Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to answer questions people ask. You are a blessing. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Annaskiski for posting site for more information on the 5X5 for women. I will view it--thanks again for your help.

Thank you for sharing your success story and the words of encouragement and wisdom for others to gain from your journey. Great job! I am according to the charts obese and wish to loose 50 pounds. May not seem like a lot to many but it is to me. I would like more information on the 5 X 5 weight lifting that you said you…

First of all, congratulations on loosing the weight--Wow! Great job. Secondly, thank you for inspiring me and others with your great words of wisdom. In the past I had lost weight doing the Atkins diet but since gained since eating poorly. People would always say food in moderation but it seems like the carbs just attach…

What a wonderful difference. You look amazing and I believe you will see your goal weight this time. Keep up the great job!

Great job keep motivated and keep loosing weight. You are doing super great-congratulations on the weight loss!:happy:

What do you mean by hitting your macros and micros? Viewing that you have lost a substantial deal of weight-Congratulations on the enormous weight loss-I value your insight on weight loss. I only have about 30 pounds to loose and feel defeated already. Can really use some advice from you. Thanks Mary

Eggs are cost efficient and have protein. Scramble and add vegs and other protein. Will fill your kids up.

Sweet-Congratulations-Praying for a healthy pregnancy, baby and delivery for you.:smile:

I want to be part of the biggest loser challenge. Tell me what I need to do. Thanks for heading it up. Current weight is 163.5

I have been successful loosing weight on the "Atkins Diet" I try to make it healthy by eating chicken and fish and limit the red meat and cheese and fattening dressings. I think it is the elimination of the sugars that cause the weight loss. Good luck to you on your weight loss.

Hi Amanda would love to be a supportive friend to you to help you loose weight. I started off at 163.5 and am down to 154.5. It is a life style if you want to keep it off. My goal weight to is 130 pounds. I am taking 10 pound increments at a time so that works best for me.. I did my first ever 10K walk. Never competed in…

You are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing the pictures and your success story. Keep up the great work and let us know if you were following a special diet or how you are doing it. I am cheering for you. I do agree with others that posted your smile is real now--you just radiate with happiness and joy. So proud of you!

I showed a friend of mine my food log and she told me that I was not eating enough calories and causing my body to think it was in the starvation mode. Since then I have increased my calories and increased my exercise and now am loosing weight once again. So maybe that is what happened for you. Sometimes we have to trick…

Thanks for posting the pictures and your success story. I love to read the success stories of others. They are so inspiring. If this was an info commercial I would have thought no way that is a different person in the last pictures. So cool to see- congrats on the huge weight loss and for posting how you did it. Really…

I have not had this problem but please post your reply as to whether not tying your shoes so tightly works. I have heard the same thing that having the shoes too tight will cut off the circulation making them numb. Let us know if this has helped you.

What ever you do do not give up. The past is past you already ate the food but the future what you are going to eat tomorrow you can control. Stay with it. No one is perfect and all of us have slip ups. Just keep your wedding as your focus and best of luck to you.

Great advice-thanks for the help. I think I like the atkins for the fact you loose quickly but know long term it probably wont work for me so I am heeding your advice and logging everything and stepping up the exercise routine and trying to be more realistic about loosing weight. Thanks again for your help

Thanks your post does help me. Your insight on the number of your calories consumed per day and how you know your maximum number of calories without gaining and what number you must stay under so you do not gain. Best of luck to you on your weight loss goal and a healthier you.

I guess I must be greedy and not realistic in my diet weight goals. With the Atkins I would loose at least a half pound a day but if it is not going to be lasting it does not matter. I know it has to be a lifestyle not a diet. I think that is what I am struggling the most on. Thanks for your help.

Thanks I will try to incorporate whole grains back into my diet--How many calories do you try not to go over in a day?
