if you really need to lose weight, then there aren't really any cons are there? loose skin seems to bug most people, and my a*se is decidedly boney now.! ... don't look for reasons not to lose it, just look at the positives when you have lost it. :)

feel free to add me- i'm 51 and had that mindset change 18months ago, i've lost 140lb but still have 100 more to go..... good luck on your journey- you can do this !!!!

well done you look fantastic. :)

cutting 10" off my belt length and putting new holes in it to hold my trousers up!

my sister had the gastric bypass about 2 yrs ago and lost the 8st than she needed to lose,but in the last 6 months has gained back 3 stone. she is focused on losing it again now, buts its not an easy fix, you still have to work at maintaining it .

hey there, feel free to add me, i have lost 140lbsin the last 18months but still have 100lbs to go! if you stay focused on your goal you will get there....

Now my belly doesn't stick out further than my feet i can read either!! i prefer digital, because you can swap between lbs or kgs easily if you want. my doctors weigh in kg but i tend to convert to st. and lbs..... :)

cheers guys, i still have motivation, and its still coming off!!

Although this won't work for everybody, when i was 32.5st 18months ago, my waist was 62" so i bought a pair of trouser that were 58" and have gone on like that, i'm 10st lighter and wearing 52" waist now, and have just ordered the 48" waist trousers!!! like i say it won't work for every body but it gives me something to…

well done you look great. i agree that stairs definately get easier!!

congrats on your weight loss, excellent job. :)

well done you, great job :)

hi, Cornwall here. :)

cornwall, United kingdom :)

i have lost 8" from my waist but have 2 or 3 pairs of jogging bottom, so just bought some elastic and re elasticated the waist bands making them fit again, having baggy clothes hides the progress, ready for the ultimate un veiling of the 'new you' ;)

well done you look Fab. :)

hi jillian, i too have been overweight my whole life, but 18months ago i decided to make a change! that in itself is half the battle... you've got this, you can do it, one day at a time, 1 pound at a time, good luck. :)

well done you. :) a great achievement. you should be very proud.

well done you. what fantastic views. and a great achievement. :)

hello mandy and welcome :)

How good it feels when someone you haven't seen for a year, stops dead in there tracks and says 'OMG you've lost so much weight'. and who new that sitting down could be so uncomfortable when you have no fat on your A**e :)

well done -you look Fab. :)

hi there, along with the walking as has been suggested, cut out any take away type foods, cut out soda crisps chocolate, and one of the first things i stopped eating altogeter was bread. i reduced my calorie intake to about 1800 cals a day too, MFP is good if you log all you eat as its suprising how easy and quickly the…

it took me 4 months to lose my 1st 50lbs but i started at 456lbs (32.5st), and in 18months have lost just over 140lbs, so averages out at about 1.8lbs a week. good luck on your journey, (mine continues)

great Job! well done.

good luck on your journey Kim! chasing after 8 kids all day i'm suprised your not a lean ,mean,mummy machine! :D

i've lost 142lb in 18months, thats about 1.8lb a week, but you will get plateaux which are always discouraging, my longest plateux was 5 weeks.... as Detritus_1965 said in the above comment is the important thing is to have started the journey..good luck with yours, mine continues!!

superb job- you look fabulous. you are right about having to have the right mindset. i have lost 140lbs natually over the last 18months-( 7.5st of that was last 11 months) and thats only because i am solely focussed on it this time! well done again.

you look amazing- well done you.
