Default Inspiration

One year ago I lost 60#'s in 4 months and was the "biggest loser" at work - winning 250.00. Now, a little over one year later I gained back the 60 and another 10 - for an all time high which I am too embarrassed to even mention.

I have 155 pounds to lose and I am back on the biggest loser race - weighing in tonight and paying my 20.00.

If I ever need hope and determination it is now. I HAVE to believe I Can Do It. After reading your story and seeing your amazing pictures I have hope.....

Two questions, in the beginning what was your mainstay for the diet and how long did it take you to lose all the weight - in the beginning did you exercise a lot?

please email me back at bpavich~hotmail.com

thank you,
bp

Ahh thanks everyone! There were so many people who inspired me on this board, and still do.
imlosingit..hey girl! I have been so busy with my mom lately. She's having dizzy spells and the doctors can't figure out just whats causing this. She's had so many tests, now she's going to physical therapy 2 times a week. I'm glad I can take her and stay with her during the day, just takes up some time. But I'm here

CON-FRICKIN-GRATS!

What awesome weight loss!

i feel you on the Pepsi thing, I was having about 5-6 cans a day at one point. Cutting that out has really been a huge thing. It was my one really bad thing! I didn't eat badly everyday, mostly just a bag of chips ont he weekends, but the Pepsi was ruining my life LOL

I'm so happy for your loss, it is such an inspiration.

How inspiring. I'm at that place (not as heavy but the emotions) as you were. I'm so tired of up & down and right now I'm back up. I wish there was a thread (is there?) where you posted what you ate... not everyday, but many days. I need an idea of what to eat. Congratulations.
