    Thanks! Same to you! Isn't it amazing when it finally clicks in your head that this CAN be done?? And you don't have to suffer to do it either??? I feel like a lightbulb went off and I am SO confident that this is a change for good.

    Great Job! I remember you when I first started on MFP. Cause I couldn't get over your belly pictures. They are very similar to mine except mine has stretch marks all over them! You are a true inspiration!!

    36 pounds since Jan. 2nd.
    Starting BMI 48%, now 33%
    I can't remember the last time I was this weight. Feeling good. Have at least 15-28 more pounds to go. I'll stop when I feel great about myself!

    I've lost 30 since the first of April. Have been doing the South Beach. I'm now in phase 2 - but mostly just have been eating healthy and watching calories. I'm having to think of this as a life change.... not a diet with an end :wink:

    Started in January, lost 20 lbs (my goal) by the end of April. Been maintaining since. I can't believe it was so simple. I wouldn't say easy though. But it was simple because the numbers were right there on what to eat to do it. But changing how I ate was tough at first. I am lucky my husband is on board too, so we just don't buy any junk now and we are both used to healthy cooking, we even like it better. Like McDonald's doesn't even sound that good anymore. I am scared of Dairy Queen too! It is a great feeling to know that this is do-able and I did it! I don't think I'll ever go back to my old ways.

    Wow! You guys are all so inspiring. I've been a little down on myself here lately because I haven't been losing the way I want to (which is completely self-inflicted, I've been sabotaging myself). But I think I've been doing pretty well now. I went and calculated my BMI from when I started and compared it to now, and it's gone down 4 points! When you really think about it, that's a lot! Thank you for sharing your weight loss stories, everyone. It got me back on track.

    Since October I have lost 76 pounds and 42 total inches. My Bodyfat % went from 36.2% to 26.2%.
    I am at my original goal weight, though I have lowered it at this point. I show I have about 10 pounds left to go, but honestly I don't care if I don't lose another pound, as long as my bodyfat keeps going down & I gain muscle, then I am happy, though I am still losing at this point.

    I have been working with a trainer & she is my lifesaver. I know for a fact I could not have done this well without her. She pushes me when I need it and gives me my space on those bad days- LOL. I have been very surprised at how much will power I actually have and have been able to stick to the meal plan that she gives me. In fact the other day I went to lunch with some friends & they were impressed that all I had was a salad while they were having chips & salsa & chicken wings and I wasn't even tempted- though at times it is hard to say no to those temptations- LOL.

    When I started I was eating around 700cals a day (just lunch & dinner) and working out 2 days a week. Now I eat 1500 to 1600 cals a day, and working out 6 days a week. This has definitely been a true lifestyle change for me.

    Good job everyone & keep up the great work!!!!!

    Great job everyone. I also wanted to put my measurements from the start to now. I have lost a total of 97 inches all over my body. I firmly believe in the measuring. Once you lose the inches you can never even imagine yourself being that big. So here it goes~~~

    neck-13 inches to 11 1/2 inches=1 1/2 inches
    arms-13 inches to 10 1/2 inches= 2 1/2 inches x 2 arms = 5 inches
    bust- 44 inches to 33 inches = 11 inches
    upper waist- 38 inches to 27 inches = 11 inches
    mid waist (around the belly button)- 46 inches to 29 inches = 17 inches
    hips/butt- 53 inches to 37 1/2 inches = 15 1/2 inches
    upper thigh- 29 inches to 20 1/2 inches = 8 1/2 inches x 2 legs = 17 inches
    lower thigh- 20 1/2 inches to 14 inches = 6 1/2 inches x 2 legs = 13 inches
    mid calf- 16 inches to 13 inches = 3 inches x 2 legs = 6 inches
