  • WOW. I am absolutely amazing - you look STUNNING! This is what I hope to accomplish - this is what I want to do. I'm speechless, honestly. I have never wanted anything so much before in my life... Your journey has made my day 20 times better and I will think of this post the next time I want to reach for some cookies,…
  • Wow.. she sounds super jealous. I work at a physio office and all of my co-workers are very supportive. Especially the day girl, who herself lost 80 lbs! However, at home, I face challenges because my mom is very unsupportive. Mostly, I try to explain to her that I'm doing this for myself and I don't feel comfortable with…
  • Congratulations! I love running - it gives me a rush and a release feeling. Right now, my 49 year old father can probably outrun me and I'm only 18... but just you wait - by September, I will be able to beat his former soccer playing butt! *Hooray for father-daughter love*
  • Personally, I find that keeping my carbs around 100 and watching my calories is my secret to weight loss. Every person has a different method. Before, I used to believe that calorie counting didn't work because I could still sneak in some cookies and be under my total calorie count. I still felt unsatisfied and wasn't…
  • SW: 175 lbs GW: 120 lbs Hey guys - I'm here for the first weigh in and guess what...... July 8th/13 - 171.2 lbs Yay!!! That's 3.8 lbs down so far :D My goal for the end of July is 167.0 and then into the 150's by the end of August! I plan to keep up my weight loss once school starts in September too!
  • I was the ONLY girl in the fourth grade who already had size 36C breasts and I have always had stretch marks on my breasts and thighs. In the last year and a half, I put on 50+ pounds. That amount of weight gain in such a short period of time added stretch marks to my hips, stomach and arms. That's 5 total body parts!…

  • Try Level 1 of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred - all you need is handweights and a matt. When I was first losing weight, I found it was an easy program that I eventually mastered. I spent about a month and a half at level 1, did level 2 for a bit, but never actually made it to level 3 :( (that's when I started to put weight…
  • Wow - that is an amazing success story. Your doctor sounds a lot like mine - my mother is very obese and whenever we go in, she tells him that she does in fact, eat healthy foods - which is somewhat true. It is definitely the portion sizes that can kill you! I think that you're going to do very well for yourself, just…
  • Hey! We are the same height and have similar weight loss goals - I'm just a little bit lighter at 175. However, I am also younger than you so that's why my goal is 120 :) I know how it feels to be "back again"... 2 years ago, I came down to 127 lbs on Atkins, and know I'm back to being fat and unhappy - but we can do this,…
  • Amy - I found your post quite inspiring! It's unbelievable how much weight you have lost - especially considering you're a full time mom and probably lead a busy life. This kind of story makes me believe that I can achieve anything - my life isn't a fraction as busy as yours!
