Is it possible to lose 150 - 200 pounds in 1 year?

Question: Okay, when I was 17, I weighed 346lbs. With the help of Richard Simmons "Sweatin to the oldies" 3 times a day and slimfast, I got down to 220 in a matter of 6 months - I was getting all my vitamins and minerals from the slimfast, and when It said to eat a sensible dinner, that's exactly what I did. My stomach shrunk from the size of a basketball down to the the size of my fist (for the first time in years). I met the man of my dreams when I was 19, got pregnant 2 months later, and since then, I have had 3 Children, back to back - they are 8months, 1 1/2, and 2 1/2, so of course, i gained ALL of my weight back, because I used the excuse of being pregnant, to eat all I wanted. Now, I'm paying for it! I've decided it's time to take control of my life - Im just wondering if it is possible to lose 150 - 200 lbs in 1 year? Not by taking silly pills, but by exercising and such? You guys are so great and have awesome advice, so I decided I would ask! Looking for insperation as well :o)

I've gained some weight also from having kids. I had my daughter when I was 23, I gained about 100 pounds and I lost all but about 30 pounds. Two years ago, I had a son and I got down to 206, I'm 6'1. Then when he was 9 months old, I got pregnant with twins. I gained alot of weight. I lost most and now I weigh about 225. I joined LA weight loss in Febuary and my goal is to get down to 190 by my 30th birthday in July. It is so hard to lose weight especially after childbirth. It really changes your body. With 8 month twins, two year old, seven year old and a four year old step son it is soo hard to exercise. I would you try slimfast again. If it worked so well the first time, try it again. I ordered the exercise glider and it should be coming in the mail soon. It's only twenty dollars and I ordered it off the internet. It's these things you put under your feet and you slide to these dvd's that they send you. I also ordered some diet pills called hoodia 911. I know you said no diet pills but look them up on the internet, they are suppose to be healthy for you. They were on 20/20 and Oprah. I said I wasn't going to buy anymore diet pills, but I seen these and decided to try these. I guess it is possible to lose that much weight in a year, you done it! What not try that same approach? I know your body has changed over the years with childbirth. Email me and share your diet progress. I would love to see how you do. We can share with each other.
