I think we all feel like that at times. I have dropped 88 pounds and still have those days. Some days I get excited and realize how far I have come...others I feel I just can't make anything happen. I agree with karogs too. You are getting to the point where others will definitely start notice then you are going to be…

There are no words that would do justice to what you have accomplished. Everyone here is so proud of you and I am sure you are of yourself. You are incredible. Congratulations and enjoy the new life you have made for yourself. It is well deserved!

That is fantastic!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the kind words. A year ago, I would never have believed I could have been here. Now I know it can be done and I look forward to post the pictures of my progess in a few months. I am excited about all the things I am going to be able to do this spring. Tops on my list are horseback riding…

I don't think you have a choice on the new wardrobe. You look great! Congratulations.

I am 48 between 5'9" and 5'10". I started in July at 306.6 lbs. I am now down to 222.4. My goal is to get to 155.

I am 5'9" and 48 years old. Thanks again for all the encouragement!

Thanks everyone. I started the first part of July. I have stayed the course with rewards for myself along the way. The things I have learned is that it has to be for you and small changes add up to be big one. I started making little changes and one day looked back and realized I was doing maybe not all but most of the…

Great job. I like the fact that your photos are in Vegas. I bet the itinerary from one to the other are significaticantly different. You have done terrific. Be proud of yourself. You look terrific.

I have been getting rid of mine too. It is really hard to take the first step but once you do it is a great feeling. It feels like you just had a burden taken off your back. I actually almost backed out the first time. One of the girls at work serves as my fashion police and tells me when it is time to retire clothes if I…

Thanks so much everyone for the kind words! I really appreciate it.

My Fitness Pal. It takes a while to get use to all the acrynoms. You will see NSV a lot too. That is Non Scale Victory.

Thanks for helping with the pictures!

Great job. We always buy in buik because it is a lot cheaper. I suggest investing in a vacuum sealer. My husband likes to plant a garden in the summer and it is great for putting vegetables in the freezer. They do not get freezer burn and taste terrific. If you are tired when you get home, you can put the bag in a pot of…

I have starting taking taking the stairs at work when I get an opportunity. I haven't been logging anything but have been meaning to try and research it. I am finding that most common answer is 10 calories per flight of steps. It does depend on many factors but that seems to be the consensus.

This week I realized, I don't need a new car to have room between me and the steering wheel. The automotive fairy snuck in during the night and moved my seat back.

That is terrific! The first steps are the hardest and you have already made great progress!. You are definitely right that it is the little things that count. That is not only what keeps us going but how you change your lifestyle too. I woke up one day and realized I was doing everything that we all know is the ideal on…

Yesterday I was packing up my clothes that I had undergrown to take to Goodwill. I had some skinner clothes that I had put away. I have been meaning to go look through them. I opened up the first box and on top was a pair of dress pants with the tag on in just my new size. Now that is a good shopping day!
