Wow! you've done such an amazing job! You look fantastic! How tall are you?

In only 60 days!?!?! That's awesome! Your back pictures are crazy awesome! I am hopeful!

Following....my daughter suggested this program!

I cant believe what Ive read.....all be it a little. A friend of mine had gastric bypass. Does that surgery change anything other than the size of a persons stomach? NO! Under doctors supervision people all over are ordered to eat 1000-1500 calories maximum per day. No eating any exercise calories back either!!! The OP is…

Bump- a r-roonie! Gotta showmy friend! What kind of workouts do you do? How many days....durations ect?

Oh my goodness!!! Congratulations!!!! You should be so proud! How did you do this? This is insanely fantastic!

Wowzers! Congrats! You are doing sooooo well! Keep it up!!!

I agree! I found it a while back and it encouraged me. It can give a great idea.what certain body types look like at different weights, heights, and body tones! Glad you liked it too!

Try checking out this site! It is real woman posting pics of themselves at different hights and weights! You can actually select the height and weight you are interested in! http://www.mybodygallery.com/search.html?height=any&weight=any&pant=any&shirt=any&zphoto=large&new=1 I think it has alot to do with how you are built,…

I am new to the group and this is my first challenge month :) I will be doing a combination of LS and outdoor walking. I dont want to make a goal too big, as Id like to do the bike as well. My goal for March will be 40 miles. Best wishes everyone!!

bump :happy:

Yes! So you are burning more than you are consuming! At that rate you should lose approximately one pound per week. Remember, one pound is 3500 calories.

In your burn you need to include the calories that your body burns to survive....breath....walk...ect. It's called a BMR, Basic Metabolic Rate. Say you live a sedentary life, no exercise or activity.....maybe your body burns 1800 calories to function daily......then you workout and burn 400 calories. you have now burned…

For exercise I would suggest to start walking. Walking...then jogging...eventually running. Cut out sugars and try to eat clean, by that I mean fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. Chicken! I love chicken...lol. This is my second time losing weight. The first time I lost 60 in 5 months, just by walking and eating well. Add…

HAHA Me too!

Nope, never. I only record loss. Even last week I had a few high sodium days and gained a couple pounds because of water retention. I didn't record my weight that week. I waited a week, then recorded not only the couple pound drop, but an extra pound too! Give yourself a break!

Sigh. You are not, not losing weight one week because you didn't eat your exercise calories back. I know MANY people who lose 10 to 15 pounds a month, who religiously eat 1200 to 1500 cals a day, and they workout. Many who have already reached their goal with no real plateaus. Heck. Go check the success forums. I don't…

Homeschooled for five years, but not anymore. Totally get the homeschooled life though :) Honestly, if you are looking for something to do inside, VIDEOS! There are some fantastic videos out there that give an amazing calorie burn! My exercises of choice are walking and stationary bicycle. I do the stationary bike, which…

HAHA! This person just listed most of my go to staples! I aim for under 1500. I had an accident day at 1100, just busy and wasn't hungry, then the next day I ate 1500. No big. Like so many have posted, eat clean. I look for food with good nutritional content and low cals. Example day: BREAKFAST Tea Toast with peanut butter…

You are doing great. They key is consistancy...long term. PLEASE, do not give up! This is the second time I've had to lose weight. The first time, at the end of three weeks I was up five pounds! I was soooo discouraged, I don't know how I pushed on. BUT! The next week I lost five and then three and then four....in five…

Unreal results in only four and a half months! You look fantastic and should be so proud of yourself!! Can u share what you did to be so successful!

You are doing fantastic!

Curious, what were your daily calorie goals? Did you get most of your exercise in with walking?

Love this post! Thanks for taking the time to write it to inspire! Congratulations! I love this because right now, starting out, walking is what I have in me to do :)

You are.doing amazing! Congratulations! Cant wait to see your next post! PS You look so friendly!

Wow! Who would have thought it would make such a difference in a face shot? Congrats on the loss. All the best for 2013!

He gets bored too!

Myhusband goes snacky. Apples, cantelope, rice cake chips, pickles, cheese, protien bars, yogurt, v-8 one shot of vegi cans, turkey or peanut butter sandwiches.....and sometimes uses a thermos for soup and stew.
