I haven't got to the "kept off" part yet but I've lost about 50 pounds since January when I got a nasty wake up call about my skyrocketing blood pressure.

I started off not trying to lose weight at all but just trying to improve my diet to get the blood pressure down. (I cut out a lot of sodium and started the DASH diet to lower the blood pressure.) Then I started adding in exercise (but still without a goal to lose weight).

It actually freaked me out quite a bit when I started to lose weight because I was not ready for it, but then gradually losing weight became a conscious goal.

Scale-weight is still not my primary goal since I'd be more than happy to keep adding more muscle, and I care more about how I feel and what I can DO then about what look I have. Still, I'm pretty dam proud of what I've done so far... just got to keep on working.

First, I have to say how inspiring it is to hear all of these stories and stats about people who have done what I need to do. Knowing you're not alone and what you are about to undertake is possible makes the journey a better one!

In total I have now lost about 26lbs...I don't really know where I will stop, but I know I have at least another 80-100 to go! Now that I've found JP, and the women's challenge...it's ON!

Congratulations to everyone on here who is on a weight loss journey.
I started mine in January and have lost 35 (almost 40) pounds to date. I have another 60 at least to go so I'll be checking out these forums to get more ideas and inspiration.

Good for you Catherine. It can be rough when you've got a lot left to go (believe me, I know). However, celebrate every pound down.
