June 1st, 2012 of this year I was 208#, I am 5' 6" ......................I was so upset and uncomfortable! I wore a size 18W or 20W in slacks. I wore a 1X-2X for blouses. I did a walk around the hospital campus where I work each am, it's about 1.68 miles. I arrived 45 minutes early, did the walk, then went to work. I did…

Your words are very inspiring. I had 65 pounds to lose, I have lost about 1/2, the struggle gets harder as you lose, but I'm worth it and so are you and anybody else reading this. We'll all do it together. That makes it easier, knowing others share your struggles, it makes it hard to not feel like an island when you don't…

I'll join. I have been doing C25K so I'll put in what I've done so far. 3/2: 2.65 mi RUN 3/3: 2.54 mi. RUN 3/4: 1.7 Walk 3/5 1.7 Walk 3/6 1.7 Walk 3/6 2.65 RUN Total: 12.94 WOOT!

I just finished C24Kfree today, I signed up for our Corporate cup run today, too. It takes place on my little brother's 51st birthday, he died May 11th from a long painful bout of tonsil cancer. I'll be motivated knowing he is up there watching me and laughing at me. He was always the runner and I am so not athletic. He'll…

I did C25Kfree on my iphone, got it in the app store. It's a wonderful program. It starts you out slow, alternating between walking and running short distances. Eventually you are running more than walking. Don't try to do too much at once. I started out running very slow, my knees hurt, so I talked to people at work that…

I have this program, have not started it yet, want to be sure that I can commit the time it will take.

MFP set my caloric goal at 1200 when I put my weight in today. I think that is very low!

I'd like to see a photo where you are smiling, you have so much to smile about. You did an amazing transformation. We all know it takes hard work and dedication, congratulations!!!

Go get 'em! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool, I will keep at it then, I think I may be going to fast, and I did download the Free C25K app onto my iPhone. I didn't have confidence that I could do it, but after reading here, I can! I know I can. http://c25kfree.com/

I just downloaded FreeC25K. http://c25kfree.com/

Would love to know this one, too. I run but only for a little bit. Should I do more leg weight to build muscle, what? HELP?!?!?

HolY buckets, amazing! You don't look like the same person. So impressed!

Good Idea to take pics, I should have done that. You can really tell the difference!

I walk 30 min in the morning when arriving for work, 30 min at lunch, then hit the gym after work, 15 min on elliptical, 25-45 on the treadmill, walking or running intervals, then weight machines every other day. I do some dips when I get home and an arm workout from Youtube.

I just started exercising and losing again, too, it feels great, but am at a plateau, also, darn it!

GULP! I feel ashamed that I am whining! YOu have come so far, you look great! congratulations!!!

It really helps to see photos, thank you for sharing, but what are you waiting for? Your weight loss is something that you should be shouting from the roof tops. Please share all the photos with us, it is a GREAT motivator for me to see them. And it's all about me! HAHA. You look amazing!!!

BOTH Of you look amazing! Score, there's hope for me yet!

Wow, you are beautiful, no matter the weight. Love the dark hair. I am now going to work harder at what I am trying to accomplish> Thanks for sharing, I believe it was hard for you.....because I hear that same drill Sargent.

Holy buckets, I want arms like THAT! You look so good, and so happy.

I am struggling right now, seeing your photos at 50# is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. You look amazing. Your mom was my age. That is scary to me.

Killer new dress, too! Love it, you look amazing. It's tough!!!!

Good job, are you going to do it again?

Your daughter will most likely want her OWN dress, mine did anyway and I fully supported that decision.

Wow, congratulations, it is a journey that is so hard. I am so impressed, you look great!

been on the livehealthyamerica.org 100 day challenge since 1/23. So far I'm down 9#. Not too good...........but I am exercising, eating right and drinking lots of water. I joined MFP when a co-worker told me he used it.

EMBARRASSING? No way, you are showing great results! GO YOU!

Thanks so much, dear girl! I was looking at losing over 70# awhile back. I am now down to losing 57.8#. It helps to see people going the long haul. You look amazing!

I'd tell you the same as everybody else, but you want honesty. I think it looks just fine. Mine has never been flat completely.
