Great Job!

FABULOUS! I have only been counting calories for 3 weeks and I notice a significant difference. You've got me thinking about what I can do if I take it up a notch or two! Great job. Thank you for sharing w all of us!

You look wonderful! Congratulations! Best for continued success!

Awesome job!

Hi, I'm just joining this challenge today. I got back on the WL journey and tracking on Sunday. I've been using my feet as my mode of transportation whenever possible since Sunday and its going very well. I'm tracking every bite, every day, and moving so much more! I've only done one "walk for the sake of walking" vs going…

ditto to what everyone has written! It's great that you all are traveling while taking the WL journey - so many people put off their joys "until I/we...." BIG KUDOS!

Hi. I'm a New Yorker who's living/working in Ohio for close to 4 years. I have gained a lot during the adjustment - completely different lifestyle. I am now ready to stop the excuses, begin losing, and practice a new type of healthy happy life...in Ohio!

NYC girl now living in Ohio!

Hey APECK...you are young - 18 y/o...you don't seem to have a lot to loose, just perhaps tone? Well, when I was my absolute SEXIEST - mid 30's and after having 2 children - I was weight lifting. I did my cardio training too. I have gained most of that weight back...now at 41 y/o what do you think I've begun doing?!? BINGO…

Hi everyone. 41 y/o here. I've donned 2014 as my BOUCE BACK YEAR...putting me FIRST...and SO EXCITED. Please feel free to drop me a note w a friend request. Smiles!!

ditto ditto on all the comments (7 pages) above me: You ROCK! You Kick *kitten*! You look like a different person! Your husband looks great. ALL OF IT! =) What I do appreciate is you mentioning WW as a positive. I did WW, lost about 40 lbs....gained it back over 2 years bc of ME, not a reflection of WW. Now I'm on MFP and…

FABULOUS!!! Smiling w you!

Over the years I have found this to be a very personal choice. After many alterations, I stick w 2 tbsp half & half & 2 tsp of SUGAR (YUP, the REAL stuff), and YES I measure this EVERY SINGLE morning! Like many folks I do buy whole beans, I grind them each morning and use a french press. This never messes up…

NOW WE"RE TALKING!!!! =)

This is FABULOUS! Congratulations!

GURL - you are not just a BADASS but one dynamic chica! I love your story, love your HAPPY pics, love you perspective. What I most appreciate is that within your story you allow/empower folks to come to their own realizations. The wight loss journey is truly a personal one and trial & error - in my humble opinion - is…

I am 4'11" & 41 y/o. I am beginning this journey *again* at probably close to my highest weight. I haven't seen 150 or less in probably over 20 years. I am SO VERY INSPIRED by ALL of you! THANK YOU SO VERY VERY much for sharing all of this w all of us! =) Smiles! Best Wishes to all for 2014!

I too have a difficult time throwing food away. Have you considered packing up the left-overs and giving them out? Perhaps a piece of cake to your postman, the check out staff at the library, other folks you regularly interact w? What about neighbors who have college kids home visiting? Or neighbors who's kids are on…

damn girl, you look FAB!!! Congrats!

Thank you so much for sharing your pictures, your journey, your story, your goals...you look amazing & are extremely inspiring!

Hi all. I have been on this site 2 weeks tomorrow. I have tracked my calories EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE BITE. While I have not weighed myself (yet) I KNOW I have DEFINITELY lost weight already! My clothes feel different, I look & feel different & folks are noticing. I am guess-timating I have about 70 lbs to loose. I…

I'm 4'11" and am only 11 days into my WL journey...I haven't weighed myself yet...over the weekend I got together w a good friend and she noticed...my clothes are looser...I feel AWESOME. As someone else stated, when you are short every ounce makes a difference. In the past people noticed as my body tighten, not so much…

you've made EXCELLENT progress! Congratulations! Yes, rock that bikini & be proud! You look awesome!

This is an EXCELLENT post. I read every post. I can relate to many of you either now or in the past. I believe my overarching struggles are: A) CONSISTENCY - I don't mean day to day or even month to month; but learning how to create a true LIFESTYLE. Life has bumps, life is a roller coaster...in the 10 years of being…

WONDERFUL post! Thank you for sharing!

I agree w you. When I am on point, eating healthy, I am prepping & cooking in advance...I eat healthier and SAVE MONEY! I cooked today's dinner this morning...and cooked tomorrow's dinner while cleaning up from today's dinner. I LOVE coming home & not having to think about while I'll eat....if dinner isn't planned in…

Yes the definition is clearly coming in! And like SO many others have said - your journey is a great inspiration! WORK IT!!!

Hi - my question was for you - What are MACROS? Thanks

new here - can you explain what MACROS are. Thanks

I knew I had gained a lot...but caught a glimpse of myself in a store window and said aloud OH ****...I was stunned! When I decided to join MFP I knew I needed to take NON-concealing photos...the ones in the buff did not please, but when I saw the ones fully clothed, again, I was SHOCKED! How come no one told me?!? Why…
