5'9" Starting Weight 357 Current Weight 346 Goal Weight 190 I would love to accomplish this in one year but that is WAY optimistic. I think two years would be realistic and doable.

I always felt strange going to the gym. Felt like all eyes were on me. But what I found out is that MOST people really admired me for trying so hard. It made it much easier to go. Like others said... there will always be those there who will look and judge, but youre not there for them. Youre are there for YOU.

I lost 120 pounds once. After being obese for 25 years, thinking badly about myself, and being reminded over and over how fat I ws... I never could get over the fact that I wasn't as big as my mind thought I was. I would walk by mirrors and not even recognize the person in the mirror. Our mind can take years to catch up…

Im the Office Administrator for a large Neonatology Clinic. I love all the precious babies but do sit for hours and hours a day. Our campus is large though, and I try to walk around whenever I have the opportunity. Also have to park a long distance just to get into work. So luckily I get a short walk in several times per…

I think it depends so much on your body, where you hold your weight, and how much you have to lose. I lost a LOT of weight once and it wasn't even noticable until I had lost almost 60 pounds. Sounds crazy, but when you have 200 to lose... that was a drop in the bucket.

That is a big difference. You are doing awesome and it shows.

Amazing transformation. You were very beautiful before and now you are beautiful AND healthy! What an awesome inspiration you are!!!!

1100-1200 is my daily goal. This is per my doctor's order. I have tried eating more and just do not lose. I worked with trainers and dieticians who insisted I need to eat more than this to lose and it did not work. Most days it is not too hard, but somedays it can be touch-- especially if I get cravings. Occasionally I go…

WW simply did not work for me. I think it is a great program for many people but required way to much food for me to lose weight. I stuck to it strictly for 4 months, worked with the leaders to make adjustments, and only lost 2 pounds. I did really like the in person support, but need the weight loss to work.

Im 353 and need positivity! Add me please if you want another friend in the same boat as you :) Wendy
