I congradulate Mandy! I don't know why she says it was easy, because I am currently going through the change of diet and exercise too, and I've lost 14.5 pounds since March of 2007. It does take time, but it is well worth it, because you don't just lose the weight, you start a healthier way to eat and live and then you don't have to TRY to lose weight, you just live and maintain the weight you are at. Keep up the good work Mandy and to everyone else out there looking for that lose weight fast pill, it doesn't work like that. Follow Mandy's example. God bless you all.

Congratulations on taking the first step. You look wonderful and you have inspired me to get back on the plan that has worked for me in the past. I had been feeling convicted by my husband's commitment to walking an hour on the treadmill 5x per week. Then, one day last week I wanted to demonstrate a cartwheel for my ever curious grandson and realized that might result in a visit to the doctor. Thanks for your story.

That is great! Good for you Mandy! Keep up the good work. I currently weigh 220 lbs and would love to get down to 130. My only concern is after losing so much weight that I will have lots of left over skin and it will look gross. I'm wondering if anyone else has had that problem. I see alot of ads where people lost the weight and they look good but then I wonder if they had to have surgery to remove the excess hanging skin. I've lost 14 lbs already and hope to reach my goal by the end of next summer. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Congratulations!

Are you really saying that you never had a moment when it was difficult, that you never "feel off the wagon" for even one day? If you did, how did you get back on track?

Did you have any issues with lose skin after you lost that much weight? Did you need to have surgery to get rid of it?

I am truly inspired by this story. I have been fighting a weight problem my entire life as well. In fact, I just hit the same weight as Mandy Muniz. Thanks so much for sharing your story and providing proof that it can be done without surgery. Like many other people who posted I am also very curious about tightening your skin up after such an enormous weight loss. Please let us all know what you did and how we can follow in your footsteps. I hope that I too will be a success story a year and a half from now.

Hi. I just wanted to say congrats and that you look great!!! I am a 38 year old mother of 5 who has just learned that my cholesterol is at 299!!!! I'm just beginning my journey on the weight loss trail, and I hope and pray that I can do as well as you have done. It will be tough because I'm a hard core southern cook!!!! For my kids, my husband and myself, I'm going to do it. Thank you for your wonderful story and your inspiration. God Bless.

I read about your story in a magazine. I thought it sounded balanced and easy to follow. I too have about 100 pounds to lose and have lost 26 pounds in the past month. I feel great and am looking to your blog for inspiration. I am also curious about extra skin and what you have done. I also would love to see some other sample menus. I look forward to reading more tomorrow.

I just looked up LA Weight Loss and am thinking of joining. If she can do it so can I. I wish they would profile men as well. I'm a guy who is 340 give or take, I never know for sure and I would love to see my after pic after having the type of success that Mandy has had. The only thing I would say that was not said is that you need to be really determined to do this. Wow Mandy! Good for you girl.

Mandy,

I have heard other people sayt they ate more food and lost weight. Please, whoever is in control of the content Mandy is writing, stop the teasing. We all want to know specifics. How did you do it Mandy, specifically. What foods did you eat. I am a picky eater. I don't like most veggies. I need to lose 60 lbs. I want to know what to do...please can you be specific?

Congratulations Mandy! How I wish I could accomplish a weight loss of 30 pounds! (smile) I am about 5'3" and I weighed myself last week and I am a wopping 223lbs! I keep visiting WeightWatchers.com trying to decide if I want to join. I missed Mandy on the Today Show, but I really need some admiration.

That's awesome!! Keep it up. I do have one question for you, though. Did you have to have any surgery for the loose skin after losing that much weight? Or does it naturally tighten? Thanks. You have inspired me to start exercising again and to continue eating healthy. Thanks.

Is there any more detail available on Mandy Muniz and her weight loss plan?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Last night we were watching "The Biggest Loser" and my 3 year old daughter said "Hey mommy she looks just like you". She was referring to the mother of three with the elevated liver enzymes. I was floored.

I think it's wrong to title anything that has to do with losing weight as "EASY", I think no matter what you do to lose the weight, it's just not easy. There is so much going on physically and mentally. It just discounts the effort. I've lost 32 pounds in the last 4 months and I think it was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life!

No one else thinks losing weight is work? Maintaing a healthy weight can't be a breeze either! How about when you add exercise to the mix? Was it really easy?
