Thank you for such an inspiring story. You look great and the motivation you had to have had to lose 185 pounds must have been incredible. I will definitely remember you when the journey gets difficult. Thank you!

Wow, you are amazing. You look awesome! I'm trying to get some replies so I can show my son who needs to be motivated to lose. He's been ill for 6 years and gained a lot of weight. Some from depression and some from all the medication he has to take. He doesn't get on the computer much so I will print everything out for…

What an amazing story and what an amazing transformation!!! Congratulations! I just read your post to my son and showed him your pictures. He has been heavy most of his life and your story sounds a little like his. He is over 450# and has tried to lose a few times but always gains it back. The last time he lost 50# and…

i know people who have lost with her videos. Her constant talking annoys me so I turn the sound off.

Wow....you look terrific. You should be so proud of yourself and I hope you stick around here and keep motivating us with your great pictures and words of wisdom. I've been a yo-yo dieter in the past and have reached for food as my comfort when things get tough as most overweight people do. I have lost 20 pounds so far and…

You are a miracle. The motivation you had to accomplish losing that much weight had to be incredible. How did you keep your motivation up? My son is over 400 pounds. I'm so concerned that he will die young if he doesn't lose the weight. He did lose about 60 pounds then got depressed when he hit a plateau, then gained it…

Hello: I just found this thread and have been reading the posts. You all seem so motivated and kind to each other. Is it okay if I hang around and get to know you? I want to lose 85-95 pounds. Linda :flowerforyou:

You're as cute as a speckled puppy in a red wagon!!! Congratulations!:flowerforyou:

You must be so proud of yourself. You look amazing. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Thank you for taking the time to break down your amazing journey. It has inspired me to keep going to reach my goal. I'm sure your students see the difference in you and I wondered if they have made any changes in their lifestyle after seeing what healthy eating and exercise can do for them. Good luck to you in your…

You're beautiful in both photos but I can sure tell you've lost a lot of weight. I enjoyed reading how you changed your eating habits and exercise gradually. It seems like you gained a lot of energy as you were losing and started focusing more on your body than on the food you used to eat. I have about the same amount of…

You are a handsome man. You did it and should be very proud!

Hello I have a hypo thryroid problem and take 200 mcg a day. I have struggled with my weight after being sick with Hashimoto's disease about 15 years ago. I work in a stressful job situation and have had trouble losing weight and thought it may be from the situation I'm in. I lost 20 pounds on a low carb, low sugar diet…

You look amazing! Congrats!!

Wonderful progress. Sorry that you lost your mother. She would be proud of you I'm sure.

Funny!

MFP told me to eat 1200 calories. Someone told me to go back and change the amount to 1 pound I want to lose weekly. The reason is MFP thinks 2 pounds a week is too much to lose each week. When you put in two pounds it will warn you that it's too much. So, I changed it to 1 pound and it changed my calories from 1200 to…

You may not be eating enough calories and your body thinks you're starving. When you increase your calories you may gain for a few weeks and then once your body adjusts to the additional calories you will begin losing. I think someone posted a site to figure calories. See if you're eating the proper amount of calories and…

Hi Sarah I'm 62 and haven't lost much but post regularly. You can friend me if you'd like to. This is a great site and I've made some wonderful friends. Good luck to you!

I was told when I set up my calories on MFP to only say that I wanted to lose one pound a week instead of two pounds a week because MFP doesn't calculate the calories correctly when you put in two because the calories are too low. (I was eating 1200 calories but couldn't lose weight and was blaming it on my thyroid…

Very handsome....and pretty little baby....great father?

When I used to use the treadmill I had to hold on because the motion made me feel dizzy because of an inner ear problem and for safety reasons I held on. Now, I walk outside and enjoy the world instead of being stuck in a room on a machine.

Very well put.....my sentiments exactly.

You're doing wonderful. Keep taking it one day at a time because all you have is time. If you didn't do anything you would be the same as you were. So, you are making terrific progress. I'm sure your body thanks you. Fifty pounds is a lot. The next time you go to the grocery store try picking up a 50 pound bag of dog food…

I read your blog.....what a story. Congratulations for the weight loss and overcoming the issues you faced.

I'm sorry to hear that your husband passed away. It must have been horrible for you and your son to go through. Your transformation is incredible and your strength to make the change must have taken a lot of courage. Best of luck to you.

You don't even look like the same person....amazing!
