I think the very first week I lost 5 but then it slowed down to a steady 2-3 lbs a week for a few months then I would plateau for a few weeks then 1-2 lbs weekly then plateau again. It took me just under 1 year to loose over 100 lbs and another 6 months after that to loose 15lbs. I have now kept it off for about a year and…

i'm sorry someone would say hurtful things like that- you can do this, it just takes time- it took me just under a year to loose 110 lbs and another 6 months after that to loose another 13 my goal weight was 160 (from 270) and I am currently 147

you can add me, I am a mom and 2 young kids (1 and 2) and have lost 123lbs in the last 18 months (it really only took about 13 months since I have maintained since then)

I was miserable after gaining so much weight during my pregnancy with my now 2 year old then got pregnant again a few months after he was born and gained even more weight and I knew I had to do something about it. I was DETERMINED to get down to 160 by his 1st birthday he is now 18 months old and I weigh 147 :)

I work out while my youngest naps. I have a 1 and a 2 year old and it's hard at times to find the time. If I have to I wait until my husband is home and go to the gym or go in the other room and do my workout try dvd stuff like jullian michaels or supreme 90 they are all under an hour and its easier to find time for those

My husband drinks a few beers when he comes home from work or a glass of scotch if we have either. If not he won't go buy any and he drinks on the weekends every weekend. It doesn't bother me because he works hard and as long as he isn't getting drunk every night I don't care.

I do one meal a week and about once a month I have a full day where I eat whatever I want and its been fine

hello just wanted to say good luck and it is entirely possible to loose 100 lbs.

its not near as hard you think. we had our first one and then got pregnant with our 2nd 5 months later and its still not as hard as people say. They are now 1 and 2 and its not that bad. congrats

I have been TONS of research over the last week and calling and verifying the surgeons certifications along with the anesthesiologist as well to make sure what their website and he says are true. I have talked to another mom that had it done and spend a lot of time online reading others peoples stories. I have been…

I have been doing body pump 3-4 times a week for almost a year as well as ab and other stomach exercises for about 6 months. I have toned up a lot but the extra skin won't go away. it' s not a lot but they would probably take about 7-10lbs away once it's it done and the swelling goes down. I am not currently trying to…

my husband is staying home the first 5 days and then my step mom is coming to stay a week and then my Aunt is coming down and staying the following week. It will be really hard to not let them sit on my lap or pick them up, but having a good support system will help a lot. my 2 year old I think will be fine with it but my…

that same thing happened to my MIL- she had breast cancer and they did they same thing, her stomach ended up folding in on itself and looks deformed now. since I am not having any grafting done I am less worried about something like that happening I think I am more afraid going under than the surgery itself.-which I have…

my mom did the same thing, when I gained over 100 lbs with my kids (ages 2 and 1) she told me there was no way I would ever loose the weight and refused to give me my old clothes back i let her borrow because she said I will never fit into them again. WELL I AM PROUD TO SAY I LOST IT ALL WITHIN A YEAR AND THEN SOME :) now…

I have been doing body pump at the gym for almost a year and I love it I recently downloaded 2 of them and have been doing them at home 3-5 times a week and I like that much better

when I first got my license I was 140 and that's what I put on it,then when I renewed(after a name change) it a few years ago I didn't change the weight and I was 250 and last week I went in to renewed it and was able to put 155 (my current weight) and was thrilled so I totally understand congrats

because I had that attitude while pregnant with my now 2 year old that I could eat whatever I wanted and after giogn almost a year before getting pregnant at only 1000 calories a day my body held on to everything I hate and then I gained 80 lbs with him and then got pregnant again 5 months later and gained another 50 lbs…

the worst thing someone said to me was from my mom I told her through my whole pregnancy that I would get all 110 lbs off by my son's first birthday (had 2 kids back to back) and that I wanted my jeans back she stole from me and she told me flat out that there was NO WAY I will ever loose the weight and that I am basically…

zumba is great- I try to go 3 times a week

we drink on the weekends sometimes- but i usually put a shot of rum into a sobe life water and I always log in on here. the rum is only 69 calories a shot and the sobe is 0 calories so I try to work my food around that so I can have a drink or 2 without feeling too guilty

when my ex and I divorced I lost 70lbs and started tanning and cut my hair, then he saw me (after hearing how good I looked) one day and his eyes about came out of his sockets hahaha I loved it

I'm in In HATE squats so this might make me do them more to tone up my inner thighs

if you wait until the "right" time or "right" age or until you are more financially stable than you will never have kids. you learn to adjust your life and the lifestyle you had once you have kids with that being said I personally think 21 is too young for several reasons 1) I had my first kid at 25 and second at 26 and I…

I would say get off the pill now and then see what happens I was 160 when I got pregnant with my now 2 year old and gained 80 lbs with him and then I got pregnant again with my now 1 year old and total i gained 110 between them (but I had a ruptured disc and was immobile most of my first pregnancy so most people do not…

my goal for 2011 was to get to 160 and now I am 155, my goal for 2010 is to tone everything up and be happy with myself

he started working with my ex husband and my ex brought him over one night after work and we just clicked and we were basically best friends and then we started dating shortly after my divorce. we have now been together for almost 4 years and have 2 kids together :)

a friend gave me all her 18's and 20's and when those were too big I had to go buy some 16's and then I still had 13's from years ago so I had transition clothes. I just started buying a new wardrobe a few months ago and I got me 2 pairs of jeans and now they are getting too big so I know how ya feel. now I am avoiding…

only do what you can and don't try and push yourself too hard. I jumped right into 30 days shred after not working out for almost 2 years and got a stress fracture in my leg so just be careful and listen to your body

I have reached my original goal and I bought new clothes and got a tatttoo,

I had 2 kids back to back and went from 160-270 between them, I hated how i looked and felt and was miserable I can happily say that I know weight 156 and still going :) and I lost it all in a year :)
