I love this!! You look so awesome. Great inspiration and hope to see more pictures of your progress. Keep up the good work!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Always looking for more friends to motivate and for motivation! Feel free to add me the more the merrier. =D :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Going to the classes, walking the dog, and just getting up and about is a great way to start off towards your goal. Good luck with the dissertation and feel free to add me! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Fantastic links. Great way to motivate myself into getting into the shape I'm looking for and getting an idea of what I'd look like. Thanks!!!

I love this story. That'll be me eventually I hope. :-)

This is such a fantastic idea. And you are looking amazing. Keep up with the weight loss! :heart: :heart: :heart:

I am on week two of doing zumba twice a week and it's great! It's fun and a great way to listen to some groovy music and burn calories while shaking your butt and moving your body around without looking like a crazy dork and being judged by others. The dance steps start to become more familiar and like many things, with…

I'm no expert so please take this with a grain of salt. Just a looksy of the last couple of weeks at your Food diary and it does look like your salt intake is a bit on the high side which makes your body retain more water. That along with tracking your sugar intake since it looks like you might be a little high on that…

Bookmarking. Gotta try this later. I <3 cheesecake!!!

Same here!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Walking stick

Geek chica right here! Request sent. :-)

My husband lost 20 lbs just walking the dog daily for a few months. Starting off on slow 20 to 30 minute walks then gradually moving up to longer and harder walks. After awhile you start building up speed and some endurance too. It needs to be more than one long walk a week to really start seeing some results though.…

Congrats on your engagement and good luck on your goal!! I'm 5'1 and currently 208 looking to go down to 120 someday. Let's be weight loss buddies! :)

Born in El Paso but no longer live there. West Texans gotta represent too!! :-)

Wow, I'm totally from that area!! Definitely into all of those things. Let's be friends. :-)

I would be happy to help motivate and support you towards your goal. I've got about 100 lbs to lose so I'll be here for awhile!! :-)

I'd love to be your MFP friend! Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other. :-)

I love Doctor Who!! I've got a ton of weight to lose and would love to have some more buddies because I'll be here for awhile. LOL!!

You look awesome!! From the pics, seems like you also dropped a ton of body fat and toned up a lot. Losing 20lbs really does make a huge difference. GREAT JOB!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

I love this story. It's very inspirational and similar to my current goal. Keep it up and look forward to reading more about your wonderful progress. :-)

My video game to movie list! Mortal Kombat Tekken Doom Tomb Raider Hitman So bad they're good!! :-)

5'1" here. I am at 210lbs and wearing size 14 almost 16 pants. I'm looking to drop back down to size 8's by next year. :smile: :smile: :smile:

I've gained a couple of pounds at least. I hate that bloaty feeling!!!! :grumble: :mad: :angry:

I'd be happy to help! I'm in the same boat and feel the same way about motivation after the first couple of weeks. Add me!! :)

YES! GO YOU!! Keep up the good work!! I've been hovering above 210 for a really long time. Once I hit below 200 even if it's just tip-toeing I know I've made progress. Slow and steady works better than no movement at all. Feel free to add me if you want more friends for motivation. :-) Congrats!

I can give and use some support! Add me! :-)

Me too!!! How do you manage to brew beer and still lose weight? Those tasty 5 gallon batches can add up real quick especially if it comes out tasty and very drinkable. ;-)

I just started a similar goal of losing 100 lbs. Feel free to add me and we can lose it together!! :glasses:

I'm new to this. I'd love to lose 10 lbs in February too. Count me in!! Date: 2/5/2013 Weight: 211 lbs Here we go! :-)
