You looked unhappy in the before pictures and literally like hollywood confident and happy in the after photos. Amazing and inspiring. Literally had an emotional reaction.

I got a new doctor this past year who ordered a fasting blood test. The results were mostly good then it said that my cholesterol was above normal...I knew I had gained weight, but the potential health problems were what changed me. I also could no longer fit into any of my clothes ....i could squeeze into them and pretend…

Congrats that is such great news. I LOVE that dedication is paying off in such a positive way for you <3 Keep it up

congrats on the attention from the hard work. :) I've always had a hard time picking up on subtle pick up line cues till after the fact :) flirting is fun :) hope it happens more and more often

1. If you cant stop drinking coffee/soda/fruit juice then for each cup you drink drink a glass of water 2. If you are already trying rationalize why you should put off your workout DO IT !!! thank yourself later 3. Don't deny cravings but Do work them into your calorie intake (working out to have that dessert isnt cheating…

Born in California and stationed in the North Country... I was hoping that it wouldn't snow so early. That is unless it ends early too lol. I have gone through one winter now so I'm aware of whats coming. I miss mild weather lol

that is amazing congrats :) Thanks for all the well wishes. I'll have to buy a few new outfits for work and play as my bonus. The stuff that I no longer fit will go to Good Will

Sometimes that hungry gross feeling is actually your body saying its dehydrated. Try to have smaller more frequent meals A bowl of salad will fill you up and it wont eat up calories. Also if it feels like you need more food...exercise and eat those calories. Then there are the times you just want/need to eat more. I wait…

I tip my hat to you sir! Congrats! I love seeing these posts. Good job! and you look great! I know you feel great too. Being healthy and fit feels awesome. Now what? maybe try to use your new skills at fitness to set yourself a goal like running for a cause, joining a local sports league.

That is a win! congrats on the loss. The prices for clothes is different in the misses vs lane bryant. So you are saving money too woooo! :)

Like a boss! congrats on 20 lbs down.

Fantastic Job! :) 20 down is huge.

congrats :) keep it up

Have you told your doctors this fact about your fear of eating or complete lack of meeting that minimum calorie goal? The doctors need more then just blood tests and weight from you. They need your input as well. Side effects from drugs are not always physical they can be psychological that manifest physically. I think…

mini accomplishment? thats huge! congrats

that is my kind of optimism. Great job on your success. I'm glad to hear that this website is leading to so much success.

Thank you :) I started with C25k and started to do some mild strength training in the beginning. This helped me have a goal and to not let myself overdo it. The program helps gradually turn your walking into running. I now switch back and forth from the treadmill to elliptical training so I could build up my stamina. I do…

congrats! and hurray for bandos :)

I had to put the program on hiatus while I nursed a stress injury. I discovered after a few days of rest that jumping on the elliptical can actually keep your cardio up to par. I just went back to the treadmill and though I ran a minute slower I was able to run for a full 15mins straight. ( I left off at 15mins run 15 mins…

Do you work out everyday? You should allow yourself some rest days so you can recuperate and not give yourself a stress injury. Your body will adjust and sadly it takes time. Also taking on a lot too soon will leave you tired and discouraged. I began exercising (by this i mean 30 min walks on the treadmill) before dieting…

C25k is my exorcize regime right now. I follow this c25k program http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=26 Im on week 6, and I just finished run 1 of this week. It is awesome to see my progress since week 1. To answer the QA 1. where? ---I run on the treadmill in the gym room of my apartment (no…

I'm new on here and I can see a big difference in the before and after. Good job! losing 40lbs is a journey. I would say taking measurements will be best to show you the difference(2 sizes is almost 4 inches isnt it?). As far as I can tell you lost weight overall but from the post i can see your face slimmed down and…
