When I was a young woman I controlled my weight because I wanted to look hot. LOL Then I became a mom and lost a grip on my weight and ballooned up. I wasn't worried about being hot but I still worked on it because it made my 1st husband happy to have me trimmer. Now I'm in my 60's and if it wasn't for my lousy health I…

Awesome job, you should be very proud.

WOW you've done an amazing job losing and you look great.

You look a healthy weight, just got to realize that everyone has a different perspective of what is the right weight. I remember when I was a young woman, my mom felt I was too skinny at about 15 lbs overweight. It used to really bug me but know I understand it. Don't worry about what your friend is saying just know your…

Fantastick weight loss, you look good, keep working on it. Just be healthy.

25 lbs makes a big difference doesn't it. Your doing awesome, keep up the good work.

You may be going too low in your calorie intake. My dietians had me to figure up how many calories I burn per day then she told me not to go below 300 calories less than what I would eat to maintain. I currently eat 2000 a day and have lost 21 lbs.

Just be sure to count everything you eat. After a while you will realize the calories are not not worth giving up the next meal. I indulge periodically just so I don't feel deprived and want to quite eating right.

Don't give up, dry the tears honey. I was stuck for 6 full weeks. I stuck to the calorie intake and watching what I age. Becareful not to drop your calories too much or you will for sure stall your metabolism. I just dropped my 1st lb in 6 weeks, at least I was pretty much staying where I was at within a 2 lb range the…

I found out I am diabetic type 2, it got me on the ball with watching what I eat, and getting on here. The best thing I could have done. I've lost 18 lbs so far and have logged in for 75 straight days. Your doing awesome this site is another tool to help you on your path to good health.

You've done a good job losing, congradulations.

Girl you look entirely different in a good way. Awesome progress.

That is awesome, know you feeling great.

Good for you the difference is noticable. I've lost 16 and noticed my cloths are losser and not tight anymore. Hang in there.

My husband cooks for us and gets most of his tips from food network magazine and the food channel. They really have some tasty recipes, check it our. :smile:

Good going you can see the improvement. I've almost lost 10 lbs and can tell it in my cloths already. Eager for more that is for sure.

I have never been keen on exercise and now paying the price for it. So honey get moving so your body can stay healthy. Add me as a friend if you wish.

The end of a relationship is going to make you feel bad. Sounds like you need a girls evening out without blowing your healthy eating. Your grieving the end of this phase of your life just know it ok and part of life. Contact some girl pals and get out.

good for you each new milestone for us is valuable.

I have type 2 diabetes and my nurse nutritionist told me to gage each meal at 45 grams of carbs, about 20 carbs for snacks. She suggested 2000 calories and I'm losing weight steadily. Know your stressed out but for your health is most important is your to be able to do all the rest. Make it a priority.

fantastic. I know I gained a about 90 lbs after I had my kids and never got it off, it was stuck on me for years and really stresses the body. I'm working on getting healthy finally. Your smart to keep at it because it is easy to get lax and put it back on. Your doing great.

I have a lot of arthritis joint damage all over my body, exercise is so painful. My doctors encourage what ever exercise I can do to help me stay mobile. I did have a gym membership but I couldn't do much. I do exercise around my home and walk on my large patio and keep a chair near by so I can stop and rest if I can't…

It's been 2 1/2 weeks and I find that logging in my food really keeps me thinking about what goes in my mouth. Just like so many of you have already noted. It makes a huge difference.

Awesome honey keep up the efforts to get healthy.

Hi Older Mom, I'm a grandmother age 62 and I've been battling my weight since I had my boys. My youngest is 24 so at least 24 years I've been struggling. Here is something I learned recently after the doctor told me I have diabete (early stages). Well the diet they gave me was 45 grams of carbs per meal and I can have 18…

I used to skip breakfast, but my nutritionist said that is a no no. I've got early state diabete's and she told me breakfast is important for balancing my blood sugar. I have a one scoop whey protein in 1% low fat milk first thing after I get up. I have my coffee and I make sure I get 45 grams of carbs. I have found that I…

Nice job honey, dramatic difference. As soon as I lose some weight where you can see a difference I'll post them. Hope to see many more people on here share their success photos.

You look 10 years younger since you've lost weight, goodness I hope it does that for me. I'm 61. LOL

You look wonderful, it's inspiring to see the difference, thanks for sharing the pic. I've got a ton to lose. Ruth
