Good for you!! Great dedication to a very difficult workout routine. You can do this!! You will see that each day you will get better and better ... and do it in less time. I agree with the quality before quantity. You can do all the sit ups in the world, but if they're not done properly you won't get the same results.…

Congrats on your wonderful achievement!! I have heard of people reversing a diagnosis of diabetes. My hubby is also diabetic. Since starting MFP 3 weeks ago he has already lost 9 pounds (21 pounds over all since November). He has stopped eating the sweets and junk. He has also stopped taking his medication, and his numbers…

Way to go! Keeping the weight off is definitely a lifestyle choice. I found that out the hard way. Been here since 2011, but went off in mid 2012. I gained 8 pounds...not good. In January I decided to take back control, and have lost 4 pounds so far. I'm here for you if you need some encouragement. I'm on several times a…

Hello! First of all I want to say you are doing an amazing job at logging in daily. That to me is half the battle. I don't like to workout either, but found I have been getting a "rush" from the results. It is really something I have to psych myself out to do. It seems the more I do it, the more inches I lose, the better I…

Hi there! My moment was in June if 2011. I was watching Extreme Makeover - Weight loss edition. I was not always overweight, but gained 30 pounds after getting married in 2006. I thought to myself "if these people can lose over 100 pounds in a year I should be able to lose the 30 pounds. Well I came close, and lost 23.…

Last night I made my own sweet potato fries (well more like chips). I have to say they were to die for! I searched the internet and just used portions of various recipes to make my own concoction. Here is what I did: Ingredients: Sweet Potatoes (I cut mine in circles because it was easier to keep them at a similar…

I did the same thing. I was very dedicated to MFP, and lost 23 pounds. I went off for a few months (got cocky I guess) and gained 8 back...WHAT??? Needless to say I was not happy :sad: . Since starting back in January I have lost 2 pounds, and I'm back to being totally dedicated to what I know works best for me! Feel free…

You have conquered so much adversity, and have risen above it all. You certainly inspire me. It is so easy to turn to comfort foods and curl up and do nothing when times get tough. It's as if the hard times motivated you more! I say you get that dress altered to fit your amazing new figure! Thanks for sharing your…

I agree with the others who have replied. Weight loss is a journey, and you have to be patient yet dedicated untinl you reach your destination. When I first started my weight loss journey in 2011 it took me over a month to start seeing results in weight loss and inches lost. I was discouraged at times, but I never lost…

I'm right there with ya. I joined in June of 2011, and lost 23 pounds by November of that year. Pretty close to my goal of 40 pounds.Then "life happened" for me too, and I gained 8 back...ugh. Now I'm back on MFP, and back on track. Feel free to add me if you need a friend to keep you accountable and encouraged.:happy:

I can totally see the difference. The loss in weight is obvious, but what I see most is the difference in your stature. Your first picture shows you a little hunched over, but the second shows you standing tall and proud. You have every right to! What you have done is truly amazing!! 45 pounds is a lot. How did you do it?
