs lost goal!! I was so proud of myself. but then stress creeped in and for the past 2 1/2 months I have been in a slump and can't seem to get motivated to lose anymore. I have gained. about 8 to 10 lbs back. Please share pictures of your journey and hopefully it will help encourage me to keep pushing. Thanks!

    I'm 5'2'', and I've lost 8 pounds so far. I dont work out everyday, but I do eat the recommended 1200 calories and I walk a lot. I try to get as much exercise as I can daily, it's hard sometimes because I go to work full time and I attend two colleges, one full time and one part time so I'm very busy. I don't have any pictures because 8 pounds isn't much, but I can definitely see that my stomach is smaller!

    I'm all over the place with exercice! I jog, lift weights, do step aerobics, hike, walk, yoga, bike... always changing it up so I don't get bored. But honestly, most of my weight loss is due to my diet. Track your calories and the weight will come off!

    i am 5ft and have lost 40lbs. i started eating 1200 cals per day and then the majority of the cals were for dinner. i recently found this was not working for me. now i have 3 medium sized meals per day and if i have allowances and im hungry i will snack. i changed the way i saw food and was strict. i started zumba 7 times a week i am now down to 3 but it seems to be still ok. i have lost anywhere from 0.5-4lbs per week and recently i had stalled for 2 weeks but i lost 2lbs this week.
    my start weight was 191 my mini goal was 154 and my long term goal is 128-130 and i will see where i go from there
