I think it depends a lot on where the tattoos are. I've had 100+ weight difference, and my lower back tattoo looks the same.

You look great! Well done!!

Anything I can eat in bits throughout the day. Bowls of candy are deadly for me. Just a piece here and there.. Then bam I've eaten 1000 calories in sweets/chips.

You look like your own younger, thinner sister. Well done!

I grew up in Canada, and currently live in London. In general, UK sizes are 4 bigger than US/Canada. Ie: In Canada, I'm a size 12-14, in the UK, I'm a 16-18. And yeah, there are HUGE differences between the designers.

I'm not professing to know a everything about nutrition, but I think bananas and carrots are pretty healthy and unlikely to cause someone to pile on the pounds unless eaten to extreme excess. At any rate, National Geographic hasn't shown much footage of morbidly obese monkeys, and I haven't seen too many rabbits at the gym…

Ha ha...glad you guys enjoyed!

If you can kick Breast Cancer's *kitten*, you can definitely lose the weight! I'm not in your area, but I'm rootin for ya. :)

Amazing. That looks like father and son, not before and after! Well done.

Things cooked in boiling oil. In Canada, where the french fries are the skinny McD's kind, I had no problem because I don't like them. Here, they have delicious thick cut ones. I rarely order them, but I help Mike with his FAR too often.

This made me sad. I don't know what would drive someone towards a terrible goal like that. I hope she's able to figure out what's eating her before she eats herself to death.

Welcome - you're doing great. I think you have to right mindset. Slow and steady wins the race! If you decide you want to get into jogging and running more, couch to 5K is amazing. I can now run 30 minutes without stopping, and I NEVER thought that was possible!

You look great! I love that with the weight loss, you changed your whole look. In the after, you have earrings and a necklace, and you're wearing your hair curly. Isn't it amazing how taking care of your health and fitness makes its way into other parts of your life?

Do not anger the Almighty Scale with your heretic talk of measurements and clothes fitting better and feelings of improved health and wellbeing. Almighty Scale will only be satisfied with complete devotion and the power to change your mood and self-esteem. Should you refuse to kowtow to Almighty Scale, Almighty Scale will…

Heh. And because you have a kid, you can be all "Oh, no big deal, that's just my kid's bowl" Whereas I have to hide it, and if caught, I have to be all "I'm a kid at heart. DON'T JUDGE ME!!"

You guys look great! Well done. I think it's great that you guys did this together.

Oh man, I am JEALOUS. It took me a while to find one I liked since I didn't want a character one (nothing against Dora, Bob the Builder or the Disney Princesses). Do you remember where you got it? I am forever handwashing the hungry caterpillar one because I don't run the dishwasher more than once every day or two.

I am now able to jog for 30 minutes without stopping. I can bend over to tie my shoes easily.

It was cheap! It also came with a small bowl and a mug-style cup that pretty much just perfectly holds 250 ml of juice. So when I want juice, I get a full cup instead of half of an adult sized glass, which always just made me feel ripped off.

I'm 105 lbs from my highest weight, with 60 more to go. Here is what worked for me: 1. Tell yourself that you can do it. Cheer yourself on like you would a good friend if they were trying to make a major positive change. 2. If you slip up, don't beat yourself up, just get right back to eating well and exercising. 3. Focus…

Yes, this is me to a T! I'll go a week or two with nothing, then over the course of a day or two, drop 2-5 lbs.

I think as long as you're staying in your calorie goals, having 2 servings of peas or salad or whatever is just fine.

You took a detour...happens to the best of us. You're back on the planned trail now and you will ROCK IT

Yay! More friends. Caity, my dear, we have been through a lot of adventures "together". Moving around the world, weight loss...dude, we can do ANYTHING!

Oh my goodness, you look so much healthier. The weight loss is wonderful, but look at your skin. You're GLOWING now.

You look gorgeous!
