You look incredible. Congratulations on all of your hard work and success!

Amazing! You look great! Congratulations on all of your hard work and success!

congrats! I can see the different in your mid-section! Keep it up!

Think about it this way... If you do get together with him and you guys have a serious relationship, won't you be stuck worrying, in the future, that some hot girl from his past could come into the picture and make him leave you as he did his ex-wife?

That is amazing! Congratulations. You will be kicking butt at that marathon!

The truth is great, but it's the way the person conveys it. Let's say someone tells you you're fat, but makes fun of you while they tell you, that's going to sting a bit. There is a nice way to go about it, but being put down or made fun of is NOT that way to go about it. If someone was gaining weight and I was worried…

20 lbs is an amazing accomplishment! Go ahead and shout it from the rooftops ;) congrats!

I went to school with a guy whose name was Abeer Bag Oh, and a guy that comes into the gym I work at is named George Georgopolous. Really? You coulnd't have thought of something OTHER than George?! Apparently not very creative...

Thanks for sharing!!

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that she is trying to lose weight but her boyfriend is being unsupportive by making rude comments that put her down. A lot of women tend to go to food when they're upset, and this could drive her to eat or binge. He isn't asking her to be a sports nut, he's asking her to be…

Are you kidding?! 30 lbs is a GREAT accomplishment! You look amazing. It's VERY noticeable in your picture. Your stomach in your DP also looks great. Awesome definition! Keep it up!

I've never had a Husky, but I do currently have a German Sheppard. She is a great, loyal dog. She used to go to work with my dad when he owned his own shop, but he sold it and now can't take her to work. She does look pretty upset when we leave her in the morning, but she is so happy to see you when you get home and she is…

:sad: too cute! Congratulations! Keep it up!

5'9" - 150 lbs :)

I basically feel the same. I am disgusted in the way I used to look, but happy that I worked hard and lost 30 lbs!

I am 5'9" and my goal weight is 150!

Congratulations!!!

It's great that you have been able to break the cycle. Amazing job on your weight loss journey so far. Keep it up! :)

I find that after a break up, we start to second guess ourselves when we're alone or when we're doing something that we'd usually be doing with our significant other. It sounds like you knew it wasn't going to last with him and as we get older I think we should be with someone we see as part of our future. There will be…

Congratulations. You look absolutely unbelievable! Great role model for your daughters!

woohoo!! Such a difference in the pictures! Keep it up!! Your being a great role model for your son (I am assuming). Keep it up!

I was stuck on my last 10 lbs for MONTHS. Your body does it naturally. You said you "had to lose 10-15 lbs to feel good about yourself" which upsets me a bit because I remember thinking "If I'm not 155 or 150 then I'll be fat and ugly" ... now I am not at that weight but I feel great because I eat right and kick *kitten*…

Thank you. It's nice to see this.

jealousy. Either of other girls or in relationships. I just don't get it...

My name is Shannon and my mom got the name from some song about a lost dog. Ugh. haha Thankfully, no one knows the song really so I have never been asked. Actually, I get asked if I am Irish instead! My dad almost wanted to name me Ramona.... :|

WOW! You look great! such an inspiration. Keep it up!

Awesome! Welcome to MFP!! How is your hubby liking the "new you" ??

AWESOME!!!! Keep it up!

You look skinnier and more toned in the second set of pictures. Running helps to show the definition of abs as well!

And I thought all the drama stopped once High School was over but it appears that it still happens every where! It's sad. You're appreciated! Especially if your name is Shannon, because Shannon's are cool :happy:
