I nearly fell out of my chair! You look amazing and what an inspiration you are for all of us!

You look wonderful! Great job and inspiration. On another note, how tall are you? I was just wondering because you look pretty tall. :)

Mine would be have to be Charlie Hunnam! OMG he is such a hottie!

It sounds like you may be eating too litte calories and sending your body into "starvation mode". I know how easy it is to eat less with the thought that you will lose more but it just isn't the case. Are you eating 5-6 small meals a day? If you are looking for some fillers to go in between your larger meals try a handful…

Welcome! This place is phenominal when it comes to support and you will find everything you need to help you along your journey. Don't ever think that there is no one to care because as this site shows, there are tons of people who care about you and your feelings. Good luck with reaching your goals.

First off let me say WELCOME! You have just taken the first step in a long line toward the rest of your life. I too am tall, like you. I stand 6' and weight right at 300. Most of my weight is brought on by a thyroid disease I have and the birth of my son but no matter how we gain it, it is hard to lose for everyone. I…

Great job!! Keep it up!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! The support I have found here and the friends far outweigh any long lasting effects that those women could really have on me. My husband told me that I was beautiful and a wonderful mother and wife and that made me smile in the end. I was sad as got dressed because I didn't have time to get my hair…

What a fun idea! I would have to be 7'10" to be in the normal range at the weight I currently sit at. (I am 6' BTW) I don't think I am going to get lucky enough to get a major growth spurt sooooo, I guess I will just have to keep working at just losing it all. Darn the luck! :)

I didn't have a total Thyroidectomy but I have had a partial and it takes at least 6 months for your medicine to regulate and allow you to start feeling better. Your thyroid is linked to just about everything in your body, including your metabolism and while you may exercise like crazy, it is your metabolism that is going…

I looked online and couldn't locate it in any other form but Wii, XBox Kinect and PS3. The game itself is worth purchasing the Wii, in my opion. I get a great burn out of the games I play on the Wii.

I think that 10 points = 1 calorie is a good estimate for calorie burn. This game truely does burn the calories. I absolutely love it!

I would love to join this challenge!! I have been looking for a group challenge like this!!! Thank you so much for posting it! I need to be accoutable to more than just myself. I am scared to death to start this goal but I know that I have to do it for my health and myself, as well as my family. Looking forward to the…

Wow!! You look fantastic and you are such an inspiration! Congrats on all your hard work, it sure did pay off!!

Wow, you look incredible!! Congrats, you are a true inspiration.

Congrats to you!! The small successes are the best. I love over the calf boot and they are so cute with a flowy dress or skinny jeans, I think. Enjoy your success and keep up your great work. :happy:

Bump!! I have had a C-Section and would really love to have help with the pooch area. I feel like I am still 6 months pregnant and think some of the time, I could pull it off...LOL! HELP would be wonderful!!

I'm in! I will post my before picture later. H2O 12 Pounds Challenge SW: 305 lbs H2O 12 Pounds Challenge GW: 293 lbs or less!! Let's do this!!!

Way to go!!!! You look great and sooo healthy! Keep up the great work and congrats on reaching such a great goal! :smile:

That is great that you found that motivation in yourself! Way to go! Keep up the great work and you will get there for sure.

I think it is great that you are standing your ground about the "big boobs" situation. I think I was born with a big bust, LOL. I started developing very early and now have D's, which don't bother me so much but when I was young, I felt very self conscious because I was the only girl in my 6th grade class who wasn't…

Too funny! I feel the same way about so many of these words. The one that gets me is "to" and "too". I just don't understand how grown men and women can't spell or place these simple words. I am so glad that someone finally brought this to the attention of the individuals here on MFP. :smile:

I just started doing them so I am taking it easy for now. I used to do them back in College but stopped. My core needs the work, goodness knows. I think I will start with the holds and then work up to the rows and other variations. Don't want to hurt myself in the beginning...LOL. Oh, and thanks for the list, I will sure…

Not sure why it double posted but sorry about that.

Please be careful being on this diet. I have a girlfriend who started it 3 months ago and we buried her last week. She got a huge embolism (blood clot) that killed her. She was 26 and the mother of two. The doctors say that there is nothing else that could have killed her. The clots were formed after she started the HCG…

Wow, it is so nice to see so many tall women on here. I am 6' and 295. I currently wear a size 20 and am hoping to get down to 175. My heaviest was 305 and my healthiest was 170. I start to look sick if I get below 170. I am so happy to see so many other women who are going through the same things I am. It is hard to…
