That's awesome -- tough to keep that rate up that long. You look fabulous.

I waited and waited to buy new things and I finally went to get some new pieces, as I am now a tight version of the size I will likely settle at ... and I couldn't find anything I liked. All the clothes were drab colors, frumpy styles and didn't show off my hard work. I was majorly bummed! So I'm still wearing my very…

Me too! I had no control over weight loss before-- it felt like alchemy or luck if I lost weight and a curse or fate if I gained. I just didn't realize how easy it was to get fat eating veggies if I ate too much of them or in conjunction with other bad foods, or that working out a little didn't cancel out bad eating…

The next 3-5 lbs. Not sure if I bounced up 2 lbs bc of water weight last time I weighed myself, but I'm hoping next weigh in will show I have 3 lbs or less to be less than 10 lbs away from goal.

I haven't been working out regularly anymore, which has set my progress back even though my eating is reasonable. Set my alarm to work out this morning ... but ignored it. But when I did get up, I squeezed 90% of my 45-60min workout into 30 minutes. I was really huffing at the end, but I got something done. I don't want to…

So great to see this thread -- everyone sharing makes me feel less alone and definitely inspired by others' success. Mine is sloooooowly melting away like a bar of soap melts (glacial pace). Lifting my arms up helps

I love this post! Can't wait to feel the same and feel comfortable with the form and function of my body. You are a rock star!

Hey, I started around where you are and have just lost 15lbs (still want to go another 15) and am in my early 30s -- wish I'd started when I turned 30. Mfp has been great because it's given me control over weight loss. You don't need to do anything special or only eat certain kinds of foods or exercise 6 days a week if…

Face first. Lower stomach fat is hanging on like Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger.

Awesome! As you fall in love with your progress, it gets so addictive.

I was able to run to catch my train. It used to feel like slow death if I had to spontaneously run for some emergency. My husband said I now remind him of me when we first met.

You look gorgeous! Congrats on an amazing loss.

Awesome job. I'm so hoping to get there myself. Hoorah for getting to a healthy place!

Portions for sure. I used to eat until I felt sick. As bad as it made me feel, I still get that urge, especially when I'm tired or anxious or bored. Now wine and takeout are my biggest calorie overages even while watching portions.

If that is what short and dumpy looks like, sign me up. You look lean and petite! I'm 5'2" and have lost 15 lbs so far, (sw: 165#) which has made a huge difference on my frame, though I still have at least 15 lbs to go. Even when I was at my lowest ever weight as an adult (120s) I felt like I damaged my shoes quicker than…

That's an amazing transformation -- you look awesome!

I don't fear bending down or crouching anymore and accidentally tearing my pants. Happened more than once before including in professional situations.

Zipped up totally counts! What muffin top? (Speaking to my own experience there). 3 tough goals smashed -- you are doing so freaking great!

I'm wearing the suit I wore to get my first real job many years ago. It has taunted me from the back of my closet, perfectly pressed and unworn for so long, I became convinced it was an impossible goal. I don't quite get how it's fitting when I'm still much heavier on the scale than I was when I bought it, but I guess…

Thanks for these suggestions. I'll see if I can put something together.

Too funny! Congrats on your loss!

I ran my entire 5k run and did so at an average 12min/mile pace, which I previously couldn't do. I'm wearing my grandma's ring on my middle finger again and fitting into clothes from more than a decade ago. It feels like someone else's life, but I'm so glad.

Congrats -- the waist is so important for health and definitely makes you look great. It must feel awesome to smash a goal like that.

Awesome and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

You look half the size! Great loss.

I'm finally back at pre-pregnancy weight! Over two years later! Aaaaah it feels so good. Now I've got my eye on getting back to the 140s and running in a 5k race (like in public, surrounded by "real"runners, and being timed) byThanksgiving.

You are literally working your @&$ off. You look incredible. Congrats.

Wow. Just wow and this is awesome.

That was to @danie1pe, lol quote fail.

I've been so hesitant to post these photos. Left photo was 281. Right photo 214 so 67 lbs down. [/quote] Look at your whittled down waist! Awesome loss!
