Congratulations! You look healthier and happier! All that hard work paid off.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I never thought that I would. I lost 70 in about 16 months and gained back 30. Why? I felt SO proud of my success. I was working out regularly and felt great. I had many compliments too. It's too complex to address fully here but I am an emotional eater who gets severe sugar cravings. Many people can eat sweets but I guess…

Honeycrisp!!!:love: :heart: Created here in MN. You're welcome!!! :flowerforyou:

I teach Head Start; so I am constantly exposed to nasty stuff. I get the shop because the kids still don't cover their sneezes and coughs. I also don't want to get it and expose my husband who has had heart surgery.

Whole fruit every time. Except when I had a cold last week. I was craving oj and it really seemed to help.

Two or five. I do like them all though. Have fun! My 40th is in 2 years! I am hoping to be at my goal by then.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

This is what I was thinking, although with out the c*** word. I am an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher and have some experience with children (even older ones) who are on the autism spectrum. Some of you may not understand that children with severe autism can, and will, wail and scream for HOURS and HOURS at a…

I am sorry you were hurt but I think ^^^this^^^^ says it well. Use this crap as fuel to burn away the fat. Stop letting others live rent free in your head. I had two people at a class reunion ask me when I was expecting way back when I weighed 165, that's right. That's a 1 in front. I didn't change and gained another 105.…

Do a search above. there are several threads about it. Seems to be pretty popular among women lifters. I want to lose a lot more weight before I start but plan to use it when I get going on it.

I LOVE this! Puts to rest the idea that women who lift heavy weights get bulky. You look amazing and proud and fierce as heck! Next year you'll take the record you missed this year!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the incredible testimony! I am saving this so I can share it with my husband who said he wants to lose 60 pounds by next Spring. I'd like to see him lose 80 but I'll gladly take 60. I totally agree with the weighing yourself daily idea. If I don't I back slide too easily.:flowerforyou:

Incredible results for you hard work and dedication to a better, healthier you! Congratulations! The rest will come off quickly. I can't wait to see you at goal.:drinker: :flowerforyou:

I had surgery after messing around with therapy. Healed very quickly after the surgery and can do anything with no pain.

Yaaay! Congratulations on your win! Sounds like you found the right headspace now all you have to do is recapture that for next time!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I just toss a couple of lean pot roasts in mine and cook away. When I get home I pull it and shred one and people can make their own BBQ with whatever BBQ sauce they want. Or they can just eat it plain with what ever fresh or frozen veggies I make. Then my husband makes gravy and we have another meal of sliced beef and…

Congratulations! Yes there IS a difference! Falling backwards is tough. I am just coming off a 32 pound gain. It is so good to see another MFP success story like yours. Great attitude and hard work in action is success even in the early days of getting healthy. Keep that bright smile lit up as you keep going!:flowerforyou:…

Welcome to MFP Rohan! You are right logging everything is a pain in the butt, but so is not being able to walk from room to room or climb a flight of stairs without being winded, so is having a stroke. As the weight begins to come off you will see the benefits, rather quickly I might add. I agree with BeachIron....weigh…

I read the other day that a curvy woman does NOT hove rolls of fat. Rather, she has the curves nature intended. I guess shapely but firm and tight, not round and flabby. It works for what I see as a difference between fat and curvy.

Incredible! Some terrific photos! I especially love the kick and the one where you are doing a back bend. I am curious ; how tall are you because my husband is about 285 and you look a lot slimmer than he is but he's 5' 8". Keep working hard. Your last photo looks like a happy guy.:flowerforyou:

Extraordinary! I can't wait until I can post that I've lost 126 pounds! That is pretty much my goal. Congratulations. I an coming back off a 30 pound gain after initially losing 70. I too have found some foods that are severe triggers. Not sure why I can't eat candy corn without eating a bag and then devouring two more…

and me!!!

Incredible! What a wonderful gift you have given to your children, as well as to yourself!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good for you for making changes and still enjoying your life. For you it might be a better plan than all 80 in 8 months. more chance to slowly accept the changes cognitively as well as behaviorally. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I am also a teacher, Head Start. I drive about 45 minutes each way everyday, plus I work a full 8 hours. I only used my gym a couple of times last year and put on 30 of the 70 pounds I lost when I was out of work the year before. :( I am trying hard to figure out a schedule that will work for me too. I can't wake up…

Good for you making new changes that will move you forward. I am lucky to have a doctor who listens to me and praises my results. It makes all the difference.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Congratulations on both the weight loss and on your growing family. The baby is adorable!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Bump for later.
