Great job!

lol, what a funny story, I know exactly what you mean! If some of my clothes shrink just a little bit, they won't fit anymore lol. Congrats, I'm hoping to get where you are..lol

So inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for sharing, you've done an amazing job!

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing, you look great!

That's so awesome! I'm so happy for you guys, you both look amazing!

Congrats! FYI, you were super cute in your before shot also :o)

OOh! I didn't know they had a new flavor. Pure Protein is my favorite brand so far too. The chewy chocolate chip flavor is awesome. I especially like the low sugars in this brand because high sugar meal replacements just make me hungry.

Weird, I meant to quote mcope. lol

Totally agree. When you say you lose 30lbs and you look totally different, if you say you're going for another 30lbs they think you've lost your mind and you will look anorexic. I think it has a lot to do with perception and also some people who are just trying to be polite.

First of all, you look amazing and pretty thin at 193! You look great! It is totally possible to be healthy at this weight but all that depends on your particular health situation. You should consult with your doctor and make sure everything checks out. As already mentioned, the most important thing is continuing to eat…

Congrats on figuring out what works for you! You can certainly lose weight successfully without counting calories. The thing is, you need to have the knowledge of the nutrition and portion sizes to do this successfully. Some people get really obsessive too and the counting overwhelms them. The point I think is that you…

I had to post the photo in another browser to see it. Wow! You are doing a great job!!! Congrats!

I don't get on the scale around the time of month because the scale always shows me being heavier. You basically can still lose fat but show a different weight due to water retention. If you're anything like me, once my period is gone, so does go the water weight so my weight jumps right back where it's supposed to be.

I am so longing for the opportunity to go shopping through my closet! lol. Congrats! I know that must be a wonderful feeling!

Congrats! I see the hard work paid off. You look great!

OK I just saw a full length picture..LOL http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/29/drew-careys-massive-weigh_n_663467.html I actually think the outfit is all wrong. Geez I would fire the stylist. First, of all, he looks old because he looks pale and all gray. You can't even see his eyebrows, as his hair, face, skin and…

I agree that I think it's the outfit and hair cut that make him look older. That was the first thing I thought about when I saw him "why is he wearing those dreadful clothes?" The clothes even look too big for him and is not complimenting his new body. I'm very happy for him and I hope he struts his stuff and gets age…

I say just do the best you can. It's hard to cook almost everything you eat. Just try to limit the processed foods and enjoy a Kashi bar once in a while! :o)

I don't think you can go wrong with going over on fiber. I think too much protein is only bad for certain people with certain medical conditions. I changed my settings to get at least 25g of fiber a day. MFP only calculated 15g for me and I think that is too low. I don't meet the 25g exactly every day but I get close.…

Great way to reward yourself. Great job!!!

Thanks for the inspiration guys! You look amazing!

It's all about the makeup of the calories rather than the calories themselves. The only way you can know what's right for your body and your metabolism is to go to a specialist, get your blood drawn and do specific tests.

Great job! Continue to focus on yourself and your happiness!

Such a great feeling!!!

You're so right. When you log everything you can sit back and see it in writing...like, OK, I see why I'm not losing weight. You can't get on that poor me attitude anymore and make all these excuses of why your life is so hard and how every body else can lose weight except for you..LOL (that's how I think). Now I can see…

Honestly, not everyone is going to want to hear about how wonderful your life is going when they are feeling badly about their own life. It's not right, but it's reality. She might be feeling like you're rubbing it in just to make her feel worse about herself. And because she's feeling worse about herself, she's going to…

I completely agree with HippyGalore. You can't force her to do anything but you should not ignore her with the resolution that she just has to come to terms with this on her own. Don't focus on losing weight. She's not an idiot. She knows that she is self destructing and that is going to make her feel even worse about…

Thanks for sharing! A real testament to how much dedication pays off !
