  • You look so great! Congratulations! And thanks for sharing exactly what you did. Some days I don't have energy or the time for anything more than a walk, and it's pretty cool to know you did it all through walking!
  • Congratulations!!!!!

  • wow you look amazing
  • Thanks everyone!! I found some more old photos of me at 191, so I added those plus some more "after" pictures to the original post.

    Maintenance has been a challenge but I'm still at 141 lbs about 9 months after originally hitting goal. Weddings, vacations to Europe, and summer bbqs resulted in me gaining 8 lbs at the end of summer. I've gotten it off though and am hoping to lose a few more lbs and settle somewhere in the 130's. My life has changed in countless ways as a result of losing weight, I can tell you that it is SO worth it.. It is worth the struggle!

    If u don't mind me asking, what brand of whole wheat wrap do you use? I haven't found any that I really like yet.
    These days I'm eating Smart and Delicious tortillas with my wraps. Pretty good, 100 cals and 13 g fiber. I add in turkey, lettuce, onion, and honey mustard.

    Currently, every day I eat:
    an apple, a pear, Greek yogurt, a veggie salad with balsamic, 1-2 hard boiled eggs, a cheese stick, a turkey wrap, a plain sweet potato, and a luna bar. That's my basic menu most days and i love it! I eat the vast majority of my cals in the morning, and I don't keep any snacks or junk in my apt. I only drink black coffee or sparkling water, and I consume alcohol about 2-3 times a month.

    I walk 3-5 miles a day

    You can do this! Believe in yourself.
    One morning, when I was 190 lbs, I looked in the mirror and said: "what are you doing? Look at yourself. Wake up and smell the coffee". I made the decision then and there that I was done being fat, I was over it. While losing the weight I never even felt tempted to cheat on my diet because I was so motivated, so driven to make a change. You just have to decide "ENOUGH!" and start making those changes. Stick with it!
  • Nice work!!!
  • You look wonderful! Congrats.
  • You look AMAZING!! (I would say sexy, but that might be a bit weird coming from a stranger. True, but weird, lol)

    I'm really inspired by the fact that you eat (almost) the same foods each day. I would be the same - find something I like that fills me up but keeps me within my calorie limits and just repeat each day. Also liking that your only exercise was walking!

    Oh, and did I mention you look great?!!
  • Wow! What a transformation!! Congratulations on all your hard work!!!
  • Thanks for sharing! You look amazing! Gives me hope.
  • Wow. You look amazing. Exactly the weight I'm shooting for. Thanks for the inspiration and congratulations on your achievement!

  • You look great!
