48 pounds lost.. 30 more to go! Thank you MFP!!

Just cannot figure out this picture posting sorry

Wow! Well done! you are a role model for me! How long did it take you to lose the 48 lbs and what do you contribute your success to? I have 70 lbs to lose and seem to have a metabolism of a slug. I am 55.

Hi..I attribute success to making this a lifestyle change. I cut out all fried foods..all icecreams and high calorie foods...have very few carbs a day..stopped adding sugar or salt to anything...eat non-prepackaged foods..eat tons of fresh veggies and fruits..and use boiled or bbq chicken tenders when eating meat.. I also swim 3 to 4 times a week as my main form of exercise (at our local holiday inn). I also do a lot of home execises for my core etc along with walking.

Thanks Virgo!! :flowerforyou:

Is that the same person is those 2 photos???? Wow - what a great incentive you are....:-}

I ask myself the same thing everytime I see them!!! I STILL look the same in my mind... even tho I KNOW I've lost so much.... very hard to undetstand!!
