Wow, I must admit, I almost didn't believe the before and after pics were of the same person! And in 12 weeks?? That is incredible. I don't even know you and I'm super proud of you. You have definitely inspired me to work harder. Amazing!

This thread was started last Friday, hence the reference to Friday. I'm quite pleased to see it's still going though :)

Wikipedia has been proven to be just as reliable as any other encyclopedia. I know it's counter intuitive because the information is editable by anyone, but the fact remains that misinformation doesn't last long on Wikipedia because it is quickly edited out. Several studies have been done to assess the reliability of…

Nice Job!! You look fantastic! I'm trying to figure out where you think you have 40 lbs left to lose!

I'm not one to spend a bunch of money on clothes or makeup. I feel like it's such a waste of my hard earned $$. I don't go all out for you guys putting myself together, but you know what? I'm still single...it looks like that's what you guys obviously want me doing because being myself isn't doing much to get me noticed.…

Mine isn't that disgusting looking, but it IS disgusting smelling and that is arguably the bigger turn-off for most people. It's Chinese style Sour Bamboo. It smells absolutely horrendous when it's cooking, but it is to die for delicious to eat!

I'm on 1200 calories a day. But I'm only 4'10" and lead a very sedentary life (desk job etc) so I really don't need much more than 1200 calories anyway. At least I won't need much more than that after I reach goal. I've lost 63 lbs in the last six months.

You may have joined MFP to get ideas/motivation/help from others, but I did not. I joined so that I'd have a place to log my calories every day and see my macros. That's pretty much it. Yes, I check the community section once in awhile, but I don't need anyone else to validate what I'm doing. It works for me. The fact that…

Well it depends what kind of carbs you are eating. You should eat complex carbs from veggies, not refined carbs that are in grains etc...

LOL about the canned peas! You don't have to eat canned peas if you don't like them. There are plenty of other veggies and beans etc...that you can eat instead.

I went to a series of lectures that included Fuhrman, Rip Esselstyn (Engine 2 Diet), and Dr Caldwell Esselstyn (Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease). At first some of their ideas do seem a little extreme, but they have a ton of medical science to back them up. Of the three of them I liked Fuhrman the least. He was pompous…

It can be awkward when lots of people start noticing and commenting on it all the time. It's also a little disheartening to see how many people pay more attention to you in general when you're smaller. People I've never met before (and don't know I've lost weight) give me all kinds of attention. It's like I'm a real person…

Yes, I found myself obsessively checking for no good reason. I found myself getting depressed with all the "I'm engaged!", "I just got married!" "I'm pregnant" "I'm so many weeks along" "I just had a baby!" etc etc...all those life events that seem to elude me. The constant updates about them started to make me feel like a…

When I first started running I could only run to the next light pole. I have no idea what the distance is between light poles, but I know it isn't much! lol. Now I can run five miles :) PS. Before I could run from one light pole to another, I could barely walk. In the beginning, I could only walk about a quarter of a mile…

I hate the way I look. I hate my face so losing the weight doesn't help with that. And as I lose weight I notice wrinkles and uneven skin tone on my face even more. I feel sort of sad and pathetic for feeling this way, but I genuinely think it's true. I'm not an attractive person. :(

woohoo!

I completely agree with this. Also, I hate when people add a new item when it's the exact same thing as one listed 6 other times. Find the accurate one and use that. Also, I hate when the serving size says "one container." WTF is one container?? At least tell me what the size of the container is. One container could be…

Yayy!! This is fantastic! Congratulations!!

Yayyy! Congrats!!! :)

I'm 4'10" and I'm 33 years old. I started my journey at 228 lbs. I currently weigh 173 lbs. My goal is to get to 124 lbs. I'm down about 55 lbs now. I think the key is to track everything. Every single bite, lick and taste. I tend to over estimate my portions just in case. Consistent exercise is key also. The exercise…

That happened to my boyfriend once. I don't know why. I'll be curious to hear other answers.
