Very inspiring! Fantastic work!

I started my journey at the same time :) Congratulations and keep it up! You're a superstar :)

Awesome job! Don't downplay your achievements! Losing slowly gives you a much better chance at keeping it off :)

Amazing transformation! You are beautiful either way, but wow! Good for you! What is your maintenance plan?

Very inspiring! So awesome - good for you!

I've cut out most processed foods and have an open diary...I'll add you :)

Hi :) I have another 15 or so to lose as well. I'm going to be 38 on Saturday. I have an open diary as well - feel free to add me :)

I'm in NB! Happy Thanksgiving :)

Thank you 17761776!

Thanks Yasminara!

Thanks SallyRamona :)

Thank you! You are so inspiring! I love hearing about your daily activities!

Yes I've been guilty of going overboard with the low carb fads in the past. And all it accomplished was a short period of weight loss and then regaining it all and more. I just needed to remove the unnecessary sugar from my diet. I have cut out over processed white flour and other foods filled with corn syrup for over a…

Thank you!

Congratulations!!!!! Great work!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks Sabine!

[/quote] I've got a question..... in the picture with the sweater..... how did you lose your stomach? Did you have the hanging pooch? Hope the questions are ok.. [/quote] Question is totally fine! I do have loose skin around my abdomen ( and arms and thighs). I'm 38, had a child and have been overweight for most of my…

Good point :) carbs are my kryptonite! If I don't watch it they always put me in a caloric surplus - when I start, I have trouble stopping. Protein and making sure my carbs are whole grain does help.

Thx nicnoahshaun! You can do it!

[quote="MargueriteMuguet;34074925"I looooove your wedding dress by the way (are you going to take it in so that you keep it for your new figure?).[/quote] Thanks! I love it too! And yes I plan to have it tailored to my new size once I've stopped losing inches :)

Thank you Sashayoung72, Roxmom3, neldabg, Ameliabea, Sassyk35, hollynono, MargueriteMuguet, Patttience, skinnyb05, ohmscheeks, Funship, pbryan66, mommyof4cpa and johnmaschio9!!!! Sending you all good vibes :)

I actually agree with you Patttience :). My point was that "You can eat whatever you want as long as you exercise" is a myth that I've found to be untrue in the past year. I used to work out with a personal trainer but the minute I stopped going I regained all my weight because I never changed my eating habits. I've lost…

Campbellton, NB! I've sent you a friend request :)

Hi :smiley: I'm CJ. I am 5'3" and have been seriously working at weight loss for almost a year. SW - 252.5 lbs CW - 169 GW - 150 Here are some before and after pics! Feel free to add me:) I'm always looking for more fitness pals to motivate and to inspire me!

Busy mom, here! My husband works away two weeks a month. I have a demanding job. With my husband away i have to work out in the mornings before my toddler wakes up or go for a run at lunch time. I am so inconsistent with it...it is so easy to sleep in or work through lunch. Would love to be accountable to someone :). I've…

I am going through the same thing. My starting weight was the same and I am about the same weight now. Although I've been at it since last August. Since I had consistently lost every week, it's been disappointing to see no weight loss or slight weight gains recently. I also reached out for advice. For me, changing my…

SW - 252 lbs CW - 176 GW - 150ish (will realistically never maintain anything lower than that) HT - 5'3'' Age: 37 Add me if you're my MFP twin :) or even if you're looking for someone who's lost some weight and is working on the last stretch!

You can add me as well :) I think you should be proud of your progress so far!
