I am new to this online community, and I've just signed up for this group. I kind of googled that I am looking to lose a substantial amount of weight (about 200 pounds) and this challenge came up. I figured it might be helpful to be in a community of people who are experiencing similar weight loss aspirations, and achieving them. Just wanted to say hello :o)
7 lbs gone in the last week! Really watching & logging what I eat & drink, and making sure I make it to the gym every day. :)
BTW: This is significant for me, I kissed the 300's goodbye! YESSS!!!
That's awesome!! I'm on my way to kissing the 300s goodbye too. I still have a ways to go but I'm getting there little by little. Keep up the great work!

Today was a really good day for me. I did 100 min on the elliptical and 30 min in the pool. Still in the 2's. I'm determined not to see those 3's again. Taking it one day at a time :) Hope you all are having an awesome day !!!!!
Wow, that is awesome! I have a hard enough time staying on it for 30 minutes let alone 100 minutes, bravo to you! Did you have a good book, or how did you keep yourself distracted so that you weren't always looking to see how much time you have left?
No cover ups. Just my ipod with high energy music :)

Started my journey here in July of 2009. Two and a half years later, I have shed 107 lbs, restored myself to greater mobility than before I lost the ability to walk due to a traumatic C-section. I can not only walk again, but also run, lift heavy things and care for my 6 yo daughter independently. With Z-Health training and Kettlebells, I have repaired the decades old and newer injuries to my body, re-educated my neural system and restored and improved my mobility, establishing strength and speed along the way. I have enough energy to care for others in my community as well. The system that saved my life, my health, my family and my future was so awesome that I got certified to help others the way I have been helped. Now I have my own personal training/life coaching business and spend my time raising my daughter in joy and serving my community. You can do it. If you need help, drop me a message. I have around 60-85 more pounds to shed but am no longer focused on my own weight loss as it has become so easy that I don't need to think about it any longer. I only focus on having a good life, eating clean, whole real foods and training mean. The results in pictures are available on Facebook. If you drop me a message, I'll be happy to friend you there. If I did it, so can you. It helps to know how and the conventional wisdom from my doctors and books got me nowhere. I had to educate myself, do my own research and pay attention to what really worked for my body. It was worth it. You are too!
Congratulations on all of that! What a great testimonial!
Is it sad that I'm happy to see other people in my weight range?? I know we all want to be healthier people and work this together. I need accountability.
It's not sad. I felt the same way. Glad to see we're here and holding ourselves accountable! Honesty is a key ingredient to weightloss! :)
Just a little about myself. I am 57 and weigh 415 Lbs. I also have COPD and A fib. I walk with a walker, and need both my knees replaced; Doctors will not perform the surgery until I Louse 100 Lbs.
Up until a couple of weeks ago my cup was ½ empty; but as I set here today I see it as ½ full. I see it running over with an abundance of life, joy and energy! Death no longer knocks at my door; the knowledge that I can overcome any adversity is undeniable! The power is ours, we shill all succeed at our quests. Adventurously pressing forward to attain our goals!! May God bless you and I will see you at the finish line.

I started this dare at the beginning of this year. I already am enjoying going to the gym every day. I am even jogging for 5 minutes on the treadmill already! I have increased energy and look forward to preparing my meals ahead of time. I like this feeling; I just need to reflect on this if I start to stray.
I currently weigh 332 lbs. I want to lose 200lbs. I think a challenge to lose 3lbs a week is reasonable and I am up for the challenge.
Hey all. I've been away for awhile due to being sick with a wicked cold. No workout in 2 weeks. I hope to ease back into my routine next week. I rang in the new year with cold meds and a pillow. I almost made it thru 2011 without a cold. 2012 is so going to be my year, I will be talking my multi-vitamins. I;ve missed you guys. Hope your holidays were awesome!!!!
Hey Everyone...
My name is Kamilah (Milah) and I'm not really new to this community, but then again I am! I joined in here back in July I believe it was and fell all the way off track due to grad school and lack of motivation... But I'm Baaaaa-aaaaccccckkkk :) I am in need of constant motivation and have been doing pretty good here lately like the last 3 months... I've gotten pretty active in the gym (love going to Zumba EVERY Monday & Tuesday) and I've learned to push myself despite of not wanting to! The New Year is sooo cliche` for wanting to change and lose weight which is why I started back in November... Since then I've lost 11 lbs and 16 inches but due to the frappe's and chicken wings I have an addiction to, I'm maintaining this lose instead of loosing more... So I figured, meeting newbies and catching up with oldies would help with my success and progress so here I am! My current weight is 361 and I'm 5'2... Geesh a lot right? Yeah I know, which is why I'm trying to change so don't judge... Thank God, I do not have any medical or health problems due to my weight besides Polycystic Ovarian Disorder, but I'm working on that... So, help me and I'll help you... Thanks and Happy Losing!!!
