Sounds great! Will be trying this out-thanks!

Looks great! Thanks!

Looking for recipies, too!

This. One bad day won't kill your success, just like one good day didn't magically bring you to maintenance level. Give yourself the gift of shrugging it off and move on! :-)

This is wonderful. Thank you for wirting this - it's a beautiful "where is your heart" checker.

Great work! Congrats!

This! Congratulations on a fantastic job! (If this is a mini goal, you're about to rule the world...)

I have mild colitis and have taken both Asacol and Lialda. I've found success with both, neither with negative side effects. Hope it works well for you! Good luck!

Dittto.

My husband did once. I got mad, pointed at my shrinking self and said "Twenty pounds down and not done yet. This isn't obsessed, it's getting the job done!"

Phenomenal! Way to go!

Yep - this. Good luck!

I'm built like Olive Oyl, so 115 is where I hover and where I hovered before I gained wieght. That said, I didn't get a sense of my set weight until I was 25. If you are still growing, a doctor would be the best person to ask about appropriate goal weights. Good Luck!

My family has been very supportive throughout the whole process. They knew me before I gained the weight, so there is a ninternal picture of the range. They gave me a heads up when I lost too much and the pictures confirmed it, reinforcing the trust I have in their eye.

Wonderful! Congratulations!

Fantastic work! Congratulations!

Woo hoo! Way to go!

Dennis, Welcome to the MFP forums! What got me going and kept me going was part vanity, part enough-is-enough, and part family history. Ten years and a few kids ago I was a naturally trim and exercised regularly, which felt great -strong and energized. After 40, I was tubby, tired, couldn't get up the stairs without…

Clothes that finally fit well and new goals. The weight loss was just the start!

I take my total and divide by four. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are that number, snacks make up the rest.

I love my Zumba class; at home I sometimes just crank the music and dance with my little one. My favorite videos are Skinny Sculpt and Barefoot Cardio by Ellen Barrett. Her workouts are low impact and include balance challenges, which are important for me. They are a mix of cardio, yoga and Pilates. Light weights, but used…

Congratulaions on the five pounds you've lost! RE: non-downward trends. For me it was about accepting that this was going to take a while. I found that some weeks were better than others and that certain things made the process a lot easier. Best thing I did was make a long term goal - 25 lbs in 10 months. That would…

Awesome! Congratulations!
