Hey everyone! I'm Gabrielle. I just found this site and am so excited! I have lost 140lbs so far and have at least 100 more to lose until goal, but I am well on my way! I'm a Zumba instructor, so I have my cardio down, but have been pretty ignorant about lifting. I realize how essential it is to get me where I want to go and I'm so determined. I've shared a few pics of my progress. My heaviest weight was around 430lbs! I've started a plan and I am working towards the lean/toned body I've always wanted!! All of your pics are amazing! Happy to make and surround myself with new fitness focused friends! Any encouragement is greatly appreciated. Has anyone been through such an extreme change such as massive weight loss and toning? Any advice? Thanks.

Sadly, I was afraid you would comment. I was hoping to get comments from actual people, not a troll. I realize that I have a long while to go, but I work on it everyday, and am truly determined to reach my goals.
Great job, your face looks totally different. In your original post you said you were kinda ignorant about lifting, I recomend you read some of the "stickys" in the training/lifting forums for some basic help and then go from there.
great job, but i gotta ask... how did u end up to 400 lb? i struggle to kinda gain weight, do im just asking what kinda diet did u hsve b4? no troll too...

When I was obese (200 pounds at 16 years old) I got there with all kinds of "junk" food, and doing minimal physical activity, Mountain Dew, cookies, chips, candy, buffalo wings smothered in ranch; all kinds of calorie dense foods. Wouldn't recommend going that way though, for general health reasons more than anything. Just eat some extra peanut butter/nuts, or cook with olive oil, things like that are easier, though cookies and stuff can be added to help fill out calories; after all, everything in moderation.
I can handle pain, it's regret that I can't stand.
I have been very obese since the age of 6!!! I weighed around 140lbs then, 180lbs at age 8, 200lbs at 10, 271 by 13 and then 430+ at 22. Enough was enough!

Great job, you should be really proud of what you have accomplished. Never give up, you will reach your goal soon enough!!
I'm thinking if we ignore the troll long enough he will go away soon enough. He is just jealous of what people have you accomplished.

Awesome progress. The numbers you listed for where you were at as a child are incredible. Whoever was in charge of your diet was beyond negligent. Stopping all that momentum and changing course deserves mad respect.
