Amazing! You look great

All of these amazing comments are why I joined MFP. You all are so supportive!

I had to go through some old CD's with pics on them. I wanted to post this for myself as well as others. It shows me I did it once, I can keep doing it. When you are overweight and lose, you will always be a work in progress but you will feel a sense of accomplishment.

Don't be ashamed. It is nice to look at how far you have come.

Jealousy at its finest! Those people have no self control and think you should not either. Keep it up!

I am 5'7". I have a TINY waist with wide hips and thighs. Those have been so hard to slim down.

Thank you everyone!

35

Steak today, pork chops tomorrow, sausage dogs on Thursday. I plan my whole week out.

It is your body, show off your hard work!

Thank you for the responses! I almost felt guilty for eating that apple and then logging it and seeing those sugars.

I will be working on Labor Day... Sticking to a normal diet.

Oh boy... Do not lower your calories. Are you doing the same exercises? Maybe your body is use to what you are doing.

I guess I should have mentioned I was walking for 30 mins a day.

Is that her "sexy" face? I would hate to see her "O" face.

I love meat!! My doctor even tells me to eat lots of red meat because I am severely anemic

When I first started a healthier lifestyle I was 255lbs and stood 5'7". I did not cut any food out the first month instead I limited my portions until I really didn't feel like I needed that extra serving of potatoes or rice. It helped a lot. I lost 15 lbs the 1st month. It was a nice kickstart.

I am on the Swiss Chocolate lean shake, I drink it at lunch. I also take the CLA supplements. 2 before breakfast and 2 before dinner. I started the CLA on Monday August 12 and the shakes on August 15. I am down 6 lbs.

I went from a 38 DD to a 36 C, sometimes I need a D. I am not happy haha. After I reach my goal, I plan on getting them bigger.

I started running a few months ago. I was just like you and could barely run for 2 mins. I am now up to running 2 miles for 25 mins. It is such an accomplishment to me. Everytime I get back and tell my boyfriend how far I ran he tell me great job and he sees me improving. It makes me go harder to prove I can do more.

She may be counting calories and it fit into her allowance. Can't judge a book by its cover.

I use GNC lean shakes. 2 scoops of powder which is 9g of protein and 8 oz of skim milk which is 8g of protein. Keeps me full until the next meal.

Please update in 5 weeks. I am curious to see if you make your goal

Not going to happen. I have lost 5 lbs in one week but I know it will slow after that. Change your goal or you will get discouraged and give up.

Last night I ran 2 miles in 25:40. I would slow to a shuffle when I noticed I started panting to much. But I did it!

Josh Richards, he is a dirt track racer.

fun

New boobs for me too! I lost a lot of mine :(
