Who used to weigh 200+lbs and lost it?
Hey ladies,
Im just looking for some encouragement today. I weigh over 200 pounds (247 to be exact) and there are days, like today, that I dont think I'll ever lose this weight.
Two years ago I was busting out of a size 26 and weighed nearly 300 pounds and almost 60%bf. Today, depending on the clothes, Im wearing an 18-22, and weigh 247 with 49%bf. Ive maintained this weight and size for over a year now and I want to move on but I keep hitting a mental wall of discouragement.
Maybe Im scared. Im not sure.
Im just wondering if any of you started out this heavy and lost your weight naturally by proper eating and exercise and now look SMASHING?
Thanks!!

Is 190 lbs. close enough???
Hi there,
It was a long time ago, high school to be exact, but I weighed 190 lbs! I gradually got into Jazzercise back then and lost a lot of wieght. That was my introduction inot exercise. I come from a family of obese, sedentary people. It CAN be done!! Through my 20' and 30's I mostly maintained my weight loss with the occaisional bout with 10-20 lbs here and there every fewe years usually brought on by stressful situations! Food is not a way to deal with problems.
I got married nearly 3 years ago and in my first 2 years of "newly wed bliss" managed to add 35 lbs back to my frame. I decided in Aug 2005 that that was enough and marched myself to Weight Watchers. It was just what I needed to get my act back togther. Now I am down 39 lbs and back to heavy training like I did prior to meeting my husband. So, yes it can be done with a focused plan! I've posted my before and after pictures!
