Incredible!! Great job and thanks for posting.

Wow!! What a great way to measure your success because photo's don't lie. Great motivation for everyone to see how much 12# can change a body. Thank you for posting and good luck! -Lizzybluts

I have been vegan for about 6 months. At first I was "mostly" vegan because I couldn't give up cheese and yogurt. But, after reading The China Study and lots and lots of other material, I couldn't ignore how bad dairy is for me and I am now 100% vegan. It's actually easier than I thought it would be. The grocery stores are…

It's amazing how our minds can trick us into believing something we know can't possibly be true. After my 3rd baby (33 years ago) I lost 100# and wore a size 2 (small for a 5'7" frame) The following month after reaching my goal weight, I signed up for a workshop on losing weight! I felt like I fit in with all the other…

I think your 4 rules are very inspiring, especially #4. I remember reading a few years ago the same thing, it actually boosts your metabolism if you over eat one day a week. That may just be the answer I am looking for. If I knew I could have something that I really wanted on Sunday, it wouldn't be so hard to say no to it…

OMG!! You look like a different person! Thank you for posting this, I really needed it today. It's unbelievable how extra weight changes our appearance and makes us look so much older. You look incredible. Congratulations! :flowerforyou: - Lizzybluts

I went out and bought the Zumba Fitness game today for the XBox Kinect. I am so excited to try it because I love to dance. I think it might be a fun change from the Biggest Loser DVD that I started last week. Can't wait to find out how everyone liked it after trying it.

Well said Rymatt's mom! We need to learn how our body communicates what it needs to us. If you are hungry, and you can tell if it is true hunger or "mouth hunger" when you want to eat just to eat, it's important not to ignore those signals. I don't think naturally thin people ignore the growlings of their stomach and don't…

Territbo, Congrats on joining, I am new here too. I think this site is going to give us the support and encouragement needed to get rid of those pounds that seem to just "appear overnight"! Good luck! :smile:

Amanda, it is so sad to hear the thoughts that still run lose in your mind, even after all the success you have had. But, I get it. I remember a time when I was in a size 2 and attended a weight loss seminar because I thought I was still obese (I had lost 100# after the birth of my third child). My mind did not match the…

I'm new to MFP, joining just yesterday and SO excited to find this blog. I am 59 years old and it is a whole different challenge losing weight when you turn 50. Your reviews are all so inspiring! I am amazed at the success you have all had. Motivation and support is so important, I would love to join all of you on this…

Going to bed hungry isn't the problem, though I don't think it's a good idea if you are below your calories. As a manager of a very successful weight loss center for over 7 years (5 yrs ago) the hardest belief to change was our mindset that if we take in LESS calories than we will lose MORE weight and that is just not…

Don't do it! Sometimes it takes more than a day for our body to catch up to the calories burned. What an accomplishment! The scale is so fickle, wait a bit and I bet you will start to feel it in your body the weight that is disappearing.

:flowerforyou: Thank C. It is difficult for people to understand sometimes the effect chronic pain has on our body but even worse, our mental state. Everything that use to be simple becomes a challenge. I have that same problem with the bright lights but found the screen didn't bother me. I miss walking my dogs. I lost 40#…

Thanks, Lori. You are going to LOVE it!! YOU are the inspiration having lost 32 lbs. I'm excited to have found this site and just downloaded the app on my iphone. Great to have support when trying to make changes in your life.

Thank all of you for posting this blog!! I was undecided if I should spend the money on an Xbox and Kinect but after reading all of your posts, I went out and got one yesterday. To my surprise, it was so easy to hook up. I found myself trying it out and exercising at 1 AM! The game that came with it was so much fun, it did…
