    amazing! any tips??

    First of all THANK YOU EVERYONE for the amazing support & encouragement!! Your comments have made me feel so good, and are helping me to stay on the right track, because I've been struggling the past month with keeping up the hard work...and haven't lost any weight because of it. All the support helps me to remember how far I've come and that I can reach my goal, but it's going to take HARD WORK and no one is going to do it for me.

    As for tips, the #1 thing I can say is PATIENCE. I was never patient enough before to stick with any fitness plan--I always wanted to see IMMEDIATE results, so when I didn't get immediate results (who does!?), I gave up. I stayed in a cycle of misery and depression and being fat because of it. When I finally buckled down and MADE myself, above all else, have PATIENCE, and keep working out & eating right despite not seeing immediate results...that's what made a difference. It was one of the HARDEST things I've ever had to do--keep exercising every day & eating right even when I wasn't losing weight or seeing any changes the first couple of months. You have to stick with it & realize it's a lifestyle change, it's not going to happen overnight, but if you do stick with it eventually you will see results & it will be WORTH IT! :)

    WOW...you are inspiring me to refocus! I have lost 20 pounds and I really want to lose at least 50. Those pics make me BELIEVE.

    That, in turns, inspires ME to keep going. Thank you! And if I can do it, anyone can! Congrats on the lost 20!!

    Thank you for that. I have hit a rut for a couple months or 1.5 months or something...but I feel like I look better despite barely any wt. changes. It will happen, keep it up...love it! You look so good.

    Thanks for sharing your pics and story. You are an inspiration! Photos do not lie. I lost 32 lbs. on WW 4 years ago and put all but 5 lbs. back on, so here I am on MFP. I recently saw a pic of myself 4 years ago and now and that was motivation enough to get back to tracking and healthy eating. I love MFP and it's free! I am motivated by people like you who have hung in there and have mastered each of your goals. Keep it up! You are lovely!
