Wow you guys have given me such motivation today, really needed it. Two years in and I'm so close to my goal, but things are stalling. Here is my before and during pictures.. I'm 1.63m (5.3")

Hello everyone, Can I join this thread.. I have lost 80 pounds but have another 80 pounds to go... I am from South Africa, Free State, Bothaville.. a very small farming community.. Where are all of you from? I see some really great losses in this group. Wow you girls are really motivating.... Louisa xxx

Hi, congrats on your loss thus far as well. You doing great. I'm sure we will both reach our goals in 2013. Good luck, and keep going.

Thank you, now I know.. first time posting photos on here. :-)

Hi everyone, I had a very good day food wise. I'm lucky that I've given up sweets etc 5 weeks ago so it is easier already. I went walking with the dogs again today was about 40 min. I also did the bicep curls and squats. 30 of each. Hoping you all had a good 1st day of the challenge.

Add me too if you want.. we all need as much support as possible. It is great to see so many people (that don't even know each other) support each other so much. Wonderful in deed.

I'm in as well. Thank you for the invite. I had surgery 2 weeks ago so will start with walking every day, and I will do as much of the strength training as possible. I've banned all sweets a month ago already, so this challenge will just help me to stay strong with that. I also gave coffee :-( around the same time. As I…

My sister in law continued with her step classes all through her pregnancy, in fact her last class was the day before her baby was born. I'm no expert, but I'm sure if you continue and take it easy you should be fine. Best would probably be to ask your doctor just to make sure. If those kind of exercise is not allowed,…
