That's a lot of weight to lose. Congrats and keep it going.

I really see it in your waist! Don't worry about how you look now .. just keep on doing what you are doing. I have lost 26# and the only place I have noticed a change was in my shoe size. LOL

You know there is that point when you finally want to make a change. You have done such a great job and your progress is such an inspiration to the rest of us who still have a long way to go. Yes you look great, but I bet you feel proud too. It's tough .. and you did it! Good on you!

Just say "no thanks". If someone tries to talk you into doing something you just said "no" to .. you should quickly move away.. The worst thing you can do is to try "explain" your reasons to them because it makes you appear weak. You do not need justify anything. Just repeat "no thanks", turn and walk away. He is trying to…

Great analogy.

I agree with you. I know that I could not say "no" to myself. I ate and didn't exercise any "self-control". Obviously I was going to end up obese .. and that does not make me a "victim of society". I am a victim of the poor choices I have made .. and I have to accept personal responsibility for what I did to myself.

I have lost 27 lbs and thats a lot of weight to lose. I have not noticed a single change .. not in my clothes (the way they fit) .. or in my appearance at all ... and then .. ou are not going to believe this .. my first time I noticed a change was in my shoes !!! My shoes are starting to flop and are feeling too big. Me…

count me in

Thanks

Riding in the car more comfortably . . now that would be an unexpected pleasure. Thanks for your comments.

thanks

Thanks for saying such nice things to me. You inspire me to continue :blushing:

Maybe to punish us because it is pre-measured, simple to prepare, contains lots of roughage, is full of protein and delicious! How could we expect them to make it easy to calculate? :noway: :noway: :noway:

What perserverance! What tenacity! What steadfastness of purpose. What an incredible ability to say "no" to yourself! I have so much respect for what you have accomplished. Yes, you look great and I guess that is the goal. But I see the strong woman beneath outward appearances .. and I want to give recognition to the…

MrsD Sounds like you are one very busy and determined lady. Having babies can really sabotage your weight loss plans but now that you are finished with that part of your life you can move forward with the weight loss again. I know you are very busy with a young family to care for .. but shoot me a "hello" when you can ..…

Tanisha, My goodness what an inspiration you are. Going from 430# to 260# .. sounds like absolute heaven to me. You've done such a great job.. I'm really proud of you. I am going to get the lapband surgery as with my age and Diabetes it is the safest for me. It's really nice to hear such a success story. Gives me a whole…

Great piece of sarcasm there .. but if she is like me, owning a scale is torment. If I had a scale I would be on it all day long. I go to my Dr's office and weigh myself (gratis) on his scale every Sat. morning. So, NOT owning a scale is preferable for some people. Maybe she cannot afford to purchase a reliable scale. This…

Congratulations on taking control of your life and doing whatever you have to do to lose weight. Don't pay any attention to mean people who will make wisecracks and criticize you for having bariatric surgery. They have their own weight to lose and you should just reply to wish them well, completely ignoring their insults.…
