Right there with ya! I lost 115 pounds last year and then proceeded to gain 36 back over the last six stress-filled months! Spent some time upset with myself. And then, yesterday, I woke up and decided to stop dwelling on it and just get busy again. As people here have said, what's done is done. This is your new starting…

Depends on the person, but it's definitely possible. I lost 56 pounds in 100 days. I still have 40+ to go. Eat healthy. Work out every day. And, make sure you listen to your body if it is telling you to back off.

Great topic! 7074 + 65 = 7139

Welcome to MFP! Not drinking 12 sodas a day alone will make a huge difference! Good for you.

Wow! You look incredible. Good for you. Congrats on all of your success!

Wow! You look awesome! Love the before and after photos! Congratulations on your success and I wish you continued success in the future.

Final April weigh-in... 274..0! Fifteen pounds lost in April. Not quite my original goal, but I am still pretty thrilled. Hope you April was good and, if not, hope your May is even better!

Congrats Emily! That is awesome! I love the picture and now plan on doing the same thing when I see that site for the first time in over 15 years!

LOL! While I may be changing my lifestyle, I do not plan on changing my gender. Anthony Marinucci here... nice to meet you all. And thanks on the congrats!

Friday weigh-in... 276.6. Down 12.4 from the start of the challenge with a little over a week to go! Good luck everyone.

YES YOU CAN! Awesome story Thaedra. Keep up the momentum!

Still going strong and I will report back on Friday. But, just had to tell everyone that I just passed the 10 pound goal this morning... 10.2 to be exact. Challenge conquered with 10 more days to lose more!

Friday update! Down to 280.0. Nine pounds down, one pound to go!

Thanks for the welcome jageesy and MiniRose2B. You are both right, this site is awesome and definitely has helped my journey.

Thank you mromnek and Rhonda for the welcome and the support! Looks like both of you are doing great as well!

Sorry, forgot to post my Friday update. I started the month at 289. I currently weigh 282. Three pounds from the April Challenge goal and 12 from my own personal goal!

Thanks Carmen! This site definitely has helped! Thanks Karen!

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

Well, since my goal is 270 by the end of the month and I started at 289... I am in! Good Luck to everyone!

Other than the few days I was in Vegas, I have been on the treadmill 45 minutes per day. I try to do some weight lifting on the machines for another 20 minutes. And, if i have anything left, I may hit the racquetball or shoot some hoops. If I eventually get down to my goal weight, I may dial it back some. But, at the…

That's awesome! I look forward to the day that I move out of the "obese" category as well! Good for you.

At this point, there is no way I can eat that many calories. I am struggling just to eat all of the calories allotted based on a 2 pound per week weight loss. I imagine in time I will get closer. But, given that I am at least 100 pounds overweight, I am not that worried about it. So far, I feel great and am losing…
