Wow what an inspiration you are!

I am back! I'm looking for friends again. Seem to have lost them all in the hiatus. Please send me a request if you're interested in having a motivating partner and supporter of your goals! I am looking forward to helping all my MFP friends again! :smiley:

Wow you can really see the difference in your face! Great job!

Hola Sammers! I don't have experience being successful in the winter...YET (I live in Alaska), BUT I think I finally understand what to do. I've had a lot of success these last couple of weeks staying committed. :) Remember what makes your body feel good. Crap food always effects me negatively in some way and I finally…

Excited! Thank you for your work on this! :)

You know, I too sometimes gain when I think I should have lost. I recently discovered that I go way over on my sugar intake even though I don't go over on my calories. I think since sugar turns into fat, that may be my mistake. It's little things we have to pay attention to. I am going to try cutting out some sugar and see…

Hi! Here I am! I've been on an off MFP for years. I need motivation (Friends) as well! I am 38 years old, 5'2" tall, and am currently 228 lbs. I never had a weight problem (119lbs until I turned 20) and was always active. Due to traumatic events in my early 20's I started gaining. My heaviest was 252 lbs in November 2011.…

You should be extremely proud! It's hard to see yourself differently because you have come out of your comfort zone as far as your body. You look awesome! Good job! :)

I need new friends as well! My sister and I are great motivators as well! We'd love to be partners in this journey with you. Please add us! Her username is danarochelle. :drinker:

You look great! You are inspiring. :)

Your stats are exactly the same as mine! You're an inspiration and you look AMAZING! I am very proud of you. Keep going!!! :drinker:

Maybe try drinking some of your calories. Find some protein shakes, or drinks with a lot of vitamins. You should be able to find something tasty, healthy and full of calories. :) Good luck!

Good for you, you look like a different person. Keep up the good work! :)

You have done something that a lot of us dream of doing but are afraid of the unknown, therefore we never reach our goals. You should be so proud of yourself and how far you've come. You can now have the future you've always wanted and be truly, truly happy. You are an inspiration to us all!!! We thank YOU for sharing with…

Hi and welcome! It's very supportive and informative site! Feel free to add me as a friend! :)

Add me! :P

You're right! We've all been through this many times! Just think......6 months, or even 1 year from now you will think to yourself ' wow am I ever happy that I stuck with it!' :P We are here with you the whole way!

I don't normally celebrate Halloween (dress up that is), but I'd love to start if I'm at my goal weight by then. SW: 246 GW: 160 Exercise program(s) you're doing: Local gym membership 40 min day 6 days/week Costume you'd like to be able to wear by Halloween: still deciding ;)

I am so proud of you!!! You can do it!! Feel free to add me! :bigsmile:

I could use more friends like you too! Add me! :)

If I knew what a Jimmy Johns was or if we had one, I'd be very grateful for the tips! LOL

It's the number of miles you've covered! :happy:

Ebony or Ivory! :tongue:

Wow! If I were you I'd have a hard time NOT staring at myself in front of the mirror! :drinker: Great job!!

I've heard that water helps speed up your metabolism and keep it regular. So it makes sense you are weighing less on Fridays. :)
