You look great! Congrats.

Julie, what is C25K. Want you to know that you are my encouragement. You started your diet around the same time as I did, yet you have succeeded. I know that I can do it too. What did you do?

YOU LOOK GREAT!! What motivation, I will definitely have to bookmark this thread to keep checking out your success as motivation when I'm feeling like this isn't possible anymore! :)


DAVID- C25k is the couch to 5k plan, you can google it - it's basically a running routine to train you from being a couch potato into running a 5k. I have only done a few days of it, and not recently, but there are a lot of people on here who do it and I"m sure there is a support/info thread on it. Good lucK!

Wow!!! Congratulations!!! You look amazing!!!!

How long did it take to work it all off? I'm on the same boat, but I'm aiming for a 40lb loss.

You look great! Thanks for sharing the pics, very inspirational to me since I have about the same start weight and goal weight as you did.

You look great girl!!!

good job! you look great!

:D Thanks guys!

to answer some questions:

It took me about a year to lose the weight... kind of. i started and stopped for a while, and then started working out more often. one day at work, one of my co-workers said that i looked thinner. i weighed myself, and i had lost 5 pounds, just from exercise. that's when i decided to overhaul my diet. once i did that, the weight came off much more quickly.

right now i'm at about 132, and it feels fantastic! i'm also in the best shape of my life. i do Yoga Booty Ballet, lift weights, and use my elliptical machine, for a total of about 5-6 workouts a week. i've increased my calorie intake so i can continue working out that much without losing much more weight... i LOVE working out. it's such a great stress reliever!

Thanks again for all the positive words!

Great going. nice to read up on your stuff. Very inspirational. The cat is awesom, I have two but the one looks just like yours her name is Nala. Enjoy life
