I have been doing the Vi shakes for over a year now and I love them. Plenty of options and it tastes great.

At my heaviest 350, I was on a flight to Denver and couldn't fasten my seat belt. I tucked it under my clothes because I was too mortified to ask for the extender. Then my husband took a picture of my sons and I in 2009 at the Steelers Super Bowl Send off and I was horrified at how huge I looked.

Thanks for the advice about massaging the scarring. It has started to become less of a bother. I will start doing this as well. I really want to push the ab workouts.

My scar still feels awkward. I hate for anyone to touch it, including myself. I keep pushing through as well because I am determined to get that flatter belly. Thanks ladies. I am so glad to not be alone in this.

We have lost about the same about. You look fantastic. Doesn't it feel amazing to look and see that much of a difference? I still have to do double takes every once in a while. Way to go!!!!!!

Hi also from WV. Congrats on quitting smoking. I struggle with that off and on because it is how I relieve stress. I am a 35 year old mother of 2 who understands exactly what you mean about the fat. I started my journey almost 2 years ago at over 300 lbs. I am not hovering around 200. This is a great place to get the…

Amazing progress.....way to go!!!

Amazing progress.....way to go!!!

I have been going since October of last year. I have dropped over 45 lbs since starting. It really does work. Feel free to friend me and look at my pictures.

You look amazing. Keep up the hard work. I started my journey weighing 300 lbs. I am not 7 pounds away from onederland. In never thought it was going to get here. It is so worth it though.

It wasn't my favorite thing at first but now it has become second nature to me. I have been doing this since July of last year. You will get there. You will start noticing that you don't feel good when you don't work out. That helps motivate you. Good luck.

I am so with you on this one. I was thrilled when I hit the scales and weighted less than my hubby. I have never weighted less than him in all the years we have been married. It is a great NSV.

I have come a long way so I know what you are talking about. I started this journey at 300 lbs. I started MPF when I was 264 and I had plateaued. I am not at 214. It has taken me since January of last year till now to get to where I am at. It happens but all good things come to those who work hard and persevere. Good luck…

I know where you are coming from. I have been so ambitious for so much of my life that I have really not focused on my health. Last January I had an amazing new job...34 and already an Assistant Principal at a large middle school and a wonderful husband and kids. I decided then and there it was time to do it for me. I was…

There is no reason to be nervous. It is something that every single person on here has went through and is still going through. We are here to support each other. Welcome.

Welcome to MFP. This is a great place to get that extra support. Congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding.

This is an amazing site because of the amazing people that you will meet and that will support you. I use it as my motivation when I am having an off day. Someone on here will always have a kind encouraging word to say.

This is an amazing site. Welcome to the community. I have tried WW as well and it wasn't enough to keep me honest. I woke up a year and a half ago and decided I didn't want to weigh 300 lbs anymore. I joined on her when I hit a plateau as well. The amazing people you will meet on here really help keep you motivated.

Welcome to the MFP family and good luck with starving that fat lady.

Welcome to the MFP family. It is great to have people you can talk to about your mission. I would be happy to be one of those buddies.

I have a high stress, long hours job as well. I began taking a bee pollen extract along with a multi vitamin. I did the bee pollen for a few months to give me the energy boost that I needed and not I don't need it for the boost. It really gave me the push until my natural body system started taking care of the energy I…

Welcome....you are right this site is gold. I admire an athlete that is admitting that they need to have accountability as well. Good luck in keeping yourself in athlete form.

Welcome....feel free to add me. Good luck on your journey.

Congrats to you. I am with you when it comes to running. I never dreamed in a million years I would like to run and now I am thinking of doing a 5K. It is amazing what we can push our body to do and even more importantly, we love it.

Welcome to the MFP family. I understand all too well about the large weight loss. I weighted 300 lbs at my heaviest. I have already dropped 84 lbs but it still seems like a long way to go. Feel free to add me. We can support each other.
