Just had to share my success in celebration and hopes of motivating those just starting out!

I started here 12 weeks ago, and just turned myself over to MFP - I've worked out almost daily, and kept to my calories everyday, without straying, and without starving. I've been committed.

Today I saw colleagues and friends that I have not seen in 8 weeks, and I got many compliments! People have noticed the change! It felt so great! One person said, "You look like a whole new person!"

My hubby hid my scale early on, because I was becoming obsessed, and it was the best thing that could have happened (I would usually start a diet, then if the scales goes up 1 lb I want to quit!).

In 12 weeks my measurements have gone from 40-31-41 to 38-28-38, and I'm even wearing a size 6 at certain stores (love The Gap for example!). I NEVER thought I would be a size 6, in my whole life!

Stick with it, and it works. Plain and simple.

Thanks for all the support from everyone too! That has been a great help!
