You look wonderful! There is such a difference in each pic! Thanks for sharing your awesome progress!!!! :)

Your smile in the last pic says it all! What an incredible transformation! So fab!!!

Excellent "how-to" list! Fabulous job! You have done so well! :)

My hubby also is noticing and appreciating the fact that there is less of me. He daily makes comments about how proud he is of me and is constantly trying to seduce me. :)

I have been thinking about this same issue…I have lost 49 pounds and am able to slide off every pair of jeans and pants that I own without unbuttoning them. My winter coat is 3 sizes too big, as well. However, I have 30 more pounds to lose and will probably hold off a bit longer so that I don't end up with clothes that are…

My heart aches for you. What the he**? Your family should be encouraging you…not saying things that will defeat your resolve. Get on here and add me and a few others who will support your efforts. Usually weight loss is not noticed at first…It is a slow process, but it is the little day by day changes that we make that…

I believe that today is the end of our 3 month challenge…at least that is what my calendar says…LOL! I am at my goal of 185 lbs. I was a little bit lighter a week and a half ago…but I am happy to be at this weight. How is everyone else doing? :)

My sister does Paleo and she has a husband and 4 boys who don't eat this way. Hardboiled eggs, avocado, almonds, chicken breast, fish, greens, cauliflower, broccoli make up much of her daily menus. She makes dinner for her family and eats her way. The foods on the Paleo diet are simple to make….I am confused as to why you…

I have lost 43 pounds from walking M-F at a brisk pace 4mph to 4.5 mph. I also watch what I eat. You CAN lose weight walking and eating sensibly. :)

Challenge Starting Weight: 205 Current Weight: 183 Nov. 7th Goal Weight: 185 I am pleased to say that I have already made my goal! :)

CW: 185 GW: I can't remember what we said was the end date…but I hope to be at 180 by Nov. 2nd Things are going well with 5:2. This week, I reached the 40 pounds loss mark! So…I am halfway to goal!!!! :blushing:

Oct 2 -- 187 lbs… I am ahead of my goal weight! :happy:

What a stellar transformation! When I was looking at your first pic, I glanced at your profile pic and thought, "Oh, I wonder what movie star or celebrity she has posted there." Then, when I got to the last pic, realized that the celebrity was YOU! Amazing!:happy:

You look completely different now! Wow! Super perseverance and amazing results!!!

Woo - hoo! You've made such incredible progress, Sticks!!!! Congratulations! :smile:

Things are going very well for me. I am now at 193 lbs. Ahead of my goal. I attribute it to keeping under my TDEE, logging my food faithfully and making sure that I exercise M - F for an hour. Looking forward to the next few pounds gone!

What an amazing difference! You rock!

You absolutely are revealing in the positive side of a great weight loss! Enjoy every minute of it. You deserve it!:glasses:

^^^This woman's journey has been incredible. She is a role model for many of us who are doing 5:2. My story: Started 5:2 in late June of this year. I am in my late 40's and have hypothyroidism. Nothing I've tried has moved the scale downward in the last five years…until I started 5:2. --- I fast two days a week. My…

Since last week, I have lost one more pound. I fasted only one day and need to get one in tomorrow. Hoping for another pound to leave soon! By the way…what is the actual ending date of this 3 month challenge? I thought it was November, but I have seen that others are thinking it is October. Have a great week everyone!…

This idea might help: I had to start exercising inside at a gym because of work. I have a friend in another city who I text in the morning when I am leaving for my workout. (She also texts me back.) It is kind of our "get out of bed" text…cause "I am on my way to the gym. So far, (3 weeks) this has been very helpful for…

Just an update… I have tried to continue to fast like described above and have continued to have success with it. Since I started fasting in late June, I have lost 29 pounds! However, sometimes when I get to the end of the second day, I eat around 1000 calories. (Mind you, this is after 48 hours and I am very heavy…I weigh…

I am a teacher, too. I am here to offer support!! Like you, I do very well with my exercising and healthy eating in the summer, but once school starts, I struggle to fit exercise in…and then that leads to unhealthy food choices. This year, I told myself, "You are going to put yourself first." I found a friend to text me in…

Great job on hitting that 179 mark! --- I so want to be where you are at in a month or two!!! You are an inspiration to me!!! :)

Butter for me! Margarine is crap!

It's our family's favorite! Templeton Rye refers to rye whiskey originally made in Templeton, Iowa during the prohibition era as a way for farmers in the Carroll County area to supplement their income.[1] Amber in color, it was considered to be of particularly high quality and was popular in Chicago, Omaha, and Kansas City…
