Way to go! The first step of many! :)

I have a heel spur, which makes it difficult for me to walk. On a check up, I told my doctor that I hadn't been walking as much because it hurt from my heel spur. I also have 2 bulging discs in my lower back. She suggested I get the Skechers Shape Ups. I asked if they really toned because I doubted they did. She said no,…

That's awesome! Keep it up! I can't jog yet, just getting started walking and getting my body used to that. I'm signing up for the 5K that I've been wanting to do for years though! It's in 8 weeks, so I hope I can get used to walking the distance in good time. I just want to finish. One day, I want to be able to run- run…

Feel free to add me. I have about 150lbs to lose. I have 3 children, work full time, and go to school, so I definitely know how it is to have a goal like this when you're busy. I hope to make new friends on here as well.

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, my signature is correct. I lost 20lbs in a week, but that was just to jump start things. It's not going to be a habit. I'm in my 20s, had 3 children and a tons of stretch marks. I am working out and the trainer has shown me what weight machines I can use. I have to stay away from some…

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll stick with weighing in every day for now. I tend to procrastinate and I think if I moved it to only once a week, I'd be tempted to "eat now, worry later" and would get discouraged and give up. Maybe my weight won't fluctuate so much after I get a good amount of the weight off.

Fantastic job!! I hope to post pics like that next year.

I'm 5'9. Kinda weird to see all these posts and yet I have the largest size. One day I'll be like all of you in smaller sizes though. SW:299, size 26. CW:279, but still in a 26, although they are beginning to be loose.

You are NOT the only one. In case you haven't already noticed from the many posts before this one. lol. I too, need to lose well over 100lbs. Welcome to Myfitnesspal!

5'8 or 5'9 and my target weight is 145

Perhaps you are gaining muscle while burning fat, thus keeping the scale the same, but melting inches. Way to go! By gaining that muscle, it should help burn fat easier.

I'm on hCG right now, in the middle of my first round. I will not be doing it again. My friend lost 90lbs in a year doing several cycles of the drops, so I decided to try them as well. After I ordered them, I changed my mind about wanting to do them, but didn't want to cause problems since she already paid for them. So, I…

I'm right there with you also. I have lost 19lbs, but still have 145lbs more to go to my goal weight. Stay with it. You can do it!
