I would be interested in seeing this too. I am 28 had one c-section and have approx 80lbs to lose. I too fear the "overhang" effect and it would be great to see women who were more on the heavier side who had c-sections who lost a lot of weight to see how the stomach reacted. I am realistic thinking there might still be a…

You can def see a difference! Great work, keep it up!!

I am 5'7 and my Dr wants me at around 130lbs which isn't even my goal weight. I would be just as happy around 160-170 if I can get there.

Way to go! Its amazing what losing 50lbs can look like!! You look so amazing! Very inspiring! Keep up the great work!!! You will get to your goal in no time :-)

You look so amazing! I love seeing inspiring stories like yours. Helps give me a boost and show me that yes, I can do it too! I am at the point where I refuse to have my picture taken and what kills me right now, is the lack of photos of me and my amazing son cause I don't want him to look back and see a fat unhappy mama…

A lot of people go in thinking its a quick fix but then realize it is in deed a lot of hard work and hard changes. I know when we went to the session we had a gentleman who sat in the front and said at the start "There is nothing that is going to stop me now! I am determined and will do whatever you tell me I need to do…

Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your amazing photos!

My b/f is having weight loss surgery as well. He will be meeting with his dietitian and social worker etc sometime in Feb! We went to the information session and my goodness, it was a huge eye opener even for myself. He will be joining me with my weight loss journey so that hopefully he is down a few lbs before his surgery…

Anyone can feel free to add me as well. I am at the start of my journey as well and we are similar. Since being with my b/f I have gained a lot! Then again, we were eating fast food all the time and just not doing anything active. Now we are both wanting to eat less and healthier and be more active. I can always use the…

I got two Just Dance games for the xbox! So excited to be able to play it!!!

I completely agree with Celeigh12. Attempting to reach that goal would be very difficult. It is always best to be realistic in setting your goals and always do it in a healthy and safe way. Your Aunty should be wanting you to lose weight in a healthy manner so you can enjoy the free honeymoon, though as I said, the goal is…

I am approx 230 and 5'7 and could use same pals in the same situation, or ones who been on this journey with advice! Motivation is needed always, feel free to add me as well

I don't think anyone here has a right to assume anything. If their relationship was fine up until the point she came out then clearly that would be where the issue is. Also, who is to say her mother (or parents, we dont know that situation either) paid for her schooling? I know LOTS of kids who pay their way through school…

Simply stunning! Thank you for sharing! I am currently approx the same as your before and fighting to get to your after! Thanks for the inspiration!

My goals are to lose approx 80lbs, that is not set in stone because I don't want to be "thin" I want to be lean. Curvy with lovely definition. Think more positively. I am seriously my own worst enemy and put myself down so much it gets hard to stay on track sometimes, esp with lack of support in the home. I want to learn…

You look amazing!! Keep your chin up be strong and keep going! Great inspirational story, just what I needed, so thank you!!

My motivation is def my son. I want to be around for him for a long time and I want to be able to do all the fun things with him without having to sit on the sidelines due to my weight getting in the way. Of course, better health is awesome too!!

Great inspiration! Thank you for sharing and congrats on the awesome weight loss and good luck on the rest of your journey!

Feel Free to add me too! I am still new here and don't have many pals yet, those I do are great but def can use the support and motivation!!

I am wanting to lose at least 80lbs but would love to lose at least 100lbs so I can secure myself in a healthy weight range. Feel free to add me anyone. :flowerforyou:

I am! :drinker: :laugh:

Maybe so for your first post but you keep coming back to keep adding your two cents in and making sure people feel stupid for asking this question, then making a total mock of it in a troll thread. Again, not what I would expect from a site that is supposed to be encouraging to others.

In other words, you and a few others cannot leave it as a simple no and feel the need to belittle people. I don't know why. This is supposed to be a place for people to go and feel encouraged, not make them feel stupid.

I tend to feel better when I have someone there to help me. When I wanted to start this journey, my b/f was supposed to be in it with me but lately he has be in his own little fantasy world thinking his weight is ok (350lbs and 5'9 is NOT ok) so I am finding it hard to stay with it since he is not on the weight loss train…

When she refers to cleaning, she isn't referring to light cleaning, she is moving furniture around, she is moving the fridge, stove, couches etc. She is scrubbing on her hands and knees cleaning. I think when she is doing this form of cleaning she is actually working out. She is using her muscles and probably getting a…

I also find gals can def be way more critical on each other as well. If it works for you and you know and understand the health risk that go with those kinds of diets, then have at it! Good luck! Losing weight is hard enough on its own without adding the silly comments of others who don't want to encourage you, instead…

If it gets your heart going and you are sweating, I would def count it as an activity. Heavy cleaning is a lot of work and takes a lot of energy. An activity that can burn 313 cals in one hr I think is worthy of logging, but that is just me :-)

Hey! My name is Nicole, I am a mother of a 4 yr old boy and I live in Ontario, Canada! My goal for weight loss by the end of 2013 is to lose 80lbs approx. Not so focused on the weight, but I want to get to a healthy weight and be able to do all those fun things every mom wants to do with their kids! I don't want to be that…

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will def give them a chance and see what works best for me!

Wow, way to go, this is very inspirational! Great motivation for those of us who have a lot to lose and think it cannot be done, you are proof it can, and thank you so much for sharing it with us and proving we CAN do it!!
