First, KEEP GOING! I finished the program last week and I feel awesome. Your wait is not a problem. I started at 285 and I finished it without repeating a week. Let me tell you though, that if you're experiencing pain that gets to the point that it is difficult to run, you need to rest until it stops hurting. You will be…

Totally!!! You'll need a new top very soon!

Yes! I was at a gathering the other weekend at my grandmothers house. I hadn't had breakfast and I grabbed a pack of peanut butter crackers from the cabinet. My mom started bragging about the amount of weight a lost, and one of the women looked at me and said, "Wait, you've lost all that weight and you're eating that? That…

Firstly, give yourself a little break. You just had a baby! It is okay that you're starting out, it isn't okay to be complacent. I know what it is like not to fit in a roller coaster seat. At 336 pounds I wanted to go to amusement parks so badly, but avoided them like the plague. At 235 pounds I went to 6 Flags with a…

Awesome. I wouldn't even recognize you as the same guy!! Way to go!

You look so great!

You good! Yeah, I'd guess you were like 5 or 6 years younger in the skinny pic.

Finished the program last week! I love it. It has completely transformed my body!

In the 7 months I've been dieting I haven't felt that way. That is why this time has been different for me. The way I see it is this was something I have to do . I didn't and still don't have a choice if I want this new life... and I REALLY want it. Start with small goals and small changes and build on those. Celebrate the…

Oh I understand this!!! My nephew (3) walked in the the bathroom while I was in the tub one night and said, "Oh you are way too big for that tub." I was hurt until he explained that he meant my legs were too long for it. I also vividly remember one of my young preschool students asking me why I had a butt in the front (see…

Being married for 5 years really makes you aware of the importance of sex in a relationship. It isn't just about denying yourself simple pleasures, but rather insight in to how well you relate to your partner. I know that when our sex life dwindles so does our relationship. If we didn't have that sexual compatibility we…

BIG difference in your face especially. You look so happy and healthy!

Biggest difference is in your chest. It looks fantastic!

Wow. You still look great!

I'm 28 3 pounds from taking a new pic for 80 lbs down!!

Ok. I'm so glad I'm not alone. Here I was feeling guilty for weighing everyday. I just broke myself from the habit of weight 3-4 times a day 2 weeks ago. THAT helps me quite a bit.

I was so happy to see this. I hope that I'm posting a similar story next month. I have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I don't have enough solid symptoms to confirm PCOS. I have taken clomid for 2 rounds with no success last year at 336 pounds. I'm almost done taking my first round of femera. I've heard…

Ran my first 5k this week using c25k!! I have lost lots of inches since I started running the bigger lengths of time.

Yeah, your booty looks GOOD!

Wow! You're so inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story!

I've been dieting for 7 months today, and have lost a little over 10 lbs a month. At first, I was pretty obsessive about eating a specific set of foods and never straying. Since then I realized that as long as I stay within my daily caloric intake, and I continue my workout that I still lose consistently. I suppose I've…

All of this! I used the C25K program and ran my first 5k this morning. AND After your five minute warm up. Stop and stretch. Stretching cold can damage muscles more. I will bend over and put my palms flat on the ground, I lunge forward and side to side. The best one for my issues was a butterfly stretch. You put the soles…

My head just pours... it looks like I'm crying! Also, the front of my neck and my lower back get pretty soaked.

You look great and I love the mohawk.

Wow!! That is just awesome!! I bet all that dancing and celebratory dancing will put you at 160 pounds lost in no time!

Awesome! I'm at 262 lbs on week 8 of c25k. I really love it. At first I was shy and a little self conscious but I've gotten to the point now that I don't care at all what others think because I know I can do something that the majority of people can't. I don't know a whole lot of people who start their days with a 3 mile…

WELL.... I'm not slim but I am definitely getting the point that I can see I'm comfortable with my size. When i started all this I was 336 pounds. I've lost 73 pounds now, and I'm a bit of a gym rat. I talk about it because it is who I am. I always have a progress picture on my phone, and I'm not ashamed. It was freaking…

LOOKS LIKE YOUR TUMMY IS JUST GOING TO TUCK RIGHT UP REALLY NICELY!! AWESOME JOB.

Wow that is amazing!!

Well for 100 pounds I'm going to do one of those Dance Like No one's Watching videos. For "one"derland I'm taking those sexy boudoir photos.
