Totally impressed! And I can already see your abs coming through! Looking great!

My weight loss has been very very slow! It has taken me over 2 years to lose what I have lost (55 pounds)! Sometimes, especially right now, it is VERY slow but you just keep going because it's not a race. It takes a very long time to unlearn bad habits and relearn good ones. Anyone can do a crash diet, lose a lot very…

Mine are 1% Milk Coffee Bananas Spinach Cheese Avocado Peanut Butter Haha...Sounds about right!

^^^This!!

Total goody-good, honor student, big in choir and art, not athletic at all. I weighed 40 pounds more than I do today. I tended to stay away from everyone and didn't have a ton of friends. Nobody hated me, but I didn't have a group of best friends. Totally awkward, shy, weird. I never spoke up in class, didn't participate…

That's awesome! I love this!

I just hit 550 today. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who is that high or higher. I am starting to second guess over 500 days meant I was committed or just sad.

I totally agree with this. I can be so much more honest on MFP than I am in many other places in my life.

I did one last October! Very fun! Sort of disorganized but still very fun.

Thank you for sharing. I love the way you wrote this and how honest you are being. It's so hard to change those negative thoughts. Even for me, I haven't had an ED but I still constantly battle those negative thoughts that tell me that my worth is dependent on the number on the scale. You look so happy, keep going!

What size did you start with? 16 What size are you now? 4's in women's 5's in jr's Most Current Stats: Hips? 35.5 Waist? 26 Thighs? 19 Height? 5'3" Weight? 135

This is where I struggle the most. My brain doesn't "see" the awesome changes. Maybe I can hope that in time, like you I will be able to actually catch up and feel great all the time. You look fabulous! :D

Amazing! You really have done so great!

You look amazing! Great job!

Research is fun! :) I got engaged when I was 19. We had been together for almost 4 years before we got engaged. I got married at age 20. Yes we are still together - Married for 4.5 years and together for 10 years now! :)

I was 211 at 9 months pregnant when I was 19 years old (I gained 52 pounds while pregnant!). Then I was at 198 after I had my baby. Now 5 years later I weigh 135! Oh and I'm 5'3".

All of you are so brave and beautiful! :)

YESS!! I really can't stand people who put certain foods on the "bad" list. I don't eat every favorite food there is every day, but no food is off limits. Thank goodness I'm not the only one who feels this way!

I do too! It's the only way to make this work! And eating all those things I love is even better now than it was before I lost weight, because I enjoy it completely. I love food! :) hahahaha

LOL! I would be the same way. Definitely need a kiss or something. Maybe someday I'll be as lucky!

I'm so jealous! I want to meet Steven Tyler sooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!

We are practically twins! I will add you! :) Age 25 I'm 5'3" HW:190 CW: 135 GW: 125

Thanks! I will definitely try this! Hopefully I'll see the time I want soon!

My weight's been all over the place, highest was 190ish - Above is me about 175-180 pounds. Below is me today about 135. I'm 5'3". Hope it helps inspire you! You are welcome to add me as a friend if you want! :) Good luck on your journey!

Wow! Great job! You look fantastic!

Thank you everyone!!! You all have made me feel like a million bucks!

I did the whole lifestyle change. This website has been a huge help! Eat lots of great foods, that are nutrient rich and that will keep you full. Drink LOTS of water. The thing that really started to get me to lose past the 160s was running. I started running and now I'm addicted, and LOVE it. Also another piece of advice…

I'm 5'3"

All of you make me blush! Thank you! :D :D
