I am 5' and 40 years old. I started this journey at 196.5, and I have lost 78.5 pounds. I am now 118, and this is my lowest weight as an adult. I had 130 as my first goal because I doubted that I could even get there, so what did it matter? At 130 I felt like I wanted to lose some more, so here I am. I am going to go to…

Log everything. You will make mistakes, but don't beat yourself up for them. Log it and leave it. Don't ever give up! You can do it!

Fantastic results! I bet you feel like a different person!

All of my co-workers coughing and sneezing... the sound of my future head cold...

It IS a shame to "miss" your window for an item, but good that you have had such success!

Don't give up!

A bagger at a local grocery store went on and on about how I looked like this girl from a specific episode of "Saved by the Bell." I went home and looked it up and it was the one where an overweight girl had a crush on Zack and he did not want to go to a dance with her. Guess who that guy thought I looked like? (Hint: it…

Great post! I completely agree with you!

I never had a weight problem until I was in my mid twenties, so my self image is one of a thin person. I was in total denial about how large I had gotten. Now my body is starting to look more like my mental self-image!

You are doing great! Hang in there, and you will get to your goal! Fantastic!

Attitude is everything. Embrace the change and watch your life transform. Log every single bite and eventually you will wonder why you thought it was so hard.

What a fantastic transformation! Congratulations!

You can do it! Log everything and then forget it. Every day is a new day!

Congratulations on finding a new and wonderful life! You look awesome!

I have never been a runner, but I want to be. I started the Couch to 5k program a few weeks ago. I am enjoying it so far, but I am really nervous that I won't be able to do it. So far I have been able to do it, though. I am not really resting on my rest days, but I am listening to my body and not pushing past what I feel…

I am in!

You are doing great! Be proud!

Fantastic!

You can do it! Don't give up! At 5' 0" and nearly 200 lbs I could only walk slowly for 10 minutes before feeling like I was going to die. I am still working on it, but 33.5 pounds lighter and MUCH healthier I can walk / jog for 4 miles!

Wow! What awesome results!

You can do it!

Amazing! Great job! Thanks for sharing.

That is wonderful! My husband has had a similar weight loss in the same amount of time, and he is just eating right and exercising. I am jealous of you guys and all your calorie burning muscle!

Thank you for sharing! You rock!

Amazing results! I bet you feel wonderful! Great job!

You will find such inspiration on this site! I am fairly new (started at the end of January) and I have lost 26 pounds so far. I still have about 45 more to go, but I am feeling so much better! Hang in there! The most important thing is to NEVER GIVE UP!

Hi! I am 40, married, have two kids in elementary school and am a Graphic Arts Specialist for International Paper. I have been on MFP for two months and I have lost 24 pounds - with 40 - 50 more to go. I am so happy to be making progress toward my goal of a healthier life and would love to have another friend!

I am 5' tall and I am super-motivated!

Hey! You can add me! I have 50 pounds to lose and I am really motivated. I have lost 21.5 pounds since January 25. I only have a few friends on here, so anyone needing another buddy is free to add me as well.
