Such an amazing story and you are such a wonderful person! I'm glad I somehow found you as a friend here on MFP! You are so very inspiring! Congrats ~ you deserve it! :)

I just started with the food changes! I figured lowering my calories was enough to start with! No gym for me. I'll add that in later - probably at the 3 month mark. I have been at it for 5 weeks and have lost 13 lbs. I have not gone to the gym, don't drink water, and eat candy every day. I plan on adding in the water here…

SW: 221.5 lbs CW: 211 lbs GW: 117 lbs I started on January 13, 2014 and am anticipating it will take me 10-14 months to reach my goal! :)

I was wondering the same thing. I look at diaries and I see people CONSISTENTLY 500-1000 (even up to 1300) calories UNDER PER DAY. (No these numbers are not typos). I just don't get it. It seems so unhealthy and unsustainable for the long term. Also, most of these people are newbies, but some aren't. Won't this eventually…

She looks awful! Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too thin. She has the characteristic "look" that screams anorexia now. She started as a fresh faced 24 year old and now looks like she's 40. Her BMI is now 18, which is classified as underweight, which IS unhealthy. She certainly is the "biggest loser" with the way she looks and her…

I am 44 years old, 5'4" and started at 221.5 lbs. My calorie intake was "set" at 1300 by MFP and I selected a sedentary lifestyle, and wanting to lose 1.4 lbs per week. I am down 10 lbs. in 3 weeks and 4 days. My daily calories recalculated as I am losing to 1260 and now are at 1240 (as "set" by MFP). I don't drink any…

I don't know what y'all are looking at but Rachel looks anorexic and has the typical "look" of anorexia when looking at her. Also she went from looking like a fresh faced 24 year old to looking like a 40 year old woman who is trying to look 20 something. She sure is the "biggest loser" looking like that and is unhealthy…

I hate to say this but the only way I can keep myself from doing this is to literally throw it in the trash so I won't eat it. I know it is bad since it is wasting food and money, but that always works!

I am going to be rewarding myself with Botox and lip injections! Already have the DD's even when I am at my 115 weight! But I have a longggggggggg way to go so it will be awhile but I still can't wait!

Thanks for all of the responses! I should've known it was too good to be true! Can you tell I'm new at this and have A LOT to learn? According to the label, serving size is 1 oz. (3 pickles) Each serving has less than 1 gram of carbs and 0 grams of protein. Both carbohydrates and proteins have 4 calories per gram. So…

I too have to lose 100+ lbs (105 to be exact)! Let's get a group of 100+ "friends" going and help each other! :) I just added you! Anyone else feel free to add me as well! :) Stephanie

Good job! That is great! Be happy! And just think if you hadn't lost that one pound, you may have gained if you were eating the "old" way! Every pound lost is a small step toward the final goal and a mini victory! Chin up and on to the next pound! :)

I'd like to be buddies too! I have 105 lbs to lose and know this will be a longgggg journey but I am ready! I'd love to meet people who have a long journey ahead as well so we can help and support each other!

Hi~ I'm Stephanie, and am another Mom! New to this group. I have two kids ages 17 and 19. My goal is to lose 105 lbs and get back to what I weighed before I had my kids. The weight has slowlyyyyyy crept up on me over the years! I am hoping I can do this with the help of MFP and people here! I am always available to support…

Three things: 1). Got asked by a five year old boy "Is there a baby in there?" 2.) Was at Dillard's and asked where the dress department was (as I wear a 16), and the sales person said "Plus size?". 3). My son, my daughter, and I all have the same North Face jacket. So of course we have to look inside to see which size is…

I am new here and need to lose 105 lbs. I have gained all of this weight since I got married and had 2 children. My goal is to lose all of this weight before my son graduates from high school (June 2015)! I would love to be "friends" with people on MFP who have a longggggg journey, so we can help each other. Please add me…

I'm looking for the same thing! I am new here. Need to lose 105 lbs. Today is the first day of the rest of our lives! We CAN do this! I also need positive people to keep me on track! I know it may look weird that I don't have a pic up yet but I will be doing that tonight! (Don't know how to do it yet)! And I guess we need…

I needed to see this today too! I am on day one of my 105 pound weight loss journey. I need all of the inspiration I can as I am in for the long journey!
