Hello Angela, I am Amy! I am a fellow food addict, and have been where u are. At my highest I was 300.3 lbs, and 15 months later, I am down to around 200. I did it with healthy eating and exercise, no tricks, no gimmicks. I still have a way to go, but if you would like a friend that is on here everyday, I would be more…

Great job!

Thanks guys, I also have problems with suicidal tendencies in high school, and I want better for my son. Its a tough age without kids harassing you and teachers ignoring it. Pretty soon we will have moved and will work on getting back on track and just be careful. Can't wait for it to be over!

It's not uncommon for it to become harder to loose as you go along, especially loosing 87 lbs, which is impressive to say the least! Something to remember (even though it is not fair) is that men generally lose the weight easier than women with less effort. When my husband is on target, he loses probably twice as fast as I…

304 sticks of butter - that is a lot of butter....

You look fabulous! Just remember not to let the actions of others influence u. U r better off without them!

Amazing and inspiring!

I use saucony shoes. Only us the saucony progrid xodus shoes. Wouldn't be able to run without them

So true - try asking friend or family members in the same area for a GYN recommendation. I always found that is the best way to find a GYN you are happy with. And don't put this off, call on Monday morning. Even as a RN, over the internet, I would have no idea what to tell you, so as u are concerned, get a doctor involved.

Congrats on you loss and all of the hard work! My husband has also started out near you, so I know how hard it is to loss the weight. Also, great pics. Love them!

That looks like so much fun, good for u!!

Any help on this subject is great - as I have noticed a slow down in my weight and started to go between the same four lbs the last few weeks and don't want to be stuck her for months either. Thanks guys!

For bread, my husband and I use bagel thins which are 110 calories. Each one has different fiber and protein amnts, so make sure to look at those. On this I usually put laughing cow cheese instead of cheese or mayo, and then I like both cajun and buffalo turkey. Very yummy. As for carbs, I do allow myself some. I buy lara…

Wow - you have been through a lot in the last few years. I am so sorry for all of your losses. I held my dads hand less than a year ago as he passed away in my parent's living room, not living long enough to hold his new grandson (he went unresponsive the night that he was born - my sister was still in the hospital) and my…

You look amazing! Keep up the hard work!

Adding you as well. My husband and I are becoming experts at finding alternatives for our cravings so glad to help!

Pizza - it's my comfort food and it's never just one piece. Quite frankly, it's not that filling.

I thought I was the only one that felt that way - I have lost 66 lbs, and don't see much of a difference when I look in the mirror. I have to look at old and current pictures to compare them, and have noticed more difference like my sizes changing. Also noticed that this week as I am getting serious about lifting a gained…

You are a great inspiration! Thank you - you look amazing!!

Love making new friends to encourage and share ideas with. Found Mfp in 2009, and totally forgot about it, and was reintroduced in September by a coworker and haven't looked back. If u use it to track ur calories and eat a well rounded diet, and find some exercise u like to do, u can do this!

The more friends/cheer section, the better! Sending u a request.

Wow-u look amazing! Stories like yours go a long way in inspiring others like me. Thank u for sharing!

You look amazing! Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the good work!

Great work! Keep it up! You can definitely see a difference

Nice - bet that feels amazing!

I love my sister, but she was trying to lose weight recently and only eats 800-900 calories a day. Needless to say she got discouraged and hasn't lost anything. No matter how many times I explained it, I even offered to pack her lunches for work a few weeks to get her started, and she refused. The myth of eating nothing…

You look great - you have every right to be proud!

I just finished a five year run with the mirena, had absolutely no problems and love it. Haven't had a period in over 3 years and experienced very little discomfort in the beginning. I also have three kids and do not want any more, and have had one on the pill, and one after I was told that I probably couldn't have…

I wish mine were getting smaller. I went from a 46DD to a 42F cup (a very full F cup at that)! My husband is happy, but I would like them to shrink some as they started so large. But he will love my boobs no matter what size they are, which is comforting.

I have been in a similar boat of not being able to lose the weight after the babies. I have three kids and gained weight with each that I never got rid of. I went through post pardum depression with both baby 1 and three and struggled with it on and off for years. After five months of eating healthy and working out, I feel…
