1 year maintaining!
Hi All! Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary date of 2 things: Reaching a total weight loss of 225 pounds and meeting my goal weight! I weighed in that morning at 119.7. Yesterday I weighed in at 117.2. So I think that makes me someone who has defied the odds and kept the weight off for a year. I know the journey doesn't…

Working the back
Can I get some advice here? I've been lifting weights for about 2 years now. I use free weights and also my Bowflex. (No hating on the Bowflex please, I LOVE it). Anyway, my arms and legs are pretty muscular, as are my shoulders. But my back has NOTHING. What am I missing?

200 pounds lost as of today!!
After bring stuck on a miserable plateau, I finally dropped a pound today putting me at 200 pounds lost! In February 2010 I went to the doctor's for something completely unrelated to my weight. But, of course, I got weighed and could not believe I weighed 344 pounds. You would think that this would be a wake up call, but…

Just saying....
March 2010: Weighed 344 pounds and walked 2 miles in 40 minutes. March 2013: Weighed 118 pounds and ran 13.13 miles in 1:48:10.

As the soccer announcers say....
GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In February of 2010 I went to the doctor's and weighed in at 344 pounds. Today I weighed in at 118. That's 2.5 years and 226 pounds lost through diet and exercise. Here was me at a wedding reception in August of 2008: And this is from our Christmas card in 2009: And here are a couple of pics…

Can't lose the last few!!
This is just a general rant! My goal has been to get down to 115-120 pounds. But for the last 3 weeks I have been bouncing between 123-125. I am so frustrated. I could live with being 125, I guess, but I really think I would look better with another 5-10 pounds gone!! I run 4 days per week weight lift 3, and typically also…

4 more run days...
Then I'm having surgery and will not be able to exercise for 6-8 weeks. I'm having a full body lift to remove all my excess skin. 2 years ago, exercise involved walking the dogs a couple miles. Now I run 20-25 mpw plus weight lifting and other workouts. I'm totally stressing out about this. Hopefully the results will be…

6 weeks no exercise :((
I am having a full circumferential body lift on 4/18 to remove all my excess skin. I know this will make a huge difference in my life and I'm excited. BUT the surgery will require me to not work out for 6 weeks. I work out daily - most days 2x a day. I'm so scared of losing strength and endurance and gaining weight!!

Skin removal surgery scheduled...
Today I scheduled a full circumferential skin removal surgery for 4/18. I am excited and nervous!!! As much as being nervous about the surgery itself, I am so scated about being laid up for 6 weeks and not being able to exercise. I haven't had a day without exercise since November!!!!

Anyone had a lower body lift (circumferential)?
Anyone here had this done? I saw a plastic surgeon today and I am torn about having this done versus an extended abdominoplasty. I am also curious about the recovery time...

Wish me luck!!
Tomorrow I see a plastic surgeon to talk about removing my excess skin. Despite doing everything "right" like exercising, moisturizing, losing weight slowly and drinking tons of water, I was so obese for so long, I have a massive amount of extra skin on my stomach. I'm anxious to see what he says as well as if my insurance…

Having a party for myself - pity party that is...
Having a bad day and am just looking for some support. I started this journey around April of 2010. I weighed 344 pounds. To date I have lost 199 pounds. Since Xmas day I have only lost 5 pounds and I haven't lost a damn thing in 2 plus weeks. I'm very discouraged. To make matters worse I am dealing with a TON of extra…
