I also have hypothyroidism. I have had it since I was about 14, but wasn't diagnosed until a slew of medical tests to find out why I had 6 miscarriages. I have never been small, but I ballooned up to over 270 pounds. I got serious with my calorie intake in August and have logged religiously since then and I am down 66…

Originally, I thought I would reward myself with new clothes, not considering that it would be an actual necessity. I am down 66 pounds now, but still have about 70 to go for my goal. I am so unsure of what my reward should be. I would love to take a trip to Ireland, but I also do not want to strain my family finances with…

I've had several mini goals along the way. My current one is to see 199 on the scale. I am 13 pounds away, with a total loss of 66.8

SW: 278 CW: 212 GW: 145 Pounds to go: 13!

This is almost my story exactly! I have been overweight my whole life and was 278 at my highest. SW: 278 CW: 217 GW: 145 Congratulations on your smashing success. I hope to join you soon!

Thank everyone. I thought my diary was public, but I guess it was to friends. It is now public, so feel free to look and suggest!

Thanks. I am still very far from a healthy weight. I need to lose another 60 pounds.

We just got an xbox 360 with Kinect and a ton of kinect games. They are a lot of fun and some of them definitely get my heart racing. I am doing The Biggest Loser workout one, which is not all that intense. However, last night we were playing Wipeout and I was SWEATING! Just Dance is a fairly decent workout as well.

I still have a loooong way to go, but I feel like I am a success story already. Down 62 pounds since August Was size 22, now wearing size 14

Wearing size 14 jeans. Was a size 22 in August.

Wearing a pair of size 14 jeans today. When I started in August, I was size 22. I don't think I've worn size 14 since middle school and I'm 38.

Still a long way to go, but 62 pound difference between July to December.

I bought a pair of jeans from the size 20 rack when Target left Canada two years ago. When I got home I realized they were size 16, so I threw them in the closet. Started counting calories on Aug 2 and was up to size 22. Put said jeans on and couldn't get them over my thighs. Tried again September first and could get them…

I think there are some Tim Hortons in the US, but they are on every corner here. Timmie's is as Canadian as hockey and poutine.

After all this talk about donuts, I kind of want one. I have never been to a Krispy Kreme or a Dunkin Donuts. I live in Canada, so we basically have Tim Hortons and I think their donuts suck, so will probably not have one after all.
