Awesome, thanks for the replies!! I don't have to be seated, I just can't be doing jumping jacks or anything like that with a ton of jumping or walking around.

Thank You all so much!! GREAT advice and it's nice to know I am not the only one who struggles with this :) It's mainly when my kids are acting up that I really get stressed and just want to pull my hair out!! Now that they are finally napping and chilled out is when I would normally relax with a bunch of oreos or brownies…

My first goal is just to get under 200, I have a long way to go. Then I'll just go by how I feel and how fit I am, I don't think I have an ultimate goal weight, maybe 160-175?

Amazing!!! I'm so motivated to continue now!

Great job!!! My starting weight is close to yours and I hope to be as successful as you! WTG, you look wonderful!

WOW!!! You look amazing! I'm truly inspired! :)

love this idea!!! I am ok with getting my workouts in, but the hardest thing for me is sticking to my eating plan. I am so going to do this, thanks!!

Swimming! I have some calf pains and can do certain exercises, but I have pain after about 10 minutes, I can swim for hours with no pain. I also go to a water aerobics class and several of the ladies in the class use a cane or have pains, but no pain in the water! You should try it! Congrats on your weight loss!!

Thanks for the tips!! You all are right to focus on teh small and imminent goals but it's just so daunting, even when I lose 100 pounds I'll be huge! I've been just over the 300's since I was in the teens and then after having my 2 kids I was around the 340's in 2010. Which is bad enough on its own. But then I had some…

bump :) nobody?

Great job!!! You look awesome!

Thank You!!! You look AMAZING! Very motivating for me!!

I go to Whittier Law School in California :)

My kids are 4 and 1. Right now over the summer I'm staying home with them so I take them to the gym daycare, they really enjoy it and have fun. Not sure what I will do once fall comes though, maybe try to go early in the morning.

Great job! I can definitely see a difference!

I do, yeah :( I've always been big, I was just over 300 in my teens. I had my first child when I was 18 and went up to 380 while pregnant with her. I got down to the 320's by the time she was 2, but then I got pregnant with my son. After I had him I lost my pregnancy weight and was around the 340's. But then for medical…

thanks, so do you known if there is a max limit i should stick to for either?

Great job!!! I can definitely see the difference!

LOL, yeah I am 5'10" so in my head I rationalize it away even though I KNOW at my weight and size there is no such thing as carrying it well!! I don't currently have access to a pool, but that is a great idea I will definitely keep that in mind and try! Thank you! And BTW I am so impressed with your 66lb lost that is…

Wow!!! Great job! You've motivated me for today lol.
