Great work!!

Wonderful job!

Awesome job - both of you!

I assume, at 1400 calories, you're aiming for approximately a pound a week, which it seems like you're hitting. That is great progress! You look fabulous!

Congratulations! Good work!

Wow! Wonderdul work! Good job!

Wonderful job! Congratulations on such well-earned progress!!! You look great!

Awesome! Great work - you should be proud!!

You look beautiful in both pictures! Weight loss, they say, happens in the kitchen. If you want to lose weight, a good first step is eating less than your body needs to maintain your current lifestyle. While you don't need super healthy food to do this, processed foods have so many calories that you might end up feeling…

@sranney2 , you click on the person's name. When that screen pops up, you click on their name on that page - then you can friend request them.

@Pennyjo1010 , good for you!! Whether she says it or not, your daughter is absolutely proud of you...it's just hard to say it at that age. You can do this!

Wow, @Orphia, that is AWESOME! Inspiring work!

Dem arms!!! Wow! Is there a specific weight lifting program you've followed?

I am also late to the game, but I got back on MFP on 8/15 with the goal of losing 40lbs by Christmas so I'd like to join in! I'm less set on that amount than I was at the beginning, but I'd love encourage and be encouraged by others pursuing the same goal! SW: 173lbs GW: 135lbs CW: 161lbs 8/15 173lbs 8/21 170lbs 8/29 168…

@fanncy0626 , thank you again! I have an android phone and "Swing Timer" doesn't seem to be an option in android, so I'll download another interval timer. Thank you for that recommendation and the 5 week plan recommendation - I need some structure to what I'm doing. I am blessed that my husband has always loved how I have…

I have a few mini goals that are finally on the horizon: 1. Get into the "healthy" BMI range. (5 more lbs) 2. To have a waist measurement in the heart-healthy range. (1.5 more inches) 3. To weigh less than my husband. (7 more lbs!) 4. Be in the "healthy" body fat percentage range. (3.4% to lose)

@fanncy0626 , I'm mostly a lurker, but I wanted to tell you that I'm another person you've inspired with your story. I started working on getting back in to shape (with 40lbs to lose) on August 15th. I came across your story within a couple of weeks and bought a 15lb KB. Most days I go for a run/jog with my kids in the…

You might want to consider recording your measurements. I was surorised at my progress once I did that. (I've been at this 4.5 weeks and have lost 10lbs. My clothes are just now noticibly looser.) Keep it up; you're doing great!

Great job!!!

@jadeysjourney, wow - you have been through so much. Good for you for aiming for a healthy weight in a healthy way. Do you have good support from friends/family?

Awesome work! Good for you!!

Congratulations for making healthier choices! May you continue to love your body more and more and continue to make choices to keep you healthy physically and mentally. Good work!

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this one myself!

I'm so sorry. That stinks. Hopefully you are ecstatic enough to more than make up for his lack of manners!

Wow! Great job! You can get that last 15. Don't get discouraged!

Kat, I am sorry for your losses too. And I want to congratulate you on making changes for your own health and that of your (future) children. You really can do this! I love checking out the success stories for motivation and encouragement.

Awesome! You can really see the difference!
