Whole wheat pasta..uugh, I don't know how people eat that stuff! It's like dry cardboard. I just eat regular pasta noodles and don't have it too often.

Congratulations! You are a big inspiration to me. I am in the same boat as you. Started around the same time (8/2012) and have been a very slow loser. I've lost 36 pounds but most of it was from Aug 2012-Dec 2012. It's been very hard to lose from Jan-May. I had a 6 week period were I lost nothing even though I was training…

5'9.5" SW: 254.5 CW: 219 GW: 160

I'm 5'10" and currently weigh 222.5 lbs. I started at 254 last summer. My goal is 160 lbs. I'd be really interested in keeping up with this thread as well.

I love this post/comment!! I am the same way. I have done many races including 5K, 8K, 10K and 1/2 marathons and I'm always wondering if the skinnies are like "what the hell is she doing running? She's way too fat!" They can bite me..ha, ha.

Me too! It's a revelation..ha, ha. I thought I was the only one. It only happens in my right foot though. I try to move my foot around while I'm on it and try not to fall off. It usually helps a little but now I just deal with it. I go for about 45-60 minutes. I can't really get off it and wiggle because the ellipticals at…

"Sara" by Starship and "Sara" Fleetwood Mac. I love the Fleetwood Mac song! It's such a pretty tune.

I concur!! I was just about to post U2 but you beat me to it.

I weighed 254.5 at my heaviest and I'm 5'10". When I got below 230 which was in Feb-13, I started walking/jogging more. I surprised myself one day by jogging 10 minutes straight. I guess there was just some built up energy that day. But that motivated me to do more running/jog. I'll admit I'm still nervous I'm going to…

Ha, ha...me too!! Sometimes I am so exhausted but keep pushing myself to "run/jog." I wonder if doing a brisk walk would actually be faster than my jog! LOL

Hi Robin, I have approx 70 more lbs to lose. I've lost about 28 so far, so that equals 100. :) I'll admit I'm slow and steady; no quick weight loss for me. I'm in it for the long haul. I've been sticking with it since Sept 2012. I lost about 23 pounds between Sept-Dec. I took a break from xmas thru mid-Feb when my friends…

Wow! Awesome job!! I wish I looked that good at 221 and I'm same height as you. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Wow! That is amazing. I hope to look that great and have a flat tummy like that one day.

Just saw your ticker...100 lbs lost? Congrats! You look great from your pic. I'm down almost 30..I keep fluctuating between 27-30 the past 2 months. Hence, I'm plateauing. The funny thing is I lost most of the weight between Aug-12-Dec-12 with diet and NO exercise. Now I'm working out 4-5 x's per week and doing at least an…

Honestly, I think it's all relative. I use to be a big soda drinker, so I switched to diet soda. I hate plain water so just going from regular to soda wouldn't and didn't work for me. Is diet soda good for you? No, it has artificial sweetners but at least it's better than guzzling 150 calories and tons of sugar. I then…

Congratulations! This is a big inspiration for me. I love to see before and after pics like this because it's shows that it can be done. I have one question: did your stomach skin bounce right back? I'm 30 lbs down but still have more to go. I'm nervous about the loose skin thing around the lower belly. I've never had…
