Thank you. I bit the bullet and hit the scale. It was hard watching that weight loss number on my ticker drop from 71lbs lost to 6lbs lost, but at least I didn't gain even more than I started with originallly. We can do this...

I took Phentermine for the first two months, and did surprisingly well. I'm not taking it anymore, and don't seem to need it anymore, but it was a godsend when I was starting out, and struggling. It helps keep you from feeling like you are starving, and after a couple of months you won't need it anymore because you will…

You look awesome, congrats!

My mom was just diagnosed with mucosal melanoma in her nasal cavity. Only 1 out of 25,000,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with it. Basically the same odds as winning a state lottery. I hope that I never have to make the choice that you are about to make, but I know that if I had to, I would have to let her…

Yup, I started in October and have lost an average of 4.7 pounds since. But, I will say that I started substantially larger than you, and I'm sure that makes a difference.

I'm 5'1" though I try and tell myself I'm really 5'2". I started on October 21st and have lost 66 pounds, going from 344 to 278 and a size 30/32 to a 22/24. :)

Tips... I have religously written down every bite of everything that goes into my mouth. If I eat it, I write it. Even if it was a bad day. I also do my best to eat healthy. I see a lot of people on MFP whose food diaries look like pure junk, but they are losing weight because it is still under their daily calorie limit.…

I dunno why the sizes are so funky, sorry about that. :)

I would love to join. My goal is to lose 14 pounds by the end of February. That will put me at a total loss of 80 pounds since I started changin' ma ways. :) Starting weight: 278 Challenge goal weight: 264 I currently follow MFP's diet guidelines and try to only choose healthy foods. I am also going to try and drag myself…

Congratulations! I can't wait to hit 100. Fabulous job!

We are having a Biggest Loser competition at my job, and there are some weeks where I am so mad on Fridays because I am exactly where I was the Friday before. Then the next Friday rolls around and I've suddenly dropped 7 or 8 pounds. Sometimes it seems like you aren't losing and then it shows up the next week. Another idea…

You CAN do it, and you WILL! Congrats on getting started!

I'm a high school Special Education English teacher. (I teach kids with dyslexia/dysgraphia, etc.)

I make an egg white omelet with spicy chicken sausage, bell peppers and 2% cheese. It has under 250 calories and keeps me full all day. I make 5 of them on Sunday night and put them in ziplocks so that I can pop one in the microwave for one minute in the morning before work. They are awesome and it only takes about 20…

I also wear Bare Minerals, and I love it. Do you use their foundation? I always put it on first, and it gives the powder real staying power.

Hi everyone! :flowerforyou: My name is Cori and I am a special education teacher from Tucson, Arizona. I have struggled with my weight since I was a sophomore in high school. I finally decided enough was enough on October 21 of this year. I went to the doctor and found out that I weighed 344 pounds. That was about 50…

I also have LA Fitness. I pay 31 dollars a month with no sign up fee.

I am just over 5'2" and have lost 55 pounds. The pictures show a 40 pound difference. This was after I had lost 15 pounds and was at 329 This was just a few days ago at 289

Count me in! Name: Cori Current weight: 289 Goal weight: 122 What you would like to accomplish in 90 day: I would like to lose 45 pounds in the 90 days. That would put me at 244 and exactly 100 pounds down from when I started. These pics are from yesterday

You should. I have tried to lose weight a thousand times over the past 15 years. This is the first time I have really seen results, and this quickly. The only true difference is MFP...the support and logging your food really helps. :)

Thanks everyone. When I look at them I really don't see too much of a difference, but I did notice that my arm and my head look bigger in the new ones, which means the rest of me must be smaller. :)

Thank you!

Um, I don't know why my pictures aren't working. I followed all the directions in the sticky thread, but no luck. :( Any suggestions would be appreciated.
