i started in march 04 at 162 pounds-size 9, currently im 108 pounds-size 1..the total weight loss took about 14 months which is fine to me because it seemed alot faster then that because you are literally watching your weight fall off and that keeps you motivated to get to your goal weight no matter how long it may take, its well worth it!..and congrats on how far youve come so fast!

Started in 2001-ish at 248 lbs - size 20w (I just wore sweatpants 99% of the time, so I don't know how big I actually was!! )
Got down to 135-130 lbs in 2003 - size 3/4
Gained back up to 160, but now back to the low 150's - size 6 or 7, depending on the cut of the thighs

Talking Oh SuperMom I can relate


I can relate supermom.... I
am a size 14 now at 170 and
my long term goal is a size 8
because I have never been an 8
I went from a 6x chubby kid to a
size 12

i have notice that you sorta get stuck
and that is when you cut the carbs more
to meat and eggs. That is why I am
doing now. When I get to a size 8
I will be pleased. But I know how it is
to be stuck for 3-4 weeks at 169-171
floating around not going anywhere

good luck on getting to a size 4-6 I do NOT
think that is TOO THIN.. like most would say
that is TOO thin... I think 4-6 is perfect if that
is the weight you dream to be.

Sure I would be OK at the weight where
I am at as I have not been HERE in 12 years,
BUT my dream is a size EIGHT
8 which is a SINGLE digit number

soooooo kewl

Sharon

start 300 to 225 to 169 goal 135 maybe 125?????
