Coco - 45?

Yes. There are many gals on MFP who have lost 100 pounds and more. I've lost about 87 and am on maintenance now. I have a few MFP friends who have lost 100 or more pounds and are really looking great and have successfully maintained a super, fit, lifestyle. Lots of good luck to you in reaching your goals. You can do it!

Tried some new hair products and I am very happy with them. I have naturally curly hair but have spent most of my life wresteling with it -- trying to make it "straighter." For the past 2 weeks I am wearing it curly again and I am happy with it -- so far. Ouidad products -- heat and humidity gel and their styling mouse.…

Bump for later!

Many of my original MFP friends who remember me from my first year on the site -- when I kept my diaries open --will know I am a huge Starbucks customer. Still am. But I am a very boring Starbucks consumer. Just have a Grande coffee each day with a multi grain bagel either with butter or lite cream cheese. The one food…

Yours is about the most amazing success story I have read on MFP! You rock girl!

Bump for review and maybe adding pictures -- if I can remember how to do it!

Serge, for many of us, this is a life long struggle. I dropped about 5 pounds under my goal weight. I struggled very hard to reach my 1770 Maintenance Calories without going over in Fats, Sodium and/or Sugars. I struggled. I was not gaining but kept losing. I was about 5 pounds under my goal and looked pretty drawn and…

I have lost about 87 pounds with diet and exercise. I have been maintaining over 1 year. In fact, I got a little "too thin" and had to work recently to regain about 3-5 pounds. I do not eat 100% clean. I still eat fast food on occasion. I have signed in every day since mid-August, 2010. I log each and every day. I do a…

You look beautiful! Doing an amazing job. What an inspiration!

What an awesome and amazing job you have done! Gorgeous!

Agree with Miss Fit. If someone has a huge amount to lose and is under in her/his calorie intake, that should be just fine. But if they think they are eating "healthy" and they eat all junk or are consistently under, I would just ignore any commenting.

It sounds somewhat "elitist" when someone says they are no longer accepting friends requests. It's not. Just a question of how much time you are able to devote to MFP. I have been on Maintenance for more than a year now. Although I have deleted most of my inactive friends, it is still difficult to interact with everyone on…

This! Favorite flavors: Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Chip Mint and Apple Pie! Only 5 calories a piece and sugar free! You must try!

Try to keep them seasonal. This one was taken about a week before Christmas. Should be changing it soon if we have an early Spring.

It used to be "You don't need those fries," or whatever I chose to eat. Now it is "You've lost enough. Eat what you want." So glad I am on MFP for me. You are not going to please everyone. Don't even try!

Reduced sugar protein bars are good too! They run about 180-200 calories each. Pure Protein is a good brand. Read the labels though. Some of the protein bars are loaded with sugar. Also, I like Wrigley's sugar free gum -- Dessert Delights. Some people don't like that one ingredient in it, but I feel it satisfies my sweet…

I know I commented earlier in this threads life, but reviewing your pictures again just made me realize what a truly spectacular job you have done! Awesome and Inspirational. Just amazing!!!

I am 5' 8 1/2". At goal now 135-138. I used to think I had a large frame, but now realize it's medium size "frame.". Sizes -- 6 or 8. Wanted to be a 4, but my face looked older and drawn at 130-131. Think a size 6 is fine!

I've gone back and forth keeping them private and then open to friends only. Currently, they are private. I do this because I am working on staying "under" in fats and sugars, but trying to achieve my maintenance calories of almost 1800 a day. This relatively "high" calorie count that I am allowed is because I am on…

I can understand how overwhelming it all is, PC. My best advice is to log on each and every day. Complete your diet and exercise diary each and every day. Be 100% honest. If you have to keep your diary "private," this is just fine. Don't be afraid to reach out for more MFP friends. There are some awesome people on this…

Great hair!

Before losing 87 pounds and reaching my goal weight, I over ate. Ate too many desserts and buffets. Spent years focusing on my career and not me. Had an expense account and did a lot of traveling and eating in resorts and hotels.

Nice eye make-up.

You look fabulous! Very fine job!

Have been on MFP since August, 2010. This is the greatest site! I've been on maintenance for about a year. Have gone from a size 22W to size 6. A friend ordered this picture/ plaque for me from a new website called Fat2Wow.com. They are considering me as a "sample model" for the website. I think it is such fun to have a…

Bump.

Have so many beautiful MFP peeps. I can't single out one or two. Each friend is unique and special to me! What a fabulous site this is! If I absolutely had to choose just one, I would pick "Mike.". Thanks, Mike, for creating this great community!
