You look great - congratulations! Not sure about the Sponge-Bob-Look...it does not seem to do your weight-loss justice, hahaha!!! :)

Oh WOW...congratulations! What an accomplishment....and way to turn the wheels and go from an overweight couple to an active family!! You are a role model for us all! You look terrific...and hubby too!!! Great inspirational read - thanks for sharing!!

Blimey - that is wonderful!! Congrats on your success!!!

Exactly that... I am 50 years old and had 66 pounds to lose. I seriously started this July 12 and am down 40 pounds. My aim is to eat 1200-1500 cal a day and to burn (BMR included) around 2600 cal/day. I go off a bit in either direction, don't deprive myself of anything (I did not get fat by having a piece of chocolate now…

Congratulations - you look great! Keep it going!!

What can I say? Simply fabulous - good for you and keep up the good work!!!

You look terrific! Great facial bone-structure - and it is showing!!!

Fantastic job, congrats!! And to quitting smoking too... Great eyebrows..seriously!!!

:smile:

Great story...great photos....love the socks with the mankini...hahaha.... Congratulations on making these life-changing changes!!!

What can I say? BRAVO!!!!! You got it girl - you are active and live healthy and enjoy your life....what is that compared to someone who might have a 25 inch waist but is miserable? Live. Enjoy. We only get one ride. Thanks for sharing your story.

Now I have to comment on my sister - my OLDER sister, who has gained maybe 5 oz since she was 14....yes, she is a naturally thin person, but it is not like she sits on the couch all day stuffing her face with cheeseburgers either...I remember as children, we always got the same amount of chocolate at Christmas - mine was…

Amazing story!!! Kudos to you - and you look great!! Keep it up, freedom from overeating is what I am seeking as well....and yes, the difference is measurable and amazing!!!

Oh - you ladies are awesome, what a beautiful site!!! I have been very inactive during the September postings, back to work etc I find it hard to keep up with all the posting and logging...I met all of my September goals, which I feel very good about, lost another 9 pounds and am ready for ever October is dishing out!!…

Wow! Your look incredible!! Love your outfits too!!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

oh wow...you look like your own daughter (compared to the before pic). Stay motivated....it is obviously worth it!! Congrats!!

Fantastic....keep it going! Looks like you have your little one rooting for you too!!! :)

Hi Ladies - one week down, hope it was a good week for everyone! I am doing good with my September goals....lets keep it strong!!!

Wow, congrats - great results!!!

Ok....I get it now. The Help section actually helped, should have gone their first....

yeah...I am afraid that is me too....don't exactly do laundry in high-impact-mode.... I set my level to sedentary already...I just have to keep playing with it.... Thanks for your input, Gwen!

Yes, and what is so bad about that that we have to distrust people? Isn't that the definition if "humanity" to do things we get "something out of" - why else would we do it? I don't think this is a bad thing, I don't think that it implies that we are users or self-centered individual. Sure, I try to be nice and helpful and…

Hahaha...I drive two sticks...one of them a Beetle convertible, my summer toy. I don't know if guys think its cool and I don't really care. I know my boys (which are grown up guys now) did NOT find it cool when they were still living at home, because they don't drive stick and thus could never borrow my car....

Thanks guys, great info! I guess like everything else, it is a learning curve and I have to play with it. I discovered that it tracks my sleeping calories without me wearing the device, thus I start my day with 400 some calories, ok - that makes sense to me!!

ok - sorted some stuff out - reading the manual helps, hahaha still find their numbers whacky, but lets see.....

Beautiful...what a difference!! Congrats!!

wow - tiarapants - there is hope to do IT after 50...my birthday pictures are also...well, actually....I would only allow for people to take them with me hiding behind other folks....191 pounds is amazing, congrats!!!

Jen - that is awful, blessings to the families!!! I don't know if I ever get all of you and your stories straight...this is a BIG group, but I can see the camaraderie and that is really nice!!! I hope everyone's week back to September has been within your goals, it is tough to get back again into the swing of things. I got…

Ok...keep it simple: Don't go below 1200. If you stick between 1200-1500 cal a day, make sure you balance them well, so you get all your nutrients. Eat fruit, veggies, lean protein. Listen to your body. Eat when you are hungry. Eat slowly and enjoy each bite. Stop when you start to feel full. Listen to what your body tells…

Alright...I am sold...now I just googled it and there are too many choices...tracker, ultima, wireless....which one do I want???
