I've gone from 220 lbs to 158 lbs (current) doing this. It did feel weird and wrong to be eating over 1,800 calories and think that I could still lose weight, but that's exactly what happened. The reality is that I was eating more than that to maintain my 220-pound self. It's slow weight loss (1-2 lbs/week), but it's…

Bumping for later.

You look great! Keep it up!

When I looked at myself in the mirror from behind one day after getting dressed and realized that I looked like the Michelin Man from behind! Rolls all over the place (made worse by a bra that was too tight). I invested in some Spanx and then got to work. I'm 27 lbs down so far - 50 to go! My ultimate goal is to get down…

You look amazing! Excellent work!

Wow! You look like a whole new man! Congrats!

Hi, ladies! Congrats to everyone who met/exceeded their goal this week. And for anyone who didn't, we all still have plenty of time, so keep it going! As for me...I lost my one pound for the week again...putting me at 205 now. I was really surprised by that because I underestimated how many calories I was eating on…

Hey ladies! Just checking in. I've lost my one pound for this week, which puts me at 206 lbs. I'm still on track to make Onederland by the end of October! Congrats to everyone else and keep up the good work!

Hey ladies! I'm doing this!

Losing slowly is the only thing that's keeping the…

Feel free to add me! I'm from Chicago. :)

I see a huge difference, as well. You look amazing! Excellent job!

I'm doing Day 3 of Level 1 today! I'm surprised I'm not more sore. When I tried doing this earlier this year, it hurt just to blink after the first day, and I quit! Right now, I'm really only feeling it in my arms and butt. Don't know whether to take that as me needing to work harder or my body being able to withstand more…

I just started this yesterday and I'm doing it again tonight! How many of you follow Jillian's "no more than 5 seconds" break rule when doing this? I try, but sometimes it gets to be too much and it ends up being more like 10 seconds! I'm sure it'll get better as I progress, but for now, it's not happening!

Wow! This is not embarrassing...this is amazing and so inspiring! Excellent job!

My Peanut! Peanut and Tiny. Tiny died a few months ago. Just a puppy. =( Angel. My big baby lol. Star. She's old and this is all she does all day, but I still love her lol.

Measure yourself and take pictures instead. I haven't lost weight in almost a month, but I've lost about an inch around my waist and hips during that same time period. I'm thinking about putting the scale away altogether!

Lol! That was cute.

I feel like I've just discovered why I've been bouncing up and down within the same three-pound range (214-216 lbs) and haven't lost any weight in the past three weeks. I've been eating around 1640/day, but based on calculations I've just done by following directions in this thread, I should be eating at least 2,341. Scary…

Another 5'4 girl here. :) I'm 214 lbs (started at 220 last month) and wanting to be 140!

Why is even THAT supposed to be okay, though? Leading a lifestyle that causes you to be obese is far from being the only way in which someone can make bad choices for their life, so why should an obese person be put down for theirs? Someone who puts down an obese person may not be obese, but they are surely flawed in other…

I'm about 214 right now and I also carry my weight in my hips, thighs, and arms (especially my arms!). My goal weight is 140, but I'll continue to reevaluate as I progress. Like someone else said, my goal isn't to be skinny/thin, but a healthy "curvy. I'm hoping that I lose the arms, but keep the boobs (I'm a D right now,…

I agree with the previous poster...those pics look like they are of two different people! Your face has definitely gotten thinner and you look younger in your most recent pic. I also see a big difference in your arms/shoulders, as well as your tummy. Good job!
