There are a lot of posts on here about this topic. Basically what you are going to hear is that it depends on age, heredity, and other factors. They say to stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water, moisturize your skin, and, do strength training along with cardio. I worry about this a lot as I have 150 total to lose and…

I looked at pictures of me from Christmas and couldn't get over how small I am in comparison to last year. I just couldn't believe I was looking at myself because what I see in the mirror seems so different.

I like mine on celery, baby carrots, tomatoes, and baked potatoes. I'm going to have to try them mixed in eggs. I bet they are good with boiled eggs also. How do you put them in salad? Melt them or cut them up or what?

Holy Schmokes! That is fan freakin tabulous!

I get egg drop soup. Or something with shrimp and veggies.

I had a trainer who pushed a meat and fruit diet. It was a detox that required only eating meat and fruit for 7 days. The meat could be served however you want as long as it wasn't breaded or fried. All fruit had to be raw or if canned it couldn't be canned in syrup. Eggs were also okay. Condiments at a minimum. I lost 6…

Eat something healthy and if you go over in calories, exercise it off.

You look fantastic! Very inspirational to me---I hope I can get down to that size.

I like Performance Whey by Optimum Nutrition. Chocolate Shake is the only flavor I have tried. It is very good, and 160 calories a scoop. I paid $40 for 5 pounds at my gym. Each scoop has 22 grams of protein. I mix it with water to keep calories down. I will say, if you want to splurge and have extra cash just lying…

Wow. She looks amazing! What a great motivator!

I take biotin. I don't know if it works or not, but it's worth taking!

You are really close, you will be there in no time!

Fresh fruits and vegetables are great. I like to take yogurt and string cheese (my work has a fridge). Nuts and sunflower seeds. And pickles!!!

Be proud! You look awesome!

You are doing great. You have a very nice waistline, keep it up!

"Fake it til you make it." --for when I have a hard time doing an exercise and I have to do a modified version I just remember I will be able to do it for real, I just have to do what I can. "The pain will not last as long as the pride."

It is amazing how comparing old and new pictures motivates! You look great. Such an inspiration! Please share tips!

Oh wow, you have done an amazing thing! Keep going, you can totally do these last pounds!

3ofmine, I am 5'7". I'll add you and we can be buds!

Can you see the pictures okay? I tried resizing them but I guess it didn't work. I honestly don't see much of a difference in myself. I need some encouragement.

MY jaw just dropped looking at those pictures! you look FABULOUS! Don't give MFP toooo much credit. YOu did all the work! Go you!

I'm just now able to get on the computer to look at this! You have done an amazing job! You should be sooo proud of yourself!

Kale chips are about 35 cals a cup if you make them with 0 cal cooking spray instead of olive oil. There are lots of recipes if you google it. They are soooo addicting!!!

What you eat in private, you wear in public. Eat for the body you want, not for the body you have. Don't give up on what you want most for what you want now.

I don't get the "1" thing...

I'm 27 and 5'7". I started at 303 on March 1 and currently weigh 267. My goal is 150, which is right in the middle of the healthy range for my height. My goal weight for June 9th is 264.

I get annoyed at the teen girl who get in the front row where the mirror is and stare at themselves with a sexy look the whole time! And it's even worse when the instructor lets them lead the class!

I also like anything Eminem. Lose Yourself is a good one to work out to.

I use Pandora when I work out. The hard rock strength station is good. There are several workout stations on Pandora.
