Congrats. Your hair is fab too!

Hi I used to live with someone like that too. It can be very hard but you can't really demand that they eat rice cakes just because you want to lose weight. I suppose you could try convincing him that though all the good food might not be going to his waist it's going to his arteries and try implement a health meals…

Wow - you look fab!

Congrats. You look fab!

Wow!

That's such a great idea - you might be getting older but yore getting hotter so it doesn't matter. Belated happy birthday!

So inspiring! Thanks for posting.

That's Brilliant. You might find you get an extra boost of motivation now to keep it under the 200. Well done!

Great job! And in under 4 months too! Well done!

Amazing. Well done!

That's brilliant. I can't get into exercise myself and keep trying and failing at the running thing. Would love to try Zumba though. Well done!

A YEAR!!! Brilliant. Well done.

Thats amazing- Well done! . Did anyone ever tell you you look a little like Maggie Gyllenhall now?

I'm 5'5. SW - 215 - CW 185. UGW - 145 Despite having lost 30 lbs (26 on MFP) I haven't gone down a dress size yet but I do feel better in myself. I don't know if other 5'5ers have similar problems with shifting dress sizes.

Looks like way more than 27lbs. Well done!!!!

Wow! Well done. I love posts like this s- they are a positive kick up the backside.

Wow - I've gone from 215 to 185 but my body doesn't look anything like yours yet. Well done. You look amazing. What height are you?

I try to be as supportive as possible on these boards. But have no time for promotion of anorexia in this fashion. I have a great amount of respect for MFP but trying to be 99 llb at 5 Ft 7 is not healthy (at 145 your bang on a normal healthy weight) and promoting that gives the site a bad name. I mean no disrespect to the…

That's amazing. Well Done. So adding you. Now!

I always have a "cheat day" at the weekends. it used to be two cheat days. I found logging everything - even the really bad stuff helps. it makes you more aware of just how bad you're being. Logging is key. I'm getting better - Instead of a whole day - I might have a bad meal....hope that helps.

That's super. I have a pair of trousers that a a watermark for loss too. Sometimes clothes are kinder than the scales.

Hi Emma Welcome to MFP. the support here is great. hope it works for you. Also, I've just added you . Libby

I've lost 24 llb. I'm having the same issue. I'm still a 16 (UK). I don't know if I was deluding myself beforehand but I really thought after 2 stone that I'd go down a size. My wedding dress maker told me 14 llb would = 1 dress size. I'm quite big boned and broad hipped so I'm thinking for me - maybe 2 stone is closer to…

Incredible!

145 is my goal. My skeletal form wouldn't allow me to be less than a 12 around the hips and I like my curves so I'd be over the moon at 145.

Amazeballs! You look gorgeous. And so happy. Well done!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Well done.

A lot of the time the additional info (fiber/carbs/sugars) don't make sense on MFP. Might want to weigh and check that.

I'm a grocery list fiend - it's the one area I plan to a T every week. From both a diet and wallet perspective, it's a must for me. You might try what I had last night: ***Stuffed chicken Breast with Butternut Squash Salad*** 600 Calories (depending on the brands you use)- Gives a really big portion Serves 2 90g Chicken…

Wow - what a great result. Well done.
