Haha.....yup........that was my first thought.

You're one of the awesomest people I've "met" on MFP! Thanks for being super encouraging and inspiring!! And AMAZING job! You look phenomenal. I'm beyond impressed by you always!!!

Well, hubby did this for me as a gift when we were dating (we weren't allowed to spend money on a Christmas gift the year we got engaged lol). He made me a virtual scrapbook....he took a lot of pictures of us and things we'd done (get your minds out of the gutter lol), and set them to music (my fav love songs) and it…

Say whaaaaat??!?!?!??!??!!

I don't know if this is helpful to you, but I want it....I REALLY want it. I want to he healthy, I want to lose weight, I want to get fit....I want those things so badly that it is right now overriding my want of my unhealthy lifestyle. Do you want it bad enough? To me, this lifestyle change is going to give me a better…

When my husband and I were talking about losing weight (like we always would nonchalantly), and then it became serious......he grabbed my hand, looked me in the eyes and said "I'm overweight, but you're the kind of overweight that people die from". That was March 10th, and that's the day I joined MFP. I needed that wake up…

153 :)

It's really discouraging to me when someone looks at me incredulously and says something along the lines of "you're losing weight" Yeahhhhh.....I know I have a lot to lose and you might not notice it, but you know what?? I am not trying, I am succeeding!!! Lay off.

Well, it took me a crap load of guts to walk into a gym a few weeks ago....I'm 150 pounds overweight and if it wasn't for my cute outfit, I probably wouldn't have been able to go in lol. Vanity? Yep. But when I see other girls there looking adorable in their matchy matchy outfits, it motivates me lol.... I will admit…

You look amazing!! Congrats on your weight loss!

Exactly! Well....except I spend more lol. $10-15 a week! Wow! Impressive!

The original post was over 2 years ago......I don't think the OP is still active.... But I hope everyone finds their motivation! :)

Wow - not sure how to respond! That's an incredibly sad story but with a happy ending (Tim I mean). You are worth it - those people in your life that have done things to break you down are not worth your time. You are better than them. Everyone has a story, and thank you for sharing yours! Hopefully it will help you heal…

Lol okay - then I'm bowing out :) I know there are more experienced people out here to help ya! But if it helps, weight loss isn't linear and sometimes it's just patience (so I've heard/read) Good luck and good job with your first 10 pounds!

Consume 4000 a week??? That's how many calories you eat in a week?? I'm not an expert, but you do need to eat more. Much more.....like at least double that!

Sorry, you asked for it - 26 days in.....check out the ticker. Yes, I have a lot of weight to lose so I'm going to lose it more quickly at first, but I'm just eating at my deficit and moving my butt! And the bonus? - I eat real food! All day long! Yum! And I have more money in my wallet :) Money to buy more real food. :)…

Kissed any other man other than my hubby! Married young lol :)

Hi! I have about 140 pounds to lose :) You seem like you're off to a great start and have a good network of support around you! That's awesome!

16 pounds so far - well...15.6 lol

Amazing! Wow!

I have a lot to lose, but I've lost about 16 pounds in 26 days....Nice numbers but I know it will slow lol :)

Go for it! Just make sure that it doesn't send you into a chocolate spiral lol :)

Hey! I started about 4 weeks ago and I came into it with the mentality that nothing was off limits and if I wanted more food, I'd have to move my butt and get exercise calories. 26 days in, and I really love how it's going for me :). I rarely eat less than 1500 calories a day and never less than the 1450 MFP gives me. I…

I bought a $50 WW scale and it gave me different readings EVER SINGLE TIME I stepped on the scale....and I'm not talking .2 pounds difference....sometimes it was 7 pounds! So back it went and then I bought a regular $20 Taylor scale and it is amazingly consistent. I stand on it 4 times in a row and I get the exact same…

Great job!!!

I like food. Seeing a calorie goal of 1450 a day makes me want to get my butt moving to eat more of it lol. Once MFP gives me 1200 a day, I will most likely change my goals to lose 1 pound a week cuz no one likes a hangry woman lol. But that's just me.

I'm 5'2"......I ate 500 calories for lunch alone. Girl, you gots to eat! Seriously! Please please please! Go look through the success stories and see how they lost their weight! No magic pills, just hard work and real food!

Wow! I can really see a difference! Great job!

Love this post OP! Great attitude!

I bought 7 bottles!!!!! And a wrap that guarantees the pounds will melt away!! I should lose the rest of my weight in approximately 5 months! WOOOO! Sooooo excited!!! Now, I gotta go find the pot of gold cuz I see a rainbow! OH HAPPY DAY!
