Nice, great job... :)

its pretty easy to get started this site is very user friendly, thank goodness. Start at my home and go from there. I am still learning only been here a short time. Welcome :)

Sounds like you have a great plan. I was not familiar with the items you mentioned but I looked it up. What every works for you, everyone is different. I believe that you should stick with what works for you. I went to various gyms in my area now I am back to the one I started with a few years ago where I lost the bulk of…

are you doing Atkins? When I did that I logged into Sugar Free Shiela's blog and bought her book of recipes... they were pretty good...

what an inspiration you look awesome :)

Vigorous Calisthenics I am usually good for 300 cal when I do a half hr.

Insurance will cover it as long as you have a paper trail at the doc saying its been a issue. I had my skin removed I had a panniculectomy done its different than a tummy tuck I have a scar that looks like a anchor from my breast bone down and then hip to hip. I don't regret it the scar reminds me of how far I have come,…

My reason is for my children and I.

I do the same.. I am a horrible emotional eater its something I have struggled with all my life and I am still trying to get a handle on it and some times easy to control and others its really difficult. Good luck to you if you would like support add me... I can totally relate. :/

Hello, great to see you on here. I am new to this but I am getting the support from everyone on here and it helps to see the posts as well. Good luck to you hope to see you on here daily

way to go... awesome job... Keep up the good work. Keep us posted on how your doing. :)

OMG thats burning... Thanks for sharing... this is why I am here to get tips and help. Thank you so much.

We make some traditional favorites. The last few years since most in our family are either diabetic or watching there weight we try to make them the least calorie as possible. Use splenda instead of sugar, use fat free where ever possible, low fat where ever possible so at least we don't have the thousands of calories that…

honestly can I say when I was born? I was brought up in a family that was morbidly obese. I was not taught the importance of eating the right foods or exercise. Thankfully since having my children I have tried to instill a better way of eating and exercise. I lose sight here and there of how important it is.

you look amazing what a transformation... Keep up the good work ;)

Add me about 2 yrs ago I lost 70 lbs, I have 35 to 40 lbs left to lose and its a constant struggle, this last 40 will just not move. I usually will lose a good 5 to 10 lbs then I stall and get frustrated. I have started again with diet and exercise and some determination but hopefully having some people in the same boat as…

yay awesome job.... :)

yay, congrats welcome back. Funny how we all get into a good routine and then we seem to think "ahhh I dont need to be consistent any more I can still manage" . I did that with exercising and I just need to do it and not think too much about it... Good luck to you.

triathlete I admire you for that, some day I would love to do that. I have a friend in Florida that does that and its just amazing to see it. I am some what new here but I am so tired of the yo yo dieting and exercise I am willing to do what needs to be done for life. Its very nice to meet you please add me as a friend if…

I felt this same way today but I went over my calories.:/. Try and try again. I did think " I should have worked out to balance the calories out" I need to exercise every day I think. I dont know I am just trying to figure this whole thing out as I go.

Hello my name is Robin , I am a mother of 3 girls ages 18,13, 6... the last one was a last ditch effort for a boy. No such luck. After having my babies my gram passed and it was time for me to be healthier for my girls or I would suffer the same ailments as she did. I lost 70 lbs and I was feeling great never been 160 in…

I feel your pain, I had soooo much skin. I had to have it removed, I am sure I was a extreme case though, once I lost around 70 lbs thats all I had in my abdominal area.

Im new and I am trying to get into a better habit of drinking water... Its so difficult, I really have to concentrate and make sure it gets done other wise I will drink only say 2 cups a day... its not my favorite thing to do.. :/

Congrats thats awesome keep up the good work. ;)

I am new here as well. Your story has some similarities to mine I lost around 70 lbs and hit a brick wall and could not move past it my body just did not want to do it I tried everything. I did not have the stamina to hold out till the scale moved. I got discouraged and gained 15 lbs I am now trying to get back on track.…

I am new on here as well. Lost a lot of weight a few years ago, I have gained about 15 back I need to stay consistent. I have 3 children as well. Good luck to you. I am not too familiar with this site, but it seems like there is a lot of good advice on here to stay motivated.

wow awesome job your a inspiration, I too have the kind of belly you HAD, bingo wings I am sure I have those too ;) There is hope for me. ;)

I did low carb as well lost the bulk of my weight, had a few stalls and there was one that I could just break so I changed to low fat and it broke it. I constantly rotated from low carb, low fat, and counting calories. Your body gets to use to the same old thing you need to change it up a bit occasionally. I was also told…
