You look amazing, GREAT job! :)

Just give your body some time, it will let loose of the fat when it's ready. Two weeks is nothing. Focus on consistency, keep doing what you know is right, and the weight will come off.

1. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. 2. Get your backside out of bed. 3. Put on your running shoes. 4. Run. 5. Done. B)

I had a cycling accident in October of last year. sustain a grade 3 right shoulder separation. I was out of work for almost 3 months, and just started to get back on the bike this past month. I also started swimming this month.I did physical therapy for about 2 months after the accident for range of motion, stretching, and…

Outstanding job! You look wonderful!!

Sounds incredible.

Nothing more to say, she nailed it. Great response!

Great job!! :flowerforyou:

Outstanding job! So proud of you! :flowerforyou:

I steam fresh green beans, drizzle with a touch of melter butter, S&P, top with walnuts.

Great job!! I love your new haircut and smile!! :flowerforyou:

You have worked too darn hard to just give up. One of the most difficult things about loosing weight is *learning how to maintain*. Allow yourself some freedoms, but stick to being honest, continue to log everything, and learn how to maintain. And, by God, get out there and do some exercise! Doesn't matter if you "like" it…

WOW! What an incredibly inspirational post....and the pictures were great!! You are stunning! :flowerforyou:

I know you are frustrated....believe me, I've been there. But what you CANNOT do is quit! I kept telling myself, "Just keep doing what you know is right. Healthy foods, counting calories, and moderate exercise." It WILL work. Keep evaluating what you're eating, how you feel, and don't quit!!

Holy mackerel, Sue, YOU LOOK STUNNING! I have been so inspired by your story, and look forward to reading your blog. You are awesome!! Thanks for sharing your success, and showing what you can accomplish when you stop all the excuses. :flowerforyou:

Happy New Year! I reached my 2013 goal of being able to ride for 20 miles. 2014 goal will be to take part in an organized ride and manage a 30-40 mile ride.

So inspirational, thank you for posting!! :drinker:

I didn't like the "new" WW point system......was not loosing weight. Found MFP.....have lost 21# since April. End of story. :wink: The proof is in the numbers!

^^^This! Take this excellent advice, and perhaps you will find you won't ever have to start over again. Best of luck to you! :smile:

Best post I've read on this site. Awesome advice!

So happy for you, Sue! This is wonderful news! Please keep us posted on your recovery!

I'm rather new to strength training. I've been concentrating on my bike rides, but want to start increasing my weight training. Interesting thread for good suggestions.

Reading your posts have been truly inspirational. When I first joined MFP I started reading the success stories.....yours was one that struck a chord with me. I was 52 years old, 188 pounds, and defeated. I read your story and thought, "If she can do it, so can I"! Six months later, I have lost 21 pounds, 2 dress sizes,…

Great post!!

Thank you for saying this.....I was thinking the same thing. :noway:

I would suggest talking to your doc about the stomach cramps and nausea. I really don't think the hypo-t will go away with weight loss. However, weight loss is possible. I've been hypo-t for about 18 years now. You have to give your body a chance to adjust. Just keep eating healthy, get good exercise, and you will be okay.…
