120 pounds released! Before and current pics.
Started around 280 lbs, size 3x-4x tops and 24W-26W pants. Lost my first 40 pounds about 7 years ago, and stopped when some major health issues reared their ugly heads. Luckily, I maintained. Started back up again March of last year. It's been a slow, but mostly steady ride. I am currently 150 lbs, size S-M tops and 6-8…

112 pounds gone! 13 to go....
I've posted a few before-and-current pics before, but it's been a while. I started in 2005, when my highest recorded weight was 270 (but I estimate I topped out at about 280). I lost about 40 pounds by the end of 2006. Had some major medical issues introduce themselves to me, but luckily, only gained back 5 pounds and…

My cats refuse to eat with me
I work a very hard job being disabled and limited in what I can do during the day. The cats ignore me all day and just sleep. And I'm the one with the disabilities! I could go without lunch, but I don't, but they don't even pay attention then. All I want to do is come home at the end of my day of being home all day and…

100 pounds gone! With pic!
This week, I finally reached 100 pounds gone from my highest recorded weight, which was 269. On Friday, I weighed in at 168.4. I still have about 25 pounds left until my goal weight, but I know I can do it. I've come so far. While I am definitely proud of myself, seeing the numbers, I'm still having a lot of personal…

Latest Before-and-Current: 90 pounds down so far WITH PIC!
My new before-and-current pic. I took this last night when I realized that most of my clothes that replaced clothes that replaced clothes were starting to get too big themselves, even though the scale's been pretty steady. So I brought out the jeans that were too tight before, and the shirt that was new but too tight.…

One Year Lifestyle Change Journey
Today marks my one-year anniversary of embarking on a lifestyle change aimed at making me more healthy, and shed some pounds in the process. Woohoo! Since March 1, 2012, I have released 63 pounds, and many, many inches. (Next week will be measurement week, since I didn't take them immediately at the start.) I have gone…

Doing before and after picture collages: Software?
A lot of people splice together two or more images for before-and-after (or during!) picture comparisons. What software does everyone use to do that? I'd like to start making some. I have a Mac, but would be curious for any platform. Thank in advance!

I am DONE with 30DS!
Today, I finished Day 10 of Level 3! WOOHOO! Never thought I could get through this, but I proved myself wrong. I will take final measurements tomorrow morning. In Level 1, I thought I was gonna die for the first few days. But by the end, I was able to follow Natalie more than Anita, though I still had to make some…

Level 3 Chatter
Oh boy. Starting Level 3 tomorrow. I'm playing an orchestra concert, so I'll probably wait until after I get home to ensure I can still play the concert!!

Question about frequency
This may seem like a stupid question, but I've never really seen it discussed: Is this program intended to have you do the workout every day? 10 days straight of Level 1, then switch to Level 2...10 days of that, then switch to Level 3 and 10 days of that? Not clear if there are supposed to be "rest" or "easier" days...but…

80 pounds gone so far! Over halfway! (With pic!)
I've been overweight my whole life. Then when major depression hit in high school, I started gaining faster and things got way out of control by the time I was in my first year of college and they years thereafter. And while I hated how I looked, I didn't really care enough to do anything about it. Cue a marriage and…
