Hi.. I'm new here and wanted to post my progress thus far. I've been trying to keep track of my every move by journaling.. I find it helps to keep me motivated which is a good thing as it seems it's getting tougher and tougher to keep my weight loss going in the right direction the more I lose. I have 4 young children I need to be able to keep up with, 1 being a 6 year old with Cerebral Palsy.. so losing this 160+ extra pounds has not only been a challage for me .. but something that REALLY needs to be done regardless. Anyhow.. here are my pics. Thanks for having such a motivating place for people like us to get support.

Wow looking so much smaller and so much healthier. Keep going and dont give up. You look beutiful now imagine what you will look like in another year!
 
Holy Crow.. I didn't expect all the great feedback like that.. that totally surprised me. Thanks everyone.. half those things you said I've never heard said about me before.. so I'm pretty shocked. Thanks again, I really appreciated that. You sure know how to make a person feel good about themselves. Something that hasn't happened in .. well, forever it seems.
 
What are you doing to lose the weight? What are you eating? What exercises are you doing? Let us know your secret...:D

Hi.. I'm doing Kimkins low carb/ low fat diet plan (well, at least most of the time.. I tried to do weight watchers for awhile but my weight was at a stand still for like 2 months, it just wasn't working for me and hasn't in the past either).. and I also do resistance band training.. I have a book by Michael Thurmond that I follow. I also do 30 min's on the exercise bike twice a day .. but not always faithful with that. I'm just getting into the exercise part,.. still working on making it a habit.

Thanks again everyone.. =0)
 
Are you going to step it up from bands to resistance weight training? Also, have you thought about incorporating some swimming along with your biking?

You're doing fantastic!

This is actually funny sounding to me.. but yes I would love to jump into weight training someday. The reason I say the whole things sounds funny is because coming from 310+ pounds and being that size most of my adult life, exercising was just .. well, pretty much a "NON" thing. I was joking with my 11 year old son recently saying that being 310+ pounds was like carrying HIM around on my back all these years. No wonder I could hardly move! (He weighs close to what I have lost). So yeah, just to hear that there is a future for me that involves any form of "weight training" is just unbelievable. oh, and swimming, that's a great idea. My son takes swimming and volleyball classes at the local college in the homeschoolers program.. I should look into what would be available for me there during those times. Thanks for the tip.
