Yes, definitely! I know what you mean, though . . . I previously lost 47 pounds before joining MFP, and I look in the mirror and don't see much difference, but everyone tells me how much weight I have lost! You see yourself every day, so it is difficult to see it. So, you are doing awesome, and it definitely shows in your…

Congratulations! You look terrific! I can't believe you still want to lose 26 pounds when you look so amazing! You go girl!!!!

I am 5' 9", 212 pounds, and wear a 16W (not a regular 16, but a 16 WIDE!!!!) I would be completely happy to wear a regular size 12 some day! My goal weight is 170.

That is a tough situation, and I am sorry you are going through this. Too many things are wrapped up in your trainer and this gym. Since you have had such a tough time the last four months, it is time to make a change. Find a new trainer and if your personal relationship with your "old" trainer was meant to be, it will…

My husband claims I made him fat, and all I know is that each one of us is solely responsible for what he/she puts in his/her mouth! It is a cop-out excuse!

A physical therapist told me to do "sitting marches" in my chair. It actually works your abs a little. Sit in your chair, both feet flat on the floor. Hold in your stomach muscles and sit up straight. Raise up your right foot up about 6" off the floor and hold for 3 seconds, and put it down on the ground. Raise your left…

Keep one pair as a reminder of how far you have come - but make sure they are no longer "wearable" so that you are not even tempted to go back to that size ever again! (Like, make a hole in them somewhere!) Great job!

Doing this will not help you in the long run. You need to learn to eat right and make it part of your lifestyle so that you can get the weight off and keep it off.

Hi! I am 51, and I definitely get the over 50-thing! Each decade brings harder challenges to lose the weight and keep it off. Since May I have dropped 47 pounds, but I have 42 more to go, and I haven't budged in weeks - despite doing what I am supposed to be doing. It is tough to hang in there through those times - but…

Start today! Don't wait! It is a life journey! Why wait four more days to take control and start feeling better?

OMG!! I have always been the biggest girl! I have been large since first grade! Shopped in the "Husky" department!! I am tall and heavy, so I always stand out. I do have a larger frame (no - really!!! LOL!!!), so I don't have any delusions about being "small" and that is why I set my goal weight to 170 instead of some…

Thanks so much for sharing! You are truly an inspiration! You look great! Good luck in reaching your goal!

Any time I am trying to lose weight or be healthier, I try not to advertise it and make a big deal about it. That way, you quietly go about your business and then when you are down 20 or 30 pounds, someone will likely say to you - oh, you have lost weight and you look great! I enjoy that rather than everyone *****footing…

Hi! I have lost 47 pounds since May 7, 2012, and I just joined MFP on January 3rd so I can track the rest of my weight loss (I have 42 more pounds to go!). I look in the mirror and don't see myself any different either! But, I concentrate on what others tell me because others see me and see my results more than I do. It is…
