Your dedication to making a change and improving your life is so evident. You are such a inspiration to others needing to loose. Be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. You can look back and see all the progress you have made and know that the rest will come with the same dedication. You can make it to your…

You are truly an inspiration to others. Great before and after shots. Be proud of yourself and all you have accomplished!!! You look awesome!!! I started out very close to you in size and weight, and still have a ways to go to reach my ultimate goal, but I make small ones to reach so the big one doesn't seem so far away.

Welcome to this site. It has been a great help for both myself and my husband. We are empty nesters now and are starting to think about taking care of ourselves now. My mother has several health problems too and I don't want to end up like her with them so I am trying to make a difference now while I can. Good luck and…

Awesome!! You are looking great! You have a right to be proud!!!

Awesome job!!! You look fabulous and are so very motivated!!!

Keep up the great job you are doing! You look awesome!

I have lost more in my lower half than anywhere else, but I have walked a lot, 2.5 miles a day for quite a while. So maybe you need to target the areas by exercising them the most. Either way, you are doing great!!!

As you exercise you are exchanging fat cells for muscle. As muscle weighs more than fat for mass, you may be able to see a difference in your body and not notice the difference on the scale.

It sounds like your "guy friend" is not a friend at all. More like he wanted to hurt you as he may be hurting from someone else rejecting him. You have to love yourself before you can let others in close enough to love you too. You are a beautiful person with curves that real men love!

You look awesome!!! I am very happy for you!

We take the flaxseet oil in a gelcap form daily for the omega 3 (I can't take the fish oil, will not sit well on my stomach) and we also use the flax meal in cooking.

Be proud of all your hard work and all you have acomplished. You look great!

TCBY frozen yogurt is awesome!

You have truly taken control of you life and are an inspiration to others with the 100 + pounds to lose! You are amazing!!!

I have been wondering about this, I am down to 1290 per day and only lost .6 lbs. this week when I am on the 1.5 lbs per week to lose. I don't eat back the calories earned from exercise and am trying to eat the "clean foods" mostly, no softdrinks, chips or processed meats. Which being a woman, I would need less calories,…

To me the flavor of spices to accent food with out the salt weighing it down. I am experiencing the real flavor of health food.

You can find many good quality clothes at thrift stores (and yard sales this time of year) where people like you lost or gained weight and changed out clothes. While in the transition stage of weight loss you (and me :smile:) will be better off just getting enough to get by with for now. Also, the end of summer clearances…

Great job!!!

I take my vitamins at night so my body can absorb them better and not upset my stomach. You could try that and see if it will help.

This too shall pass. I also remind myself (and my husband) we didn't put it all on at once so we can't take it all off at once.

WOW!!! Great job!!!

I was shocked that someone your age would have such a high cholesterol level, but I am very happy for you and encouraged by you to continue the struggle to loose weight and get in shape. Keep up the good work!!!
