Heartgard--absolutely. Frontline, we tend to skip since they have never had a flea or a tick (I have two Labs, ages 13 and 9)

Processed junk and frozen meals.

Look at all the beautiful people!

I do this all the time. I wouldn't say I'm OCD, but definitely have an O-C style.

You look fabulous. To my eye, looks like you lost so much more than 50!

What a great way to think about it!

55 y.o. 5/6" SW - 232 CW - 164.6 GW - 140 (we'll evaluate whether I need to drop down a bit more)

My goodness gracious, but don't you look years younger! And so very beautiful. Wishing you continued success on your journey and a lifetime of good health and happiness.

Putting on shoes and socks and even, gasp--panty hose! Did some gardening today and bending over was oh, so easy this spring.

Wow! What a transformation! You look fabulous! Congratulations. You can't beat photos like this for great inspiration to others. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you soooooooo much, everyone! Your kind words have encouraged me to push myself even farther! And especially thank you for your sweet commens about my beloved Grace. There is something magical about her--she has a gift for making others happy just by looking at her. I am blessed by her very being.

Thank you. I credit a couple things to my success so far. First, meal planning. I use an on-line meal planner at emeals.com. They provide weekly meal plans and shopping lists for dinners. That helps me control portions and it also keeps me from buying junky foods. I use a Natural and Organic plan, so it's full of lots of…

Even the cortisol resulting from stress will add pounds. Don't worry about a single "bad weekend." from a calorie standpoint . Hope everything is better soon.

Fabulous! Congratulations!

Look at all the gorgeous people on here, every single one! Congratulations, everybody

Thanks so much.

Absolutely fantastic! You look FABULOUS!

Thank you! It is so hard to see the changes in myself, though the younger appearance may also be from my new haircolor! I am 55 years old.

Pending double knee replacements here. I do stationary bike, elliptical and a lot of seated upper body workouts both with and without 3 lbs weights. Works great!

Oh, I had the same experience! I think it's perfectly normal.

Nope

This is how I played it under the rules that existed 35 to 40 years ago. A simpler time, for sure.

Augustus (Gus for short) Just so ya know, my older Lab is named Augusta. Suits her perfectly--she's so regal. We tend to call her "Gusta" or "Gust" for short. Gust fits since she was a very fast agility dog in her prime.

Sparkpeople has some good videos with Coach Nicole. I also like theTiffany Rothe workouts. The Pentagon has also put out a series called "Fit for Duty". Just Google in and you'll find these.

You rock! Congratulations.

Saw my ortho surgeon today--he immediately remarked that I had lost weight since my last visit just three weeks ago!

Motivational. Before and after photos suggest the culmination of lots of hard work, effort, persistence I'm genuinely happy for the person who does this. It never fails that I cry when I see someone take a champions lap in the sport that I love--dog agility. I always think about all the love and teamwork that went into…

Nosh

I'm putting the scale away for the entire month of April. I was addicted to daily weigh ins and it was too stressful. So that I don't cheat, I put it in a suitcase out in the garage.

My husband is 100% supportive and is so appreciative of the food I make for us. He has gotten used to measuring EVERYTHING out when he helps me in the kitchen. We've been married for 33 years; I guess I'll keep him for another 33!
