You can do it! Once you get your mind set to it and start exercising that determination muscle, it all kind of flows together. I would never have thought I could go from a size 24/26 pants to a size 4 - but I did! I started putting on weight in my mid-20s after I got out of the Air Force, so I had about 25 years of being overweight. A year to lose it seems insignificant in comparison.
I commend everyone who is just starting for getting going. I know it's hard to think about losing more than 100 pounds but if you break it up into smaller goals it really does help. I set myself some goals as I went along - the first was to lose 20 pounds. Along the way I set things like "get under 200" "weigh less than my driver's license says" "weigh less than my husband" - you get the idea!
Stay OP and you will be amazed at your own success. It has been hard sometimes, but so worth it! You are worth the investment in yourself!
