Very nice words and wonderful transformation! Thanks for sharing!!!

Glad you have managed to pick yourself up and kept going over the past year! Congratulations on your weight loss. You are a strong person!

I have a strange place I lose weight first too apparently! My neck! I felt like my necklace had been getting tighter before I joined MFP. Then lately it felt more loose, so just to be sure I wasn't crazy I measured my neck and I had lost an inch! No where else, just my neck... so weird! But I'll take it!

I am very sorry I misunderstood your post. Good luck on your journey!

My husband and I have separate finances and we are similar A) makes $59k and B) makes $25k...... My husband never throws it in my face that he pays the rent which is $900 a month.... That's the part of the original post that worries me. We are just fine with separate finances but if anything I feel bad that I can't…

Congrats! I really should figure out at what weight I am no longer obese??!!?!?!?!

Hmmmm, is it OK to judge others based on their weight? (No should be the answer here) So why is it ok to hate yourself because of your weight? Do I sometimes feel uncomfortable around others and get upset when I have outgrown clothes? Yes. Do I hate myself and think I am gross and disgusting? NO!!!! You guys have to work…

Thanks to everyone for sharing stories and pictures!!! All these success stories keep me motivated every night! Before I joined MFP I felt like the only people that could lose 100 lbs in a year were on shows like The Biggest Loser but now I realize that anyone can do it with a little hard work and perseverance! Thanks so…

That is amazing! Congratulations!

So detailed! Love it!! Congrats on everything, marriage, weight loss, SURVIVING!! Welcome to the US a little early. Hope you like it here. Thank you for sharing your story and your accomplishments!

Great job! That's a crazy change!

Thanks for this, it is really helpful!!!

Thank you so much for sharing. This gives me an idea of what my transformation might look like! : ) Great motivation!

Good job. When there is a drastic change in caloric intake and added movement the pounds can just melt right off. Keep it up!

Great job and great symbolism!

Been there, totally know what you are talking about! Can't wait for this NSV and about a dozen others that I will probably not be brave enough to post but will do the OMG that's so awesome cheer and dance when it happens!

I've always had disproportionate boobs for my size like size B's on a size D frame. So unfair! I got all this extra fat and none in the boobs! Anyhow, I think mine may shrink but as I lose weight they'll look larger because my tummy won't stick out past my boobs! But if that isn't the case I think if I lose all 157 lbs…

lol me too! Great job!

Brag it up!!!

What an awesome post!!!! Congratulations to you and your family!!! So, so awesome, brought a happy tear to my eye. Thanks for the share!

I've only lost a chihuahua but I'm aiming for the complete oxford dictionary!

Can't wait for under 300!!! 280 will be a big one for me too as that will be an exact 100 to lose! Congratulations!!!

Nice job. I keep wondering what my body will look like when I lose, how much loose skin I'll have... Your arms look awesome! and tummy too! I hope I can have similar effects although I am heavier than you. Anyhow, great job!

That's so awesome, and kudos to your husband for being supportive! I hope mine wants to buy me new jeans when the old ones get baggy : )

Congrats!!!

Great job!!! Love your grit!

People are always telling me I've lost weight, even when I've gained. I don't know if they just wish I would lose weight so it's like wishful thinking on their part or if my weight fluctuates so much it makes me look different all the time. OR could be the clothes I wear. Weird. I think sometimes people don't say anything…

That's funny! What a pleasant but strange surprise! : D

Love your month by month pics! Good job and great documentation!

Do it by percentage lost like they do on the biggest loser. We did this at my work a long time ago and it was a great motivator!
