hi all, i've been lurking around mfp for 10 years now. over the years i've lost 70 and gained 90 and lost 60 and gained back 80:( and after so many years of ping-ponging, i've had a rough summer w/ health issues. after this last doc visit, i am 1000% determined to get this right for the last time and stick w/ it! welcoming…

hey there, i have about 150 to lose, looking to boost my friends list and motivate folks who motivate me! :)

i love this goal! i have been hanging around this website for TEN YEARS NOW and after a scary summer full of health issues, i am newly recommitted, 20ish lbs down, will drop at least another 20 by the new year! feel free to friend me if you're in a similar boat :) height: 5'10" sw: 345 cw: 320 gw: 170

YAY! you rock, madam. congrats on two years :) happy to be doing this alongside you. and once we are goal-weight-ish, girl's weekend with Ms. ShannonMpls and us? :) :) :)

i'm in!!!!!!!

i frigging love you back. congratulations :)

amazing. and totally true in the mood swing thing. glad to know i'm not alone!

i'm 5'11" :) i started right under 300, now around 230, with 50ish left to lose. emphasis on the ISH, we'll see how i look once i get there because i've NEVER been that low as an adult. feel free to friend me, people, LOTS of people on my friends list have disappeared, lol, while i keep on trucking ;)

happy birthday! mine is sunday :) december babies! and congrats on the weight loss, and the fab dress, and congrats on not looking your age at all!!

holy cow, you are GORGEOUS! great work! such a good example for your daughter, that mommy is worth taking the time and attention for herself, her health, her fitness and her self-esteem :)

thank you for sharing, even the difficult bits. many of us have similar stories, secrets, pain, and the only way to conquer them is to be open about it, deal with it, and move on! which is precisely what you've been doing. so congratulations on all your success, you look great. :)

i wore a halter wedding dress from david's bridal. very marilyn-monroe-esque. it was the perfect length if i was flat-footed but with my heels it needed to be altered. of course, i bought my dress last minute and did not have time for the alterations to come in, therefore i scrapped my plan of wearing heels and wore some…

i have a beautiful oxblood long coat from h&m. thirty dollars a few years ago and has held up beautifully. i'm 5'11" and very picky and it has definitely lived up to my standards :)

you look AMAZING! wow! and you kept the boobs! WIN!!! :) thank you for sharing, you're gorgeous!!!

i'm 5'11" and definitely large-frame. have always had a hard time with rings/bracelets/anklets/necklaces even when 180-ish lbs in high school... my bones are literally big. as are my entire family's. my highest weight (as far as i know since i avoided scales like the plague) was 295 when i was full-term pregnant. i dropped…

hello! welcome. i'm available for friendship and support if anyone needs it, i've been using the site for about a year now and sloooowly but surely making progress to my goals :)

not necessarily sugar-free, but i've found that flavored soy/almond/hazelnut milks are AMAZING in coffee.

nice job!! i hope to run my first 5k this spring :)

you won't get the *kitten* you want sitting on the *kitten* you have :)

you look AMAZING! damn girl, that last dress is some HOT STUFF! great job! moms can have such guilt sometimes, feeling bad to take time away from kids to workout or log our dinners, while we try to remind ourselves: "i am setting a good example. i am getting healthy so i can be around for long-term motherhood." WHEW i know…

i weigh in with my wii and have for 60 pounds now :)... this part is embarrassing, but hey, we're among friends here..... i flip my coffee table upside down and put the balance board on that rather than weigh in on the carpet :) GHETTO but effective. carpet can have a huge difference, even with leg extenders. i brought my…

so cal!

driver's lic pic, taken november 2008. probably pushing 300, but have no idea, avoided scales like the plague (i'm 5'11" and liked to think i 'carried it well') work ID pic taken april 2012, after 8 months of MFP and roughly 45 lbs lost (maybe 70 lbs from my heaviest) today, 60 official pounds from MFP starting weight 13…

WOW. what a great nsv. and it's true, if you think about it, haha. i have certainly never been skinner than teenage me... but i will soon :) can't wait to join you in that realm sometime soon. in the meantime, congrats!! :) :)

wow! you look totally amazing :) great job, keep it up! thanks for sharing :) and hooray for being a supportive daughter, i have a supportive son (granted, he's 3, lol) but it is SO fun to share exercise excitement with someone, regardless of their age and ability :)

i'm 5'11"and have been at this for exactly a year now... pretty solid progress so far -- definitely check out the TTW (totally tall women) of MFP group. lots of support there. but i'm accepting new friends... make sure to attach a note explaining how awesome you are :) cuz i'm awesome too! lol

it's been a long time coming, but i finally realized that this is my behavior too. we all just need support. a community forum is a good idea, but we also need to support OURSELVES. what do i mean by that? .... what i've been trying to do, with some degree of success, is just start by being more mindful. DO i want this…

my birthday is dec 23 too! this is my exact goal, 30 more lbs down! LET'S DO THIS, KIDS!!!!!!!!!

today i will stay on track because i did yesterday and i wanna keep it up :) and i have a lofty goal to reach by december -- it's not gonna fall into my lap, i have to work for it! and i'm going to do just that. couch to 5k - week 2 day 2, TONIGHT :)

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
