Awesome job!!

You look great! and yes! Lifting weights is great for both men and women. Weights will not bulk women up either. It actually helps you lose weight as lean muscles burn fat all day long. Our work is doing a wellness program but to get the 5 miles in a day, I have to do the cardio to get the steps in to get the points in so…

Awesome post! So true and we all slip and it's great to know we can forgive ourselves.....I find the weight loss is much like my faith....I love having accountability partners that help me along the way....not to comdemn us when we slip but to guide us back on the right track. Ask us how things are going in our lives. If…

I would say yes it matters. I agree with many of the posts. I would check with your doctor but even if it's only doing 10 minutes at a time, I would work in 30 minutes at least on those off days. If you can find one person that will help you with accountability it really helps. I was lucky and found someone at the gym who…

You look great!! WTG!!

You are looking great! Keep up the hard work!

Feel free to add me! Would love to encourage you along your journey! If we can't laugh at ourselves...who can we laugh at? ; )

Looking great!

Hope you will stay with it. I know it must be hard at times to get up and face the day but like others have said, your child would not want you to lose faith. I only have one child and I know I would think it was the end if I lost her but pray if that was something that happened, my faith and my friends and family would…

Love, love, love it! You look amazing! WTG on all the hard work!

Please feel free to add me as a friend. I've been on this journey now since March and have lost about 30lbs. It goes up and down since I'm working out 6 days a week but they say muscle is much better than fat......so as long as my clothes are fitting loose, I figure I'm doing something right. It does help when you have…

I love your story. I did the same thing only I had gotten up to about 180 at 5'10", size 16. I got down to 130 lbs. size 6/8 which was pretty small for my height. Then I got divorced in my 30's......and put the weight back on and plenty more. You have worked hard to get where you are and you look great. Don't ever loose…

WTG! You are looking great. I'm doing a little weight training and started in March, 2012 and have lost right at 30lbs now. They really say in the materials I've been reading that getting some muscles really helps with the weight loss as it helps to burn the fat. It gets so confusing at times to read all the stuff on…

You are looking great! WTG on all the hard work! Keep us posted on how it's going. You are an inspiration to others! : )

You look great! Congradulations on all the hard work. It paid off well! :)

Looking great!! Keep up the hard work!

You look great! WTG!

am 46 How much have you lost? 27 lbs. How long did it take you to lose the weight (and/or issues/attitudes that kept you overweight/obese)? 4 months How long have you kept it off? Still working on my goal. What did you do/are doing to STAY slim and healthy? Drinking my water. I exercise almost 6 days a week, your body…

That's a great start. I lost 10 lbs the first month and then it's usually 2-4 since this. June is my 4th month and so far no weight loss but have lost inches. It should tapper off the next month or so. Lot's of great advice on here and many websites can help too. Keep up the good work and WTG hubby for doing it with you!…

Craving chocolate during your period can be explained by the fact that chocolate contains a large amount of iron (more than in beef liver). Your body needs extra iron during this time, thus the craving. Supposedly the best way to curb this intensive craving is to allow youself a piece or two of high quality dark chocolate…

You look great! Thanks for sharing the pictures! It really does help motivate others!

You look great! WTG on making it to the one year mark! Great work and it's paid off!

You look great and so happy for you!! WTG on staying focused and motivated! You rock!! ; )

Way to go! You look great!

WTG! It just keeps getting better and better. With each pound off you become more determined! :)

I was the same way about going to the gym too when I first started. I know what I'm doing is good for me and the funny thing is there are folks there all different sizes and shape. I started going in the mornings before work at 4:00 a.m. in the mornings because I knew there wouldn't be a lot of people in there. Now I might…

I think counseling is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. I know it did wonders for me while in a bad marriage. Many people are cruel and don't understand when one feels so badly. I use to say thank God for paxil. ; ) Great advice in here. Always seek the advice of your doctor and seek counseling. I wouldn't worry…

I hear you ladies....didn't know there were any 6 ft plus guys anymore. It's wonderful to see you men pull together and support one another. I met someone at the gym where I go and he has lost over 100 lbs since two weeks before Christmas and his wife has lost around 60 lbs. It's interesting to hear him talk about some of…

Heading towards 47 in August! Always need a buddy for motivation! Feel free to add me. Linda, TN
