Just gotta tell ya.....AWESOME!!!!! I'm excited to be in my size 12's instead of 26/28's too! Can't hardly wrap my mind around the 12, much less a 2! But I know I'm not done, so who knows! You prove it's possible!

I started at 330 lbs and so far I've lost 145, so I do know how crazy the changes can be! For one...I've never been so cold in my life, I say I've lost a person & it was the person keeping me warm! Even some family doesn't recognize me! But it's all worth it! And I'm not done yet!

I signed up for MFP January 2 years ago & after reading a lot of success stories including the gym, by the end of January at 35 years old, I stepped foot into my first gym! To begin with I knew nothing...stayed on the recumbent bike because I felt I couldn't fall off of it! They set up a couple appointments to give me…

Hi! I'm here to say it's possible & sooooo worth it! I started at 330lbs & so far have lost 145lbs! All "just me" watching what I eat & exercising! The "real" way works! And I had a previous co-worker try to get me to do those shakes with him & his girlfriend, saying I'd have so much more success! Well...she from what I…

Awesome!!! Congrats! Ya gotta love the ease of movement with such a weight loss! And keep celebrating the "new you" along the way!

Yep! I started Jan 2012 & am not done yet! It has been an incredible journey! And yes...the old school way of watching what I eat & exercising!

My advise is to keep in mind why you are doing it! Before when I tried to lose weight because "I should" just wasn't a good enough excuse for me! When I hit 35 years old I realized I'm getting older so I decided I wanted to lose weight for longevity & quality of life! It has made a huge differance! I look around at older…

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I started here January 2012 at 330 lbs! I'm now down over 110 lbs! I'm not done yet! It's work in progress! It's taken time but I really try to look at food as nutrition like its suppose to be! Trying to eat clean such as fruit, veggies, lean meat...no processed boxed stuff! And I've…
