    You know, you see these before and after pictures on the slim fast commercials...........the person never quite looks like they could REALLY be the Before..........or the After. I have always suspected the photos were 'doctored'. Yours look the same way. because you really aren't that same person are you? I think you've done amazing. Keep up the good work. This came at a good time for me, my weight loss has stabilized over the past 5 days. I needed this to motivate me.

    Thankyou for the advice. I too have 40lbs to lose, if not more...but 40 is the goal. I just started this journey 2 days ago. I'm finding it pretty difficult. I know I'd rather be thinner and healthier than eat bad food...so why do I keep wanting to eat it? What kinds of foods did you eat. Snacks? I need ideas for things I can eat.

    You look great btw!
    Thanks
    -Cary

    I'm more than a little embarrassed that I weigh the same as a guy. (actually a little more!) Also same starting weight - I really need to lose weight or have a sex change operation

    Thank you for the kind words. I was going to try to reply to everyone but I guess that is just silly. I cannot say enough good things about this site. For extra motivation I wanted to point out I lost 28 lbs in about 90 days. I had lost about 15 lbs over about 6 months before finding this site. My advice to anyone that cares.

    1. Keep it simple
    2. Drink tons of water
    3. When unsure - Over estimate calories in and under estimate calories burned.
    4. Don't obsess over the scale. Pick a weigh in day once a week and stick with it.
    5. Most importantly be honest with yourself. Don't pretend the cupcake was only 25 calories.

    I love #5. This is so true! Congrats on your loss!! Great job

    The feed back has really blown me away. You guys and girls are what makes this site rock! Thank you again and again. I look forward to seeing everyone reach their goals!

    someone asked what I ate.

    I ate a lot of low calorie dense food. Mashed potatoes, Oatmeal and lots of peanut butter sandwiches. I drank 32 oz of water with every meal. I took lean cuisines for lunch every day. It really was important for me to drink as much water as possible. If I was hungry and out of calories I went to the gym and earned them. Yes I ate back my workout calories every day. As long as I was at my net that is all I cared about. I won't say that I ate very clean but I wanted to keep it simple( My rule # 1) Weight loss has so many health benefits that I just focused on that. Now that I am where I want to be I can spend my time and extra calories eating cleaner. I am sure their is healthier ways to do it but to me it was the results that mattered.
