    So I love this thread, but I have two questions:
    1) Wouldnt it make more sense to post your weight loss as % of starting weight. I mean, dropping 100 pounds if you weigh 300 is a lot, but its really only 33% of your total mass. Same as going from 150 to 100.
    2) For those of you women who posted pictures showing your abs, how did you get rid of the excess skin without surgery? Most of the guys post pictures with shirts on, so I suspect they have the empty kangaroo pouch that I often struggle with. Yet, the women here seem to drop 50+lbs and end up with these really tight abs, how can that be?

    It fails me.... I think it has something to do with the fact that women were born to stretch and carry babies so to an extent we are a little more stretchy?!? not sure

    It is :) If I could just get my mom to let me move the elliptical I'm sure those results would happen faster! Ugh :( I'll just have to be move careful with what I eat until she changes her mind

    Wtf is her problem dude? What's the difference with swapping the location of two pieces of exercise equipment? You said it's currently in the basement? Get a cheap box tv/vcr combo and set it up down there in front of the elliptical! Matt and I have tons of VHS' you could borrow :)



    Do you have a Nook or something similar? Set that up on your elliptical or something and stream Netflix on it. Helps a lot to distract yourself.

    ^^^^ I do this on my Nook at the gym, sure makes time fly.

    Wow! What dedication and focus. You look amazing!

    Thank you! It's not easy but it has taken my commitment to log my food and weight every day, and to do some sort of exercise every day. I have had to focus on changing my lifestyle more than going on a diet. MFP was the missing tool that made it easy to actually do it. The community of people that have the same struggle and focus makes it seem achievable and not so unrealistic. To lose half of your starting weight in less than 2 years is actually doable because you saw more than one person already do it.
  • Ho-ly COW but you all look incredible! Some of these have left me gobsmacked. Amazing job people!

    Special nod of the head to Miss_dannii - daaaamn woman, that is some seriously impressive change. Fantastic.

    I got the pouch too. I think women usually lose weight slower than men and they are into all those creams and lotion things.

    I honestly just put on cocoa butter every day and incorporated a beginner heavy lifting approach when I had 15 or so pounds left to lose and the tummy just went WOOP and the skin just about almost all the way shrank over about 5-6 months.

    So, assume I'm totally ignorant. What does a "beginner heavy lifting approach" mean?

    Did you lose in height too? I'm hoping that I wasnt the only one. I lost close to 2 inches in height and now I feel all disproportioned again.
  • yes i've lost about 2 inches and my shoe size went from a 10 to a 9

    I was wondering if there is somewhere on here that shows the "Biggest Losers" of MFP? I could use some inspiration and was thinking how cool it'd be to be able to see some huge transformations. Does this exist?

    All the ppl who joined up around new years and now haven't logged in in over 2 weeks. :p
  • If not...let's start it here! Post your most drastic before and after photos people!

    5' 11" 230 lbs. I'm the fat red head in the pink sweat shirt lol
    cantremember.jpg

    Currently 158 lbs. (though I think I'm a bit higher than 158 in this photo)
    forummmmm.jpg

    And what a difference in my face!
    face.jpg

    Wow! Way to go! I'm 5'11 and have a goal of around 160-165...you have totally inspired me!
