Congratulations! Great job!!

Awesome!

I was 315 when I first started.

I've done both. I find running far more challenging. But the elliptical is better for my back. Plus you can increase the resistance so that helps to a degree for a challenge. I think it's kind of like anything, you can make it challenging and make it work if you put some effort into it.

I'm trying! I'm trying! LOL! As quickly as can be expected when one is losing 115 or so pounds. It took about a year. But right up until the last few months when I began to plateau, I was always thrilled with small but steady progress.

You know, you could request a meeting with management and let them know that before you start telling all your friends and family and the public in general how unhappy you are with your experience there OR before you contact their corporate office, that you'd like someone else to work with you. Possibly they will correct…

Did he by chance have a seeing eye dog? Was he wearing dark glasses and holding a cane? You're beautiful, forget that dude. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. There is nothing in the world better than getting ahold of a good trainer. I was so fortunate to get a good one. Getting a bad one can really mess things up if…

Welcome and best wishes!

I'm struggling with what/how to eat. At one point, I lost about 115 pounds give or take a few. I did that through low cab and exercise. I had some struggles and lost my way, gained back 50lbs (over the couse of five years). Now, I'm back on track again. I'm mainly taking the low carb route because I think that my…

Oh huge cheer and big applause! Good for you for standing up for yourself. Who knows what's going on in that guys life, what makes him so cruel. You are beautiful the way you are now and you are working to feel better and be more healthy. Just let him flow away from you. P.s. Karma is a *****. p.s. At least yours was from…

Way to go! Congrats!

Hi and welcome. I checked out your pictures, beautiful wife and children! I'm wondering what on earth you need to be held accountable to? You seem to be in tip top shape already. Wishing you much success!

Holy smoke! So many amazing and inspiring people!!! Everyone deserves a gold medal!! I feel like everyone on this thread and in the success stories section should be on a television show! :heart:

Wow, wow, wow!!! Some amazing advice! Thank you to everyone!

I'm looking at one made by the people from "The Biggest Loser." It's not because I'm enamored with the show but because of it's cost and the number of high ratings it's gotten. I was just wondering what folks here thought.

Hey, don't be shy! Great story! Welcome and I wish you much success!

Incredible! Congratulations!

I can relate to your struggles. Here are some thoughts off the top of my head: Use that food diary like it's attached to you. Often I've thought, "Damn how could the scale be rising???" when I've gained. But there's a reason. Once I started writing down every single thing I put in my mouth, I realized I'd been eating more…

Congratulations on your success thus far! Keep up the good work!

Welcome and I wish you much success!

Great attitude, Fab!! *applause*

Glad you're enjoying. I too am just starting and really loving what the site can do for me! :)

Welcome! Wishing you much success!

Wishing you much success on your journey! Keep up the good work!

Welcome back! I'm surely wishing you all the best. Please take no offense when I mention this though, because it has me concerned about your mental outlook and chances for a permanent change. Do you really want this? (I'd bet willing to be you do.) I mean, for yourself. To feel good. To be healthy. I just think it's…

Amazing! You look fantastic!

Awesome job! Congratulations!

Looking good! Way to go!

To me, it's not about the terminology. It feels like I'm telling myself I'm punished 99% of the time, but there's that litte 1% when I can get out of jail. And to me, that's kind of setting yourself up for failure. Instead of making all these foods off limits and bad for you, why not be of the mindset that you can have…

I think some people (myself included at one time) completely miss the proper application of it then. But thanks for the back ground. I didn't know that stuff.
