That is great!! And I can see the difference too! You are very pretty!! Your kitchen looks like my kitchen!! LOL!:bigsmile:

You have a great, entertaining style of writing! Thanks for the giggle!!

Yeah, when I have lost weight in the past, people have told me, "It is great that you are finally losing weight because you had really let yourself go!" WTF? Go where? My fat was just taking me along for the ride?

Thank you for the inspiration!! Congratulations!

You look good!!:happy:

You look great! And very handsome~

I can totally see the difference! Thank you so much for all your encouraging words to us out here that are struggling. I feel just like you did. But I did not take any before pics. I guess I should start taking them so that when it is my turn, I can encourage folks just the way you did! I am so encouraged by your pics…

That is wonderful! Congratulations!! You look marvelous!:flowerforyou:

About 16 years ago, I was coming out of a liquor store by my house and there was a car full of young adults stopped at the corner for a red light. They all watched me come out of the store. I smiled at them since they were looking at me. One of the girls said to me, "Try Jenny Craig!" And they all started laughing and sped…

Congratulations! I can see a difference! Keep up the great work! :happy:

I read an article that said that when we tell everyone that we are dieting, it does something to our brain to make us feel as if we have done it. Kind of like a pay off, even if we have not lost a pound. And therefore, it makes us less inclined to stick with the diet. But then, I read another article that said, we should…

You look great! Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations! You are very beautiful in both pictures! And you have a beautiful smile. 60 pounds is a lot!!

Congratulations! Especially about lowering your cholesterol! Mine is up in the 300 range and it has never been so high. I have started eating less meat and eating more vegetables. Did you do anything else to lower yours. I take red rice yeast. I keep wondering if I should do any more to try to lower it.

You both look great! Thank you for such inspiring photos!

Beautiful smile in both pictures! You look great! Keep up the great work and thanks for being an inspiration!!

Thank you for the pep talk! It was just what I needed. And both of your pictures, you look very beautiful! But I am glad that you are so happy! That counts the most, although being healthy counts too and it looks like you have made it! Whoo hooo!

That is great! You should be proud!

Congratulations! You look like a different person! And much happier looking! Thank you for your inspirational post!! I am curious as to what sort of medication your doctor prescribed to help your arteries. And what sort of test they did to find out what percentage you were blocked. I have high Cholesterol and just started…

Congratulations!!:happy:

Are you kidding? What woman does not like her man to cook? My husband cooked for me a little bit while we were dating, but he stopped it when I started helping. I have been cooking ever since. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cooking for the people I love, but it sure would be nice if he cooked once in a while. It makes me feel…

You are on the right track with the plain yogurt and fresh blueberries! I sometimes slice up a few strawberries in it as well. But even then, I like it a little sweeter. I was using honey, but now, I use Raw, Organic Agave Nectar. Agave is nice because, even though it still has about the same calories as honey, you don't…

Thanks! I will give them a try!! Do you know the calorie content?

Very inspirational!! Congratulations for sticking to it!! You look fabulous!!

What an awesome and inspiring blog! Thank you so much for sharing! Your pictures are great! You look marvelous. I have been on My Fitness Pal for a couple of months now, and finally lost a little weight. I really believe it is because, if I log on every day, I can't help but be aware of what I am eating and doing (or not…

Congratulations! It is just wonderful that you hit your first goal!! My first goal is to buy a scale and I still have not done it!! LOL!! I was able to see your pictures and you look great! Best of luck to you!
