I've been on this site for a few months - and those are the best before/after/in progress photo's I've seen. Fantastic! You look awesome.

Try having a daughter that sells them! Those Samoas are the evil spawn of Satan! You can't just eat one or two.

We'll look back on this with a chuckle after you run your first 1/2 marathon!! You're on your way. Good for you.

I use this site all the time as well, but have never paid for a membership. I actually didn't know there was a payment option. I look for the reviews and any recipe that has 1000 people loving it, I make. There's a recipe for breaded pork chops that is incredible - 9000 calories, but incredible.

WOW, WOW,WOW,WOW,WOW!!!! Fantastic. Thanks for posting in the before/after pics. You should be really and truely proud of yourself. That is an amazing transformation. Good for you!

Awesome good for you! Lookin' hot!

I usually weigh my food after it's cooked. A six ounce steak will reduce in size once it's been cooked. Hey I only get to eat 1200 calories so I'm looking to get every calorie I can. I don't think fish or chicken reduce as much as red meat does.

I gained 50 with my first and 60 with the second. It takes a very, very long time to take it off. I recommend swimming - that's a great low impact way to burn some calories. Honestly 15 pounds already and you're on your way to gain like I did. Eat as healthy as you can. I kept thinking I was eating for 2 - and taking in a…

Holy cow! what a transformation! You don't even look like the same person! Lookin' hot!!!!! Super inspriing! I can't wait to reach my goals - thanks for the extra confidence.

Lookin' good! Love the topic post.

I always try to stay way under and not eat the calories. My reason is because what if I'm off in the actual calorie count of the food I eat, 10, 40, 100 calories for a certain food. Especially if I'm guessing the food I ate was 4 oz, when it really may have been 5 oz. I hope that made sense.

I like the eating Chinese idea! Tons of sodium!

That is outstanding - super accomplishment!

WOW. WOW. WOW! Great job! You look fantastic.

I couldn't agree more. We are still the same people - just much happier with our outer appearance. And I have to say Holy Crap too! That's absolutely amazing! Great job.

So proud of you!

Awesome! Congratulations on your weight loss! Way to go!

It took three weeks, but I slowly reduced the sugar in my coffee. I started off with 2 TABLESPOONS of sugar every day, and now I'm down to 1/2 a teaspoon. It was fairly painful at first but I'm so happy to reduce the sugar. My opinion is do it slowly and reduce your dependancy on sugar of any kind. *just my opinion*

I agree with @abkeeling. You need a HRM. I had to save up for mine. It was well worth it. Skinny girls next to me were burning 800 - 1000 calories or more so I assumed I was too. I was even working harder than them. For whatever reason I was only burning 400 to 600 calories at the most. I was eating some of calories burned…

Holy crap! You look so amazing. You're a beautiful lady - good for you on losing the weight. And thank you for posting the pics along the way - what an inspiration. You're stunning, just stunning!

Wow - I'm going through the same thing. I had hoped to have lost a lot more before a Christmas party with friends who I haven't seen in a while. Since Thanksgiving I haven't lost anything. I am still working out, but all the eating out and parties with alcohol have set me back. It's a bit disheartening to go back to my…

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!

Holy cow! what a difference. Good for you.

The first thing - is you're back! Just start again - you can do it. I've realized that I must give up the sugar. I just can't eat one - one turns into 20 or the whole bag. I had yogurt pretzels and vanilla wafers for dinner a few days ago - how wrong is that? 600 calories of cookies and junk. I read that one Dr. thought…

I watched Food Inc - that will change you FOREVER!

You're looking really good. Way to stay with your goals. I think you've lost a lot of weight in a short period of time and the results are amazing. Good for you! I see a major change!

Stop reading MFP right now and do 50 situps, 10 squats and 15 pushups - I'll do them with you! It's 19 degree wind chill where I'm at but no snow. I don't feel like doing anything either. You can do this! You can do this! I'm off to do the exercises!

Loved Speed Racer! The Speed Racer from the 70's not the new crap. Every Saturday watched Chim-chim, Racer X, Trixie - I loved it. Then I watched Shazam and Almighty Isis. Anyone remember those?

I love the idea of bringing your own baked chips. That's totally brilliant. I'm afraid I've stayed away from mexican restaurants because I always eat too much and pay for it the next day. My goal, which I don't always stick to - is to not order anything with cheese. Not as yummy tasting, but I reduce a ton of calories and…

Once a month, the kids have Pizza from Papa Johns. I will head to the grocery store to buy one of the box o' pizzas. My reason is because I know exactly the amount of calories and sodium I'm eating. Don't get me wrong, it's not near as "fun" as Papa Johns. But typically I do not eat them because I try to stay away from…
