I started doing Just Dance on Wii and lost 100lbs Joined Zumba classes and lost 30 more. What motivated me was I felt awful, I was lonely, and invisible.

Partying hard and then doing the commitment 5k New Year's Day.

I love shopping now. Nothing ever looked good on before. I love the attention from guys. When I was heavier, I was invisible.

Dance!

You can get ready for a marathon in a year. Have you done half marathons before? I would try a half marathon before a full marathon. Here are some training suggestions. 16 week programs are fairly common. http://www.marathonrookie.com/marathon-training.html

Anyone?

I have a mother and friends who frequently pressure me to eat junk and unhealthy items. It is always a struggle even when it is not the holidays.

Greek yogurt Quest protein bars Special K protein cereal Baby tomatoes Grapes Goat cheese

Improved my running speed and I can lift more.

Make sure you are getting enough protein. You need to make sure you are eating enough. If you don't fuel your metabolism your body stores rather than burn.

1. I have some people who are good friends and people I have never met in person who provide support and advice. I have successfully kept the weight off. 2. Yes, friends are excellent motivation to live to better ourselves. My friends inspired me to try new things and train harder. 3. Yes, I have several friends I met on…

I eat Quest or Life choice protein bars for strength training days they are 190 calories and 15 to 21g protein. I also love Special K protein plus. I sometimes eat that as a snack.

I drink Green Tea like crazy. It seems to help suppress appetite. I also don't buy junk food. So when I have the urge to binge I have fruit or Greek yogurt.

6 days a week 50-120 minutes of cardio Strong class 3 days a week 30-50 minutes.

After I lost over 100 lbs, guys started to notice me. I was invisible with the weight, but now guys take notice. I would have never ended up with my current boyfriend without losing the weight. People can say looks don't matter, but they do.

Cheese. I love cheese.

Only made it 2 miles yesterday. I was too drained from work. That brings me to 42.5 miles so far. Hopefully I will get a good run in today.

I've kept 100lbs off. I make healthier snack decisions. I have friends to workout with. Strength in numbers helps. I monitor calories and exercise. Zumba and Just Dance made a difference for me. Both are fun and easy to stick with. Plus either one burns a lot of calories. Don't try to deny your favorite foods forever.…

Try a Strong class or Zumba tone to start. You can use light weights combined with aerobics. You might also try weight circuits 2-3 times a week. I've been doing Strong classes for about one month and it really helps with energy.

Develop healthy habits and stick with them. It helps to journal to be accountable and aware of what you're consuming. Don't swear off foods you love. I still enjoy "junk". Limit your cheats or adjust your exercise.

Special K protein cereal- delicious! and filling. Pumpkin seeds are a great snack Greek yogurt Emerald nuts or Emerald Breakfast to Go Turkey Breast Salmon Pork loin Cottage Cheese or hard cheeses Tofu products usually have 20 + grams.

I'm 28. I've lost over 100 pounds. I have about 40 to go. I log everyday.

Bio-oil helps firm skin and body wraps can help also.
