Thanks for all the encouragement and advice, I feel motivated to do one thing healthy today and track my calories... let today but the first step “back” on the right path....

Go back and re-read above, print it out and hang it on your mirror, read it every morning.... one of the best written on point responses ever. Stay positive, create a positive mantra... learn to love yourself for your accomplishments to date and be proud of the accomplishments you have yet to make.

Gaining back 15 lbs over last 6 months, the victory is understanding why, taking corrective action, and setting new goals. I am not defeated, lazy, fat, or upset..... I am empowered because I know I can do it, because I deserve it 😉 We all do

My NSV is a good friends 60lb SV... he has tried losing weight for years, I turned him on to MFP and he has now inspired me to get out of my rut and back on maintenance after my 50lb loss... life is good

501 days on my journey, 365 days maintaining my weight loss achievement. Feeling great and I learned to like myself again. Who would have ever thought losing weight could be so empowering..

You look ten years younger and 100 times happier. Great job...

Great Job.... continue being good to your self, keep smiling !!!!!

Spent three and a half hours kayaking around a lake with my two boys. They were complaining about getting tired and that it was hard. I felt great and could have paddled for days, down 50lbs and committed to working out 2 or 3 times a week. What a huge difference, I can’t imagine a year and a half ago where I wouldn’t even…

You have started an awesome journey, not just weight loss, but in learning to be good to yourself... I have learned close to 50 years old to look in the mirror and find 10 positive things for any one negative (now it’s my receding hairline, lol)... once you start taking care of yourself physically, the emotional well being…

You look10 years younger, and beautiful... great job

Your awesome, thanks for the inspiration to continue the success I have already achieved. Today was the 452 day of my change in lifestyle, I am 6’ 1” and have lost 50 lbs. I am on maintenance and go to the gym a few times a week, play with my boys (14 & 10) and the puppy all the time now, and feel much better over all.…

I just signed up for a 25 mile Wounded Warrior bicycle ride fundraising event.. before MFP and 50lbs ago, that never would have happened.. God bless our men and woman fighting for our country.

Math is my answer as well... they usually stop because no one likes talking about math, lol

Started this journey 354 days ago in size 42” stretch waist pants. Yesterday I had to return waist size 38” jeans given to me at Christmas (never worn lol) because they were too baggy, left store with 36” waist pants. Wow I haven’t worn 36’s since high school 29 years ago, yeah me :D Feeling proud, humble, thankful,…

You have such a beautiful smile and pretty face, keep up the hard work, be happy !!!!!

BP A loss is never just a loss... it is always a Win.... Having been the fat kid, having been bullied and ostracized, watching everyone have girlfriends, always getting picked last for kickball or baseball during gym, etc.... can and does have long lasting physiological effects... I guess that’s what causes most of us to…

Lose 7 more pounds by 4/15 to hit a total of 50lbs lost in 365 days... thanks all my MFP friends for success and motivational stories, they made it all possible ....

Awesome transformation, you have a bottom that many 20 year olds would envy, many 30 year olds would kill for, and most 40 year olds can only dream of..., you did it, congratulations

50 lbs so far, so there is no question you know deep inside that you are worth it. No one loses 50 lbs who is not committed, determined, and "worth it"... We can all see you are a beautiful young lady in your pictures, my guess is that you are beautiful inside as well. Some may disagree with me but why don't you celebrate…

I find the hardest part is the "still feeling chubby"... both of you look great (even without pictures of radbikerchick) B)

You sir have made a significant difference in my life. Your strength, determination, and will power to keep fighting are incredible. Now gone are my days of bitching and complaining that I have "Chronic Back Pain"... what I had was a case of chronic complaining and excuses of why I couldn't do the gym. Time for me to man…

WOW..... says it all

Good for you, doesn't it feel great ??

Just tried on new suit jacket I bought 1.5 years ago because I outgrew my older suits, it is way too big, tried on older jacket it is still too big. Went for the 38" pants hiding in back of closet and got them buttoned where they should be (at belly button). Gone forever are the 42/44 stretch waist pants I had been buying.…

I am 46 just lost 38 lbs shooting for 50 total. I used to like photography but found life got in the way of that hobby. Definitely a metal head and have recently discovered Disturbed and Five Finger Death Punch. Some pretty explicit lyrics but what the hell, if I wanted pretty and mellow I could listen to Rod Stewart (…

46 years old 6'1" Starting Weight 252 Current Weight 218 Goal Weight 200 NSV- shaving this morning and realizing I no longer have a double chin...... "It's better to feel thin and fit, than full and fat"

I love all the replies, you should read them every morning at breakfast. I also have a sweet tooth and I have found a low calorie "replacement" that is super easy and satisfying. It is called Flavor Ice, you'll probably remember the long plastic tubes filled with ice water and bright colors from when you were a kid. These…

I see your point and I agree. You must understand that I "used to" define full as in eating every meal as if it were my last Thanksgiving and that I would never eat again. I now eat like a human being that wants to see 70-80 years old, not just the next meal. This mantra has seen 35lbs melt away in 4 months and reminds me…

Congratulations you are very pretty in both pictures, but look much happier and healthier in the second picture... keep at it
