weight loss stories

Wow! You look great! I love to see the difference in people when they just eat right and work out, even though all those programs like WW are great, its good to see people doing it the old fashioned way! Keep up the good work!

Congrats! You looks great.
I lost 35 lbs in 10 months back in 2005. I stayed on a 2,000 calorie a day diet. I was inspired by my doctor writing me a prescription for cholesterol pills. I never did take them, lost the weight and my cholesterol went down. Although I am not thin, I'm much happier and feel better! I eat a lot more 'carefully' now.

When my son was in the hospital for so long and we lived up there, I ate like a horse all day long but still lost 17 pounds in 7 weeks, just walking around from this place to that place at the hospital.

I have managed to keep it off but when I am working on the boat, I gain 5 to 10 pounds per 28 day trip and loose it the 28 days I am off and I keep working on trying to get a pound or two extra off until I get back to the weight I was 10 years ago.

I eat 3 meals a day on the boat but have cut out almost all the carbs and only eat meat once or twice a week. At home when I am off, I mainly only eat salads, fruits and now and then, meat.

I've lost about fifty pounds...I am struggling to loose about fifteen more...its on and off...I can loose weight whenerver I need to, but sometimes I just want a burger...this month is going to be hardcore watch my weight month though because I have a big dance coming up and I want to look awsome for my boyfriend.

The first two are me from 20 pounds ago...digital pics werent around when I was 30 pounds heavier...but maybe I'll scan one later.

The third was at my skinniest...I am between 5 and ten pounds more than that depending on my weekly consumption..

And the last two are average me.

BTW, Congrats opn loosing weight!!! I know how hard it can be :-/. You look great!

A lot of people say I've lost weight, and I've really been trying, but I can't see the results in myself. I'll post two pics. The first one is from a little over a year ago and the second one is from about a month ago.

I lost weight by doing weight watchers. The thing that I think most people don't understand about it is that it isn't a "diet". It really is just losing weight the old fashioned way, the only difference is that you have a support group. By checking in once a week you are held accountable for making sure you eat right and exercise. There isn't nothing on the program that you can or can't eat, it isn't resctrictive like a diet, instead it teaches you how to eat the food you normally eat but eat them in right amounts. I loved meeting with a group once a week, I think that without them I couldn't have done it. It's been nearly two years and even though I haven't gone to a meeting in over a year and a half I've still kept all the weight off because of what I learned about nutrition.
