We drove 24 hrs down Texas and we packed apples, clementines, granola, crackers and brought stuff to make healthy sandwiches.

Way to freaking go homie! You are looking awesome!!! If you can do this for 8 weeks, you can totally do it for 8 more... and then 8 more ... and then forever!

Even the tiniest of people have those days. You have accomplished so much in such a short time. Try to focus on that. I find that getting a good workout in when I feel like this really helps bring me out of the slump. Best of luck!

I'm not at maintenance level yet but from what I have read, you kind of have to ease yourself into it. It seems as though you made a big jump in calories over a few weeks and your body just wasnt used to it. I would have started by adding an extra 100 cals a week until you were ready for the full amount.

I completely agree with beattie1. Another things to remember is that this HAS to be a lifestyle change if you want to keep the weight off for the long run. You don't want to think of it as sticking with a diet becuase you will just end up going back to old habits. Just try to think of it as improving your health by doing…

It is one of my fav sites at the moment! They also have a video of their grocery haul which was quite impressive

If you are here to improve your life, I wouldn't waste my breath on proving anything to anyone. Just take advantage of the guidance and information. Best of luck to you and your endeavors.

I mostly do at home workouts (I play soccer once a week in addition to that). I don't have a gym membership. Some of the websites I find are useful are fitness blender, dailyhiit, fitsugar and blogilates.

Right now my bra of choice is the dryfit compression bras from nike. They are usually around $30.

Thank you all so much!

A: 26 SW: 228 (July 2012) CW: 177 GW: not sure yet Height: 5'2"

I've been on MFP since July 2012. I work out around 5 times a week (depends on my schedule). Age: 26 Height: 5'2 SW: 228 CW: 177 GW: not quite sure yet I would love to have some more friends who would like to share their struggles and successes.

I agree with the polar like the PP mentioned. I bought it for under 100 bucks and it has been one of the best investments I have made!

I'm 5'2 and started at about 228 about 10 months ago. I am currently at 178. My goal weight is somewhere around 130, but we will see as I get closer to that. My routine is kind of sporadic to be honest. I started doing the elliptical for 30 minutes. Then I did it for 60 minutes. Now a days I mix it up every week. I have a…

KW area!

Thank you very much. I will look into the book.

Congrats! You look amazing! May I ask how long it took you to reach your goal?

I am currently at 201 (5'2) but started at 228 in July. I started just lowering my caloric intake. Then I started doing the elliptical for 20 min and worked my way up to 1 hr. About three weeks ago, I began doing the 30 day shred.

I started at 228 at the end of July 2012 and am currently at 203. I'm always looking for extra support and motivation. Feel free to add!

Seriously amazing!!! Congrats!

WOW!!! Thank you guys so much for your suggestions. Walking is something I could do with him after work so that sounds like a plan. For those who have mentioned weights, does anyone have an idea of how heavy and what kind of moves?

Thank you for your suggestions!!! I love the grape leafs!
