I have been off sweets for 4 weeks, it was easier than I thought, I dont crave them now, who knew? I have also been told I can focus better, seems that way.

Some days you get hungry and if you eat healthy it has got to be good for us! Good job.

some people dont look as good when losing so much weight, but it really looks good on you!

congrats, that is a lot of hard work and you did it.

this is why I weigh daily so 20 lbs dont show up like it did before. I can so relate.

wow that is great!

I am 67, lost 40 lbs, kept it off for past 3 years, yep, some guy told me at church well you wont keep it off, I had to prove him wrong.

you did good but gosh your husband really lost a lot! Good for both of ya, that is a lot of work .

daily works for me for last 2 years, before I woud gain as much as 20 lbs and I didnt weigh regulary so it lets me see where I am at, not burying my head in the sand.

This is so important, I needed help and reached out. So many people in MFP have helped me, some a little harsh but I guess I needed tough love at times!

water weight or not, its good, 10 lbs!

my weight has been down 40 lbs for three years. No one says anything to me any more about losing weight but after I took a picture someone did post something like you have lost weight. Felt good, I said No, just staying about the same.

I was staying so constipated and a lady at the gym told me about how Dr Oz show told her about magnesium. I take one a day and have had no more problem. I get it at Krogers called Nature's Bounty Magnesium 400 mg gel caps. It has a green top. I have had no more problems. I was ready to give up eating low carb also but it…

I have been going 2 lbs up, 2 lbs down, up again. I need to get going good and get weight down so when I vacation in about a month I have some leadway or I will be in big trouble. Trying to get a few lbs down and stay there.

you give me such inspiration! what is my excuse, why can't I get my act together?

wow that is alot of weight, you have done so good. What do you think caused you to gain the weight, emotional, just eating junk food, genes?

I started weighing every day a couple of years ago so twenty pounds can't get away from me like it did before. I am just recognizing now how damaging all that food is to me rather than how good it is.

my husb insisted on going thru Krispy Kreme, free donuts with vaccination card, but I took 2 bites. Glad that place is not near my house! I was eating some unhealthy foods today, cheese nips but ate 1/2 what I use to, 1/2 pc of cake.

what a difference, logging calories, would like not to but it works so I keep doing it. Worth it, keeping the weight off. Gosh you could gain 20 lbs, wish someone would say that to me, someone did tell me you have lost enough now, so stay there, that felt good.

I came on in Feb 2013 and you are right. MFP has helped me keep my weight off. I lost 40 lbs also. 3 years ago I slipped up after a bad flu and gained 25 lbs back but got it off thanks to logging. After that I started weighing daily so 20 lbs could not get away from me.

That was quite a story. You are a very pretty girl. I am glad you got rid of that first man, sounds like this one is very good. Keeping the weight off is simple but not easy. I think we learn to love our self and quit doing all this destructive overeating. And the wrestling, all of it is amazing!

I love this, packman eating the fat. When I get hungry at night I say Burn Baby Burn and I know I am losing weight, reminded me of that!

wow, what a difference especially your face! You look great! I lost 40 lbs also, made a big difference.

I was aggravated with dentist visit and he took 2 days to get back with me and you know what I do when aggravated. Not this time, I said that if I eat it will just give me one more problem so I went to the trail and walked off my frustration. Told myself food will just give me unhappiness! Destroys me.

love these posts, very helpful. I had Hershey choc pie and split it with husb. I try not to deny me stuff because if I do I will just go crazy with it later. We ate fish sand at Burger King and I take my low carb flatbread.

I am 5'4, got down to 156 only one time! Could not stay there so 160-162 is what I can easily maintain. I am happy there, wear sz 10 and 12's and I am not young, 67 years old so that is good for me, I would loved to have weighed less but geez I am going to do some eating! Skinny doesnt look so good the older you get, I…

drink my water keep carbs down throw away extra food that will tempt me no eating after 6pm

went to a church eating thing, buffet style, I ate veggies and meat and 1/2 piece of cake, left the rest of the carby stuff alone. I learned my lesson after last week at Golden Corral, dont go back after sweets, leave bread alone. If you go back for 2nds, let it be veggies. win win

wow that is a good loss. I can drop it if I go off carbs but can't stay on it. But sounds like a good 30 day reboot and get you back on track. Good job!

wow, you look so different. I know carbs seem to make me hungry. I can tell a lot of difference in my appetite when I cut way down on my carbs. I love that saying it is not the weight you lose but the life you gain. Looks like you are gaining a good life! Congrats!
