Realizing that I am worth the hard work that it has taken.

I started 08/23/2010. I have lost 63 pounds in the last 14 months.

Thank you all so much! It has been a long, tough road, but well worth the ride!

Nice work!

This really has nothing to do with your diet, but I just wanted to say how lucky you are. My brother had pancreatitis a few years ago. He was in ICU for 4 months, on life support, went through multiple organs failing. He is now a insulin dependent diabetic as his pancreas no longer functions. It is a very tough life for…

One snack that I enjoy pretty often is a banana smoothie. I have a Magic Bullet which I love. I take a super ripe bananas (the darker the sweeter), peel it, chop it, then freeze it. I usually have 3-4 frozen bananas in the freezer at a time. Then when I want a "milk shake", I add one frozen banana + 1/2 cup of skim milk +…

I eat Luna Bars on work days. I can buy them 10/$10 at Kroger. They have about 180 calories per bar. Plus, I stay full until lunch time.

Incredible! You look amazing!

Welcome! Tomorrow is my 10 month anniversary with MFP! I can hardly believe it. A great place to have lots of people in your corner cheering you on to be successful in your weight loss journey. Best of luck!

Go to www.skinnytaste.com, she has some great crockpot recipes.

Great work everyone!

Looks great!

It took me almost 40 pounds before people really started approaching me and asking me. Some said they had noticed earlier but didn't really bring it up until then. My family that knew I was trying to lose weight would comment way before, but I think part of that was just to encourage me :happy:

Here are my BEFORE pics Here is my NOW (in progress) pic

French Fries! They are the devil! I look at them, so beautiful, glistening with grease, sprinkled with salt and they beg of me to eat them.... lol. It is so hard to say no! =)

I am 5'5 and started at 226lbs. It took me about 15lbs to start noticing a slight difference in the way my clothes fit. It took me about 45lbs before people really started commenting on my weight loss.

Bump :)

I am 5'5, starting weight was 226, current weight is 181. You can see pictures on my profile =) I still have a way to go. Best of luck!

I love almond milk as well! I use it mostly for cereal. It does have a sweet taste to it.

I love Luna bars for breakfast. I don't have much time to cook or prepare foods in the morning. They are high in vitamins and protein plus they keep me full until lunch.

Congratulations! You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your story.

Your pictures just helped me get my second wind! You look awesome and so happy! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sarah, Congratulations on making such a great decision to become a healthier you! I started on 8/23/10 and absolutely love this site. I also have the app for my Droid phone which makes tracking my food and exercise very convenient. Everyone on here is so encouraging and motivating. It has been so great to go on this…

Way to go lady!!!

Oh wow! What a difference! Keep up the great work!

Wow! What an amazing difference! Thank you so much for sharing! Congratulations!!

Tomorrow is my one year anniversary since I quit smoking. I have gained 30 pounds in the last year. I think if I would have know about MFP, it really would have helped. I think I ate more because I was bored. I had all of this extra time and didn't know what to do with myself. I will be honest, the first two months are the…

I have been going through the same thing with my seven year old, her whole life. Even as a baby, she was picky with jar foods, spitting them out and refusing to eat them. I completely understand what you are going through. It is so frustrating. I talked to pediatricians about it and no one really seemed to take it…
