It's a good idea to do this as a little extra motivation. Good Luck!! It took me about 5 and a half to 6 months to lose 75lbs. And I did it the right way. I exercised at least 6 days per week. I ate 5 small, healthy meals per day. And I never deprived myself. If i wanted a treat, I had it!! It worked. Really well.

Hi, I need to lose about 60 pounds or so, but I feel like such a useless blob. No matter what I try it seems like I'm not losing. I used to be 150lbs 2 years ago, but when I started working 2 jobs, I lost my focus and here I am at 220. It really sucks when you look at the pants you wore back then and you can't even get them past your lower thighs! I don't have that much support just pressure, my husband wants me to lose weight because I am constantly hiding myself, well can u blame me?? I've been married 8 months and if he saw me naked he'd file for divorce. I don't know what to do anymore, it feels like I've explored every avenue with no results. I just need some advice or tips I guess. Thanx for listening.

I think what you are doing is great. You should contact the shows trainers and ask them to do something for your site. I hear Jillian answers her e-mails all the time. She said so in her interveiw on the loser site. Anyway - keep on keeping on!

Hey Kim,
thanks! that's sounds like a great idea. I'll post how it goes :-)

Hi there!
I think this is the greatest thing what you are doing. I beleive that this can inspire many people that are trying to loose weight. Good luck with everything.

Thanks Sylvia!

Thank you for the inspiration! I would love to link your site to my weight loss site that I just started if that's okay.

Thank you for commenting back, I really like your advice! I really enjoy blogging, it feels like an outlet for me, considering my embarrassment in "real life". I tend not to talk about my weight as openly as I can on the net. I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

I remember!
I'm committing to getting healthier this year. Following your journey has always been so inspiring to me, and I still have the dvd's you sent me!
rock on, hopeful!

I know Chick! 'cause you've been around from the very beginning!

That's funny that you still have those DVDs, I just started listening to one of them again recently.

I've been lurking here for a while and finally wanted to say hello! :)

I love your blog.. I tend to feel the same way and struggle with the ups and downs. Life is a rollercoaster ride...and yet many of us expect our eating and exercise habits to be stable all of the time. I guess it would be a lot easier if that were true, eh? :)

Keep up the great work..you motivate me!
