You've lost an incredible amount, I don't think a two week break is going to cause too big a setback. If a small break is what it takes to refresh you and get your focus back on track then it's not so bad :)

You look amazing! Those are the kind of legs I want.

I have this problem, although mine is usually caused by a day of high sodium. I can gain three, four pounds seemingly overnight even though I know I've eaten at a deficit simply because I went overboard on the sodium. Occasionally I'll get the same effect if I do a strength workout. I bloat like mad throughout the day if I…

Have you measured yourself in inches at all? If you're losing inches then what the scale says doesn't matter hugely. There's a poster on the success story boards who has posted two pictures of herself - one before weight loss picture at 135ish pounds, and her after picture also at 135ish pounds. Even though the scale…

I think you sound like a fantastic girlfriend. Great job having that talk with him, I'm so glad it all went well and there was no cause for anxiety :) I also think some of the replies you got were a bit harsh - to me it seems like the last thing you're trying to do is change him. Like you said, he's your favourite person…

Big nosed? YOU? Not at all! If that's you in your profile picture, not only is your nose lovely but with your enormous eyes and heart shaped face you are the definition of a cute girl. I'd kill for that hair too. I love your attitude towards the success stories too :) some of them are incredible and I find them inspiring…

Your ex must be kicking herself. You look AMAZING and the fact that your kids were your motivation just prove what a great dad you are. Congratulations on all your efforts, you seem very much like a success story to me.

What a sweet post! I love reading positive messages like this, I also love the advice and support you can find on this site. Some of these folks are so knowledgable and it's so great that people take the time to share and offer opinions when others need help. Congratulations on your loss, 16 pounds is an awesome…

No problem at all :) and congratulations on the logging! You can do this x

What a sad situation for you. You've had a rough time lately, try not to pile on your stresses with beating yourself up about your weight so much. There have been some great suggestions here - taking on a bigger role with food prep sounds really smart as you can more accurately log what you're eating. Please don't think…

Some of these comments seem a little excessive. I agree MFP is not the place to air out relationship issues, but we're supposed to be a supportive community and I don't think suggesting the OP is probably an *kitten*, looking for excuses, trying to tear her husband down or that you find her lack of accountability…

What an amazing achievement! You look fantastic, definitely the look twice at kind of guy! Congratulations on all your hard work paying off :)

Definitely a beautiful girl all along, but you look so radiant now. Your body looks amazing and your confidence just adds to how great you look. Congratulations, that's an awesome achievement :)

You look fantastic, what incredible results! Just started 30DS myself, hoping I can see a similar change. Amazing, congratulations :)

16 pounds - only leaves me with with about 6 pounds to lose to reach my ultimate goal weight, which I'd like to be by February :)

I just found a Christmas GW group - if everyone here wants to track together and give support without having to keep searching for this thread, it seems like a nice little crowd. I really like that they have monthly goal discussion threads too, helps break up that one big 'by Christmas' goal into a couple of smaller, less…

Hi there! I feel your pain - over the past couple of months I've taken a week or so off here and there, and had a few absolute blow out weekends. I've had times where I just felt like I couldn't stop eating and I just craved junk like crazy. Even last Thursday and Friday I completely stuffed myself full of chocolate,…

7.7kgs, or 17 pounds :) would love to see 55kgs / 121.3 pounds for the first time since I was a really young teen!

I know the feeling exactly! A few weeks ago I couldn't seem to drop below 65kgs - hovered between 65.2/65.1 for ages and just couldn't seem to break past that number and into the lower half of the sixties. There was a definite psychological factor - I just couldn't seem to believe that I could actually get beyond that…

Totally understand. It really is comforting to know it's normal to have results like this! I'm struggling with the same problem areas, but I guess we've just got to keep slogging away and monitoring until we get there.

Whoa. You might not believe this, but I USE IT TOO. Coincidence? Or part of a world domination scheme?

Hi everyone! 23 from Australia and down over 7kgs :) still got a bit to go though and I'm finding inspiration from a lot of the members here. Please feel free to add me, the support of some of the lovely people on here is so encouraging and it's great to cheer on people's successes.

Judging purely on the pictures below, you seem to be growing narrower rather than seeing a reduction in protrusion. I can see the difference across your back and around your waist, and it does look like you're shrinking inwards first. Perhaps it's worth getting a tape measure and tracking cms / inches lost? Sometimes it…

Thank you all so much for this. I've had the same problem but never knew what the issue was, I assumed I was just stuck with it and couldn't eat if I wanted to show off my stomach. Making a doctors appointment for tomorrow to see what's going on and what can be done. If not for you guys I'd have no idea what was going on,…

HCG homeopathic drops - I lasted 10 days and every morning after getting out of bed, I would have to lean against a wall for 30 seconds and wait for the faint feeling to go and the black spots in my vision to fade. To be fair I did lose quite a bit of weight in that 10 days. I was seven kilos (around 15.5 pounds) lighter…
