WOW!! What an amazing accomplishment and you LOOK AMAZING!! You are indeed a great writer. I hope you write for a living because your writing is very moving. It brought a tear to my eyes.

Great idea! Love seeing people my age. I am 45 and have a teenage son. Used to run a lot, have done two marathons but became rather lazy and gained 40 pounds. I've been doing P90X mixed with some jogging on the treadmill (Minnesota, icy sidewalks, you know).

Vinyasas, HAHAHA! IKR my back hurts from those too.

I did P90X a couple of years ago and lost about 15 pounds during those three month, without tracking food (but I did eat healthier than normal). I LOVE P90X. I just remember my arms looked so toned and I had way more energy. I was amazed at how much stronger I got in a fairly short time frame, and by the time I was done, I…

I removed a lot of the refined sugar from my diet because once I am on that sugar roller coaster, it is hard for me to stop. If I have one cookie, I want six more. An hour later I want more...later that evening I want even more. Having said that, I am now used to eating better and when I eat better, I don't crave the sugar…

WOW!!! Soooo inspiring, thanks for sharing!! You seriously look amazing, huge congrats.

Pretty much the same for me! Tried the 12.. didn't fit..14 pretty tight. I realized the clothes in regular stores would soon not fit me...I knew then and there I had to do something. Also a person I had just met told me she was going to run a marathon this summer and I said I was also going to run a marathon (which in fact…

I'm 5'3" and 175lb. Nice to see others with similar situations. Add me if you'd like! I'd like to get down to 140, possibly 130 as that's about a size 6 for me.

Hockey mom, originally from Wisconsin. Need I say more? Though beer has probably caused 80% of my added pounds, I will continue to drink some. I'll just cut back!

I saw the word 'obese' too, on the doc's paper. Ouch. (I'm 5'3", 175.) It prompted me to get out here so I figure it's a good thing. :-) I figure as long as I am doing something to improve myself, I can't feel bad. I wouldn't worry about pleasing your doctor though. She doesn't have to live your life! You are doing good so…

I've been trying new recipes because of some health issues I've had....and I found a recipe for cauliflower pizza crust. Here's one, for example: http://www.theluckypennyblog.com/2013/02/the-best-cauliflower-crust-pizza.html I know it sounds strange and perhaps even gross but you can't even tell the crust is made with…

My favorite TV Show is Spongebob Squarepants. Sometimes I laugh uncontrollably. (My favorite episode is the Health Inspector one...)
-
HAHAH!! Me too. From Red Wing, Minnesota.
-
Add me too! I am very close to where you are and were. I'd be so happy to be back to 135 but even somewhat close would be good. I just started out here yesterday (after a prior stint using this site). After MANY failed attempts...this time I am focusing on building habits. Today is the first day and I've done very well so…

Low cal eggs benedict: 1/3 cup egg whites, 2 slices Canadian bacon, sauteed spinach (in Pam spray), and sliced tomatoes over top. Sprinkle on some Season-all or Lawry's. So delicious and filling,,,,, and under 200 calories.

Funny post! :) I ABSOLUTELY hate the cheaply done and CHEESY T.V. ads for Care.com. First, they have a bunch of kids saying stupid things that don't look real at all. I love kids when they are being real, but these kids are being forced to say things and trying to make them cute... UGH!! The one girl says she is looking…

True love is not about weight. This guy is a jerk. My two cents: LEAVE HIM... This advice comes from my heart and experience. Took me 15 years to realize it and now I am with a guy who loves me no matter what. I wear a size 12 right now and he keeps telling me every day how perfect I am. I have always loved myself, but…

Simply AMAZING!! You are beautiful! You look so much happier in the 'after' photos. The determination and strength it took to lose that much and you are still going. Huge congrats! By the way my name is also Stephanie and I'm also 5'3. :) :)

What's bad about almond milk? I drink it every day and thought it was good. I drink the unsweetened stuff.

I am not a vegetarian or vegan but I really do enjoy the Morningstar Farms products now and then. Because they are processed and loaded with sodium I don't eat them very often. But I do like most of their products, for a change now and then. One time I tried to use a recipe and create my own veggie burgers. They turned out…
-
Lots of good ideas here! :-) I suggest taking the money and buying something that will really add some action and enjoyment to your life. Something you really love. If you love to play pool, make it a pool table. If you love XBOX, get an XBOX and a projector to play on the big wall in your basement. (Just an idea...) Make…
-
I agree with a lot of people here in saying that it depends on many things. I am 5'3" and currently weight 153 pounds. I have a lot of muscle from running and P90X so I don't have any fat rolls. I just went to a waterpark and couldn't wait to put on my bikini! :) Having said that, I still have a ways to go, and I am aiming…

Thanks susank66!:wink: Oops sorry I am new to the forums, should've 'quoted' to reply to your comment.

I am glad you wrote this and posted it. I have had several people approach me with warnings of 'starvation mode'. I have been listening to my sister instead of them. She used the 1200 calories a day as a guideline, sometimes more and sometimes less. She lost 65 pounds over a reasonable amount of time, and has kept it off…
