What a huge transformation in just a year. Keep up the great work.

Great job and thank you for your tips, I will keep them in mind and hopefully have the succcess you have had. So far I don't love running, but someday I hope to.

You look wonderful, keep up the great work. I'm also 5'2" but starting at 155lbs, my goal is to get to your sw.

It has really been an eye opener. I also drink a lot of my calories and have traded some drinks for water and if I feel the need for juice I…

I've just started on this journey and learning how to log foods and such. Just joined your group.

I understand what you are going through. I am just starting my journey to lose 30lbs and to get in shape. I often find it difficult to get motivated to excercise. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

I am new to this and would love to have some friends to support and offer support to. I am trying to do 1200 cal/day. Please let me know how to add a friend as I have been looking around the site and haven't seen it explained.
