Wow, what inspirational stories. I too have joined the weight loss club. I've lost 40 lbs and I'm now exactly where I want to be. I got the flu about a year ago and lost 10 lbs and that was enough motivation for me to change my diet and exercise. I was already exercising but I've found that I have to also watch my diet...sigh..the days of eating anything are gone. Commuting to work has really helped me keep it off. I was worried about putting on weight this winter but so far, my weight hasn't changed much and I just recently lost the last 5 lbs that have been so stubborn to come off.
I'm now at 15% body fat and 165 lbs. My one gripe is the BMI rating. Every time I calculate my BMI, it puts me in the obese category. It doesn't take into account a person's body stature. I'm short and stalky with very muscular legs so my BMI rating is thrown off.
Keep up the good work everyone!
