Hi, I am Melissa. I was 500 lbs in 2010. I have been working steadily at losing weight. I am now down to 277 lbs. I want to get down to at least 140 lbs. I know I don't have 200 lbs to go but I started out very large and I still see myself that way some times. I am trying to see the person that everyone else sees, but I…

I have stopped eating when I was depressed. I don't eat candy, pasta, pork, or drink pasta. I work out for 2 hours 4 days a week. I stay moving when I am not at the gym. I try to get at least 5 hours of sleep a night. Thank you.

Thanks for the support!

I hardly feel amazing. I feel like I have wasted half of my life living inside a suit of mushy armor. Shielding myself from my past and preventing the future. Now that I am getting rid of the weight, I find myself scared of what goes on around me. I am having to learn to trust people in a world that is not safe. Thank you…

Thank you. She is my third little girl. My last. I have had too many complications due to my weight. I can no longer have children. I might adopt someday though! :smiley:

I do, but I still have more to go before I can be who I have always wanted to be. I am not letting anything stop me this time.

I am working two jobs. I start my day at 4:00 am and head out to work. I work at my first job until 8:00 am then jet off to my second job. I stay at that job until 6:00 pm. I still go work out 4 days a week after work. It usually takes me 2 hours to get a good work out in and then I head home. I have three kids that I do…

Let you know how it goes. I am not anywhere as small as anyone that has posted so far. I am 5' and 30 yrs old. I weighed 500 lbs in 2010. When I started at the gym three weeks ago I weighed 304 lbs. So that is going to be my before picture. My "after"picture is actually my current picture. I am no where near my goal…

The dreaded plateau... very frustrating. No weight loss this time. Worked out even harder.

Everything is happening at once now. I started to eat right and now the pounds are melting away. I have three job interviews this week. I graduated from my course in Medical billing and coding. I am continuing this week for my associates. I am buying a nice car. So much stuff happens when you turn your life around.
