I'm no speed demon. This first picture is in May '04. I had already lost a few pounds and really did not want my picture taken but I'm awfully glad I did now.
I then started counting calories and walking (which in time morphed into walk/jog intervals and regular resistance exercise)
On Sunday July 15 my little scale upstairs said just a hair under 120 lbs and I thought I looked particularly good for church.
My thoughts on my process that may help you ... so I bounced a few times, so it took a few years ... I feel good now.
