I'm so happy to see that you are back! You are a great guy and now you can continue living a healthy and fun life without a negative person dragging you down! She's going to realize her mistake sooner or later!

How wonderful that the two of you are doing this together. Both of you look great! While your fiance still look like a slimmer version of the same guy, you look like a totally new woman! Beautiful and WELL DONE! Keep it up!

You truly look like a completely new person - well done on this awesome achievement! Enjoy your new healthy life!

This looks almost too good to be true. Your legs are AWESOME! I'm not really a fan of tattoos but yours look damn sexy. Well done!

You stand out! Absolutely amazing transformation - its radical!

Looking awesome! Well done on your achievement thus far! Thank YOU for sharing!

What an amazing difference and it is great that you are doing this while you are still young - you are going to have a MUCH better quality of life going forward. Well done!

Well done! You have every reason to be proud of yourself - it's time for the brain to catch up! You look YEARS younger and happier! Thanks for posting!

Thank you very much for posting this - it is not only a motivation for ladies with less to lose, but also for us who have a lot to lose and worry about sagging skin etc. Your pictures clearly shows the benefits of weight training. I look forward to getting to the stage where I can also start working on definition. Many…

Hi, the way I understand it (and I'm not a specialist by any means), you create the deficit to lose the weight. I have very similar stats as yours - BMR 2300 and based on my goal of a 2 pound loss per week, MFP deducts the 1000 calories to create the deficit needed to lose the weight. If you have a lot to lose a big…

My sleep apnea - Whenever I stopped breathing, I dreamed that I was running, completely out of breath and about to collapse. Now I sleep better and I can actually run very short distances without feeling like I did when I was dreaming. I want to be rid of sleep apnea forever and actually RUN a 5km race without having to…

I've been going through a tough time in general over the last few years - I'm in a foreign country where I don't fit in, I work extremely hard, I started studying again and I'm in an intercultural marriage that takes a LOT of work. All of this left me and still leaves me depressed and overwhelmed and I fix it by eating…

Huge difference! Well done on your great achievement! You have lovely eyes and look years younger and happier!

I don't mind any answers - its a forum and people's opinions are going to differ. Thanks for your input.:happy: :happy: I've come to the conclusion that micro-managing like that is not a good idea, but I'm going to try zig-zagging using the tool that one of the ladies suggested.

This is the easiest yet! Thanks very much for sharing. I will be using this tool because it is simple and allows me to achieve what I'd like to - zig-zagging calories the easy way. With this formula, I also don't need to eat back exercise calories every day because it seems to already be factored into the calorie…

Thank you very much for sharing. I downloaded a copy, and will look into it. You certainly went to a lot of effort! :bigsmile:

No problem, you didn't come over as b***chy, just direct! Thanks for the advice and taking time to answer! After trying to make sense of everything yesterday, I've come to the same conclusion: I'm not willing to micro-manage like that!

Thanks for the info - I've looked into zig zagging and into doing intervals while walking - I'm going to give it a try from next week. I am busy fine-tuning my plan of attack! Let's hope I will be successful in breaking this curse!

Anger gave you the kick in the butt that you needed and a newly found love of life is keeping you going. That is so awesome - Well done and keep it up! You are an inspiration and a truly beautiful girl!

Awesome work! You are a very pretty lady!

Whoot whoot! Super hot! Your husband won't want to take you anywhere. He's gonna want to stay right there at home!

Ahhhh..... so sweet! Hope you guys have a wonderful life together!

This! When I first joined I also asked an 'innocent' question and got some real snotty replies! Luckily I've since learnt to ignore it and just push ahead, because as you say, I'd like the opportunity of having my questions answered by real people too.

Hi Nikki I'm going to quote something that a very dear MFP friend of mine told me after I gained over five pounds last week - I was under tremendous stress and just kept stuffing my face (and I felt terrible about it) and I am sure that she won't mind if I pass on her insight. "This weight loss journey is a journey, not a…

I agree 100% Well said!

My daughter who used to have a near perfect body and earned extra money doing modeling was involved in a near fatal motor vehicle accident. She was left with many scars including a long scar running all the way up her tummy. Add to this the scars on her arms, scars from where the drains were in her lungs and a scar on her…

I have it with lots of milk, yogurt, some sunflower or pumpkin seeds, a bit of honey. I struggle to finish the bowl and it keeps me FULL FOR HOURS! Certainly the most filling of any of my breakfasts. Try adding some protein like many of the posters suggested.

Bump for later

Bump to read later. Gotta run for an appointment.
