I like to pursue and be pursued....

I live in Florida and found a gym where it's mostly older people, and less hulky guys walking around slamming weights. It's just more mature. Maybe go on a tour of a few different gyms in your area. I also joined a Curves once years ago and had an excellent experience there, I only left because I became pregnant with my…

Ideally I should lose about 100 lbs at this point, I'm down 15, and looking to lose another 10, then reevaluate my goals. If anyone needs a friend on here, or some encouragement and can offer the same I'd love to have more friends on here =)

I'm 5'2" and want to get to 200, then readjust my goal from there. I'd like to be 180 to 160. Then readjust from there.

What a transformation from the first to the last pic. You look great! And look very happy! Congrats, and go get those 44 more pounds!! =)

There's something called a pedal exerciser. It's an under the desk little foot pedal bike type thing. I friend has one, I'd like to invest. They're about 40 bucks. May be a good option.

You look great! Thank you for sharing!

You look great! Thank you for sharing. Your pics are a great inspiriation.

You look so much younger! Your face especially! Great job! Go get some new jeans!! ;)

Wow you two look like a completely different couple. Congrats on doing it together, I'm sure that support really helps.

My stomach is covered in stretch marks and kind of saggy skin. Also when I eat I seem to bloat more in my stomach than before.

There's a small bike type thing you can put under your desk and do seated exercise, google pedal exerciser. It's a great way to keep active even while at your desk. I think 600 calories a day is way too low, hopefully incorporating some light exercise in your work day would help you feel better about eating more. Good luck!

Hi Jaime, I'm Ashley I've got about 100 lbs to lose but have set my sights on 50 for the time being. I'd love to be friends on MFP and help motivate each other!

I cant wait for the day where the scale is under the 200 mark when I stand on it. Congratulations!!

You look great! Thank you for sharing!

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing, you give me hope!

What a big change! Cant wait to see the next step in your adventure! Keep it up =)

I have a lot of weight to lose and have lost between 10 and 15 lbs depending on when I weigh myself. I cant see a difference, but have had a few people say I look a bit thinner. I can say that while I dont see it and the scale isnt showing a dramatic difference at this point, my pants are loser, my muffin top is almost…

MFP has me eating about a third of what I was eating before I started looking at my calories. There are days where I'm like...want to eat, want to chew, and exercising allows me to do it and still stay within my calorie range. It's a balance. It works for me.

Congrats, you look great =)

I've finally kicked my bald eagle!! Yes Yes!!! This made me laugh. Thanks for sharing!

Holy cow!! You look great! Thanks for sharing!

When my son was that age I took him on walks religiously, he would nap yay because he wasn't easy to get to take a nap, and I got exercise. I know it's not an extreme work out but you can do some levels of speed walking. Also if there are any parks or playgrounds, even mall playgrounds you may be able to go there and meet…

You can tell you went from soft to superman from the picture with the baby to the others. You look great! Thanks for sharing!

That's a very ambitious trail to have done especially with kids in tow. If you want to see the rest of it try starting from the opposite end next time! I'm impressed. Camping.....if I saw so much as a bug I would have called the police. I think you accomplished a lot!

You look great! Thanks for sharing! =)

I'm turning 29 still but I feel like I'm 16....how does that work;)

That's awesome! Can I ask what kind of workouts are you doing? I've been dieting for two months and have lost a little over 10 lbs. I work out 5 days a week for 30 minutes to 2 hours a day. So, I'm curious to know what you're doing to reach your success. Thanks for posting! Good luck with the last 10!

Someone posted a pintrest pic from Martha Stuarts website today, it was a stuffed squash with beans, garnished with guac....and I thought wait that's healthy. Hmm...sometimes cooking websites give you inspiration, especially for me in the vegetable department.

Start slow and work your way up. Walking or any kind of exercise that gets your heart going is good. =) Good luck!
