I like your challenge ideas. I don't think we should do the weight challenge tho, because two people can do the same thing and lose the fat/weight differently. One person will drop 3 to 4 pounds a week, while another only drops less than half a pound, etc..

The highest weight I have been thus far in my life is 262... As of Sept 2012, when i was tired of making excuses, I was at 238 As of Dec 1st, right around the time I started on MFP, i was at 213 First major goal, 180 (ooh this is actually going to happen...#excited!) I can see my natural body shape/figue, so I'm guessing,…

All I can say is ...WOW!!! You know you did that!!!! :-)

- if you know you will feel guilty after eating a particular thing, don't eat it. Save you and your spouse the headache. - if you do decide to indulge, then shut up and enjoy it :-) *disclaimer - I don't say that to be mean, it's half joking. I'm the same way (and I tell myself the same above) so know you are not alone.

And like the other commenters have said, you diary has to be viewable to give a good assessment.

This ^^^

I see where you are coming from. And ya know, he couild be so darn insecure within himself and he knows his co-workers run their mouths, that he doesn't want to have to become vulnerable. But only he knows. As far you, i don't know, keep going...find some confidence. Because whether he is insecure or ashamed, you have got…

I agree with this. And the other lady who said that only you know what is going on with you and your personal experiences. But you have to ask your husband what is up. Don't assume. And hoping that he will tell you the truth, then you can work on whatever voids there have been.

Yes, get a scale. Like someone else said, a digital one. And like everyone else said, get the tape measure because both will come in handy. My personal advice: Don't weight yourself everyday. Once a week or bi-weekly will be sufficient.

Hello, My name is Stefanie, 29 years old. As of 12/1/12, the scale read 213 pounds when I stepped on it; I have dropped 25 unhealthy pounds since sept 2012 and I am about 10 days new to mfp. My goal is to be at or under 200 pounds by 1/1/13. I may post before pics from sept, nov, and jan by 1/1/13.

I have a friend in this situation, and she's 28 years old! Reading someone else's story, I know that it's real. I mean, she can go out, but she will get an earful from her aunt when she gets back. My friend only has a car b/c her aunt got it for her (my friend pays over $700./mo for it) to make sure she can get to work so…

Glad this post was made. I plan to drop about 75-100 pounds of fat, and I carry a lot in the middle. But I know it will go down, so I'm excited. But I haven't had a 'flat' stomach since I was 6 or 7 years old....hold on...I've never really had a flat tummy! LOL. With that said, I'm excited, and I know I have work to put…

I agree, it looks like more than 47 pounds off....either way..congrats on the change...

I want to keep things interesting and I like this idea...I will try it for one of my breakfasts :-)

My goodness! God is good!! Beautiful transformation and Congrats to you for the hard work

I have a cousin who used to be like that. He has calmed down but yeah, being TOO close cousins is possible.

Seeing you gets me excited that I will get there. Congrats on the change.

I will do it. Tell me what I need to do.

Wow! You are like a brand new person!
