The progress pictures are amazing. All of you are an inspiration to us all!! Keep up the good fight; keep your MFP friends updated!!! Have a good diet week!!!

You have to decide whether this is a lifestyle change, or is this another one of your great diets (smile)!!! Personally, I have done both. Therefore, I have had to do major shopping for smaller clothes (when I weighed less), and I had to buy new bigger clothes (when I gained weight). Currently, I'm adding small amounts of…

Congratulations!! You look great!!! Keep up the good work!!

That's my goal too!!! Count me in!!! Are you starting a new MFP group? How do we keep in touch?

Kuddos to you!!! Good Luck on maintenance!!!

Congratulations!!! You look fantastic!!! Keep up the good work!! Any diet tips?

Walking is a fantastic way to lose weight. I know, because I used to do 3 to 4 miles every day with my golden retriever. As long as you're moving, and walking at least 30 minutes a day, you will lose weight. Currently, I don't walk like I used to, because my golden passed away; I can't walk as far with my two little dogs.…

Count me in!!! What's the name of the group; how can we find you? Post details please!

Count me in!! I need the challenges and the encouragement!!! Thanks for the invite!!!

I am 5'4'', and I currently weigh 222.8 pounds. I wear a size 20 jeans (WalMart), and I probably wear a size 18 dress. This is an improvement, because I used to wear a size 24 jeans!!! Thank goodness for MFP!!!

10 You rock!!!

Congratulations!!! You go girl!!! They say even if a millionaire loses all of his/her money, they can make it again, because they did it once, and they can do it again!!! You know the steps, the sacrifices and the rewards!!! Just do it!!! Hang in there for your MFP friends!!! Good Luck!!!

On Fridays, I have a large Lean Cuisine dinner that is within my calories for the day!! As for other cheat days, they crop up on their own, i.e. lunch dates with friends, birthdays, holidays and family gatherings. Don't look for cheat days. They're part of life!!!

You look fantastic!!! I will heed your advice about Yes I Can!! I want to weigh 20 pounds less by December, 2013. I' m worried about the holidays, but that's my goal!!!

I conform to the WW method. I have one day that's my weigh in day - Saturday!!! Pick a day and stick to it!! I will weigh myself on Wednesday, if I think I have gotten off track; this gives me 2 days to clean up my act for Saturday!! In the past, I used to weigh everyday, but it was too anxiety ridden. You don't lose…

Congratulations!!! You are a lot slimmer now!!! Keep up the great work!!! Happy Zumba!!!

How close to your goal weight are you? You may be within 10 pounds, and the last ten pounds are the worst. Are you getting enough sleep? You need at least 8 hours, and insufficient sleep makes it harder to lose weight!! How long have you been on your diet? It takes time. Check WebMD for your ideal weight, calories and…

I would like to lose another 20 pounds. I think this is a realistic goal; I hope to achieve it!! Good luck to all MFP members!!!

As a friend of mine told me, everybody notices a 20 pound weight loss!! As for 15 pound weight loss, you will notice your clothes fit and feel better, even your bra!!! Hang in there and go for it!!! Just do it!! Good luck on your weight loss journey!!!

Congratulations!!! You look fantastic!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Welcome Aboard!! I too have lost the same 50 pounds for the past 5 years. We need to examine why we keep the weight on. I have a fear of intimacy after a nasty marriage. But I have come to grips with the situation, and I am moving on. The new me will fit into a size 12 pants in the future (smile). Have a great Labor Day…

Congratulations!!! You are a real winner!! Stick to your goals, and motivate all of us at MFP. I am 5'4'', and I currently weigh 222.2. I have over 80 pounds to lose to be on the high end of a normal BMI. But I love success stories like yours. They keep me going. Have a great Labor Day weekend!!

Don't worry about being stuck at the same weight for a week. For the first 2 months of my diet, I would lose 4 pounds every other week. The weeks in between I would lose nothing. The body is shocked you are watching your calories and exercising. Keep up the good work. Also, try and get 8 hours of sleep each night. The body…
