Well I've lost 101 fairly quickly, since January and I still have about 120 to get to goal so I'm starting to get really vigilant with trying supplements to help but so far ivy skin is really not as bad as I thought. Idk if its due to going backwards on my elliptical but my legs and thighs are tight and my butt has lifted.…

I started at 365 in January and I am also curious to see how people who had lost 150 or more have faired.

Thanks for posting this! We have the exact same start weight and are the exact same weight now! I saw this and said my weight loss twin! Lol. I was 365 and now weigh 269. I've dropped 96 pounds. Also similar heights I'm 5'7, yet very different ages. I'm 37. Anyway so awesome to see your progress you are doing and looking…

Oops :) just noticed my ticker says 124 to go LOL. I LOVE seeing that number drop!

Hi All! I'm 5'7 and I weigh(as of last weigh in) 269. 4 pounds away from my first 100 pounds lost. I started at 365 pounds. I still have 126 til my goal of 145. So 100+ to lose here. Let's do this people!!! ;) Feel free to add me.

Truly inspiring! I also have my next goal set to get to 250! Amazing work!

Wow! You are such an inspiration! You completely transformed your whole body! You did an amazing job!

So inspiring!! You did an amazing job!

I'm 5'7 and today I weighed in at 275. That's down from my highest weight of 365. I started my weight loss journey in Feb. 2014 and by the time I joined MFP on June 11th I was 293. Now 30 days logged on MFP I'm down 18 more pounds to 275. My goal is 145. So 90 pounds down and 130 until I reach my goal. I honestly didn't…

Hi! I am aiming for 130 pounds lost and I'm here for support as well as I need support! Feel free to add me guys! Let's do this!

My birthday was February 1st and it's like something inside of me shifted. I was thinking I'm either gonna be 40 and fit or 40 and fat. You choose. So I set out on a journey to get fit and to be 40 and fab. I started Feb 17th and hopefully in the 3 years leading up to my 40th I will have reached my goals! I found MFP 4…

So inspiring! Awesome job!

Amazing!!!!!

Congrats. You did Fantastic!!!! Amazing and courageous! Thank you for sharing this! Very inspirational.

Hiya! Fellow pushing 40er here and yes everything says after 35 it's much harder. :( However I've never been one to play by the rules so I'm going for it anyway lol. Everything I'm doing is with the idea of a countdown to my 40th. Turning 37 and being this out of shape made something click inside me. I was like Fat 40 or…

Thx for the ideas! I know large amounts of time spent exercising scare me. Lol. I just think there's no way I can exercise 1-2 hours a day. Then if u ever stop the weight will come piling back on. I would prefer something like 10-15 mins daily but H.I.I.T. I read high intensity can have the same effect of an hour of…

(((((Big hugs)))))))!! I was the exact same way. It hurt to stand, it hurt to walk. I am 5'7 and was 365lbs. I constantly had to lean on the counter for support. I started Feb this year and I'm now down to 293(last weeks weight). Haven't checked recently but I will soon. Anyway I'm saying that to say I didn't exercise…

Great advice! Thanks. I have been parking in the far away spots and walking. Trying to power walk with my cart though the warehouse while my pallet cart has 4 35 pound cases of water. I shop the wholesale clubs but that's the extent of my exercise. That's where I struggle. I dread exercise and avoid it like the plague. I…

Thx I'm am extremely keen!

Yes the 21 day rule is quite popular. My dirty little secret is I rarely exercise. So that 21 day challenge for me would hopefully get me consistent with daily workouts. The dread I feel when I know I need to work out I just can't even describe it. How can I force myself to workout when I just seem to avoid it at all…

Aww thx for the encouragement and you know I'm just figuring that out. There isn't a gimmick or a trick nor a quick fix. Just me being consistent, persevering sticking to my diet. Logging calories in vs calories out to make it to goal.

Awesome! Let's do it. I'm more serious than I've ever been. I'm more stubborn. I flat out refuse to turn 40 this way. I am in this to win this lol.

Wow Squeak! 600+ calories for one drink?!? This is def gonna be a whole new world for me getting the hang of calorie counting. I'm learning so much already. French Vanilla is so yummy it's my fave. Wow so you def understand the shock I experienced. I'm sure there were days I had another handful so that was prob 500-700…

Hi! And yes I need to lose 148. You are not alone. I just joined today looking for support to do this long term. I hope to lose the 150 pounds in 150 weeks. Meaning 1 pound a week being patient with myself and consistent with my diet.

Thanks Kymkylemo! That's what I was thinking. I'm like this time around I want to be completely realistic. I want to give myself time as well as ingrain in my brain to most of all be consistent and be patient. Only then will the results come. I didn't gain it over night and I won't lose it over night. In the past I'd find…

Another "health food" I never would have thought to second guess is coconut. I mean I hear cheesecake and I think danger danger danger.! But fresh coconut and walnuts I had no idea. But I will def be using the nuts in moderation from this point forward. I kept going back to re enter the word walnuts with this puzzled look…

Ok I get it! Awesome and congrats!!!

Hiya Christine! Thanks so much for your support! And advice! Wow I guess I will invest in one of those food scales. That makes sooooo much sense now that you've said measure only liquids in cups! Epihany goosebumps lol. Wow.

Mumma thx it's awesome to have a veteran on my team! So may I ask, is the 100 days a milestone? How does that work? I may have to look for a sticky that gives me info on the basics. Thx again!

Thanks squeak monster! Lol. I'm still looking around getting a feel for the site, getting the hang of things. I'm so happy you ladies are joining my quest for 40s domination! I have ALOT to lose. So I need all the help I can get. I started without counting calories but eating more veggies and nuts and fish. I just learned…
