I started in June with 101 lbs to lose, and am down 70 lbs. I would be happy to be friends and encourage you along your journey. Feel free to send me a friend request.

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! It was reading inspirational stories like this on MFP that encouraged me to try it out! I hope to be where you are very soon hopefully the new year! We started out in very similar places weight wise. WONDERFUL JOB! I know how hard it was. The best to both of you!

Congratulations! You are an inspiration to all of us here! You look wonderful, and best wishes to you on a healthy happy and very bright future!

I'm almost done with week 6 of Couch to 5K. Amazingly it really really works. A friend here on MFP suggested it to me, or I never would have started it. I thought I was still too heavy to run. Apparently I was wrong. I have gone from a 251 lb couch potato to a 184 lb girl who ran 25 min for first time yesterday. Without…

I have done low-carb/keto twice, lost 40+ lbs, and gained it all back both times within 5 or 6 months...it does work, and it works quickly, but for me it is very difficult to maintain once I went back to 'normal' eating. I personally have finally lost 66 lbs and kept it off by using myfitnesspal and sticking to a low…

Just wanted to encourage EVERYONE to do the 30 Day Shred! I started out at 251 lbs (I'm 5'9" and 35 yrs old, mother of 2). To date, I have lost 66 lbs since June. I kept calories to 1200-1500 per day, and walked and did Jillian Michaels DVDs. I began with the 30 Day Shred, and I had HUGE results. I was terribly terribly…

I'm a mom too, currently at 185, with at least 35 more lbs to go--so we have a similar amount to lose although I started far heavier than you. Sent you a friend request, any other busy moms feel free to add me as well!

I started at 251 lbs, I'm 5'9", and I was a size 20. I have now gotten down to 194 and am a size 14 on bottom, 12 on top. My goal weight is 150 (44 more lbs) and I hope to be a healthy size 8 or 10.

Thanks SO MUCH Pisceandream224 for the help in how to post pics! Sent you a friend request! And congrats again to the wonderful lady who started this post!

Incredible results! Thanks for sharing! I would like to ask if you (or anyone else) could kindly tell me how to post pictures here!?! I'm sorry to be so technologically challenged, but I have some photos I would just love to post. Once again, congratulations on your wonderful achievement!

should say 'so I work from home' - sorry!

I founded and run my own eBay business, so I from home. I hate every minute of it. I have done this for 9 years, and it pays the bills but is very stressful and demands 90 hours per week, most of which are sitting at the computer (which has contributed to my weight problem). I am also a mom to two children, which is…

Feel free to add me! I am 47 lbs into a 101 lb weight loss goal.

I did it six days per week. I read an article where that was advised. I just continued until I had done 30 actual workouts. There were a LOT of moves I could not do, or had to modify when I began. But I just did my best, and it was amazing how much difference between days 1 and 10 of each level there was. I never thought I…

I'm SO VERY HAPPY FOR You! Congratulations! I hope to hit ONEDERLAND very soon - I hit 205 this morning. 5 more lbs to go. I haven't seen the 190s in 9 years. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all that we CAN get there!

I don't drink anything at all except water---literally---and I still retain tons of water weight for the 2 weeks before the time of the month. But then right after, I lose a lot of weight. Like at least 5- 7 lbs. Every month. And for the 2 weeks prior I usually only lose a lb or two. And I eat the same consistently. So my…

Thanks for everyone's advice. I think I personally still have a LOT of body fat left to lose (41 down out of 101 leaves 60 to go), so hopefully after the other 60 lbs is gone, the arms will improve.

I'm 35 and have lost 41 lbs, and I am having the EXACT same issue, melsmith612! I was just staring at my bat wings in the mirror before I logged on and read your post. I even photographed them, thinking to work on my arms to hopefully improve them, and later compare the photos. I have been doing simple arm exercises with 5…

I have had a very strange weight loss pattern so far. I will lose on average 1 lb a week, maybe 2. But --often, I go two weeks without losing any weight at all. Then the next week I lose 5 lbs. I think it may have to do with water retention/monthly cycle. I often will lose, then gain a couple lbs back, then lose again. My…

Congratulations! We have very similar start points and goals! You should be so proud of yourself, and so encouraged to finish up your weight loss journey.

If you have stairs, walk up and down for as many flights as you can! If no stairs, go to youtube, there are SO many aerobics/ workout videos. Someone mentioned Jillian Michaels--her 30 day shred level one is totally free online at youtube, it's about 25 minutes and is a GREAT workout that burns a lot of calories!

I have 63 lbs left to lose feel free to add me!

I'm so proud of you! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like! I started seriously diet/exercise and myfitnesspal 2 months ago today, with 101 lbs to lose. I couldn't even run 2 minutes. I think the hardest part is getting started. You have taken that HUGE first step. IT REALLY DOES WORK. One step at a time. And if you…

I'm 5'9" and started at 251, down to 214 now so 37 lbs lost. My goal is 150 so I had 101 to lose, now 64 more lbs to go. Feel free to add me as a friend!

I am addicted to my scale. I weigh myself first thing every single morning. Then again two or three times a day usually when I am home. I know, it is insane. But I have an one track mind, and right now my total focus is weight loss above all else. I wish I could just weigh once a week. I have tried to do that before, but…

I am 5'9". My goal weight is 150 right now. I haven't been lower than 158 since high school. At 158, I wore a size 8/10 and looked and felt great. But I'd like to get to 150. I started this journey at 251, and have lost 32 lbs so far. A long way to go, but I am encouraged because I am exercising more than I ever have in my…

Feel free to add me! I've been on here awhile, but am new to the message board. My goal is 101 lbs to lose; I am down 26 lbs so far. I have a long way to go. I would love to have others with similar goals to give and receive support along the way. Thanks!

Awesome! You look beautiful, fit and healthy!

Thanks so much for the invitation!! I'm excited to get back to Onederland, the place I used to be!

I would love to join as well. I'm new so not sure how it works! Any help in joining would be so greatly appreciated:
