Your smile shows the most change!!! Congratulations and good luck as you continue your journey to a healthier YOU!

Job well done! You deserve a great big CONGRATULATIONS!

Great work!!! Best wishes for continued success!!

First off...to the author of this thread....it appears that lots of us thought it was a great idea!!! Of course we all could complain about our spouse/significant other at some point in time, but isn't it nice to reflect on the things that are positive and help us stay in touch with why we initially fell for this…

Great work! 30lbs is what I am hoping to lose. Thank you for posting and the inspiration you bring to many of us with your success! Keep up the great work. You will be at your goal weight before you know it! - Barb

Close counts too!

So what is your time for a two mile run?

Hi there! I am 41 and hope to lose 30-40 lbs. I have been a member of MFP for awhile now, but have just recently started taking things seriously. Feel free to add me. I would love to have as many friends as possible offering encouraging comments (cold hard truth) and to share this life journey with! Best of luck to you!!!

X-ray technologist, I do general x-ray and mammography. I actually move a lot with my job. I used to wear a pedometer daily and usually got my 10,000 steps in each and every day!

I guess I will just repeat what many above me said...good for you that he is gone! So glad that you two didn't have a family together and you would have to explain to the the kids that daddy is a fool and left! Do this for you...you are VERY young my dear, and hopefully this is just a bump in the road and a learning…

You look amazing! I am sure that you will have continued success.

Wow...well this sure is the hot button topic on here today! I left my diary open for people to comment. I am not a thinned skinned person, so if someone comments "the cold hard truth" about my diet then it is good for me to see that and take accountability for my food choices. Every day can't be perfect...I am usually too…

The responses that everyone has made on this budget meal topic are amazing! I am new this week to MFP and am still in awe of everyone's wiliness to help one another. - Can someone help me understand what "Bump" means though? I have seen it on a couple of posts and just can't figure it out! Thanks!

We are in the same boat! I am only 41 and at my heaviest. I do swim for exercise, but would love to wear a smaller suit to my workouts! Hang in there! You can do it! Best of luck.

I love the before and after pictures, it really inspires me! Today is my first day on here. I set up an account awhile back, but never did anything with it! Taking control of my weight and eating habits is going to be my Christmas present to myself! Congratulations on your weight loss! You and everyone else who posted…

Good luck to you!! I wish you all the best! I am new here to...the support that everyone is offering is great!

I am new too...day one for me. I am not even 100% sure how this works, but could use friends and a support system! Have a wonderful week!
