You look great!

I am 47. I started using MFP almost one year ago. It took me three weeks to lose one pound. I too was discouraged! The advice given to me at the time was, "keep on going". I did and that was 30 pounds ago! I met my goal weight in about 6 months. It is so worth it. Be very diligent about logging everything that you eat and…

Awesome! You look great! You should be so proud!

You are doing great! Looking good! Can't wait to see future pic.s!

So proud of you! It's a great feeling, isn't it? Glad to be sharing the journey with you.

I agree ^. It looks like more than 10 pounds. You look great!

You look awesome!

You look great! Keep up the good work!

Wow! I was really surprised when I scrolled down and saw the "now" pic.s. You look amazing!

Just keep doing what you're doing. Sounds like you've done great so far! Drink lots of water! You'll see 160 : )

I agree with everyone that is saying weigh/measure everything you put in your mouth. Drink lots of water! It did take me 3 weeks to lose one pound. It was discouraging but I didn't give up and I met my goal. You can do this!

You look terrific!

Let me know if you get an answer. I've asked the same of my saddle bags. They ignore me but every now and then I think I hear them laughing........

It took me 3 weeks to see the scale move one pound. I did not measure (wish that I would have). I felt discouraged but I physically felt so much better from working out and eating better. My daughter took out a pound of sugar and handed it to me. She said, "It's that much less you're carrying around every day." That was…

Dinner is my biggest meal and I snack until bed time. Met my goal weight that way and have been successfully in maintenance for months doing the same thing.

I am 46 and met my goal weight using MFP. I had never tried to seriously lose weight before. Age and the weight just seemed to sneak up on me. I followed the guidelines and it was easy! Support from MFP friends is so helpful! The way you feel in the end is priceless! Good luck! You can do this!

I went into maintenance when I hit my goal weight. I used MFP maintenance guidelines and ended up 7 pounds under my goal weight. I'm happy at this weight and have been maintaining for about 4 months now. So i think MFP guidelines are a bit low but it worked out for me. You'll know when you get where you need to be. It's…

Welcome! I am 46. I have been logging since June of last year. I had 25 pounds to lose. Using MFP guidelines, I reached my goal in four months and have been maintaining since then. Great tool and a great group of people! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I think that is a great start. It took me 3 weeks to lose my first pound. I stuck with it and hit my goal weight. You can do this! Don't get discouraged. Good things come slow : )

I am always way over my protein. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, chicken and a gluten free protein bar every day.

Good for you! Doesn't it feel oh so good! ?

Like you, I started with about 20 pounds to lose. I did everything right and the first time I saw a loss was week three. It was only one pound! I was very discouraged but I kept going. It worked! I have been in maintenance for over 3 months now. I do have to say water is crucial! Don't give up and drink your water! You'll…

You look great! A definite difference! I look forward to seeing the future progress pic.s.

Wow - just Wow!

Good for you! You look awesome! Will be waiting to see the last half - goal pic.s!

Being peri-menopausal seemed to kick me in the butt too! I woke up at 46 and was a fat woman : ( I joined MFP, followed the guidelines to the letter and I'm thin again : ) I still measure and weigh my food. I exercise at least 3 times a week - Jillian Michaels and the treadmill. I cannot even describe how good it feels. I…

It happened to me also. I use moisturizers, vitamin E and egg whites. It does help. Who would have thought we'd lose weight under our eyes!

Sent request. Let's get you off those meds!
