Thank you :) it took me from December until June, since June I've been mainly focused on maintaining but I've lost 7 or so lbs since June without really trying!

Pictures aren't showing up properly 'cause they're too big..sorry guys! If you save them you should be able to see..not sure how else I'm able to show you them :(

Bump..

6" toasted wheat Subway Melt... yummy! Ham, turkey, chicken, bacon and cheese. I have it with bbq sauce and usually a packet of chilli doritos. Back in my early days of losing weight, this would be my treat meal once a week!

Started at 200, currently 157, aiming for 145.

I have around 10 more to lose too. Sooooo hard to get it off now :(

I loooove a good cardio session! Makes you feel so good afterwards. I've not done any strength yet, going to just focus on the cardio until I reach my goal weight.. almost there!

Remember, you don't always have to eat healthily. A sudden calorie increase may seem bad but it'll give your metabolism a kick and actually help you lose the weight faster. I personally treated myself when I was out for a meal with friends and I've lost 42lbs since the beginning of December!

Yes and I'm absolutely sick of it. I've lost 42lbs in the last few months and at first i got complimented etc but still, even when my BMI was still classed as 'overweight' people would tell me I'm getting too skinny. It's ridiculous. I am slim now i know but there's a difference between being slim and skinny. I actually…

I've just read all your comments & posts, thank you all so much!! It means so much to me to be referred to as an inspiration :) I couldn't have done it all without all the motivation on here, MFP - I am not worthy!

Sticking to my calorie limits on MFP and a LOT of intense cardio! Working out 5/6 days a week mostly. Elliptical & treadmill since I have both of those at home & I also attended some street dancing classes. I didn't eat that much healthier - I eat a lot more fruit than usual and cut down on bad carbs, but I still had…

I started at 200lbs. My original goal was 145 and I'm currently 157. I'm happy as I am now, really happy. I still want to lose a little more but I don't think I want to go as low as 145. Just keep going until you're happy :)

I'm around 5"10-5"11, yes :) thank you! & thank you to everyone else also :)

I like to change it up :) some of my choices include: 30g Cheerios with 125ml skimmed milk (170 cals) 30g Cornflakes with 125ml skimmed milk (150 cals ish?) 2pcs wholemeal toast with 1 scrambled egg (210 cals) An apple with an alpen light cereal bar (130 cals) It really ranges from day to day depending on my mood, if I'm…

CW/BMI: 159 - 22.5 GW: 150 - 21.2

I agree with both of you.. the first 15lbs literally dropped off me within about 3 weeks! If only i could lose like that now :( I'm still doing the same as I used to. I guess my body is just "used" to my routine now. I may just maintain for a few weeks then start again, I'm not unhappy with how i look at all right now…

I was exactly the same as you. I used to have the biggest double chin ever and I was so self conscious about it. I HATED having my picture taken, I was constantly looking in the mirror to see how it looked and would always just be generally uncomfortable about it. Now, 35 lbs down (28 since joining MFP) it's GONE! Well,…

I have a question to ask about starvation mode because I'm starting to think my current plateau is to do with it... I started MFP in January and am down quite a bit already (as you can see from my counter!). My goal cals to begin with were 1,650 but obviously as I've lost more they've gone down and are now 1,400. I eat…

Give up and those 8lbs will be back with you by this time next week. Quitters never win. I've had many days like you. I've wanted to give up so bad, but just knowing how hard I've worked to get the weight off that I have done so far and seeing other peoples progress on here has just motivated me to keep going. I'm…

I was thinking perhaps the calories on my elliptical machine aren't correct - for example, in a minute on the elliptical on level 14 (the highest level) I can burn around 15 calories, however on the treadmill, I burn around 6-7 calories a minute.. despite it feeling like a LOT more effort. Hmm. Thanks for all your…

To everyone suggesting I have a high calorie day, the thought of going over 1,400 scares me :( I'm terrified of gaining the weight back, I've been trying so hard to get it all off. I feel so trapped! :(

Definitely a noticeable difference there, well done!

Thank you very much to everyone for the lovely, motivating comments! It means a lot! :)

Every Friday morning after I pee and before breakfast!

I'm in! CW - 165 GW (1st April) - 155 GW (Overall) - 150

Amazing! You're doing great :)

Okay I finally have the pics sorted! Thank you everyone :)

I'm so stupid! How do you post pictures on here people?! Which code do you use? And to think I have a qualification in computing! :O

An all you can eat buffet at this Chinese place near my house. SO GOOD! I haven't been there in months...

I don't understand why some people on this site get so caught up and annoyed with people who don't eat all of their allowed calories. Claiming that people who don't eat them all back are just "starving themselves to fit into a smaller pair of jeans" is absolutely ridiculous. I am certainly NOT starving myself by any means.…
