I have lost 122 pounds so far. 34% of my body weight. By the time I'm done, I will truly be half the man I used to be. I have stretch marks galore, on my arms and stomach, but whateves. Skin seems to be laying on my body fairly normal. Won't know if I'll need surgury for that. Congrats on losing so much.

Who gives a F what others think at the gym? You are there for you, not these other dudes. This is something you are going to have to overcome. I went through it, and got over it. You can too.

This is a lifelong change, to look at how you treat your body, and what you decide to give it. If you lost it once, you can do it again, but you can't just stop what you did to lose the weight. Maintaining a healthy weight is also something that requires daily monitoring of what you eat. I say, just get motivated to change…

I have worked my assets off lifting in the gym over the past year and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. #gymrat. Yes, I want to look sehxy when I'm done. I'll trade in gluttony for vanity any day.

When I first started running, I could barely run at 4.0MPH for 2 minutes before getting winded. My legs were sore as heck in the beginning, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.

I ate junk food, and lost weight, as long as my junk food was eaten in moderation.

<3 this. It just goes to show you the scale doesn't always mean anything. You look great.

I look forward to posting in this thread one day. I'm 2/3rds done. Everyone who has posted, you're all doing great.

I hear you. I live in Brandon, FL, and recently, I noticed my bar activity was getting too frequent, and my weight loss was not so frequent as a result. It's tough to find a balance between the party lifestyle, and the healthy lifestyle. Had to take a break from the bar scene.

Romance can be found here. Congrats on your gain.

I weigh in the buff at home. Doesn't get more accurate than that. If you're going to weight in clothes, try to make it the same outfit if you can.

Some days I choose to eat more. It doesn't happen very often. May be once a month. I don't consider it cheating though. I eat what I want.

I found a gym membership for 10 bucks a month. You either want to do it or not. You may not see muscle definition because of your body fat level, but you will get stronger. Eventually, as you cut the fat, you will see definition. You're going to need some weights to strength train. If you can't afford the weights (like…

Yay! and I'm not talking because it's exposing a breast. Breastfeeding is a natural human thing. Babies need fed. For Florida, you can even print out cards that provide the law if someone decides to get up on your biz about it. http://www.flbreastfeeding.org/HTMLobj-916/Right_to_Breastfed_in_Public.pdf

LMFAO I totally know that feeling. Yep. I wish I wasn't working. Time to get pumped up!!!

Amen to that brutha. I love a companion.. I don't pay though. :)

I'm 5'11"... Oh wait... I'm a man. :)

It's tough to beat my 20 and 24th year. They were both off the charts. Those years were also the years I decided to work on myself. Looking forward to 34 moving forward to top them.

If you're up to the challenge. :) Feel free to add me.

Women who made fun of you for your weight are now suddenly hitting on you.

I seem to have binge days here and there. They are far less often then before I came to MFP. Hang in there. It's tough, I know.

This is a tough decision. They all are great episodes. I'd have to say that Our Mrs Reynolds was my favorite. Funny how the captain never got it when the companion passed out too. :)

Because if I'm going to go dancing, I'm going to a night club. :)

I just ran a mile in 9:51. Been running, cycling, and strength training for the past 14 months though. Only thing holding me back from faster times is my current weight.

That's impossible. Trolololol lol lol llol

More like 15-18 pounds, max.

33 years old. 120 down, 357 to 235. I'm deathly afraid of loose skin. I can see it happening. Don't know how bad the damage will be till I get around 180-185.

Thanks. :)

Holy moly! Look at all that soda in the Mexico picture. Notice the extra weight as well.

Not too skinny at all. It looks like she works out for sure. You don't get definition like that by not working out.
