These make me sad. But, I am happy that everyone can find support here. You are all beautiful! Once, I was told by a guy on a first date that I'd be a fox if I lost weight. I also was told once by a drunk guy that when he's drunk he "likes fat chicks."

Nutella. I can eat a giant jar in one day. I don't keep it in the house.

These are all amazing! Congratulations to everyone!!

Yup. That's me! Thank you!

I hope this works...I apologize if it doesn't... BEFORE: AFTER: Sorry...it didn't work and both of my sons woke up from naps. Gotta run. I'll try later!

Best of luck to you on your journey. Lots of hugs and positive thoughts sent to you during this difficult time. I would love to add you as a friend.

I am looking for new friends as well! I will add you. Anyone can add me as well. :-)

Hello, everyone! I'd like to befriend stay-at-home-moms, too! I stay home with my two boys - a 4 year old and 7 month old.

I am with you! I would like to make new friends, too!

Wow! Very inspiring!

I will be your friend. I am looking for new friends, too. Our stories are similar! I am back after well over a year. I have 4 year old and 6 month old boys. :-)

The song will be stuck in my head for days now. I may just have to watch it again.

I loved the cheesy fantasy flicks - Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal...

I am posting because I totally understand your frustration! My scale virtually did not move since July and I was losing my mind. However, I had to buy new pants in September. I measured on a whim last night to find that I have lost 10 inches since then! I still weigh the same. It is happening. Eventually your body will…

mudderintraining and racmac - When I "sugar detox," it usually takes 4 days. During that time, I am a monster and usually tell my husband that I am not responsible for the words that come out of my mouth. ;) After that, I feel amazing. You can do it! Good morning, everyone!

Good morning, everyone. I wanted to post yesterday but just didn't find the time! msbanana - I totally understand your frustration. I have been battling a foot injury (which I believe to be severe tendonitis) for all of September. I am finally getting in to see the doctor today - it has hindered my workouts and some days I…

I would like to join this group! I am fairly new on MFP. I have have been eating this way for the past 6 months, have lost a LOT of weight, and have since come to learn that I am incredibly sensitive to gluten. Because of that, this lifestyle suits me well and my stomach issues have just about disappeared. I am not always…

You look fantastic! Great job!

Eating half of a large pizza, throwing in a few breadsticks....and finishing it off with half (or more) of the those dessert cinnapies. All of the food was washed down with a few glasses of Cherry Pepsi. Ugh. Just typing that out made my stomach hurt!

Best. Feeling. Ever! :) Congrats!

Nutella. I could eat a whole jar in one sitting.

Ha! Actually, my weight now is finally what my driver's license says but I still have about 30 lbs to lose. I picked 145 since that was my weight in high school. I will, of course, be happy if get below that, but 145 just seemed ideal to me.

I am basically using the belly fat cure principle right now, but I have taken it one step further and basically do it "paleo." Sure, you lose weight with only calorie restriction but also tracking sugar will make a huge impact. I restrict my sugar to (relatively) 15 a day and only get sugars from fruits and vegetables. I…

I have been paleo since around May (with a few stints off due to traveling). I love it. I feel better than ever and realized that gluten sensitivity was the cause of stomach issues for many years.

I love reading about everyone's changes! It is very motivating. I am barely 5'7" and weigh 175. I wear a comfortable 14, and am definitely on my way to a 12 soon. I started at 217 and size 18.

Two wonderful things have happened to you this year! Congrats! You look amazing!

Thank you both! I really think that this website is going to be so great!

I am very new here (I just joined 5 minutes ago) and ended up here at the recommendation of a friend for this VERY reason. I started at 217 and am currently STUCK at 175. I have been doing some reading about plateaus. I believe I am actually not getting enough calories in my day. Plateaus happen for many reasons, and from…
