You're not alone! We've all done that in some way! Welcome back and know you CAN do it!

Wow, what a transformation! Congratulations, Ed! You look awesome! Thanks for helping us all know it is possible!

Wow, a big difference! You are very pretty! Congrats! Keep up the good work!

I am in my 50s and have arthritis which makes it hard at times. I do water aerobics and it is the best for our joints. If you do the swimming, drink the water and follow the logging and limits that MFP makes for you, you will definately see results. Then as you lose more, you can keep adding things that will make it more…

I have some kind of protein snack. A cheese stick or Greek yogurt. It seems to really be helping. Good luck!

I have been overweight all my life. I went to a dr that referred me to an office for weight loss surgery. I went and listened to the pros and cons of the options. I choose to go to a dr to do medical weight loss without surgery. Along with that they have a psychologist that I will start seeing to help me deal with…

You are beautiful! You should be so proud! Keep it up! I am the same build and weight, only older! You are a role model that shows us we can do it. Thanks for posting!

Im the same way. I blame it on cooking for three adult guys. They like they'e meat and potatoes and not so much a variety of vegetables. I've been doing the same as above, making sure I journal everything I put in my mouth and am doing better for now. Good luck! You can do it too.

That is awesome! You look great and show us all it can be done!

You look amazing! Good for you!

Yes, I just had my knees replaced Dec., 2011 3 days apart. They were bone on bone. The dr had said we could try the injections but he didn't think it'd help so I said no to the needles. Synvisc is the gel they are talking about and you have to have some cartilage left in order to try that and I didn't so didn't try it. I…

Welcome! You are not the only one that knows what you should do but it doesn't make it easy. We all are on the same journey and have our set backs and have to learn as we go how to deal with our stressors. I am having a problem with getting control of my eating. I know I can do it because I've lost some before but never to…

Hi, Barb, I would love to be on this thread, too. I am 57 years old and had double knee replacements in Dec. I lost 56 lbs before surgery and want to continue. I am layed off in winter and will be going back to work Monday. I had maintained my loss but the last 3 weeks have been difficult. I would like to do the following…

Great job! Your determination will get you there!

Wow, girl, that is awesome! You look fantastic. What discipline you have! Be so proud of yourself!

Thanks for asking this question! These ideas are great! I needed to reread some of what I already know but it helps along the journey. Thanks everyone!

You look great! You've done fantastic and I'm sure will reach your goal even it's not by the exact date you'd picked. Way to go!

Wow, you look great! You are a role model for sure! Thanks for posting the pics! Way to go!

Looks great! I'm definately going to try it. Thanks!

I've lost 50 lbs and have 100 to go. You are a role model to me. Great work! You should be so proud of yourself!

That's an awesome before and after! Way to go! Be very proud of yourself!

You look fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself, especially with a pregnancy in there. You are so right, we just need to keep working on our journey and it needs to be a lifetime change. Not saying it's easy, but don't give up! Way to go!

You are gorgeous! Congratulations on your accomplishment! You are an awesome role model for us that are struggling along our journey! Be very proud of yourself!

I didn't see Cher. Enjoyed watching them and also thought they did a great job. Thought Chaz did pretty well, Ricki Lake and Nancy Grace, too.

You look great! Great job! I agree "GO BEARS"!

There is a big difference! Great motivation! You look great! Keep it up!

I have to admit that being overweight all my life didn't make me a good example for my children. One is of normal size and the other overweight. Also, when losing weight, I tried to get the overweight child to work on his at the same time. I do know from my house, they hide the food or bring in food that none of the family…

I agree. Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches are delicious. We love the mint. Vanilla has a great flavor too.

You look absolutely fantastic! You're an inspiration.
