Looks great! What's your secret?

Amazing!

Claire, You really need to up your calories. Below 1200 is not healthy. I went on a starvation diet when I was about your age thinking it was the right way to lose weight. Basically, your metabolism shuts down and you start to lose muscle along with fat. Your body tells itself it is starving and stores fat. In the long…

Wow!

Thanks for the encouragement and good luck to you in this weight loss venture!

you go, girl!!!

My daughter has the digital camera. I need to have her take some photos of her old dad. I'll have to make that happen!

one word- APPLE! So good for you and so filling. Takes the hunger blues away. Try one - I'm serious!

Welcome! There are many people here to help you. Good luck to you and your husband.

Becky, It's water retention! Day after Christmas (26th) I weighted 287. Today, the 28th, after one hard workout in the gym I'm 279. 8 pounds in about 48 hrs. Keep working out - it'll drop quickly Good luck

Damage was done! 6 lbs gained! Back on track and I will still meet those "mini goals."

Congratulations! You look fine!

If it is to be, it is up to me!

The female form is a work of art! I have never understood why people want to change that.

Isn't that about the best feeling in the world??? My clothes aren't comfortable because they are TOO BIG!!! Yeah!

My experience is simple... If you are not "mentally" ready to lose weight...it ain't gonna happen! Good luck to you. I hope you "find" it.

Great news! I'm hoping for the same in about a week I will be seeing my cardiologist on Monday, Oct. 12. I hoping he tells me to bag the blood pressure meds. Last time I saw him I was at 312 lbs and now I'm at 274 lbs. I usually take my blood pressure readings on those machines at the stores. I hope they are reliable…

Thanks for all the kind responses. I teach school and I was dreading having to buy school clothes this year. I have always keep most of my clothes over the years - fit or no fit. When I started trying things on this year I discovered I had 16 pairs of pants and an unbelievable amount of shirts without buying a thing! They…

Keep it up! You look great, but more important than that I bet you feel a lot better!

Yeah! Kickin' the Double Cheeseburger's *kitten*! Keep it up

From your ticker it looks like you have recently changed the first digit of your weight. That's a huge success. Been there, done that! Keep up the good work!

No goal is silly. Congratulations! I'm diabetic and my last A1C was 5.8 - still a little high, but I'll take it! Keep it up. The small steps soon turn into big leaps!

Okay, you people talked me into it!I'm changing my starting weight to reflect the 348 lbs I weighed when i was diagnosed with diabetes. Thanks for the support
