305lbs down to 190lbs. It takes a lot of dedication and sweat. Moving past the "I can't" to the "I will" is not easy but it is absolutely doable!! It took me a little over a year.

You're welcome @justlyn and thank you. It is my hope and prayer that my story and hard work can motivate others to get in the same path...forever!

Sorry @debtay123 , that last response is for @livingleanlivingclean

@debtay123 that's how its works for me. You will have to experiment to see what works for you. I don't eat them every time after a workout and I don't like to eat before a workout. I usually have a protein shake before workout. After a good weightlifting session I will incorporate slow carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa,…

@debtay123 fast carbs are things like breads, pastas, sweets, processed frozen foods. If you crave any of that stuff the best time to eat it is right after a hard cardio session so your body burns it quick. But don't go over board.

Quit tip... eliminating carbs for a while and not eating past 6pm is a great way to get over a weight loss plateau. Only ingest fast carbs right after a hard cardio workout.

@indy87colts you are getting there, day by day, don't stop!! Keep going, you're doing good!

Thank you @JoJosAnatomymfp!! @FitOldMomma keep up the good work. It's a lifelong journey and commitment and I'm proud of you!

My mom always told me if you can't do it right keep trying until you do!

Wow! Thanks everybody! Its very inspiring to be inspiring...hope that makes sense

Thanks @jroth261 it's not easy, but it's definitely doable!

Awesome, keep it up

Thanks! It took me one year. For the first 3 months it was straight cardio 7 days a week. After that I incorporated some weight training. I would do cardio in the morning and weights in the evening. After my doctor said I was losing weight too fast I slowed down to 4 times a week cardio and 2 days a week weights. Always…

Thank you so much! I eat lean meat like turkey, chicken and fish. I cook my turkey tenderloin and chicken in the crockpot with various spices and marinades (low sodium). Lots of green vegetables and water. For carbs I will eat sweet potatoes, quinoa, and oatmeal. I'm on no bread and no sugar for the rest of my life and it…

The only way I get mentally prepared for the day has to start with time alone with God and Bible study.

Thank you for your comment and I understand where you are coming from, however, for me (and I know me) it is absolutely imperative for me to flat out cross things like pizza off of my menu. It works for me and it's all about finding out what our individual bodies can and cannot handle and/or process. I applaud you for…
