You look simply amazing! I know exactly what you mean. I call it having "fat goggles" on... when I get out of the shower, if I hear my husband coming I have this urge to get my towel on as fast as I can because I still feel like I have the same body I used to. I think it's totally normal. Be confident, you look GREAT! Keep…

Welcome!! MFP is so amazing... You can do this, make yourself be loyal to it and you WILL see results!

Thank you so much everyone! Very motivating to wake up to all your kind comments!

I'm down 40lbs and am shooting for 20-30 more. So far my skin seems to be tightening as the weight comes off. I *think* if you don't have stretch marks, it ends up a lot better. I've had 2 kids and don't have a lot of elasticity left in my skin. I got stretch marks from my pubic bone to up above my belly button so I'm sure…

That's great! I'm just BARELY over the obese range which is so frustrating because looking at myself, I really don't consider myself obses at all... but it's because I'm so dang short! It's not fair! Really messes with your head sometimes.

I'm sorry :( I'm not sure there's anything you can do to just burn carbs.... just keep exercising! :) You'll be back on track tomorrow!

Amazing, incredible, fantasic! You look like a completely different person. Congrats on your success!

I'm not tall, I'm only 5'3 but I'm "big boned". Even when I was 140 pounds I was still a 10/12 and I will forever have thunder thighs lol I'm still losing weight, these are progress pics:

Your stomach is definitly more flat!

I can see a great difference! Congrats on your marriage and your weight loss!!!

I had 2 yesterday! I put on the shorts I wore on vacation 3 weeks ago, and I could pull them on without even unbuttoning them!!! I couldn't even wear them, they were trying to fall off. AND, as I was undressing, I took a look at my back and my back roll where my bra usually is are GONE! No more back rolls :D

160... Hopefully 150. I'm pretty big busted and have thunder thighs so not sure anything under 140 is realistic for my body type. I'm 5'3, and at 175lbs now.

I want to be my husband's fantasy girl! There's no reason for me to think that I'm not already, but I know I've put on weight from having kids, and just... LIFE. I want him to want me as much as he did when we were in high school ceramics class ;) I also want all the guys I used to go to school with to not BELIEVE I'm the…

I'm just getting on it and going lol I haven't messed with any of the resistance settings or anything yet. I just go at a decent pace for a half hour... usually for the last 2 minutes and go crazy on it, pushing myself as hard as I can. I know it's not much, but I know once I start using the resistance settings, I'm going…

When I reach 160 (16 more pounds) I get a whole new wardrobe. If I reach 150, my husband promised me a Vegas trip! He said he would even my fly mom out here to babysit our kids when we went! (We are in Hawaii, she is in Washington) I can't wait!!! I got a tattoo once I reached about 25 pounds just because I felt entitled…

To feel comfortable with my husband carrying me, or giving me a piggy back ride :) I weigh 3lbs more than him still so maybe in 10lbs or so.

Amazing job!!!!!!!! You really do look fantasic, and your "walks on the beach" made me giggle!!

These are my before and durings. I've lost about 5 pounds since the 2nd picture. I can't wait to post my 160 pound pics when I get there!!

Keep it up!! You're doing great, stay disciplined!

You look fantastic!

This is my progress so far. My goal is to get down to 160, possibly 150. I'm 5'3 and at about 178 currently.

5'3, 178lbs... Size 16. When I was 200 I wore an 18.

Great job!!! Such a huge difference!

Awesome! I can see a total change in your arms!

I'm trying to do a mix of "dietting", but also trying to make changes that will be easy to roll into "regular life" once I hit my goal. I still let myself have diet soda, but I only have maybe 2 a week, where as before I'd have a couple a day. I keep my house STOCKED with veggies and fruit constantly so I have zero excuse.…

Thanks everyone!! Feeling very motivated!

Thanks!!

I did! I had actually already lost some weight by the time I remembered but I just took them in a full length mirror in some grey leggings and a tight red tank top.... I wouldn't show anyone them now, BUT I will share them when I have my after pictures to put next to them!! I can't wait!! I've already lost 17 pounds since…

Oh! Also wanted to add that I've lost all the baby weight and am now 19 pounds under what I was when I got pregnant. I'm gonna keep on keepin on tho!

Thanks for all the replies ladies! Glad to see I'm not alone! I added 400 calories to what I would normally eat to lose weight, which is 1200... so 1600. Most of the time I come under by a hundred calories or so, but I try my best. The weight is coming off really nicely and I thank BFing!!! I'm really motivated and not…
