Oh yeah, we will be in the Guiness book next edition. The group lost 1500 lbs! That was on the news too but there isn't a video.

I should also add that Robert Sullivan lost 55 pounds in the 8 weeks. Claudia lost 25. I trained Claudia myself, who has cerebral palsy. These people are awesome!

I have lost 140 pounds in a year and a half. I was up to 303 lbs, stand 5'7". My skin is loosest in the thighs, upper arms, stomach, and lower back. It is wrinkly and I can pull it out and make myself miserable playing with it. It sucks. Horribly. It is, however, better than being full of fat. There is still fat in there,…

Going on special diets or drinking weight loss shakes are a recipe for disaster. Eat what you are supposed to eat (get enough calories and right nutrition) and you will be fine. Eat below TDEE but never below BMR. The only shakes you need to drink are protein shakes to go along with strength training to help build muscle.

I have gone from 303 lbs to 163 pounds in a year and a half's time. My arms have always been flabby, but since I have lost so much weight, the flab has become FLAPS. It really is like I have wings. I do lots of strength training, and honestly I could do more arm work. I can see the definition in my arms. I have bicep and…

Yours is a beautiful story and I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. You look fabulous!

WOW!!! You have just inspired me to really focus on lifting more. My arms are like yours were, but ten times worse in the flappy part. I have been searching for ways to tighten skin and all. I didnt' realize lifting could make that much of a difference. Thanks for posting!

I envy your arms! You did wonderfully.

You look fantastic! You look younger, happier, and healthier! Kudos!

Well I was craving cake, which is odd because I was never super into sweets. So I ate a few bites of my daughter's watermelon, and decided to have popcorn with cinnamon and sugar, then realized I didn't need the sugar so I ate just buttered popcorn. LOL. Not craving cake anymore but I went over by almost 250 cals with the…

That's a great NSV. Congrats to you!

You all put a lot of thoughts into your replies (well most of you :)) Thanks! I'm not jealous anymore, and I feel lots better about myself. I worked out extra hard core today and did great!

Great analogy!

You rock! That was a great reply. Thanks for taking the time to think it through.

No I haven't tried them but just looked them up and they sound amazing! Please message me and let me know how they work out for you! I read some reviews but I don't trust them all.

I like them just right. If they are too tight I feel obese again. It reminds me of when it was time to buy another bigger size. When they are too loose, it reminds me of how big I was. I feel "dumpy" when my pants hang. It's hard because I just can't seem to find ones that fit me perfectly anymore!

I take a multivitamin, magnesium for muscle function, biotin for skin (don't want saggy skin), B6 for energy, and D3 because I had a metabolic panel and I was low so the dr recommended it. I used to take the chromium but my doctor said it builds up in the body and can cause heart palpitations and other problems. My multi…

I had to work my way into it. I lost about twenty pounds just by lowering calorie intake, then I joined a gym and started off by walking the treadmill. After a few weeks of that I started Zumba and worked my way up to harder fitness classes.

Awesome job!

Damn! you look hot!

Wow, girl! You really came a long way fast. Working out is the key to success, I think! Go you!

i took a picture when I got there too! Its' a great feeling isn't it? Good job!

You look so different after losing the weight! And you look much smaller than 175! I hope I look that good when I get to that weight! You rock!!!

Oh wow, everyone! Thank you so much. By the time I finished reading all these comments I was teary eyed. Words can't express what this site and my friends on here mean to me. And reading that I am an inspiration....I NEVER in a million years thought I would be an inspiration to others trying to lose weight. I never thought…

Ok I fixed it.

Can you see the photos? When I look at my post it says the pictures were moved or deleted. And they aren't!

Our Wal Mart actually has some cute stuff. i can't find the best sports bras there, but they have Danskin Now workout shirts and bottoms that are cute.

Okay so you don't like protein shakes, but have you ever tried the powder mixed with something else? Like in a recipe? Some people use it in pancake recipes and such. I am sure it could be googled. Greek yogurt is a good way I get protein. Jerky is a good way. Special K protein bars (sold in diet supplement aisle) have ten…
