Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I do feel very proud, happy and healthier. Actually I feel darn right incredible! The plan I am on is counting calories with walking as exercise. I walk 5-6 times a week some of those are hikes in the mountains. The walking has helped me immensely. At first I started with 30 minute walks but now I go for usually 2 hours and a lot more when I hike. I love to walk, its my time to think, daydream about my goals and think about things I have going on. The walking has toned up my legs a lot.

Food wise I always eat over 1500 calories a day, usually around 1800. I tend to eat the same stuff for breakfast and lunch because I enjoy them and they fill me up. I still probably eat at McDonalds once a month maybe twice, but my kids actually prefer subway now lol. I have found that soda is something I can live without but chocolate isn't lol I will have a candy bar maybe once or twice a week and other weeks I won't have that overwhelming urge for one. Nothing is off limits for me I have things that I can live without, and things that I still eat but no longer 4-5 servings at once. This is my life and I feel incredible I really do.

Congrats to you, the difference is amazing. You should be proud :D

You look great. Well done!!!

WOW! That is quite the difference. You look fan-freaking-tastic!

Good job you look great! Thanks for motivating me to not eat any junk food tonite =)

You look amazing. Thank you for sharing. It's very encouraging to see your progress!

Wow! You look great!! Congratulations!

You look so good! I love your story. I would love to be able to hike somewhere for two hours but I don't have anyone to watch the kids. Do your kids go with you? And I agree with the others that your legs are gorgeous! Congrats!

Way to go!! You are doing amazing and look wonderful!

Thank you. I am very fortunate that I am a stay at home but both my kids (7 and 9) go to school so I tend to do my big walks while they are gone. When they get home from school they sometimes like to go for a hike and the weekends they like to hike with me also. They do sport practice several times a week and instead of standing watching if I haven't been for a walk that day I walk around the field and watch at the same time. When they were playing hockey I would walk around the ice rink during practice for the whole time we were there. If we havent planned a hike on a weekend day I will get up early and get my walk in before everyone gets up. With summer upon us I will get up early and get my walk in before my husband goes to work, take them for a hike, or just plan on doing it while they are practicing their sports.

Awesome!! You are doing so freaking well!! :D

You look spectacular! :congrat:

Wow you are so skinny! I have a similar starting weight as you and what an inspiration you are! What do you get at Subway? Anything in particular? I always go but then feel lost on what is the best to get...

Oh wow! Looking at your current pictures, I would have never guessed that you were above 200 pounds (earlier in your life)!

YOU LOOK AMAZING. WOW. 75lbs is HUGE! The difference is amazing, and I can only imagine how good your body must feel with all that extra weight gone. I"ve got 53lbs gone..I can't wait to get to 75lbs! woooo hooo! Very motivating, just what I needed this morning! Thanks!

You look great!! ... and I am so glad to hear that someone successful has a plan similar to the one I just started. I am counting calories and walking about 6 days a week. As of right now I am vigorously walking for about 45 minutes a day (3 miles)... and I'm adding more every week. Thanks for being an inspiration!

omg! What a wonderful job you have done! You look great! Keep up the hard work!

:congrat:

You look absolutely awesome!!! Congrats!

You are doing great!
