I have done this!! I have also found myself writing down EXACTLY what I am eating and how much so I don't forget. I was completely obsessed. I am doing my best now to get back on track with a new normal, but like I said, it has been hard. (and thank youfor your nice words)

I lost 46 kilos in 8 months. I think that what you are wanting is possible. I think it will take a lot of dedication and you will have to stick with it through good days and bad. Just remember that once you pass midnight it is a new day, no matter what happened the day before. You can do it.

It would always really bug me when people would tell me that it was ok that I gained weight because I was pregnant. I would usually just smile and internally cringe. And, no, I could not imagine my self at 149. (I am 145 now) When I was 250, 150 seemed like it would take forever. But, I was determined! You can do it too!

My original goal was to get to 150, but I didn't really have a reason. I just picked that number because it sounded good. Once I hit it, I decided to go lower as well. Now my goal is 135, but I have a lot less tunnel vision. I am still focused, but not as hard on myself anymore. Good luck to you!

Thank you for saying this. It really was a big deal for me to 1. wear a bathing suit in public with out shorts or a t-shirt over it and 2. ASK for my picture to be taken in it. :noway:

Thank you!! I agree, my boys are very much cuties!!:smile: (and they are my inspiration to stay healthy!)

I am actually struggling to switch over to maintaining. I am still working out almost every day. It is just a habit now. I am eating a little bit more than I did, but not much. I am still losing a little, but it is a difficult transition for me.

Maybe it is because you are not a morning running person. I run much better after I have been up for a little bit. I get up at about 0400 and I don't run until about 0500. I need to wake up first or I just don't have the energy.

That is amazing!! I am inspired by you!! You look so much younger in your after pictures :smile:

I put myself on FEP after I had my first son, but it didn't help me very much. I still ate horrible. I know what you mean about commands not pushing very hard. On my last boat, our division's PT was a joke, and that was when we even had PT.

You made me smile real big! Thanks man :)

I swear my eyes are jacked up. I wish my brain would get trained faster. Or maybe it's good I see myself still fat. I will keep the exercise going.

Um, I don't know about this. I run about 5 or 6 miles every day.

I have not read the others... My biggest tip for starting to run is: DON"T STOP WHEN IT GET HARD! I don't mean don't stop during an individual workout, I mean over all. It seriously took me about 5 or 6 MONTHS to get use to running consistantly and to eventually like it. Now I run every morning. I would always run for…

This! What is the point of decaf? Crazy people. Coffee is the one thing that I absolutely refuse to change with my new way of eating. I drink it every morning and I always add REAL sugar and coffeemate creamer. It keeps me sane. (oh, and I have also lost over 100lbs not changing my coffee intake.) I already know that my…

I agree with this. Unless they left a message that was particularly mean about why they deleted them, it could be something like this. If you are getting over an issue, it might be necessary to not be around someone that is still going through it. Just a thought. Although, if that were the case, they could have left a…

My blog of my whole story is in my signature. It details me losing 102 pounds in 8 months with pictures. Feel free to read if you like.:happy:

The difference is really noticible in your chin. You do look great!

Once I crossed over the 100 pounds lost, I tell everybody that asks. I worked REALLY hard and I am very proud of the amount I have lost. I don't exactly go up to people and open a conversation with, "Hi, I use to weigh 251lbs, but I lost 106 of it." However, I get stopped all the time and most ask me what I have been doing…

Restaurant salads can be some of the worst things on the menu. Maybe ask for the nutritional guide when you go to out to eat and see. When I go to restaurants I always order what ever I want and ask for a to go box to be brought out with my food. Then, I put a proper portion on my plate and the rest in the to go box.

:happy: COFFEE FANATIC HERE!! :happy: I have coffee every morning. I alternate between Starbucks breakfast blend and Foldgers breakfast blend. I don't go to the starbuck's store, I buy the 1lb bag in the grocery store and make it at home. I use CoffeeMate Creamer. I usually get the French Vanilla or the Creamy Chocolate. I…

That is awesome! It is great motivation to keep going isn't it! I remember the 1st time I sized down my rings. It was the best feeling.:bigsmile:

I think once you go through the process of giving birth with a person, there really aren't any more secrets about the female body. (and my husband and I have gone through it twice.) Yes, my husband knows exactly how much I weigh. He did when I was 250lbs as well. He doesn't care. He is happy for me now though because I am…

I would think it would depend. I burned 7573 calories in one day when I climbed Mt. Fuji. It was a 14 hr ordeal and it was rediculous. I would say that it would not be healthy to do something like that on a daily basis. However, if you have a normal 1 - 2 hr workout routine every day or a few days a week, I think you can't…

Both of the ladies tasted all 3 of the drinks. They both said that all of them tasted good. I really think that if I knew how many calories were in it before hand I wouldn't mentally allow myself to like it. I would be thinking, "ok, I had one micro-sip of that....so...that would be about 350 calories....I am going to need…

All of the ads that everyone sees on there own individual computers are based on what you as an indivdual look up on your own computer. We do not all see the same thing. What ever you are seeing is because you looked at it and it is in your computer's memory. I live in Japan and all my ads are in Kanji (Japanese Alphabet).…

I eat 3 meals a day. I wouldn's classify them as "large", just 3 normal meals a day. I hardly ever snack. I am rarely hungry. I eat the majority of my calories, rarely go over. I have done this for about 10 months now and I have lost a lot of weight. This is what works for me.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT IN THE TITLE!! Some of us live in other countries and the results show has not aired yet. Thanks for ruining it for me. Jeez.... You could have put "spoiler" or something.

I was 251 and I am now 145! My original main goal was 150 and I have passed that. I changed my goal to 135. My blog is in my signature and it has several before and after pictures of me. Good Luck!!
