Your wardrobe dwindling down to yoga pants. That panic when Nothing fits and you cannot enjoy a special event because you are stuffed like a sausage into a frumpy dress you bought only because it fits, not because you actually like it

You are so tiny now, but beautiful in both! Congrats and enjoy all your energy and the perks of being in shape!

You look amazing!

Congratulations! I needed this inspiration today :-)

It's amazing how for these before and after pictures, you look like a relative of your former self, maybe a niece or daughter.

You have a tiny little waist, I bet you would look super cute in a fitted skirt with boots! Time to go shopping, congrats!

Hi, could you add me please? Mfp sw: 176 Starting weight: 173 Challenge goal weight: 153 Ultimate goal: 143

Hi, I'm Tracie. I am 48, married, and I have a son and daughter. I work from home, which gives me too much access to snacks when the pressure is on at work, or I'm bored. I've gained 40 pounds in about 4 years. I got here by sleep walking through life and numbing myself to situations that I was afraid to resolve. I think…

He sounds like a horrible human being. No one should speak that way to someone that they love, especially their partner. His behavior is pathetic and speaks of how crappy he feels about himself. You didn't deserve that

Congratulations! Your new self looks like your old self's daughter!

I have to agree with another post, you look like you have always been slender and fit. You look stunning!

I agree, difference appears much more! Congrats!!

You look amazing. You should be very proud that you stood up for yourself and overcame those food habits that landed us all larger than we should be.

Count me in! I am 47 and my weight loss has stalled, so this challenge will help! Writing my weight publicly is very sobering! CW 181 GW for Easter 161

Congratulations, you look wonderful!

If you are new to lifting, I would highly recommend getting a trainer. It is really important that you lift properly, to protect your back and get the most benefits of the work out. I know that it's hard to spend the money, but after a six weeks, you can go it alone.

Does your Mom buy healthy items for you, or is it all junk food? Do you think she would be open to buying healthy items and letting you make some fresh salads or other items for the family? You are setting a wonderful example for your siblings and I'm sure that you are making an impact, in the long run.

Wow, that is amazing! I bet people don't recognize you. I cannot imagine the amount of work required to make this dramatic of a change: Congratulations!!!

You look amazing! How long did it take you to lose the weight and how did you do it :)

You all look wonderful. Congratulations and enjoy the results!!!

That is the absolute truth in all 'hard' things in life. Thanks for the kick in the pants... I needed it!!!

I will say that I seem puffier and more bloated when I drink beer. I do love a drink in the evenings after the kids are in bed and I can relax, but I try to stick with a glass of wine, or a mixed drink. That said, I absolutely love beer more, it's just not something that I have frequently these days.

Wow!! You look like a completely different person!!! And so much happier (besides gorgeous). Congrats!!

Congratulations!!! I can most certainly see a difference, especially in your face and in your waist. I noticed too that your skin and complexion look much healthier!! Good job and good luck!!

Goodness! You look at least 30 lbs lighter!!!

Absolutely amazing!!!

You look wonderful, so beautiful and confident!!!

Unbelievable!!!! You are very inspiring!!

You don't even look related to the guy in the first picture. It is so sad how shut down you look in the first picture, and in the second picture... pure joy :-)

You have lost weight everywhere. You look great!!
