40 pounds!
 

I know that compared to some of the wonderful success stories here it isn't that much, but I just wanted to share. I have lost forty pounds since I started back in January. I just wanted to say that it's amazing what you can do with the right mindset.

I am no longer obese :) and although I still have a long way to go I know now that it is achievable. Stick with it guys and gals, it truly is worth it!

****congratulations*****

Are you kidding?! 40 lbs is hugh. That's an entire toddler. congratulations!

40 pounds is a lot of weight to drop!!! That's soooo awesome.

Awesome job!!!! Keep up the great work and celebrate your success =)

Don't ever say ONLY 40 pounds! When you started out you had all of that hanging on you...now you don't! Excellent! In January, when you actually started, I talked about getting serious! I thought I had...not so much! Now it's May and I'm still plugging along toward my 40.

Congratulations!:)

Thanks guys. I will say one thing for sure, I couldn't have done it without fitday and the inspiration of some of the incredible weight loss stories I have read here. You guys are amazing :)

Please share a little how you accomplished this 40 lbs. weight loss with the rest of us. Tips on your amazing success!!!!! Did you feel hungry at first? What is a typtical day for you, etc?

My six year old daughter weighs 39 lbs, that's no small feat! Congrats!

40 lbs = 160 sticks of butter no longer on your thighs:D

Sorry for not getting back to you. I started this back on the 4th January. I was over 200lbs (to my horror, I hadn't been on the scales in a while!) I am now just over the 50lb weight loss mark. I eat around 1000 cals a day which is fine for me but might not be enough for others. ( I am only 5'1 and small-framed). It doesn't sound like much but what I do eat is always non processed, non-white, and not packaged.

Eggs, fruit (bananas, I love my bananas lol) veg, fish, chicken etc. The only bread I eat is WW malted danish. Lots and lots of water.

If I am eating out I don't stray too much, and it gets easier and easier to think and make the right choices as time goes by. I am not on a diet as such, I just choose to eat healther. (the word diet is trigger for cheating imho).

Good luck with your weight loss, and thanks for the encouragement guys, I just wanted to let you all know that if an incorrigible fatty like me can lose a bit of weight then anyone can do it!
