You're looking spectacular! I went into losing weight this year with the same idea, I haven't given up anything I love just tried eating in moderation. I could usually keep to 1500 to 2000 calories a day, rarely stay within the 1200 because I'd be totally starving! Thanks for sharing your story, truly inspiring :)

Hot damn girl... you look AWESOME!!! I'm 5'1" and a little under your current weight and am nowhere as fit as you.

We're having a warm spell here in NY and the snow is melting so I was able to get a run in today... YAY!!! I want to take advantage of the good weather and try to get at least 10 miles in between tomorrow and Sunday. I have to work Saturday and the day is way too busy to get any running in that day :( 12/01/13 - 8.8 miles…

You look fantastic and your eyes are AMAZING! Rock on girl :)

Hi everyone! First off, reading this post has been super inspiring!!! I'm 5'1" and started out my weight loss journey in March of this year at 140lbs. I think the heaviest I've ever been is around 148-150 but I had managed to get down to 116-118 around 3 1/2 years ago but slowly gained it all back. When I got to the point…

You look amazing!!! Thank for the info, I'm pretty much close to my goal weight and am now concentrating on tightening my core so I will definitely be adding those planks, bridges and scissor kicks to my routine :)

I also don't wear heels on a regular basis but I do like them on occasion since I am a girly girl who loves buying dresses and some of them just look better with a heel. I only really started wearing heels 5 years ago and I started with kitten heels which are a good way to learn balance without having the height to deal…

Awesome job! I'm hoping to do the same the next couple of days.

Almost halfway to my goal but the cold has kicked in and I've been feeling run down so far this week. I really missed running the last three days though and I'm hoping to power through a run the next two days despite the cold. 12/01/13 - 8.8 miles 12/02/13 - 5.2 miles 12/03/13 - 6.1 miles 12/04/13 - 8.1 miles 12/05/13 -…

Thanks for this awesome info!

I'm in! I just started running this March and I've really gotten into it. The last few months I've managed to run over 100 miles each month but the holidays should keep me busy and the cold will be settling in soon so I doubt I'll be able to improve on that so I'll be happy to just do manage the 100 miles this month.…

First off, you have done an amazing job so far and you're looking fab! I only had 22lbs to lose when I started in March and I'm still not quite there yet so I'm quite impressed at what you've managed so far. I'm totally with you on doing this the natural way and I've also been sure to do it in a realistic way this time out…

What's the weather like today where you are? I'm in NYC and it's freaking cold! The biting wind is the worst :( Favorite item of clothing that fits you currently? I'm back in my skinny jeans... yay!!! Favorite color(s)? Black and blue. Your current favorite snack? Mini Coffee Almond Haagen Dazs bar. Describe the best or…

Sorry you're going through such a rough patch pal! I'm 38 with no kids (I get the stink eye on that one too but I never had a desire to have them) and getting married for the first time in my life so don't lose hope, the right guy is out there for you! You are not pathetic, I totally understand feeling like the 3rd…

I'm in the no camp, eating at a calorie deficit should do it. I give props to those who can do it but I think that for most of us it's hard to eat 100% clean all the time and it tends to defeat the purpose in the end. Every time I went that way I ended up gaining everything back and more because when I'd finally relent I'd…

I was in the red the first three days of the week so I was thrilled to see a huge drop this week. I'm also thrilled with my NSV, I'm wearing my skinny jeans today... huzzah!!!

I understand where you're coming from girl and considering how bad your winters are I'd say it's a good investment and your only real option during the cold months. I agree with @Celtbelle, leave your house early and do it on your way in to work or vice versa. My brothers gym is literally two blocks away and even he goes…

Time to update... didn't lose much this week but I didn't behave much so I'm happy not to have had a gain.

First off congrats, you've done a fabulous job!!! I originally lost 22lbs three years ago and went from a size 12P to a 4P in about 5 months. I wasn't actually trying to lose the weight but had a small bout of depression that led me to lose without trying. Losing the weight was about the only good thing to come out of that…

Congrats! I started C25K back in March and could barely run 5 minutes without wanting to die, now I usually run a minimum of 3 miles in about 35 min, 30 in a good day. I've really enjoyed running the last seven months but there have definitely been roadblocks to surpass. Once I started running longer than 30 minutes I…

WOW... You look incredible!!!! Muriel

I eat a lot of the steamer bags of veggies and I've noticed there isn't as much in the bag as it states. If it says 3/4 cups I usually don't fill it to the top but count it as if I did.

Perhaps you guys lost the weight pretty evenly so people didn't notice, especially since you're tall and carry weight a lot better than those of us of shorter stature. My mom actually has a friend (I use the term loosely) who hadn't seen her in a while and told her she looked huge even though she'd lost 20lbs! She's…

I imagine it's different for everyone but I was curious myself. I'm lucky in that I lose pretty evenly although I notice it most in my waist and my boobs because my bra gets looser. I think the most stubborn parts for me are the tummy and thighs, that's where I'm slower to lose. I have noticed that my cousin and aunt loose…

I'm in! My goal is to lose 7lbs by the end of the year, might as well try to get there a week earlier if possible :)

Congrats! That's the most awesome feeling. I'm like you, I set a target weight but my top goal was to fit back into my skinny clothes. I left a couple of dresses in my closet and my skinny jeans in my drawer for inspiration. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that some of the size 8P's I was wearing 6 months ago were way too…

Height: 5'1 CW: 124.8 GW: 115 My goal is to reach 118 by the end of this year but I'm hoping that I'll be down to 115 by next summer. The number isn't even as big a deal as being more toned for next summer so I'll be happy if the number is higher as long as there isn't as much jiggle... LOL

Hi everyone! I'm 38 and 5'1". I think the heaviest I may have ever been was around 148 and was down to 118 three years ago. Slowly went up to 140 once more and when I could barely squeeze my butt into my size 8's back in March I started C25K. My UG is to get down to 118 and back into my size 4 clothes... I'm getting close,…

Hi everyone! I started this journey back in March, lost then gained. Started to really use MFP back in August and am going to push to reach my goal by the end of the year... only 6.8 lbs to go!!!
