Fantastic! You are such an inspiration. We started around the same time - although I still have about 25 lbs. to go to get to my goal. These last few lbs are tough - but I hope to stick t out until I get there. Success stories like yours help a lot with my motivation - Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder that losing 100 or more lbs takes time and that it did not go on overnight... You are such an inspiration. I am currently stalled in my weight loss. I've been at it for over a year and a half - but am trying to stick with it - and won't give up. I just need to read success stories like yours to try…

Congratulations!! Losing that amount of weight takes time and motivation but most of all we need the determination to keep at it! I know how hard it is and I'm only 3/4 of the way there... Hearing from people like you who have reached their goal provides me with the motivation to keep going (and I am currently at a "stall"…

Wow! What a great accomplishment! Keep up the good work - you are almost at your goal. You look terrific!

Incredible! You are such an inspiration. I've had a hard time lately losing weight because I can't exercise while I wait for surgery. I was worried about gaining when I come home... but now I know it can be done - thanks so much!!
-
I'm so glad you are with us. You've done an amazing job! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration for many.

It is these everyday actions that let us know we are being successful! The NSVs really count. I was so very happy the day I was able to cross my legs!! Every time I do it, I'm sure I smile - and it inspires me to keep heading toward my goal and not put the weight back on!
-
WOW! You look great. That is wonderful progress in such a short time. Congrats. I'm sure if you keep going with what you are doing - you won't need the surgery - you will have already lost so much weight you won't need it!
-
Congratulations on meeting your goal! You both look terrific. My husband and I are also losing the weight together. It helps when you have the support and encouragement. He started several months after me but joined in when he saw my success and I wasn't buying all the "treats" I was before! I wish your husband all the…

WOW! You both look great, and so happy. It is wonderful to have the support of your loved ones as you make this journey. You are both so lucky!

I would join. When I started MFP I was considered obese III. After losing 61 pounds I am down to obese I and feeling much better. I still have a long way to go but making progress. I would love support and encouragement to keep on track and hope to help inspire others. For anyone who wants to see the BMI definitions etc.,…

Don't feel bad about going over your calorie allotment for the first few days. It takes a while to get the hang of what you can eat and what to avoid. Plus, it will be hard until you have what you like and and can eat in your house. The first day I started I was about 800 calories over, the second day was slightly better,…

What a great question! I have been wondering this myself. My goal is to lose 100 lbs. I am just over the half way mark. When I do reach my goal (NOT IF - but WHEN!!) I'm thinking about spending money on a really well made outfit, maybe a designer label. I've never been able to wear anything really nice before because they…

Your starting weight for August: 174 Your personal goal for August: 170 Your personal self-challenge for August: To maintain my weight while I'm on vacation for a week during the middle of August.

Thank you for sharing your story. You are so brave! Congrats for making it half way to your goal. I know what a hard journey it is but doesn't it fell great to be half way to the finish line? We will all be cheering for you come October - we know you can do it!!
-
You are definitely winning the battle - 65 pounds in 5 months is awesome!! Keep it up and you will reach your GW before you know it.

I go at least 3 days a week. I have a day of rest between sessions to "rest" the muscles. At the gym I start with 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by 30 minutes on the treadmill. I am trying to increase the incline on the treadmill and increase the speed/run for more time on the treadmill as my fitness improves. I…

Congrats Mike and Al! I'm glad to hear that you treat your employees right. I am not surprised by this either because you treat your subscribers to MFP with care and respect too. I hope the rewards keep coming!!

I would love to join the Friday Weighers. I think it is a great way to keep on track and be accountable. I lost 1.6 lbs. this week, which I am quite happy with at this point. I'm finding my weight loss is slowing down, but not enough to be worried about yet.
-
WOW! You are such an inspiration to us all! What was most helpful? I noticed in one of your photos you look like you were standing near weights. Any other helpful hints to pass on as to how you kept going for so long? You look fantastic...

Way to go!! I just hit ONEderland myself a couple of weeks ago, so I know the joy of breaking through that 200lb. barrier. Keep up the great job - you are looking great!
