Yup! I'm 44, will be 45 at the end of August. Started my process 10/2011 at 307+ pounds at all of 5'3.5". MFP and watching what I ate got me started. Started working out at Curves 5 weeks later. By 9/2012, I'd lost 100 pounds and gained lots of muscle! I took a break at the end of October 2012 through January 2013 when I…

Thank you, all, for your kind words! Now, if there was a way for 12yo girls to lose their attitude in 10 seconds flat... haha

Great going!!! You look fantastic!

A twingle is a twin-term for a single after twins. It's just a fun way to include the sibling. :)

AWESOME!!!! It looks wonderful and you look amazing! <3

Amazing! Way to really make a change for yourself and your family! I am about 7.5 months into my journey and am about half-way to my goal. Really looking at BF % more that a number on the scale. I feel so much better so I know you must feel INCREDIBLE! Please post again after surgery and how all of that recovery goes for…

Beautiful! Way to celebrate a healthier you by getting prepped to travel! :)

I always make something that I know I will like and will be a healthier option for me. ;) I did this at a Christmas potluck and my dish of roasted spaghetti squash was GONE but the mashed potatoes were still there! Hehe How about slicing up some sweet potatoes and baking them like chips almost? They are quite yummy and a…

You are amazing! Thanks for being my MFPal for so long! Your encouragement and inspiration have helped me this far! <3 GREAT JOB and you are LOOKING Faaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnntastic! :love:

My MFP buddy, Megan2Project is doing this and LOVES it! I hope she will see my post here and give you some ideas! She has a blog which has before and after pics of her first 30 days, I think. This is her blog > http://themegan2project.blogspot.com/2012/03/weigh-in-and-progress-pics-for-feb.html She's awesome!

Well done! Beautiful campus to find an excuse to walk around, too! Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration! It's nice to hear that you are continuing with your goal setting as you live your new lifestyle!

I like to spread it on a Flat Out (wrap) or other low cal tortilla. Then I put a large handful of spinach or salad mix, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions. If I have some leftover chicken breast or shrimp, I will put that in there and wrap it up. Oh it is SOOO good! I like it on the Wasa crackers too.

Beautiful in both pictures!!! Nicely lost! Thanks for the inspiration!

Ohhh the lemon cookies by Little Brownie Bakers are delicious! Savannah Smiles. Only 28 cal per cookie! Confession...... I like to eat popcorn especially in the evenings. It's my indulgence! And I usually have something sweet with it too. :ohwell:

You should be proud!!!! Way to lose and gain back your life! Congratulations on your incredible journey and what is yet to come for you! Thanks for the inspiration to take each day as it comes!

Thanks for that USDA link. Amazing that bananas don't show up until the very end of page 2!!! And OJ concentrate... go ahead and eat the entire can. :sick: HAHA Funny Gov't folks. :huh:

Thank you for posting this!!! You look amazing! You are inspiring me!!! I have about 100 left to go and I know that I can do it! I do Curves too! I haven't done Zumba there yet because it is only one day in the evening. I have to try to rearrange my schedule, I guess! Enough about me! WAY TO LOSE!!!

Saboteur!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call out the cookie militia and have all of your coworkers put her favorite snacks on her desk. Either all at once or every day for a week. Nah... don't do that, really. Keep doing what you know is working for you! Don't let her steal your joy in your progress!

I did not read all of the posts but I want to make a point, whether or not it has been made previously, For some children, the school lunch is the ONLY nutritious food they have all day. Granted it is not as nutritious as is ideal. That said, I am not defending the slop that is served. Just stating a point. I wish it were…

I don't use any number except for Monday morning. ;) I do check my weight on the same scale at Curves each time I work-out. So Monday through Friday, I get a number but I only count Monday. :) For what it's worth, I also weigh on my grocery store's scale but I know that it weighs light. I jump on it... no not jump... GET…

Awesome!!! Great pics and story! Thank you for the inspiration!

Great job! You are looking awesome!!! Thanks for the inspiration! I'm 5'3.5" and have lost almost 40 (weigh-in tomorrow!)

Lived in PA for 10 years in -- Norristown, West Norriton, Phoenixville, Oaks, Pughtown, Fraser, East Norriton... Then to Hawai`i. Now in FL. :bigsmile:

WOW!!!! What an amazing difference! You look amazing!!!!! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Great pic! Thanks for the inspiration!

Way to go! Great pictures! Thanks for the inspiration!! From a fellow shorty (5'3.5")

I'm 5'3 1/2" :laugh: I started my journey 106 days ago at 307. My goal is 160-165 and then I will reassess. That last 20-40 pounds is another journey in itself! I want to see what my body looks like and my overall health is before going any farther.
