    You look incredible!! Although I still have 6 pounds to go, my story is very similar to yours. It takes a little while and a lot of experimentation to find your way sometimes. Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! That dress is amazing!

    WOW you look amazing! Love the wedding dress shot! This is very inspiring for me. I recently had a wedding dress fitting and discovered that although a size 14, the dress does not fit me. I need to fit into this sucker by June 15, 2013. You are such an inspiration! Thanks for posting your story!

    Great story. I think it will help many of us who make assumptions that people who are successful in losing weight did it with no set backs or hurdles. Reading how you overcame those times is an inspiration to many. Congrats on your success and you look fantastic in that wedding dress!!!:happy:

    Question? during your weight loss journey how close did you follow your plan on mfp....I'm just curious .....I'm trying to bang it in my head no cheat days just moderation if the treat is within the calories then ok but if not dont bother ....i'm trying to tell myself these things .....i cant be mad at the scale because i am the one putting the food in my mouth ......i'm so excited for you sorry i started blah blahing about myself

    I'm happy to offer my personal opinion. But you know what they say about opinions, they're like *kitten*, everyone's got one. Anyways, I followed as close as I could. If I was within 100 calories either way, I called it an even day. For the first month, I think it's important to really change the way you eat, so that when you crave a McChicken, and finally have one, you get so sick you don't want one again. Or if you want an entire bowl of cookie dough, you realize it doesn't taste as good coming up as it does going down. (I'm speaking from experience here). You cannot expect yourself to be perfect. Because this is not a perfect process.

    I also know I have certain foods I just can't have. For example. Oreos. I can't have a serving of them, I eat the whole package. So I don't have them, I don't put them in my house, and I don't even bother. Identify what those foods are for you, and replace them with something awesome and healthier.

    I've also learned to bring a veggie platter with me where ever I go. LOL I hope this helps.

    Yes it does ....I have a bad habit of not recording my weekend meals and of course most of it is out of control .....but i'm trying to focus on recording everything no matter if I am way way over my goal for the day ......I am making myself face my food issues its recorded it actually happened .....Thank you for the info ....opinions are like *kitten* but i asked for your personal experience so your good ..... HAHAHA!! veggie platter sounds like a plan becuase i got some cookie dough for christmas party on sunday and i have already eaten half of it :frown:

    log it before you eat it. It makes you REALLY think about what you are about to do to yourself. If you still really want it, take a bite. and WAIT. Do you still really need another bite? Ok. take it. then WAIT. See the pattern? EVERY SINGLE BITE you take is a new food decision. there is no need to wait till tomorrow, or the next meal. Start RIGHT NOW.
