And to those that haven't gotten there yet, keep going, do not quit! It is so worth it. This site really helped me get past a plateau (we all hit them) and that was awesome. I literally went for a couple weeks without losing a pound which was discouraging because I was working so hard. I took the advice I found on these…

Wow, I look at some of you folks and I am humbled, some of you losing even 100lbs or more! I only really needed to lose 20 (I started before I joined this site). Makes me think that what I've done is not so awesome but I'm happy to be healthier, that's for sure! Congrats to all of you that have worked so hard and overcome…

I plan on tracking until I get to my goal weight and then maybe for another month to "set" my weight. After that I will quit but I will continue to work out where I weigh myself every day and if I put back a pound or two, I'll start tracking again to shave them off. That's my plan anyway.

You need to do strength/resistance training to improve muscle tone. A protein powder also helps a lot to build muscle. I use AMP Wheybolic Extreme 60. It's kind of spendy but very effective. Since I started using it I am noticing definite improvement in my muscle tone and definition.

I have recently started covering up the screen with a towel. When I started I saw other people doing that and I didn't understand it, now I do. I just thought it was amazing that I felt so good that I WANTED to keep running, not that I HAD to keep running to complete my goal.

Good luck Anna! This site WILL help you. It has helped me tremendously. As soon as I figured out that losing weight was a pretty simple math problem it became pretty easy. Just stay motivated and keep you eye on the prize and don't give up!
