You look amazing!

You look amazing and I can hear it from your blog as to how far you've come! That is so awesome! Congratulations!

You look awesome! That is amazing! What an inspiration you are!

Awesome job! Thanks for the encouragement!

Wow, amazing difference! Way to go!

Congratulations! You deserve to brag! You are an inspiration to us all!

Bravo for you for going to the psychologist and AA! You're starting to take care of yourself! I've never been through what you're going through and am not trying to judge but please take care of yourself even better! It doesn't matter what we weigh, we don't deserve what you're going through. I have been married 40 years…

Wow, those pictures are amazing! Congrats on you accomplishment! I really admire you!

Hi, please feel free to add me. I am 60 and have been overweight all my life. I have 100 pounds to lose and this isn't my first time on fitness pal either. Arthritis along with my age makes it difficult but I want to become as healthy as I can. Partners are a great motivation for me! We CAN do this together!

You're not alone! That's why I'm back on here. I'd lost 80 lbs and then instead of going on slowly went back to my bad habits. I know I'm an emotional eater! I know I have a bad relationship with food. So here I am really wanting to lose and feel and look better for me. I'm really going to try hard. One day at a time.…

Thanks for posting! It helps knowing I'm not the only one struggling! Good luck on your journey too!

Thanks everyone! I have let things sabotage me but I have to focus on me when it comes to food. I know my relationship with food isn't healthy and I'm going to work hard to change that. You all are right, we CAN do it!

I'm finding what's the hardest is cooking for my family the things that they like. I like them too. Anything I like, I have a hard time with wanting 2nd helpings of some of the high calorie food. Any tips for that?

Thanks a lot! It means a lot to hear from you both!

Thanks, Lorbie49! Support is so important! I would love to be friends and help each other through our journies.

I'm not at the same point you are but binging is problem for me, especially at night. I'd like to be a binge support buddy.

That is exactly what I did last winter. I know what I need to do. I had lost some weight and then did just what you did. I now don't like the way that weight back on me feels! Lousy! I am back now, going to take it one day at a time. Thanks for putting into words what I need to do to keep the motivation. I'm committing to…

Been there and done that and am working on changing that behavior too. Feel free to add me too.

Wow, thanks for the inspiration! I always need some of that! Way to go!

All of you are amazing and so inspirational! Congrats! I've got 100 to go and reading these successes keep me going! Thanks!

Do: Listen to advice from knowledgeable, caring individuals, apply what might work for you and let the rest go. Don't: Skip meals.

I like Biggest Loser. I guess I looked at it differently, knowing I physically can't do what they do and that they were being medically supervised constantly to do it safely. I try to listen carefully when the trainers talk to the contestants when they are struggling emotionally because I can lose weight but it's me…

Wow, you look awesome! A tough journey well done! Keep up the good work! You are an inspiration to us all and thank you for sharing!

Kerri, Thanks for your post. You've given us all encouragement, whether we have 10 lbs or 100 lbs to lose. The ideas of how to and what to check on if we aren't losing are great! Thanks for the post!

Wow, you look amazing! I admire your determination! You are right that no one can do it for us! Thanks for posting and thanks for letting us know we CAN do it too! Congratulations!

Hi, everyone, my name is Jane. I live in Iowa. I'm 58, have been married 38 years as of tomorrow and have 2 grown boys and a granddaughter. I have been overweight most of my life and have tried many different diets, losing and gaining back. In the past two years, I have had challenges with the exercising. I have…

Glad to be here. I'm looking forward to the positive and helping attitudes for all of us on the weight loss journey.

I alternate between a Special K protein meal bar, Greek yogurt or 1 over easy egg with 1 pc. whole wheat toast and 1 packet instant oatmeal.

Thank you for your post! I too am on a 1200 doctor recommended calorie limit. I don't get on forums much but do love MFP and the friends I have. I have spinal stenosis in my neck and need neck surgery. I am also morbidly obese, which I already knew and have tried dieting and regained. In order to have the surgery safely, I…
