Just wanted to say you look great and I love how happy you look in our 'during' pic.

You are not alone! The important thing is you are here and you never know this may be the time that it 'clicks' with you. You can do it - you already know that...

That is excellent. Way to go being proactive for your health!

You look great! Congrats!

Awesome progress!

Keep up the good work!

Because going to the gym before/after work doesn't work for me - I walk during my coffee break at work. I'm fortunate that my office has a small gym so in the winter I walk on the treadmil and during the summer I walk around our building outside. This is what works for me and what I will actually do.

This is the 2nd post of yours that I have read and I totally love them... Everything you have written about are things I have thought about and know in my heart but, to see it written by someone else is a positive reaffirmation for me. Thank you for sharing!

Well done.

Congrats - you look great!

I completely understand the soda addiction. I used to drink only diet coke the only water I got was from the ice cubes :smile: ... I still drink my diet soda every day but, I start my day off with water until lunch time and then I switch over. Is it where I want to be - No. But, it's better than where I was and my heart…

I sometimes find it tedious to log as well but, it is necessary for me. One thing I do is find a recipe that looks similar to what I'm eating and then I typically say the serving size is a little larger than what it actually is just because I know the calories aren't always correct.

Hi I'm 45 married with 2 teenage daughters. I live and work in NH - I have lived in the same area all my life.

Congrats on quitting smoking.. That was your first step toward a healthier you. You got this!

Wow. Great job!

Best feeling ever!

Great job! You look so happy in your current pics.

I agree with the OP's that say not to quit exercising. Even if it's just a quick walk to the mailbox or a walk during your lunch break etc. I am also one of those people that if I eat the sweets I will crave them. I am back here at MFP again (about 15 days in) and while I have had some sweets it's not nearly what I was…

I did not get a side with my sandwich today for lunch.

This is interesting - this has happened to me before. I never thought about it being due to my breathing.

You look great - needed those motivational words as well!

Way to go!

Sorry this is long.... Each year the company I work for gives the employees a free health screening (height, weight, BP, finger stick blood draw). 2014 results I had some numbers that were over the normal range and some that were within the normal range but, on the cusp of being bad. All of the numbers had heart disease…

Love this post! Very inspiring.

You look great!

Congrats! You look great!

Awesome story! You look great!

I agree with what Kramrn77 said about one habit at a time. I started with my diet coke addiction. I still have it but, I now drink water until lunch time and then I am allowed to switch over. I slowly incorporated 20 minutes of walking during coffee breaks at work every day. Now that those 2 things are pretty much habits -…

Me too.. I often look for the "like" button. You look great!

And that everyone also looks younger!
