thanks for the feedback so far!! seems like a lot of pro polar people out there! this is definitely helping me make some hard choices! and FrnkLft, thanks! I actually didn't realize fitbit was merely a step counter.

well I went from 350 to 247 so far and I've unfortunately still got a full fledged hanging belly but I don't expect it to dissapear. Even when I hit 160. Why? Because of the stretched out skin from being obese for so long. There will always be hanging there unless it's surgically removed. Same thing for my arms! I hope…

I started February 2013 and set out to lose any and all excess weight. I'm not done... but I'd say over 100 lbs lost is a very fair accomplishment for 10 months time! Looking to get under 200 lbs in 2014. I'm so excited to see where I can take this new life of mine!! I hope you find the motivation you are looking for! I'm…

thank you for all of the kind comments!!! I'm glad people realized why I was posing with dog food! lol. i forgot to make a note on that one. and there was a comment I wanted to reply to! i thought the SAME thing when looking at my pictures for throwback Thursday or even my beginning picture in regards to me frowning. I…

I just wanted to say thank you for every single person who took the time to write your sweet message to me. I'm overwhelmed with happy tears right now. One person in particular really spoke to me and touched on something I still need to work on, and that is to accept and love myself for who I am now! That is so hard to do.…

thx ReeDunbar. Liked your page!

Thanks every one of you. It gave me the biggest smile to read all of your sweet messages. It is so rewarding to know that I have inspired someone. You all motivate and inspire me so I'm super happy that I could do the same! Will see you all again when I reach a new goal!

Thanks all of you for the kind words. It's really been an emotional journey. I feel like I'm in someone else's body and an experiencing new things.. Such as clothes that are uncomfortable because they are actually too big instead of too tight. I've never been thin and healthy in my adult life and in really looking forward…

There! Fixed it! And thanks everyone :)

Yea sorry guys! No idea how to resize it!

I'm 5'4". Started my journey in February 2013 @ 350 lbs. I've been up as high as 386 or so tho :( ( I imagine in 2008 during the top photo I was somewhere around there) Here is a comparison I put together from two different times seeing one of my best friends. I am currently @ 278 with a long road ahead of me.... but I…

what a great feeling that must be. I hope to celebrate that day for myself as well

and they look great on you! :) boy... to be a size 10... hopefully some day :) i'll try to listen more to how my clothes fit than to what the scale reads. i'll hopefully be much less dissapointed!!

Thank you all :)

thanks! during my journey i have beat diabetes... corrected my hypertension... and lessened my back pain. i have endless energy. i wish i could see the results but i certainly do feel them. a long road ahead of me. i started in February at 350 and hope to make it to around 200 lbs by my anniversary in February 2014.

thank you all. :) These forums are a constant inspiration for me. Looking forward to posting my final goal pics someday in the future.

thank you, cmdoiy :)

looking goood! your face and legs already look like you are at the 150 mark. you carry your weight in the middle like me. i still am rocking my double chin tho lol. keep up the great work :)

Thank you all so very much! Skinnykenny, I started my weight loss journey in February 2013 with an A1C of 6.4. I'm sure I will always have to watch my carb in-take closely to avoid diabetes from creeping back. And I will! Thanks again for celebrating with me :)

thanks kizzy!!

thanks to everyone of you :) it's a hard road. every month i have a week of struggle and self-doubt and an urge to slip back in to old ways ( shark week) and every month I somehow manage to overcome it. it's hard to lose weight when you'd like to shove everything in the fridge down your throat. lol thank god for almonds. i…

Congrats! How funny... We made nearly the same exact post. Great job on your weight loss :)

Thanks moby chick! I will :)

Thanks! Couldn't figure out how to display from my phone.

I was taking One A Day Vitacraves before starting my journey then realizing they have useless carbohydrates in them I switched to a prenatal (as my doctor suggested) NEW CHAPTER perfect prenatal multivitamin. It's found at health food stores and is non-gmo. I had a rough first day realizing that a serving size is 3 and…

you look AH-mAZING! i must admit tho that it reminded me of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPi71LSZxT0
