Your a hot mama jama now! Not that you werent before but you know.... LOL Definitely a difference! Its true that for us that only have 30 or 40 to reach goal, our difference is all right there. You are still going and those last pounds will make the difference for your brain cause you will know you are there :)

I totally understand what you are saying OP. I try to stay good in my fats and sugars macros because I tend to want to eat more of that type of stuff too. And I also get that you can feel the fat accumulating in your already fat storing areas because I swear I can too. I think (and this is only my opinion) that it is…

You are like my MFP twin! Mine keeps going down a little as I reach goal. Ultimately though my final goal is between 125-130. I have not hit 125 yet but I am in my range :) thank goodness. I still haven't gone on maintenance yet, but I do plan on doing that soon.

Congrats to you! Job well done :)

Oh this sound so wonderful to me! I'm over 200 days logging and am getting married in three weeks and will be at the beach the whole week after and I need a darn break. I don't even know if I will be able to keep at it til then I'm so darn burnt out! I'm starting to think I'm going crazy!

Out stats are almost completely the same! I am 5'3" and started at 173 this past January. I am now at 129/130. I also think to myself wherever I land from here is fine and I am so much more happy with ME!!! I just want to tone and have a flat belly. Seems no matter how small I get it is never flat. But no matter. With…

Yeah!!!! Keep at it. I need to make this my next goal in life B)

First off, congrats to you! You look amazing! Secondly, I love the combination of advice you give above as it is exactly the advice I would give if I was asked. I am also down 42 pounds and our body shapes before and after were very similar. Although I am twice your age ;) and I am 5'3".

Oh my gosh!!!! So proud of you. I'm almost crying.

For a healthy snack with only a little chocolate drizzle I go to my "I heart keenwah" snack flavored sea salt with dark chocolate drizzle. Otherwise, a mint dove dark chocolate swirl promise is 44 calories. Lastly if I am in the mood for some chocoate after dinner and I am home I will take 1 serving spoonful of Edy's Mint…

Ain't nothing but a thing.....LOL. Twenty pounds is really not all that much. You'll be done in no time at all. Just a little bump in the road really.

I find your story very inspiring and interesting! I've been interested in NDE's since my mom died 27 years ago and read all kinds of articles and books on the subject. Do you remember any of those moments/experiences? Thank you for what you do also by the way!

ditto that above. Exactly what I was thinking.....gorgeous family. Congratulations to you! You will certainly inspire others.

Hello everyone :) I am 5'3" and 52 years old. I started January 20th of this year (2015) and have taken off 39.5 pounds so far. My first goal was 138 but when I got there I found that my belly was still pudgy so I'm going down now to new goal of 128. I am only 5.5 pounds away from that and I can tell I will probably have…

I still scare the crap out of myself. I don't think I will ever like the front camera. Maybe it is because I still feel young and what I see in the front camera is getting old! LOL

You look healthy and awesome! Great job.

You look great!!! Good job. I'm doing the same thing as you. Getting married in 2 months. Just a little more to go!

Hi everyone. My name is Carol and I am 52 years old. I joined MFP this year because a friend of mine asked me to because we started our quest to lose weight at the same time. I was on Calorie Counter and she was here so I switched over. She has stopped counting now but I am still here :) I have two children, a girl 24 and…

Genisoy Soy Crisps

Love this thread! Still need to read though many pages tonight at home so BUMP :)

Your stats (height, starting weight, goal weight and age) would be helpful too :)

I loved your transformation. It was my favorite one in this whole giant thread......did you keep going? Can you post a recent picture or even better yet maybe we can friend each other........how tall are you?

Love your story so very much! Thanks for sharing :) I am a bit of a turtle too and things have sloooowwwwwed considerably for me but at this point I'm ok with that. The thing I like best about you and I are that we learned to eat the proper way, same foods as always just a proper portion of them and just probably less…

genisoy soy crisps sea salt flavor.......but they are addictive too......

I'm close to but not to goal yet and sometimes overeat on soy crisps. I feel like crap later and either adjust my dinner calories to make sure I don't go over or just see the red bar which takes a week to go away. I am scared to go on maintenance cause after all the work I did this year I don't ever want to go back to…
