That is amazing. You've lost almost half of your body weight!! :-)

It's a happy, happy day! Congratulations!

You got to move it, move it...you got to move it, move it! Pun intended. Along with all the other advice (water, bran, fruit, etc) you need to be moving to ....well...move! Can't tell you how many times I've had to cut an evening run short to get back to the bathroom!

Just enter the cheese pizza and then enter olives (and guesstimate the amount).

What an awesome story. Thank you for sharing it in such an inspiring way! Your daughter is lucky to have you for a dad!!

JJ...I don't know enough about you to say whether you could be a man hater....although if a whole group of your friends who DO know you well are saying you are misjudging the situation, you might want to heed their words, at least long enough to see if they could be right. I know it is easy to build a barrier, to keep from…

Hey...That's big! Congratulations!!

No use crying over spilled milk...or milk that was made into cheese and ice cream, and consumed in large quantities! You can't change the past. Be proud of yourself that you've turned around and are heading in the right direction today! March on...you can do this!

Well, my first marriage ended after 11 years and three kids because my husband and I had TOO much in common. I like men, and , well, as it turns out, so does he! I have now been divorced for 12 years and am ... I hesitate to say....a divorce attorney. And after all that, I still believe in marriage. As for my chances, if…

Awesome...and you know it was sincere cause that guy had nothing to gain (except directions)! Let that put an extra strut in your step...YOU LOOK FIT!

Wow!....just wow!

Uhhhhhmazing!

Pick me, pick me!! I can use some chubby buddies! Thanks for the entertaining post!

Being on MFP has caused me to re-evaluate whether I even really like certain foods. Macaroni Salad is one of those. I have always eaten it when it was in front of me....but now when I look at the calories and the fat content, especially of the variety available in the grocery store deli, I realize I don't like it near…

Happy birthday and congrats on a great start to your journey. You can do this! I started running (again) at 225 and have run my way down to 195! On your mark, get set, GO!

I am 5' 5 1/2". Starting Weight 225. Size 18/20 Current Weight 195. Size 16

Great job! I can see a difference!

Way to go...that's a goal I'm working towards!

I shop at Aldi for fresh produce (among other things). Their prices are well below even the sale prices at the bigger name-brand supermarkets. It pays to no what day the produce truck comes in so you can get the freshest and best.

That is awesome progress! You should be so proud for finding a sustainable way to healthier you...and for sticking with it for the long haul!

Yay for a great weekend. I am in the same boat....my daughter was in the hospital for two weeks, so that meant less exercise and less careful eating for me....and I'm not quite back to daily exercising and recording everything...but the weight has stayed stable and even dropped a little. I think "binging" doesn't even mean…

Way to go Sandy! What an inspiration!!

Good for you for standing up for yourself....if she actually was a good friend, you've opened her eyes and she'll come around. If not, then you haven't lost a whole lot. :-(

Way ahead of me ....and I'm doing the sissy ones at that! Keep it up!

Congratulations. I was a fun to watch your body shrink and your visage brighten as I scrolled through your progress pics. Thanks for sharing!

Great job! I think you could fit another person in there with you now!!

Good to see your eyes open and your weight down. You look fantastic! So does your wife! Congratulations to your much smaller family!

That is funny! Congratulations on the progress....and I'm glad you can "rib" yourself about it!

You are rockin' 188! Way to go!

Feelin' fine at 49! I have a lot to be thankful for!
