It took me about 18 months to lose 100lbs, and nothing about it was easy. Tracking my food and adding exercise was how I did it, but tackling the emotional part of why I had been overweight in the first place is how I've kept off the weight for a year now. Every one is different, so comparing your weightloss journey to…

When I'm doing an easy 3 to 5 mile run, I like listening to the whole Imagine Dragons album. If I am doing speed work, I like the beats of Fall Out Boy's latest album. Then there are the shuffle days where my playlist includes happy pop music by Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Hedley, Nsync, Paramore, Simple Plan, Blink-182, Bowling…

Here's what my weight loss has looked like (by month) in the past year... 2014: Jun - 12.5 lbs July - 7 lbs Aug - 4.4 lbs Sep - 7.2 lbs Oct - 4.4 lbs Nov - 5.4 lbs Dec - 3.2 lbs 2015: Jan - 5.8 lbs Feb - 4.6 lbs Mar - 5.6 lbs Apr - 4.6 lbs May - 2.6 lbs

That is a truly great accomplishment. Keep up the great work!

Awesomesauce! That's a great achievement! I started running last year too. I ran my first 5k on Labor Day in 2013, did my first 10k on Easter weekend 2014, and have registered to run in my first half marathon on Nov. 16, 2014. The plan is to keep running and hopefully do a full marathon next year.

You look fantastic! Very inspiring how you decided to take back your life and stuck to the promise you made to yourself.

There was a lot of extra room in my seat on the plane and I had to keep pulling the belt to get it to tighten up enough around me. Oh, and not being recognized by friends because I've lost so much weight is awesome too.

I went from a size 22 to a size 12! My confidence has skyrocketed, which means I'm actually doing the things on my bucket list instead of just talking about them. I discovered that I can run and I actually enjoy it.

You look fabulous!

I'm 5'2" and currently at 167 lbs. Fifteen months ago I was 250 lbs, and my goal is to get down to 140 lbs. Short Gals Rule!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate your kind words very much.

Wonderful story! You are going to do amazing things with your new goals.

I think it is really great that you are committing to yourself to make this happen! Stay focused!
