Count me in too! :)

Wow, that is awesome, you look great! :)

You look amazing! Very inspiring! :D

I've always lost weight more so because of my efforts in the gym then my diet. However this time around I have some knee problems that really limit my exercise options. This post really inspired me to realize that I can still lose a good amount of weight without working out. Thanks for sharing! :D

This is so awesome, thank so much for all the great ideas!!

Okay thanks, I think for now I will keep doing what I have started, and as things progress I might need to look closer at the other stuff. I agree, for me I need to make this a life long thing. That is why I haven't taken to eating any of the "diet" foods. I also want to do this for better health in general so I really…

So far I have only been paying attention to my calories. Should I put more attention on the other factors too, like carbs, fat, etc? I haven't been eating "diet" foods, but rather have been focused on eating more fruits and veggies, chicken instead of beef, that kind of thing.

I always thought that I was 5'8 but then at a doctors appointment the other day they wanted to measure me and they said I was only 5'7... somewhere along the way I lost an inch. Or all this time I've been giving myself an extra inch!

All these responses are great! Knowing it is possible just makes me all the more determined to do it!

Yes my starting weight last week was 260 and my goal weight is 164.

Those are both very inspiring stats!! I hope to be posting the same in a year! :D

Hey I asked this in another thread about tickers, but I think it's gotten overlooked, but how do you add a ticker to your posts? I can't seem to figure it out.

Cappri that is amazing!! You really have given me hope that I too can do it! Amy, that is just it. I want to still enjoy little treats here and there, just not the way I have in the past. ONE slice of pumpkin pie as apposed to the whole damn thing! Right?! LOL!

Thanks rjh that is very inspiring! I know I will have to work for it.

Thanks I am very determined! I have a lot to lose, about 96 pounds. I know I will feel great with even half that loss. Just wondering if I work my butt off (pun intended) if I can realistically hope to lose around 70 in a year.

<~~~~ newbie looking to be judged. LOL! How do you add your ticker to your posts?

If I don't do it right away I tend forget the little things.

Thanks for the adds, anyone else looking for friends please feel free to add me. I know I need others to help me do this and I am here to support others too!!

My three are all under the age of five. I do want to become a better example for them. I see them dipping everything in ranch and I know how terrible of an example I am becoming to them! I am a terrible cook, so fast food, or frozen meals are just too convenient. I am going to make an effort to cook more.
