I get to keep my job. I guess that's a bonus in today's world.

You look amazing, dude. Awesome work!

That's great! You're going to have a bittersweet time getting a whole new wardrobe. It will be one of the best feelings ever to hand over your money. :) Congrats!

You're looking amazing! Zowwie!

Right now, I workout five days a week (M-F) and take weekends off. I weight train M,T,Th, and Fri and do cardio on Wed. My normal weight sessions are from 60-75 mins and cardio is about 45 mins.

Hey there! I have dropped 120lbs in just about a year. I started at 295'ish and am down to fluctuating between 170 and 175, depending on what my body feels like doing that day. I began by just changing my food intake because I was putting away a ton of food every day. I would estimate I was eating about 2000 calories per…

I can never give up coffee and I never will. I have been doing fine while enjoying my black gold. I DO, however, mix it up with some decaf from time to time. I'm not sure I would want to live if I couldn't have coffee.

Absolutely beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

NEVER a silly NSV! That's great that you're making better choices. Like others have said, they add up and one day you will wonder HOW you made so many poor food choices in the past. That's a wonderful step; keep it up!

Absolutely.

That's fantastic. It DOES get easier :) That's a huge step, really. Be proud of yourself and keep it up!

Outstanding! This is what it's all about, right here, folks.

You look absolutely amazing. HUGE congrats!

Very awesome! :) There's no such thing as a small NSV! They're all HUGE!

I just made minestrone in the crock pot the other night and it was amazing. Actually, it's 95% crock because you need some cooked pasta, so the other 5% is boiling some beforehand. :) We got this from the food network. It yields four VERY generous servings and depending on the brands and the size veggies, etc you use, each…

Don't stress out! You can enjoy your food while maintaining the discipline to have smaller portions. You're not going to go out there and put on 5lbs in one day. So you have a little of the food you normally stay away from. No biggie. You will do just fine as long as you keep your head!

When I started out, I was too heavy to do any exercise because I would be tired within a couple minutes. I didn't exercise apart from my daily walking around for work until I lost right about 45lbs.

That's great! You'll notice a lot less bloating and a lot of your initial water weight will go away leaving you feeling a ton better. Keep up the great work :)

You look absolutely awesome! Huge congrats :)

I want to wish you the best. You're doing a wonderful thing and coming here is a huge first step. I started out a few pounds shy of 300 and MFP has been an integral part of where I am now. Keep focused, stay on track, look at each day as a new challenge, and always love the person inside your skin. If you need motivation,…

291 to 175

I'm at work. When it starts to rain and the wind starts blowing, I'll be here working. Then, I'll go home. Same thing as every other "end of the world" storm that rolls through. Meh.

I didn't start exercising until I was about 45lbs down. I wasn't able to really do anything for more than 5 minutes before I was winded and worthless. When I was about 45lbs down, we bought an elliptical and I worked out on it in the comfort of my home. I also picked up a cheap set of resistance bands and used them to…

My two main cereals for the past year or so have been Nature's Path Heritage Flakes and Special K Multigrain Oats and Honey. I also use Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk.

Try on a pair of Under Armour Spines. I have had a lot of shoes in my life and I have never worn a more comfortable pair than the Spines. http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/womens-ua-spine-rpm-running-shoe/pid1235045-678
