So I began my journey at 284.5 pounds and have since lost a little over 100 pounds with the assistance of my band...my brother who was 320 saw this and has started to exercise and watch what he eats and has lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks...feels good to know you are also helping your loved ones.

I had three this past weekend...I went away to visit a friend I have not seen in 6 months. He plays basketball. After the game, he told me that he was looking for me in the stands and he did not recognize me!!! The other was while out buying an outfit to wear to the game, I was able to purchase a shirt in a medium and jeans in a size 12!!! Pretty good beings I was wearing a 2xl and a size 22 just 7 months ago! =) While wearing this outfit, I decided to take a pic and post it on Facebook (first pic in a couple months), almost 60 comments with one saying how beautiful I was...It was a good weekend!

Gratz to you and your bro my other half he lost 72lbs and no band, just eating bigger portions of what i eat, so our healthy lifestyle has now benefited both of us and hopefully our 20 yrs together will now become 40 yrs or even more. Its good to know that you can help others make the the decision to change their lives too.

I was heavier when I met my future hubby. Prob about 20 lbs more. He joined the navy, we got married. He lost weight and I gained more. Two kids and 15 yrs later I was about 60 lbs more than him. Now that I weigh less I don't plan on going back. He came home Tuesday with all these Vitamins and has decided to get in shape:). I'm glad we are getting healthier for ourselves and our kids.

I drink the EAS ones as well every morning for breakfast. The nutritionist told me to keep anything I eat 5 grams of sugar or under!

Like title says, I'm down 88 pounds already, from 356 to 268, feels amazing! I have followed my doctors diet to a T, hit the gym 4 days a week to weight train, and walk/jog 8+ miles a week. I feel amazing and would like to thank everyone encouraging words and advice here on this forum. Here's to my upcoming season of semi pro football! Without God and this life altering choice I have made I know it would not be possible. 176 pounds down here I come!!!!

You are still healing. It is okay. Everything will work itself out!

I have a 16 year old sister and she got a couple pair of new jeans for Christmas. She was trying them on and had a hard time getting them buttoned. The last size I bought were a size 14 and these were juniors size 13, so I said let me try them on. They went on with no problem and were lose at the waist. My mom even said they looked better on me. Needless to say, she was not happy at all, especially when she read my Facebook status that said "Best Christmas present is knowing I can fit into my 16 year old sister's jeans!" She told me I was embarrassing and she was starting her diet tomorrow, forget the first of the year!

I honestly believe that it is because of the exercise. I do the Wii fit for at least 45 mins a day, resistance training of some sort (free weights or bands, I just got a medicine ball for Christmas that I can not wait to try out) and 45 mins of cardio a day. I try to make sure my calories are between 1000 and 1200 each day and that I am getting my Protein. That is really about it. If I want something though, I do not deny myself of it or I find I will want it until I have it. Exercise is key though

This is great...I got yelled out for going in the staff entrance of an office at school yesterday...She thought I was a student. I really had to laugh at that one, especially beings I have been working there for 7 years!

My mom told me at Thanksgiving that I was at a good stage of my weight loss and did not need to lose any more....I then had to inform her that I (at that time) was still in the 200's. She could not believe it. I do not know if it is because my weight has been coming off quickly or I just haven't weighed under 215 pounds in many many years, but I know I definitely need to lose more! Congrats on your weight loss!!
