Tremendous work! I bet you FEEL so much lighter with so much more energy! Question...besides being able to burn more calories in the same amount of time, why do you enjoy the elliptical trainer so much more than the treadmill? Ive never been on one to compare.

Thanks for posting yet another great success story to motivate us still overwieght persons. You are to be congratulated sir!

Familygirl, I read your story and what a story. You are a spectacular person to lose that kind of weight. You have made some real changes that have lasted. You should be proud. Sorry for highjacking this thread, i was just too impressed to not say something.

I just started this excercise thing this week and found out yesterday that I get a raise in calories when I excercise. Cool! Problem is... I need to excercise in the morning though instead of at night before I go to bed. I am not hungry this late at night. I already get up at 5:30AM to feed the horses, cats, dogs, fish,…

Thank all you military folks for your sacrifice! You guys are the best!

Yes the first few weeks they say you will lose more, I actually lost almost 10 lbs the first week. The more you weigh the more you will lose the first few weeks. I was eating almost 4,000 calories a day and didnt realize it. Be prepared for that weight loss to slow down once your metobolism gets used to the lower intake of…

Ive only been here a little over 2 weeks but I will tell you what continues to motivate me each day. I make sure I go to the "Success" posts each night and look at the before and after pictures of those that have made it. This tells me that no matter what, if I stick with this as these marvelous people have done, I to,…

Forget to move the legs. That can be embarassing, even at home...Dont ask me how I know!

Sorry Juicegirl, I know NOTHING about treadmills, excercise or joints (never tried them personally, some of my friends have though). I will piggyback on your questions hoping some of these excercise gurus will answer both of our questions. I jumped on the treadmill for the first time in several years tonight (took me a…

Great job of losing the weight, I only hope that I can accomplish that in that time frame. Did you exercise much or just eat less calories. You have got to be proud of yourself

That looks IMPOSSIBLE. Are you sure you just dont have a thinner twin sister around somewhere? Who would think that those are the same two girls? It sounds like that nasty word "excercise" was a huge part of your rapid and impressive weight loss. You should be so proud of yourself for accomplishing this, not only do you…

Thanks alot Teagin, you put a lot of study into what makes you tick...very wise indeed. It obviously worked for you, losing 108 lbs! Of course that old ad ..."you cant eat just one" comes to mind and boy were they right in my case anyway. Thanks to everyone for you comments and experiences for helping me do this.

I was hoping I wouldnt get kicked out of here with that, it was of course only in fun, I really like this site and it is helping me tremendously. I cannot have a Whopper because that was my last mistake after loosing 23 lbs on watching my caloric intake. Once I gave in, the next times that I LET myself have one came…

Oops, forgot another favorite lunch time meal that is quick; easy and delicious. An apple pecan chicken salad from Wendy's with the Pomgranent dressing (yum), everyone that I have told about his loves it. It fills me up for lunch and I can make it to dinner.

I really like McDonalds Maple and Fruit Oatmeal. It satisfies my desire for something sweet but the calories are not that bad for breakfast. It is also so quick to run through the drive through on the way to work. (Im not normally an oatmeal eater, but really like this oatmeal with the apples, raisins, cranberries) I now…

I dont have much time to prepare breakfast before work, so I have found pre-cooked turkey sausage that I pop in the microwave for a minute and eat this with some mustard without bread. I really like the taste and the calories are not bad at all.

That metamorphis is very impressive. You have got to be happy with yourself! Ive just started this a couple of weeks ago but I know its got to be done. Thanks for posting the pictures because it lets all of us lard butts realize it can be done if we stick to it. Any helpful hints on your success would be appreciated.

Your weight loss is amazing and the tremendous smile on your face in the success pictures reflects EXACTLY the way those of us that are just starting this journey are dreaming about feeling one day. You can tell that the first pics were smiles that were only skin deep, the success pictures show your soul is laughing out…
