Rose, glad to see you on MFP and know the experience all to well of hitting all time high, 3 years ago I weighed 255lbs and wore size 20/22. I was unhealthy, have no motivation, and didn't know how to eat right and make better choices. Then I hit my ahha moment and decided this time around it needed to be about lifestyle…

sometime you have to change up what you are doing and remember this journey is a lifestyle change. For over 20 years, i "dieted" and tried everything out there and loss weight and then put it back on.This time around I decided to committ to a lifestyle change of eating healthier and working out and that nothing or noone…

congrats on your success, amazing results thus far keep it up!!

You got this, you know it was possible once and now you must make this as part of your lifestyle, like brushing your teeth. I had to do the same thing 3 years ago, if it wasn't for having my ahha moment and realizing this is just as important as anything else in my life I wouldn't have loss 118lbs and maintained it.

Hi Alicia we are here to motivate you, glad you came back. This journey has to be about a lifestyle change and not a "diet". After 25 years of trying everything and nothing working for me and putting weight back on I decided it was about lifestyle change, proper nutrition, and planned workouts with maximum results! I loss…

Don't focus on the pounds only and I know when we step on the sale we want to see the pounds down,we didn't put this weight on overnight so it's not going to come off over night. Three years ago I weighed 255lbs today I am 148, it's dedication, commitment, eating right, proper nutrition, and right mix of workouts that burn…

You look fantastic and what an awesome idea of a cut out, how did you do that?? You should be proud of your accomplishments, I know I am. Your before and after reminds me of mine, I weighed 255lbs 3 years ago and today 148 and went from size 20/22 to 4 and more importantly it's how I feel. Never would I have thought I…

Congrats and keep up the great work. Three years ago I weighed 255lbs in a size 20/22 today I am 148 in a size 4, the feeling over getting out of the "obese" or "overweight" categories is wonderful. one day at a time and Never give up!

If you are eating less than 1,200 calories and working out you are not eating enough, what happens is you're putting your boy into starvation mode and it stores the fat. My first two years of my journey, I ate 1300-1400 calories per day and the last year doing beachbody planned programs such as p90x and insanity to name a…

Welcome Paul and don't worry about attractive the important part is that you are taking control of your life and starting your journey. This has to be a lifestyle change and one that you need to ask yourself what is your WHY?? How bad do you want to get healthy and fit? What deamons must you fight through to get the…

Lol doing insanity 60 day program naked??? Have you done insanity? I have and cannot imagine doing it naked and getting ready to start second round of insanity and p90x but hybrid!!!

Don't give up, think of your journey as a lifestyle change and not a "diet" because 25 years I tried to "diet" and failed. Past 3 years of a lifestyle change of eating healthy,making better choices, and right nutrition and planned workout programs I have been able to loss 118lbs and keep it off all Because of right tools…

Would love to give support, this lifestyle change is a journey that we cannot look back but rather take one day at a time. That has been my story for the last 3 years, which resulted in me dropping 118 lbs and went from size 20/22 to 4 and the most important thing is feeling amazing. What type of cleanse are you doing?…

Kari you can move towards accomplishing that goal, after weighing 255 lbs all my adult life until taking charge of my health and fitness I never thought I would ever run a 5k. Although I don't like to run, I have accomplished 5k's every year and it wasn't until I kept pushing myself to do more. 70 lbs is doable but you…

Almost had a mental breakdown in 2009, Stress and not taking care of myself for over 25 years put me on the path towards a healthier and fit lifestyle. I use to watch Biggest Loser eating devil dogs and potatoe chips crying until I went back to the gym and realized if I am sacrificing my family time to get to the gym I…

Mrsjaybob, Good for you doing insanity, i completed it myself and at the age of 43 I never thought I would have done such a workout, it is quit grueling. Its great to not feel my age and knowing that I am that much more physically fit because of insanity and p90x puts a smile to my face. As for motivation, keep telling…

I feel the same way when someone calls me ma'am, interesting topic as my grandson just called me that this morning and I said to him i'll give you ma'am...lol

Nothing wrong with being queit, but when you need support in helping you reach your goals it's good idea to connect. heidi
