Thank you!

Mental state aside i think you body is pretty rockin

thank you!

It has taken me two years to lose 30 pounds and I have another 30 to go. Find a picture of you when you were at a healthy weight. Look at it every day. Log your food. Even the smallest bit.

Melanie, Sorry for your bad luck. Great news about your decision to change your life! I am not an expert but I have lost 30 pounds in the last two years, including two surgeries that threw me off. If you haven't already I suggest consulting a therapist to see if you need to supplement your life with an antidepressant. Also…

Hi Ashley1216201! Weight alone can be misleading / discouraging. If you are adding muscle while you lose fat it can look like nothing is happening even for months. Take your measurements and keep track of them. It is important that you eat all the calories you should. Your body could think its starving and do its best to…

hi I'll be your friend

thank you for sharing it is what I needed to hear

I use a fire extinguisher approach with a food that is not very dense in calories and I can eat a lot of. Egg whites is huge. You can dress it up with a little cheese and spices. I challenge you to eat 210 calories of egg whites at a sitting (one container). V8 low sodium is another good one, down a can and all is better…

Anchors away!:smile:

Memphis here

Im in the same boat needing to lose another 17 to get to overweight. Were you ever stuck at a weight for weeks/mpnths?

Happy for you!!

Well done!!:heart:

Its good to see that weight loss isnt an overnight thing. I like that you took your time and did not rush.

The last thing I am going to stress out about are pictures of women who can finally strut their stuff. Ladies, I am here for you!!!!

You are a beautiful woman and an inspiration.

I sure do see a difference. I bet it is true however that the last 20% of the weight you loose will give you 80% of the satisfaction. Keep at it. What do they say in poker, don't count your chips when your sitting at the table. Losing thirty pounds means you have what it takes to go all the way. Do it !!

Horaaaay! Same boat. Need to lose 20 more to get to overweight. Keep going!

hi You really are doing great! Several things....1-2 pounds a week is a good goal. For many people it is a difference of only 500 calories a day. You need to be very careful about tracking your food. You can burn up 500 calories just like that. or you can blow a weeks worth of work on a single 3000 calorie dinner out. If…

I am sorry this happened but your motivation and confidence should not come from the opinion of others- good or bad. All that matters is what you believe. Some say you shouldn't publicly proclaim your goal and progress to any and all (MFP is the exception). There are many people who want you to stay as you are or even want…

You look great! I am 17 pounds away to reach overweight from obese. Keep going and when you get there stay there.:smile:

You are beautiful.

Your goals are the same as mine, great to see what success looks like. What is your maintenance plan going forward? I always found it hard keeping it off.

Hoooray!!

I'm right behind you at 33.3 down 21. Was severly obese. Feels great does it not?

Each time you try your chances of making it are greater. Think about the day, what you ate, how you felt. You tried eating whatever you wanted and it did not bring you happiness, did it? I too have lost and regained. I now am not trying to lose weight, I am trying to live healthier- in mind as well as body. You must have a…

Hi you

reducing calories by watching what you eat is great but you must also wake up your body through regular work outs. 30 minutes each day walking etc. if you are working out you may be adding muscle as you lose fat. take a tape measure and track progress there too.

don't weigh your self every day. your body weight can swing five pounds in 24 hours due to water and just having food in your gut. You may go 3-4 days without seeing anything than bamm down 1 or 2. be patient and stick to the numbers I am down 15 in 50 days but its is not a smooth march lots of ups and downs. Also your…
