Weight Loss Success Stories

Hello all,

Today I went online to find some success stories as we are entering dreaded week 2!   I found some of these people and wanted to share the link with you as they very well are real people, who are trying to lose weight the healthy way, slow and steady.  And, one day, you too will be able to share your SUCCESS story!

Elizabeth's Story:  34 years old.  Before Weight 204 After: 124

Joe's Story: Age 52 Before: 265 After 170

Additionally, how is week 2 going for everyone? I hope you are all doing a good job with staying focused on this journey.  I know it can be easy to get lost with the ultimate goal, ecspecially since those girl scouts are shoving cookies down our throat this time of year!  But, I wanted to share with you something I have done to help me out with short term goals...to get me to the ultimate goal. I'm going to say that I am "200lbs" and want to lose 1.5lbs per week.  I took a calendar and wrote down every saturday on it.  I then subtracted a 1.5lbs each week.  So, by July 4th (My favorite holiday) I would weigh "174.5".  But instead of me looking at the entire sum of 25lbs...it's a weekly goal that I try to attain. Of course, come July 4th, I would do this again to see if I could reach the next goal...by Oktoberfest (My favorite festival of the year).

The weather is great...let me know if any of you would like to meet up for a walk...let's say Thursday at 5:45pm at the Silver Lake trail.  This is also if it's not raining (which it is projected 30% chance as of now). Let me know! Have FUN!!

  1. If it isn't raining I would be more than happy to meet you at Silver Lake Trail. That would be a very nice change of pace for a work out.
