When friends walk into my house they ask if I have it staged for selling. Am I moving in or moving out. LOL For several years now I have tried to minimize. Mostly as a gift to my two children so they have less work in case I should take a journey of no return. :) (Sounds better than die!) I also rid myself of toxic people…

I love this post. I went from 213 to 146.5....over two years ago and now I am at 183. I know exactly what happened. I quit logging in. Thanks for your post it is motivating for me to read all the comments.

Your internal organs and especially your heart must be doing a happy dance! Congrats on all the hard work.

I am no longer invisible. Such a shame that obese people are treated different but I know I was treated much differently after a weight loss.

Your internal organs must love you. You have that Susan Saradon look that I envy!

Same here...I increased my water consumption and quit eating after 4:30 pm. Maybe the scales will be friendlier...:)

Compliments and admiration for your hard work.

Your hard work is truly motivational for me. Congrats on your successes. Have fun on the roller coaster!

Your right no "secret" as much as we would like to believe. Compliments on your hard work!

I was serious in my question. I don't eat hamburger or ground beef but do eat other meats.

why eat it at all? Boiling, draining and rinsing....why eat it?

Skipping breakfast...not measuring my portions...forgetting to drink a cup of water before every meal....eating out!

Your post inspired me to get back on track! Thanks!

There will be friends and family who try sabotage your hard work and weight loss. For an example...I am an ice cream addict. People say well just have an ice cream bar....would you tell an alcoholic to just have a shot or little bit? NO...people just don't get it. I lived most of my life thinking a 1/2 gallon was an…

I never realized people included steps to the bathroom, housework and walking around work place in their 10,000 steps. I only count steps totally dedicated to a speed walk. New way of looking at things.

Congrats for all the hard work!

I combine MFP with going to weekly Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) meetings. $32 a year plus very small chapter meetings fits my budget and holds me accountable. Best of luck to you and congrats on so much success.

It's a math game to me. Count calories, exercise to eat more and be honest with your intake portions. I started at 212 in 2011 and have kept off 50 pounds since then. My goal is to be 145.

Be strong! Look him in the eye and shake your head NO! Don't eat fast food! If you were an alcoholic would he offer you a beer..? You might ask him that. It is hard and challenging but you can make choices that are healthy for you.

Absolutely no way until McD's pays their employee's a decent wage. Plus there are so many healthier options out there.

Absolutely the best motivation yet! I have yet to accomplish the skill of posting pictures. :(

Absolutely amazing! Your hard work certainly shows! Add a smile and your get to go!

Love the way you included the details of your journey. I can tell you feel good by the way in that you wrote your post. Best to you on the rest of your life journey.

Dang...what a difference. Way to go...bet your lab tests are remarkable. Congrats on your hard work.

I believe a lot depends on the type of clothes a person wears. As a large person I wore baggy things. So my first 30 pounds was not so noticeable. It was important to me to thrift store shop for clothes that fit on my journey so that I could feel the difference.

Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on your score and fantastic NSV! Value Village/Savers is my friend!

LOOK AT YOU....fantastic! Thanks for writing your motivating story!

Just do it. Your biggest regret will probably be that you waited so long. Looks like you can loose a lot of pounds simply by removing him from your life. You can do this. You deserve better.
