Love this thread! :love:

I am so glad to have found this thread! I started MFP last January 2012 at a weight of 356. Today I am at 263. I get very frustrated with my body as it is so slow gowing with the weight loss but using the forums on MFP has been so helpful. I have an ultimate goal of getting to 199, although I think I might have weighed…

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU DESERVE TO BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!! :drinker:

Hated the series. Terrible books.

Agreed. No way you gained 5 lbs. It gotta be the sodium. Drink lots of water over the next few days and it will come off. I think women's body's just don't work evenly. Some weeks you will lose and others nothing, despite all the best efforts. I guess that's why we shouldn't weigh daily - or if we do, expect those big…

Congratulations to you! It is great to see your success!!!!!

Pasta - noodles- ugh! Need to avoid as I can't control myself. Love the "gushy" texture.......

I missed the first 15 min. Why does Laurie (hate her by the way) think the baby might be a zombie?

Congratulations! I am so close to 100 as well but really slow now. Glad to see your #'s. Helps me feel like I can get there!

I have to go with restriction - especially when it comes to pasta, my BIGGEST weakness. But, I am finding that I am not dreaming about it and craving nearly as much as I used to. I go for feeling full, so like to eat lots of big salads, veggies, and popcorn. I eat most of my calories at night, the time of day that I just…

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! SUCH AN INSPIRATION. I am on month number 10 and getting frustrated with the slow results this past couple of months...... I love seeing posts like this to keep me motivated.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!!!!

You look great! Congratulations!!

So If the TDEE says that my number is 2900 and I eat about 1500 calories net per day. Is it really possible for me to not be losing weight because I am not eating enough? I seem to be stuck...... seems to weird!

Awesome, congratulations, and you look great! May I ask a personal question? Do you have any issues with jiggly, loose skin or has it shruken over time? If you do have those issues, what have you, do you plan to do about it? Thanks!

WW points didn't work for me either. I much prefer to count calories. I am learning much more about good food choices this way too.

I will be 4-6 lbs heavier at night than when I get up in the morning....... if you weigh every day, expect variation. I wish I could lose a pound a day....... that's the thing that frustrates me when I watch the Biggest Loser. How do they do that? Excersice for 8 hrs/day. Can't do that and have a real life.

He's flirting.

1. Gaining it back! 2. Saggy skin (already have it on my arms - yuck....) 3. People judging me because of #1 4. Never getting to my ideal weight (although, I don't really think I ever will) I try to remember the One Pound Poem when I am feeling frustrated. __________ One Pound of Fat Hello! Do you know me? If you don't,…

Congratulations. You look wonderful and I bet you feel so good about yourself too. Way to go!

Congratulations! I come here looking for this type of motivational stuff!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

My life revolves around autism at work and at home. I am a SW working with mostly autistic children and have a 19 year old son with Asperger's syndrome. Can't get away from it, it's part of me, and I am always looking to connect with others on the autistic journey.......

Sounds like a power and control issue. If you have the green light from your boss - no need to stop what you are doing on your time. People......

By the time I am in bed, I am too tired to care. I just go back to sleep and figure if I wake up in the morning it was nothing....

This is a cruel thread........ dang it all, I want some french fries now!! Thanks a lot! (note the sarcasm):laugh:

Congratulations. You look awesome!!!

You are an inspiration. 199 is my goal too!

I did weight watchers too, and lost about 70 lbs over the course of a year. But, I didn't really learn to eat better because I had trouble converting the points system to actual calories with a focus on protein. I like using this system much better. Good luck and welcome!

Wow. Thank you for sharing! What an inspiration.
