Well done to all these ladies and gents - you are amazing and a wonderful inspiration to all!

Too sexy for sixty! Go Jo!

Bump for later! Thanks for posting!

I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that for me limiting carbs have worked. I am very overweight, and used to eat a lot of carbs in the form of bread, rice, potatoes etc. By cutting that out I've been losing steadily. I do however still eat brown rice from time to time, and the odd slice of bread or water crackers etc.…

You are absolutely adorable - the most beautiful smile! Well done on your healthy choices! You look awesome!

Bump for later! Thanks for all the great info!

So happy for you! Can't wait to get there myself.... but I want to be wearing a pair of high heels too! (now I look like an elephant on toothpicks!)

Very cute! You look wonderful. Well done on your achievements thus far and just keep at it, you will start losing again. Sometimes it takes a while to find that sweet spot again!

You look awesome.... I'm happy for you that you found that sweet spot of not stressing about what you eat any more, AND losing weight. I couldn't believe that I can actually eat more and lose weight - I love this new life and want to keep at it forever. But, still have quite an uphill battle ahead of me. Thanks for posting…

Yes, prednisone comes in pill form but it is basically cortisone as I understand it. It also has a lot of short term and long term side effects and one can get addicted to it very easily (within 7 days)... unfortunately it is the only thing that works for my asthma. I hope my lungs will be better soon so that I can get off…

Yeah, I'm also on prednisone ~ it is absolutely amazing how hungry it makes me feel. Tonight when I couldn't stand it anymore, I ate a lot of spinach! Thanks for your good advice! Should have thought of that earlier!

Excellent progress! Keep up the good work! You look awesome!

I'm in! SW: 272.8 lbs CW: 247.5 lbs (today 5/2) GW: 176 lbs UGW: 165 lbs Weigh in dates: 5/9 242.7lbs (O heck, that's a lot in one week, but I've been sick, so I've really not been eating enough. I'm sure that I will gain again, so I'm still in!) 5/16 5/23 5/30 Game on! Good luck to everyone

LOVE the shoes! Sorry, just had to hijack the thread for a moment....

Welcome and well done on your progress thus far! I wish you the best for the road ahead. Keep up your efforts and don't get disheartened - you are on the way of becoming a better healthier and happier person!

So let me get this straight! You added me as friend, because I'm not hot enough, or not slutty enough! Just wondering....

You are truly a 'BIG' man! Big inspiration, big motivation, and and and..... I'm in awe of your transformation! Well done!

Bump for later! Thanks!

I've been eating much more than before (but maintain a healthy balance and don't eat any white stuff if I can avoid it), and I eat back all my exercise calories. I've been losing weight steadily for the past 6 weeks! It's almost too good to be true! I'm sure my loss will slow down some in the near future, but then I will…

9.27% in about 6 weeks! I'll take that! Well done to the others on their amazing losses +30% is very impressive!:flowerforyou: Can't wait to get there!

Looking great! You have just convinced me to take measurements - up until now I've been losing weight, but I'm not going to be happy when the scale freezes up on me. The last week, I've also been feeling thinner, with little change on the scale. Guess it is time to take those measurements - Thanks for the very visual…

Well done! You look great! Beautiful girl - before and after!

Welcome! You can add me as friend too!

Congratulations girl! That's excellent.... Very heartwarming and inspiring story. Well done on all the hard work that it took for you to get here.

Well done! You and hubby are looking good! Awesome that you are doing things together..... wonder whether I should also train for that 250km 7-day endurance event that my husband's currently training for - Nahhhhh! I'd rather come and join you on the 5km's. Well done! A lot of reasons to be SUPER proud of yourself!

Thanks everyone! This has been very helpful!:flowerforyou:

Thanks for this info - I'm so ill-informed so any info helps. I want to use the powder to make a high protein, low calorie meal in the morning - I will use other things as base (e.g. cottage cheese, yogurt, tofu etc. and add frozen fruit etc. as well as scoop of protein powder to boost the meal a bit. . I enjoy drinking…
