    First of all - ignore any comments that aren't SUPPORTIVE and encouraging! You're doing GREAT! I just found out I have to have my thyroid removed and have been feeling sluggish/foggy for weeks now, so I understand how that can definitely affect weight loss and (in my case) motivation to exercise.

    Keep up the great work! Congrats on your success so far!! :happy:

    Awesome! Think about 7 five pound bags of sugar! That's a lot to remove from your body.

    Maye so, but I'm MORE impressed with how you stuck with it and didn't completely fall off track during that long plateau.. that is so awesome! I fell off the wagon last week. Totally off the wagon. I just started eating everything. trying to continue to log into MFP and get back on track. I'm starting over again. I wish I could be like you and stick with it constantly for a whole year and lose 36 lbs!!! Impressive and encouraging..

    36lbs/52 weeks works out to more than .5 lb a week.. that's perfect weightloss and 117 day plateau.. Perfect, absolutely perfect!
    36 pounds in one year isn't impressive speedwise, but slow progress is still progress I suppose. Keep it up.

    Don't you wish you could just delete some comments?

    Congratulations!!! You look great!!!

    I agree with slow and steady. Its been a full year I've been on MFP and I've only lost 20lbs. However, I've gone down from a size 14 pant to an 8, and from an XL top to a L sometimes M depending on the style. I also have some medical issues that are contributing to my weightloss issues. What I've learned is that you just have to keep plugging along and sometimes the changes are simply not on the scale. :) Keep up the great work!!

    What a fantastic job with huge rewards. Physically and mentally! You should be very proud. I wish for your your endurance to stay with it when I hit a plateau as that is when I give up. The next time that happens I am going to remember you and keep on keeping on. Good luck this year with continued success. :smile:

    This will be the first time I've ever posted on these forums. I just couldn't read your post without saying anything.
    To stick with a lifestyle change for an entire year is AWESOME. To stick with it ,despite health issues, makes it that much more impressive.
    To lose that much weight from healthy changes WHILE having untreated medical issues that affect(or is it effect?) your weight is MONUMENTAL!

    What kind of backhanded compliment is that. Did you even read her post?? She clearly said she had a long period of time of not losing anything due to medical issues - that alone would have sent some people right off the wagon, she kept going.

    Good job OP! You go girl!

    She is an over-forty woman. You are a twentysomething "man".
    Youngster, you know nothing.

    Happy Anniversary, ImR. Keep up the fantastic work and you will reach that goal!!

    To the gentleman who posted not impressive speed wise. You can tell your a man. Men always lose weight quickly or at least at a faster rate than women do. If a woman has any issues at all health wise it makes that process even slower. It does not matter the speed. What matters is she got the weight off.

    That type of comment about the speed at which someone loses weight to me would be an insult. I have a thyroid issue and because of it and in spite of being medicated for it can only lose 1 pound a month. Yes I excersie problity more than most. 1-2 hours each day. However because my matablizim is messed up do to thyroid I lose it slowly. I work very hard just to get one dam pound off.

    I am proud of your progress slow and steady wins the race it is not how fast you get it off. It is the simple fact you did. Good job and keep up the great work.
