Here are my before and after pics. The one on the right was taken a few weeks ago. I am 40 years old and lost over 40lbs.

I think perhaps you were too quick to judge. One never knows what is going on in someone's life. Maybe someone is ill at home, maybe she was diagnosed with a terrible illness. Is she dealing with a hardship like job loss, parental illness, mental illness, trouble with children? The possibilities are never ending. I think…

Super job! You look great! I know you've worked very hard for this and it's paying off!

Those legs look great!!!

I am 5 ft 10', 40 years old, and I've lost about 40 lbs over the last 6 1/2 months. This one was taken about 3 weeks ago.

Yes I definitely can see a difference! Fantastic! You look great!

Yum! It's a definite bump!

I am a 40 year old mom of 2 boys, ages 8 and 11. I have reached my goal of losing 40lbs and just recently started maintenance. I don't really have any brilliant ideas as to how I lost the weight. Just 2 main things, counting calories and exercise. And patience. I Good luck with your journey, you'll do great!:smile:

I read your profile as well, and we have a lot in common, including that insatiable appetite after coming home from a busy day at work. For me, I have to eat small amounts throughout the day before I get to that point of no return mode. Even if I don't feel that hungry, I will have a small snack as I know in an hour I will…

I use this website. http://www.calculator.net/army-body-fat-calculator.html

You look great! Super job!

So happy you found the site! I agree, it's great! Welcome!

I think you should bank on losing 5 lbs in a month. Any more bonus!

That makes me so angry! Some people are incredibly mean and heartless. You do not deserve that! I'm sure you've heard what I am about to type, and however hard it is to live by, you need to. It's not what people say to you that is upsetting you, it's how you react. Make the decision to not to let it bother you. You have to…

You look great! Awesome job!

It's sunny and warm in Calgary, Canada. It's 5:05pm and I just finished preparing supper. It's 24' C right now. It's been a lovely day!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

You look great! I know how hard you've worked and you should feel very proud of yourself!

I am 5'10", 159.6lbs, size 10, or 8 sometimes.

Smurfs...in my pants!

You look great! Super job!

Wow! You really hit a nerve with this post! The bottom line is we all don't like to be judged because our primal desire is to be accepted. We are very social creatures. Being judged puts up our defences pushing ourselves to ask, "What is wrong with me? Why don't you like me?" Unfortunately being overweight is an easy…

Most definitely! I like all the Jillian Michaels, dvds but I also just go to my local library and take a variety out. I had a friend who did P90X and she had phenomenal results.

I was like that when I was quite a bit younger. For me what helped (and this was about 6 years ago) was joining a program. I joined weight watchers. It was nice to have a support group that I could go to each week. I learned a lot too about food. Don't get me wrong, I love MFP and although WW worked and I attained Life…

Typhoon it is! Thanks everyone!

You look great! Good for you!

Thanks everyone! I have 2 boys and I am sure we will all have a most wonderful, memorable experience that we can look back on in the years to come!

A nice bra from Victoria Secrets and an expensive pair of jeans.

Thanks for all the lovely compliments! I have almost completed Couch 2 5K - one more run. Nine weeks of running has definitely helped with my weight loss.
