Congratulations! You look wonderful and so very happy.

:-) Ran my mile yesterday. Building up to 7 mph....slooooooooooowly!

Did my mile this morning at the gym. :-)

Feel better Nicole! I made up for not running yesterday by doing 2 miles today at the gym! :-)

Bump :-)

I don't do anything except PUSH< PUSH< PUSH. When going to the gym I usually take classes rather than stand on a treadmill in front of a mirror. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it just isn't my style. I've made many friends at the gym and we enjoy taking the classes together and encouraging each other. It's the…

I recently purchased the Polar FT7. Price not bad. I'm a beginner with this so it's working ok for me. Although, I am a little frustrated with the calorie burns because I bust my butt and sweat like you wouldn't believe during RIPPED, Intervelocity, and Tabata classes. I'll keep using it for sure and use my training files…

You're doing great. Pictures are the best motivation if you ask me! Keep it up!

Amazing job! Slow and steady wins the race! Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this topic. I'm running in my first *real* 5K this Sunday, the Jingle Bell Run for arthritis. Our team name is The Frosty Bites! Next year we are participating in the Dirty Girl Mud Run and I think I may use one of these on the back of our T-shirts! "If found on ground, please drag…

I give you so much credit, you look great and you must feel even better. Awesome joba nd keep up the good work!

That is fantastic! What a transformation! 70 pounds in one year is amazing. I've been on MFP for a year this week and I've lost 53 pounds. I was hoping for more, but, it takes time to do it right and then keep it off. Good job and hope you reach your ultimate goal!

Good idea with the workout routine! I MUST think of something fun because you only have your first anniversary once.

Sorry to hear your work environment is so bad. Seeing that you can't have music, what about flowers? These days you can get a nice bunch at a local grocery store that doesn't cost and arm and a leg. WIthout knowing the office surroundings/outside area you could bring in a grill and have a cookout during lunch. Not knowing…

You look amazing! Congratulations to you! Inspirational stories such as this keep me motivated. Thanks for sharing and I wish you continued success with your healthy living lifestyle!

What a transformation! You must feel wonderful and have a completely different outlook on life. All of your hard work and dedication has paid off, and then some! I wish you continued success!

HA! :laugh: You got me! That's like asking what was the most important job President Jimmy Carter every held? LOL!! Have a great day!

You look great and you have accomplished so much in such a short time!! Doesn't it feel GREAT?!?! :-) I have to agree with some of the others who have posted by saying you do not look like 174, 130 is more like it! Cheers to you! I am reaching my 1 yr anniversary since joining my gym and shooting for a 50 pound loss, only…

You look awesome Amy and your story is such an inspiration to those of us you haven't yet reaching our weight loss goal. I very much admire that you did this all on your own with no fad diets or pills or even a gym membership! Way to go and good luck on the next part of your journey...maitenance! :-)

It makes me crazy when people cannot complete a sentence without adding the word *LIKE* at least 5 times!! It makes me feel like this --> :explode: (oops, there I go saying it!...frustrating sigh!)

.... when you are having a bad day and that ooey, gooey, chocolatey warm chocolate chip cookie is daring you to eat it because it will make you feel better so you take on that dare by taking a huge bite out of it, BUT, you realize and say to yourself "What the hell am i doing???" and promptly spit every last chewed morsel…

Skinny100- The motivation for me was that I reached a point in my life where something had to change. I reached rock bottom(or top) of my weight and I said to myself "THAT's IT, I'm going to do something about the way I look and feel. So, someone recommended this website and that's how it all started. Once I could see what…

You look fantastic! Thank you for sharing your story and how you've accomplished your amazing weight loss. I hope to be looking half as good as you (I'm just over twice your age! LOL) by the end of the year. Good luck with the last few pounds.

That is an awesome tranformation!! You look great! Thanks for sharing your success.

Thanks for the free iPhone app ideas!!!!!

You look fantastic!! Thank you for posting and inspiring me to keep going!! P.S. I love your clothes!!

My first friend was, and still is, TribsT2. He has been my #1 supporter on my journey. We're actually on the journey to becoming healthy together and I couldn't ask for a better partner. Thank you TribsT2!!

I agree! Get back on the road and you will be fine. :-D

Holy Crap!! :noway: Your results are OUTSTANDING!!! I just purchased this dvd last night and after seeing your before and after pics I'm pumped to start it tomorrow! I hope I can get half the results you did. I've been hoovering over 186.8 for a few weeks now and need to make a change in my workout routine. Thanks for…
