    Thank you - your kind words will help motivate me when I feel like giving up and going back to my old ways...giant bag of Jelly Belly's for a snack? I'm believe everything in moderation but I do miss eating the whole bag sometimes!

    you are the mirror image of me.. only I'm at 175 now..just lost my first five. My goal is 150 also. You look really great. I know last time I lost the weight it took people way to long to notice..almost like you have to lose almost all of it before they say something.

    I can tell you changed..you look great.

    You are stunning! I see a huge difference, especially in your face. You look years younger too. Keep up the great work....I know how frustrating it is not to hear the positive comments. I agree with everyone else, the people that see you every day will be the last to notice. Wait until you see someone you haven't seen in a long time....it will be very noticable to them. Great job! :happy:

    Thank you! Using the MFP website and app have helped me so much! Before, I was unaware of how many calories I was actually consuming and I was terrible at portion control. I started out at 1200 calories per day but it was pretty hard to stay within that so I bumped up my calorie goal to 1400-1500 calories a day. I have days when I go significantly over -special occasions, date nights with the boyfriend, etc. For exercise...I need to work on exercising more frequently/regularly, it's been hard for me to make the time since I work full time, go to school full time, full time mommy, etc. but I know I just need to find the time :) I bought a heart rate monitor to more accurately keep track of what I burn when I do workout - I usually walk or go hiking, sometimes running (rarely - I'm horrible at running - that's another thing I'd like to improve on). I just try to do my best, I have good days and bad days. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go - fitness wise :)

    Ooh, what a great difference! you look so much younger and healthier :)

    I, too, am of the tall persuasion, and my goal weight is somewhere around 150 or 140. I'm happy to see you're getting close, and it's inspiring to see someone with similar goals.

    Congratulations on your progress, keep up all your hard work :flowerforyou:

    You, love, are a total inspiration, thank you so much for talking me into trying this tool. The journey has empowered me, and given me hope, where before I started it seemed to me that uncontrolled ballooning to overweight->obese was my only possible fate. It's not, thanks in large part to you.

    Oh, and did I mention you look totally hot, rockin that bikini for all it's worth!! Go you!
