Wow! Good for you!

Happy graduation, or independence day! :D You've come a long way, I hope you feel every bit as proud of yourself as you have a right to be. Fantastic work!

Congratulations, you're doing great!!

Hahaha, I'm glad messing around with poses and camera angles was worth it ;) Thank you all for your words, they're very encouraging!

AMAZING change! Great job!

Hawaii - I'm so jealous! Great job on the weight loss, you look good!

Amazing! I love this!

Wow! Nice work!

Looking good! Great job!

Yay! Awesome!

Thank you all for your encouragement, you're very kind! I see so many inspiring stories on these forums, it's nice to be able to add one of my own :)

Thank you, I certainly hope so! :)

This is interesting, as it matches my own experiences... Off to google resistant starches myself, now :) thanks for giving me something to think about!

YES! I sometimes feel as if I'm the only person watching that show. Urban fantasy is the best fantasy in my book!

Man I love MFP and the sensible people who use it ;) it's so nice to read everyone's ideas about being healthier and stronger as opposed to the absolute skinniest weight possible! I am 5'9 and my goal weight is 155, but I admit to being curious about what I would look like now at 150. I have no idea at what weight my body…

I understand enthusiasm and wanting to do it all at once, and yeah, getting quick results is a little addictive. But it's easy to push yourself to…

If you're shrinking, you've definitely not plateaued! I'd care much more about the way my pants fit than about the number on the scale, so keep doing what you're doing, you're on the right path! :)

I started out at 1200 calories too. Lost weight very fast the first month or so, and then stalled. Spending more time on the forums made me realize I wasn't eating enough, especially since I wasn't eating my exercise calories back. I hadn't been hungry, either, but I did realize I had been feeling less energetic and also…

Very impressive! Go you!

Wow! You look so good! And it sounds like you have it figured out this time - you will definitely get there!

Very nice! Well done!

You should be so proud of yourself, great job!

I had the same problem when I first got started! Tried looking for remedies or even similar experiences everywhere, and all I ever found was how a healthy diet and exercise should improve your sleep, not mess with it. Unless you're not eating enough and it's hunger keeping you up, it might go away on its own. Took between…
