You are amazing. Not just in your physical transformation but the way you tell your story is just beautiful. Congratulations and thank you for putting your story out there for us to read and be inspired by.

SOOO Impressive!!! it's a lot harder to lose after you hit mid 40's (or over) than it is when you're younger. I can say that because I'm 49. Everyone on here has done an awesome job and your post has been especially inspirational to me.

Week 2 of P90X - still can't make it through the whole DVD on any of them but I almost made it all the way through CardioX (my favorite one so far) and made through more of each one than last week! I can't believe how much better I feel after just 2 weeks, even though I have to alter some of the exercises (my belly gets in…

I only lost .8 lbs this week. Total loss 25.1 lbs.

I lost the 2 lbs I gained last week plus 2 more so I'm down 24 lbs now.

Up 2 lbs this week which really sucks but TOM should begin today or tomorrow and I had way to much sodium yesterday on top of that so hopefully I'll make up for it by next Friday.

Only down 1.8 lbs this week. Total 22.3, almost made the 2 lbs I was hoping for.

That's awesome!

Thanks everyone! I'm thinking HRM sounds like the way to go.

Down 2.4 lbs this week!

Down 2.1 pounds this week. I feel like I should say in every post I put... yes I originally joined in Aug 2010 and I lost about 40lbs but then gained it back and just started up again 1/30/2013. Wish I could just change my "joined date". It's kind of embarassing. I guess that's what I get for falling back into my unhealthy…

I'm a Friday weigher too. Can I join in? This week I lost 2.5 lbs

I am in the same boat. I joined in August of 2010, lost about 38lbs and then "stuff" happened and I wound up gaining it all back. I've tried to start over a couple of times but just couldn't get back in the grove. I started back the end of January this year and am doing much better! My husband is actually helping this time…

I already had a Magic Bullet so I tried to make smoothies out of that but it still had too many clumps in it. Nuts, spinach, fruit, it just didn't get it smooth enough. I bought the Nutribullet a couple of months ago and it works extremely well! Huge difference, plus it's not anywhere near as expensive as the Vitamix.…

OMG! I just laughed out loud at work! See, I shouldn't be on the internet at work. So funny!! I'm still chuckling imagining the faces of the people (both the gullible and the one's who had to know you were yanking her chain). HILARIOUS! I'm impressed you came up with that on the spur of the moment.:laugh: I meant to hit…

I agree with what was posted here. The positive energy you will bring your son by having more energy through exercise will help both of you cope and deal with this situation better. I probably don't have to tell you how much exercise can help you deal with the depression that must come from this type of situation. I have a…

Now this is one I am DEFINATELY looking forward to!

LOL!!!

Great Thread! I have a few since I started: 1. I had gotten so big that getting in a booth at a restaurant was scary and I will never have to worry about that again! I felt so great the first time I got into a booth and I saw how far the table was from my stomach. 2. I can walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of…

1: I don't eat anymore than anyone else so why am I fat? - yeah right - after putting it in MFP I can't fool myself with that one anymore. 2: I don't eat any more than I did in my twenties when I was thin and athletic. - HELLO!!! I was to eating more - plus I'm older and when I was in my twenties I ran or did aerobics…

WOW!!! You are amazing!

I quite about 12 years ago. I had two children and even though I didn't smoke during either pregnancy I just started right back up again. I NEVER smoked around my kids but I would go out in the garage to read and smoke (froze my behind off in the winter). Then one day I figured out that the cost of my cigs would pay at…

That's so great! You really deserve it. That's actually how I heard about this website there was a lady on there a while back that mentioned MFP. I had no idea these types of websites existed. You are going to inspire so many people.

THANK YOU! I love seeing the before and after pictures. You are so inspirational to me. I still have a long way to go but I love seeing this. It's like you said in your response to one of the posts on here. The time is going to pass anyway so why not try to improve yourself and feel healthier while it does? I get so upset…

Thank you for putting these pictures up! My starting was a couple pounds more than yours but these pictures are so inspiring because I'm trying to lose the same amount of weight - I'm 26lbs down so far and after the week I've had your post has really helped to motivate me. Thanks again - you look AWESOME!

Before I found MFP I knew I needed to write down everything but I just didn't do it. It was sooo much trouble it seemed to look up everything and then write it down and then add it all up. But with this website it's really very easy. I log in everyday and plan out what I'm going to eat. This time I FEEL like I can do it…

You look awesome! Great job!

I love seeing these before and after pics. It gives me so much incentive to keep going. You look so great! Congratulations!

I don't know what caused you to get off track but I know this: In the past if I had a bad couple of days I would let that get me off track and basically just give up. I've learned this time around that there will be days that I over indulge, I think if I don't every once in awhile I would most likely fall completely off.…
