You're incredible! I love this story!

You give me hope!

I STARTED AT 336. I'M NOT CLOSE TO GOAL, BUT I'M VERY CLOSE TO HALF WAY!

One up from the bottom

Thank you!!

Congrats first of all. Secondly, you can change your starting weight on MFP. I did! I wanted me ticker to be a true reflection!

Ok. I started with small commitments. I said- I'm going to Zumba 3 days a week until the end of the month. Then I said- I'll join Curves and see how it goes for the 1st month. Joining curves meant that I had to do weights and measures. I hated it but I'm glad I did it now. So, my first month of Curves I lost 10 lbs. I was…

YEP! My acne cleared, my dark circles and pores diminished, and I just feel a whole lot prettier!

I here you! :P

Hmmm. Well I made a good long list of these in January but I've forgotten them now. 1. Standing up between two rows of chairs that are close together. It sounds simple but when your belly is SO big it makes your have to lean back awkwardly. 2. Movies, Airplanes, Restaurant booths, Lawn furniture can now house my butt…

I started my journey using Zumba. I don't do it as much any more but I still love it. It is great for cardio and also for toning your core.

I'm five pounds away from losing a new born calf!

WHAT?!? Wow. You were cute before, now you're just down right sexy.

I started at 336. I was so happy to be under 300! Good for you! You look awesome!!

Thanks guys. I gave her this info. I appreciate it!

Well I would agree with you on that Steve. It is quite doable. I actually did the plan and run 4 miles a day several days a week... BUT I have a friend who tried the program and really just could NOT do it yet. She wants to get started but she wants an easier plan.

How about a balance ball and some resistance bands?

You've filled my inspiration quota for the day! Good for you!

WOW! You should be so proud! You look incredible.

Well, your workout plan seems reasonable enough but your weight loss goal is ridiculous. A good goal is measurable but it is also reasonable. Any more than 2 lbs a week is not reasonable. So basically you want to lose about 3x the healthy amount per week for 6 weeks. That is NOT okay for your body. Please be realistic. It…

I'm going to shamelessly bump this!

Nice!

I was here at this race!! Good for you! You may have noticed me because they put us embarrassingly at the very front of the race and recorded our take off with the girl from Biggest Loser. We had red shirts with our weight loss in sparkly numbers on the back!

The before pictures are on top. The bottoms are my after.

Worlds Largest Ball of Tape!!

Been trying to get pregnant for 4 years. Took a new medication this month, and I'm pretty sure it didn't work... all that money and time for nothing... On top of that I found out that a friend was pregnant. Super happy/Super jealous.

I hit the gym first thing most mornings. That always keeps me going till about 4.

You may have caused yourself some injury. I started exercising at 336 pounds and I had knee pain at first. Stairs were misery. When it got too bad I'd take a day off or I would do a workout that didn't cause the pain. As the weight came off that knee pain has almost completely gone away. Stairs can be a little dicey in the…

bang!!
