It looks like somebody needs some new jeans, you look great!

You look great keep up the great work. Looks like you have some great friends, too.

Great job, you look awesome and I love that smile.

I'm so happy reading this, the best way to honour loved ones we've lost is to live the best life we can.

Yeah, I have quite the tummy flap and it hangs really low. As I lose weight it sticks out less but still hangs just as low. In clothes, like many have said, I feel fine. But I still find my eyes constantly drawn to my mid section. I also hate the way it feels when I am exercising, flapping against my thighs. It doesn't…

I'll admit at my largest I felt little motivation to get out of my giant night gown and if I was home I would wear it all day and shamefully even admit to wearing it to stop my daughter off at school. I still have this nightgown, now a tent, and the last few days I have been off work I found myself slipping back into…

I found the overall tone of the initial post to be quite confrontational, like having a finger wagged in my face. I think lifting is important, yet I fully admit to being a cardio bunny and run 5-6 days a week. I find running clears my head and I really enjoy it. I eat a well balanced diet and drink my water. So far, this…

No offense taken, when I look back at my old pictures I do not think I realzed how much older I looked and I used to be worried that people would notice my greys and really my grey hairs were the least of my worries. I think too as we lose weight we stand taller and smile more, both of which make us look so much younger.…

I love oatmeal, one of my favourite is apple pie: steel cut oat, shredded granny smith apple, real maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, skim milk (I don't usually add because I like it thick). It takes longer but it is so worth it.

Hands downs, Sweet Almond Tea, it is a Rooibos loose tea. It is so yummy. Funny thing last year I had all these group projects for University but I was the one who lived the furthest out of town but I was the only one with a kid. I would bribe my peers to come to my house and they would always ask, "Will there be some of…

I've lost 106lbs since March 2012. Highest weight 280lbs (picture I'm about 270lbs) and current weight 173lbs (taken a few days ago in the black outfit). I have about 40-45 more pounds I would like to lose to be in the normal healthy BMI range.

Hummus smeared on any sort of vegetable and cinnamon/chili pumpkin seeds.

Great job and a tory to go along with it. You are going to make a beautiful bride!

That is so great and look at how tiny your waist is.

That is great and it is always surprising how much you have changed when you do the comparison pictures.

Oh my, that is amazing to run that fast after such a short amount of training. AWESOME!

I've lost 106lbs and the girls just seem to be getting bigger in comparison to my shrinking waist. I wish they would get smaller but I've been chesty since about grade 6. But I notice now that I am exercising alot more they are becoming quite a nusiance. Once you get into the HH and higher range, no sports bra can defy…

What a transformation, you look fantastic! Oh, and I love the animal hat in your profile picture!

What a transformation, you look great!

You look grrrrrreat (tony the tiger says so) and I love the dress!

Ohhhh, i love tea but only drink loose teas. My favourite is Sweet Almond followed closely by Spring Cherry Blossom and Vanilla Early Grey,

Vancouver Island

I think you must have one of the nicest smiles I've seen, even your eyes smile!

Spinach is like my "BAM" and I throw a few handfuls into everything. I do not have a microwave so I warm my soup up on the stove and I add my spinach when I am reheating it and it tastes much better then throwing it in when I am first cooking the soup and does not become slimy sitting in the soup for a few days in my…

You look awesome, great work!

Ohhhhh, I know how you feel, I love my cheese too. Instead of giving it up completely I chose the to only have my favourite kind, which happens to be feta. I have a little bit each day and it helps satisfy my cheese craving and also gives a little salty tang to my soup or salad. And now when I eat out, having even a little…

I remember how exciting it was to see the scale dip below 200 for the first time, I was on a high for the whole week. Great job!

That's a great friend you have and that sort of support in so important. You look great!

Now those are some abs, great job!

You can totally see the difference, nut I think you nailed it, it's feeling how different your body performs that is the best indicator of your achievment! Great job!
