Like a breath of fresh air - I too eat "junk" now and then - as long as it's within my calorie goal I don't care - it's what I need to stay on track and it keeps me sane. Hope you enjoyed your workout

Well done on losing all that weight! I am the same height as you and stuck now at 143 for the last month. I still look in the mirror and don't see a change, but when I look a photos of me in the same swimsuit 5 months ago there is definitely a change. 35lb is a huge weight loss and you should be patting yourself on the…

Just remember the weight didn't go on in a month and it won't come off that fast either - it is a long journey but you have started it really well - you can do it - don't give up. You got this!

Good for you - you should be really proud of yourself

That is fantastic - well done! Really inspired me today thanks for sharing.

Well done - hope it's given you the inspiration to carry on.

That's the best feeling! Well done and keep it up.

This may be a really stupid question - but if you do that, do you have to "warm up" first? I do wonder sometimes about doing ab crunches in front of the TV but am scared to doing myself an injury. We get it drummed into us when we do those workout DVDs about the importance of warm up first and cool down - but is it because…

Well done that's a fab transformation!

It may be "big" but it is well toned and looks great! Mine is big but wobbles too ;-)

well done that's amazing! I am feeling pretty deflated at the moment as all I can still see is wobbly fat bits - I put a photo of me in my swimsuit 5 months ago next to one I took today and I could see a huge difference. We need to do this to I guess from time to time as we just get used to looking at ourselves everyday…

Well done you look great - bet you feel like a totally different person (you certainly look like one!)

Amazing transformation - certainly motivated me this morning - thanks for sharing - well done!

Truly amazing story - thanks for sharing. What a great inspiration you are - with your health issues I bet there are a lot of others out there (with less or even no problems) that would have given up a long time ago. Well done you should be extremely proud of yourself.

Amazing progress well done - thanks for sharing - it has certainly inspired me to keep going (and if I am brave enough, then one day I might post my pics too!) Show us your 6 pack when you have it - with your determination it doesn't sound like it will take you long!

No wonder she didn't recognise you! What an amazing transformation - you look like a completely different person - well done

well done what an amazing transformation - very inspiring - thanks for sharing

Glad you feel good about yourself - you should too - 10lb is still 10lb even if you feel it's only a bit - and 61/2 inches is brill - and all that in only 3 weeks?! Well done! Remember how you feel now in case you get to a time in the future where you feel your weight loss has stalled or you aren't losing as much as…

Your profile pic is amazing - wish my body looked like yours! He obviously is a totally rubbish photographer who couldn't get a good shot because you were moving too fast for his camera to keep up! Don't lose any sleep over it and certainly don't put yourself down - you have no reason to.

Easier for me to say but just try to ignore him - or maybe ask him not to comment on what you are eating and when. If you are in your calorie budget you can eat what you like really! Although it is best to try to eat as healthy as possible - but I still have biscuits and the odd chocolate as I have enough "calories left"…

Well done - you look great

I think you have done an amazing job - you look great - it's good to remember how much our bodies have changed - it gives a real boost - well done!

Found this - not sure how up-to-date it is - but it looks like a pretty accurate picture. I went there last week and had a grilled chicken burger (as opposed to the usual beef one I would have had a few months ago!) at least it felt a bit "healthier"! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/nutrition-facts-calories/frankie-and-bennys

Well done! I think the amount I weigh doesn't affect my mood as much - it's the way my body changes I like more! Can totally get where you are coming from!

Well done good on you. I too eat the same kind of things that I love and know fall into my calorie intake - takes the stress out of wondering what to eat!

aawww that's great! Can't wait for people to notice my loss. Can understand how it made your day! And good for you choosing the cucumber and tomato sides - that is true dedication!

That's brilliant - well done to you for keeping at it.

well done that's fantastic! This is the down side to losing weight - having to buy all those extra clothes ;-)

well done - I reached mine today too (only just as it is 24.89) but at least it's going the right way! It's a great feeling but I have realised that I do need to shift some more flab and wobbly bits! Hopefully it has given you the incentive to carry on if you need to.

I was on day 5 of Level 2 and have now not done it for a week - I found level 1 really good and was losing inches, then level 2 I didn't notice any difference and didn't like it so have now given up. Not sure whether to just skip straight to level 3 and see if I can get my motivation back. I was so proud that I had stuck…
