Did you have to have surgery to get your stomach that great or did your skin bounce back? I started at about 300, and I'm at 267 now (I was at 247 but somehow gained weight back :neutral: ) anyway, I'm 5'9 and have worried about the loose skin. Great job. you look AMAZING.

I do Tabata bootcamp in the morning, and at night I do either running or walking for an hour. I also do yoga two times a week instead of the walking/running :)

I actually have been adding a lot of sunflower seeds to my diet :) I can't do dairy because it really messes with my stomach. I tried to avoid avocados because of the carbs, I think I just need to get over that because they have a ton of nutrients!

Lol well, I weigh A LOT. A friend of mine who weighs about 100 lbs less burns significantly less than I do. We have the same HRM as well and we always do the workout together and then compare :)

It depends on how much you weigh and what your heart rate is. I burn about 600-700 calories during my hour bootcamp class, then I walk or run at night and burn more. When I walk at a brisk pace for an hour I burn about 500 calories, when I run I easily burn 1000 calories in an hour. I'm very heavy and my heart rate gets…

i love DDP yoga, Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, PiYo, Biggest Loser, T 25.. tons of good dvds.

A doctor prescribed it to me and I really wasn't that interested but I tried it anyway. My fiance always knew when I took one because I became VERY bitchy, didn't sleep, didn't eat, hated everything and everyone, and normally i'm very happy and bubbly. I hated the way I felt. I took it for like 3 days and then I only used…

You may be able to lose weight- but you still have to be careful. My dad gave up ALL processed sugar and became diabetic because of all the fruit he consumed, because he too was told he could eat all the fruit he wanted.

Thanks guys! your support really does mean a lot to me! :) I am so happy to inspire others the way that i've been inspired! I have been reading Chris Powell's "choose to lose" and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling mentally!

I'm so glad that I can inspire others to do better. Lord knows I really needed inspiration over the last year. Admitting to having a very unhealthy relationship with the scale was so extremely hard. I denied it for so long. My fiancé took it away at one time, but instead of continuing to eat healthy and exercise, I stopped…

Thanks ma'am! I do the elliptical 4 days a week for 40 minutes and 2 days a week for 65 minutes :) I also do all of the leg workouts you mentioned, plus some. I do a lot of weights. I love it. I think it's just going to take time to see definition. :)

Lol thats sweet. Thank you :) But I would really like to show off my runner legs ;) lol You know-show off my hard work a little :)

Thank you! I usually do 4 sets of 12 on weights, but I'll try upping the weight and doing maybe 5x8 instead of 4x12. For my cardio I either jog or do the elliptical. Since I injured my ankle, Ive been doing the elliptical more just to take the pressure off. But I will get back to running more soon I think. :)

My legs are in no way something that people would be jealous of lol. the muscle is a nice size, but theres absolutely no definition. They just look "fat" lol but yes, you guys are right. Just appreciate them, love them for what they do, and i bet eventually they'll slim up. I guess if I am honest, they do have a little fat…

Thank you all. My fiancé actually really helped me kick the scale to the curb. He saw my low calories, how tired I was, and how sad I would get after weighing. I thought he was being mean about it until one day I realized that he was just worried with the mental state i was in with my weight loss journey. Things are so…

Lol! Thank you. I definitely still like a good cheeseburger though. ha

Awesome legs!

Thanks for the responses guys! I am definitely going to keep working, but upon talking to some family--- it seems that it may be genetic. lol. Thats okay, eventually, they have to shape up.....right?! :)

For the first half of the year all I did was run. Then about six months ago I started lifting a little bit here and there... Honestly though, the middle and last picture is just MAYBE a month apart. I started lifting 6 days a week. I alternated arms and legs each day while still doing my cardio as well. I love lifting. My…

I would LOVE to just appreciate them. lol Mentally, I appreciate what they do for me...but I would also like to wear a dress and look nice in it. lol Right now I wear a dress and I just look like I need to lay off the cheeseburgers and go for a run...BUT I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A YEAR! lol

Thanks ma'am! I knew if i wanted to get healthier physically, I needed to get healthier mentally as well! :)

Never mind. I give up. lol. Long story short...my face isn't as fat as it once was :)

Keep in mind BMI charts aren't completely accurate. Lose whatever it takes to be comfortable in your own skin. No one else matters.

Likes wine ;)

Can you speak ENGLISH? Here the truth, or HEAR the truth? to TOLD WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR? lord.

My fiance doesn't really try to tell me what to wear. However, sometimes he will let me know what he thinks if I ask. I do value his opinion, though. If he doesn't want me showing my "goods" for all to see, I do respect that. People are different though. I respect his opinion, but he doesn't tell me what to do, what to…

Nope. No bread, carrots, tomatoes. I buy some turkey meat with >1 gram of sugar, but thats about it. I love sweets unfortunately, but its addictive and not worth it.

Nothing is perfect... if 4 or 5 calories on each entry is going to get to you that badly, you may want to start putting your food in manually and using your own entries.

I don't consume anything with sugar.. Not even ketchup. No sugar....not even fruit. But whatever works for you! :D
