When you actually start to see your progress (for me, muscles and just being smaller in general) in the mirror and it feels so good!

Just bought a food scale to make my entries more accurate and hopefully lose some more!!

I'm 22 and I started out with about 100 to lose in January, slowly working my way down! I've got about 70 more to go. Feel free to add me :)

Awesome work!! You can do it!

Wow you look great!!! Keep it up :)

Someone at work asked me if I'd been losing weight! It was a little awkward but at just under 30 lbs down I was happy that someone noticed :)

Nice!! I'm 22 also, started at 271 and so close to 240 now! Lol

Thanks! It feels very slow sometimes but definitely making progress!

Ran 3 miles today! Normally I stop at just over 2. And did my fastest pace! (Still slow but an improvement!)

Went on a date tonight and was kind of worried about eating/what to eat to be healthy but not picky and all that. Ended up only eating half, which I basically never do, and was so full! Huge improvement for me!

Wow that's awesome! Congrats!

I'm 5'9 started at 271, currently 243, so almost 30 down and people have just started noticing, and I can feel it on myself a lot more since I've been doing weights as well so I feel much more toned!

Went running yesterday at a faster pace than I'm used to and wasn't even very tired after 2 miles! Felt pretty good!

I'm only down around 25 lbs and I feel like I already get a lot more attention. I feel a lot more confident though too, and I think that's a big part of it!

Finally feeling my muscles again! Hard work is paying off!

Tried on a large yesterday and it was SO close to fitting!! Also wearing shorts for the first time this spring and feeling good about it :)

I'm about 25 lbs down and only a close friend and my parents have mentioned it. I did have a lot of people telling me I looked good or would comment on my hair or something else, which I take as them noticing but not being sure/wanting to mention my weight. I'm also 5'9" so I expect it'll be a little longer til it really…

I feel like since I've lost weight that I'm smaller than I am. And I know I'm still considered obese but it makes it hard to lose more weight when you feel like you've already lost a lot!

I'd like to join!

I've just been through this and the first week was difficult but I started using exercise to cope and burn off extra energy/feelings, and I think my ex was a big part of why I was overeating (we were bad about encouraging each other to eat bad food lol) so it was actually easier to make better choices.

That's great! Looking good!

So I've been visiting family all week and trying really hard to lose my last 1.3 pounds. I managed to find a scale this morning, and even though I'd like to use my own, going off this scale, I'm exactly at my goal weight of 247!! SW: 267 Current: 247 Congrats to everyone else, even if you didn't hit your goal, you've still…

The biggest thing for me has been realizing that I have to actually change my behavior, and that if I keep making the same choices I've been making, I'll stay the same weight. It seems simple but it's been hard! Also I've realized that the way I think about food, exercise, and my body is more positive than it has been in…

Aiming to get under 240 in the next few weeks!! Im at about 248 right now

Staying with my parents this week and normally that means a weight gain because I eat more and go out to eat more, and I don't have a scale here to keep track. This time around, I haven't been overeating, I'm logging everything, and making better choices going out! Still a few more days to go, but I'm hoping for a loss…

I have been trying to lose weight the last few years, my heaviest is about 271, where I was in November. Recently went through a break up and started using MFP daily and have lost about 23 lbs since then, now about 248. Im 5'9 and looking to eventually weight around 160, I've always been at least a little overweight so it…

Had to buy a new belt today since I'm on the last hole of my old one! Also bought a pair of jeans and I'm now in 14s, instead of 16s and 18s!

Almost there! SW: 267 lb GW: 247 Last week: 250 This week: 248.7 Loss this week: 1.3 Total loss: 18.3 So close to my goal weight!!!

I'm 22 and have about 80 more pounds to lose, I'm down about 20 so far! Feel free to add me =)

I generally try not think much about what I'm eating on weekends, but I still log everything and usually I end up around my maintenance calories and still lose .5-2 lbs a week. Its sort of a nice break and I normally hit my goals on weekdays. I also still have about 80 more pounds to lose so my maintenance calories are…
