I'm right there with you girl! We can do this! I started at 212 in Jan 2012. I lost 58lb and got down to 154 By Jan 2013. However, a little break put me back up to 159. My goal is to be between 140-145 by July 4th. i think we both have very attainable goals! Good luck!

Congrats on your transformation! If you want, you can friend me. I have a transformation picture under my profile pics. I lost 58lb over the last year, but 35inches! i lost 12 inches around my waist alone! I went from a size 18 to now i can wear some 8s.

I actually have lost 58lb and have another 10-15 to go. I want to get to 140-145. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and had just recently added in weight training. However, Because I havent lost for nearly 4 weeks, I think I'm going to go back to all cardio until i lose the rest, then I will add the weights in. I do cardio 5 days…

My driveres license is 20lb more than what i weigh now! :)

I lost 57lb in the past year and have had 2 kids. All I did for the first year was cardio and change my eating habits. I have no loose skin around my stomach and I can see abs which is something I am very proud of. i went from 212 to currently at 155. i'm now starting toning because while i dont have lose skin, i would…

I guess i could tell you a little more about me hehe. I started losing weight January 2012. i was 212lb at the start. I started eating right and walking in the begining and I gradually added in jogging and running as the year went on. Sometimes I needed something different for my body or if I was sore, I would do the…

You can friend me if you would like, i havent mastered posting pictures on threads but my profile picture has been running/walking/elliptical and eating right for the last year. Thats it, I havent done any strength training yet. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

wow, you look like a completely different person! So amazing!

I've had a few suprises, some good and some not so great. I've lost 57lb since Jan 2012. Good: I only did cardio for a year and no weights and the extra skin from having two kids via c-section is almost all gone! I get compliments constantly and asked if I'm 20-21(I'm 28) I have abs! I fit into my first 2 piece bathing…

I as well have been eating a 1200 calorie diet. I lost 57lb in a year! I used the recipe builder on this site to figure out what calories homemade dishes have!

I agree, get the water flavor drops. there are many brands out there now: Mio, Dasani, Crystal light, and more stores have their own brand. Thats how I drink mine!

You can friend me and look at my profile pic. I'm a large frame. 5'3" and my doctor said a healthy weight for my build is 140-150. here is what I have done so far: SW: 212 CW: 155 GW: 145

I have lost 57lb over the last year. I'm right there with you in that i still see that girl that weighed 213lb. However, someone I'm friends with on here suggested standing naked in front of the mirror everyday. This is slowly but surely helping. While I tend to be a little obsessed with bulges i see, I have learned to…

Thank you very much for the advice and support :) I actually went to the store and put 7 gallons of water in a cart to see what it was like to push :)

I actually told my husband part of my issues is that we havent had the money fo me to buy many new clothes unless i needed them for work. I really would like to buy things to wear around the house or just out and about that fit because when i wear the XL shirts and XXL bottoms.....i still feel that size. I'm thinking this…

I've been on a 1200 calorie diet for 6 months now. When i first started a year ago i was on a 1600 calorie diet. How long have you been on it? It definitely is hard in the begining to get used to. I also started out at 212lb. Our bodies were used to something completely different. You can add me as a friend and look at my…

I am 3lb from my goal. My family set a weight loss challenge a year ago with the reward as a paid trip to disneyworld if you met your goal. Well I'm going to meet my goal so the trip is free to me! I've been buying new clothes along the way since i needed to for work. I will probably have family pictures done since I have…

Thanks, im not necessarily wanting it to stay gone afterwards. I'm all about losing weight the right way, and have been for the past year.

My calories are already at 1200. I will try cutting out all the carbs i can. Someone also said green tea works. thanks for the advice.

I know this post was awhile ago, but it looks likes some people have posted recently, so i will too. I'm 5'3" and started at 212lb back in January 2012. I currently am 160lb with 6 more to go to my first goal. Its not easy and you must commit to the lifestyle change. I was at the point where i would diet for a week and…

I love that you post this question because there are so many different answers. i've lost 52lb since January 2012. For the first 3 months i did no working out and just stopped drinking pop and eating fast food. I lost 15lb right off the bat. Then it was counting calories and exercising 5 days a week. HOWEVER, I dont eat as…

I definitely think you are maintaining then! I also have the same goal of no more than 5-7lb over my goal weight.

Even though I still have 6lb to go before i hit my goal, I'm doing great at maintaining and have actually not gained anything even through the holidays. I, like you, do not want to gain back anything. My question is..did you make it through the holiday and gain minimal weight and then take it back off? I feel like if you…

Everyone was shocked how i showed great resistance at family get togethers. I have actually lost 2lb since christmas. However I am at the end of my weight loss journey(52lb lost with 8 to go) so weight is slow to come off.

5'3" I have a large athletic frame and my doctor said 140-150 is an ideal weight for me. At 212lb: 16-17 At 186lb: 12-14 At 161lb: 10s My goal weight is 145-150 and a size 8 comfortably. I already weigh what i did in college, so now i am shooting for what i was my freshman year of college! I am 15lb less than i was my…

I'm right there with you. I've had 2 kids and both were c-sections. I have a large frame and athletic build so my doctor said around 145-155 would look right for me. Before i had kids i was shaped like an upsidedown triangle with very broad shoulders. Now i'm actually a square lol.My measurements are almost all the same…

I'm 5'3", started Jan of 2012 at 212 pounds and currently weigh 162lb! 50lb loss!! My profile picture is from about 3 months ago. I am not good at uploading pictures but feel free to friend request me because i will be adding pictures to my profile soon!

It doesnt start till 7 so i know i can get dinner and my 64ox of water in for the day. i takes alot of willpower, that even i have…
