Confucius — 'The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. Small goals, reward yourself, and be honest, be brutally honest when you log your food. Every bite, weigh it, enjoy it -log it...repeat :-) Forget the weight, focus on your overall health and fitness -the weight will fall into place. It worked…

You are truly an inspiration to all of us who fight so hard to be healthier and fitter.

1241 days and nights :-) 156 pounds lost. Just turned a year older, but feel younger than I have in a long time. I am in my 50's now and there is no holding me back. Maintaining for the next 1241 days and thereafter.

A girl's night out when we went to the movie theater and none of my friends wanted to sit beside me. That's when I realized how big I was. I went home, changed my name to The_Movie_Chair, started logging my food, even started exercising, when I was allowed to.

I disagreed with your post wholeheartedly. Should they post fat people on their page? How motivating would that be? Just like dentists show you the smile after the work and not before, MFP shows us who we long to be. I came here to MFP three years ago, weighed 312 pounds and could not walk across the room without breathing…

Yes, it is that simple. Calories in - calories out + a bit of discipline + laughter and joy = Success and better Health! (Weight loss is just a side effect) It took me three years to lose 156 pounds. Down from 312 lbs to goal weight 156 lbs. Half of my old weight! The only restrictions I have are health-related dietary…

I can't give you awesome feedback since I don't know anything about you. But I can give you a heartfelt "Welcome." Love yourself unconditionally. If you love yourself you will take care of yourself!

Super. Onderland feels amazing and it's worth the wait.

Aging happens in your body, being old happens in the mind. :-)

I have two autoimmune disorders. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and a biopsy confirmed I have Celiac disease. I cannot eat gluten due to Celiac disease and I have given up dairy, which made a dramatic impact on my inflammation. I cook everything from scratch. Buy only grass-fed meat at a local butcher store. Lots of fish…

I thought so too when I came here. No way can I do this (alone) I knew I had over 100 pounds to lose and doubted myself. Everything is easier with friends and support by your side but in the end, it will be all up to you. If you want something badly enough you will go after it, if not you will find excuses not to.…

Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy New Year. Welcome! Have fun, enjoy your time here. Make friends, share and find be strong.

In a world full of lies, you ask for more lies. Unicorns fa*ting rainbows everywhere, that's the goal so it seems. eBay doesn't allow negative reviews for Buyers, Amazon's 5-star ratings are mostly bought or unrealistic because let's face it, how can a notebook have 5-star ratings, it's a notebook for heaven's sake. To…

It makes me not care about loss or gain. :-)

I am so happy for you. I am still not at my goal weight, but I am getting there. Only 9.5 pounds away and then maintenance hell will begin. You look happy and healthy. Amazing result lady! You inspire many!

I got all teary eyes when I read your story. The love you have for your wife comes shines through your post. I am very happy you made all the changes and if I may so so, I am very proud of you and bow. Well done, well done!

Apple Cider Vinegar (the real one with the mother) has lots of benefits however weight loss is not one of them. I take it if I have acid reflux by husband drinks it every morning because he has gout. For years I have touted the benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV) with its positive health properties. One might think,…

I have Celiac Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis, both are autoimmune disorders. (Yeah, two for the price of one.) It is not a secret that many foods can trigger inflammation in our bodies. I live a gluten and almost grain free life and it has made all the difference in the world. According to my doctors and my nutritionist,…

I am here since 12 months. I have lost 81 lbs and there is a lot more where that came from. :-) Feel free to add me. I log in every day and I am determined. You sound headstrong and stubborn just like me, I have no doubt you will reach your goal.

What a transformation. Fantastic! Congratulations!

Congratulations. You have achieved something amazing and you will continue to follow the path of your journey. Well done!

I needed to see this today. Thank you!

Wow, I am speechless!

Unbelievable! Great comparison. Congratulations on your success.

I needed to see that today. I am still far away from Onederland but even further away from the scary "3". Thank you for posting this today.

My beautiful friend. I am so happy for you. You are one of my heroes -always will be. You were already so successful when I started here and you have helped me so much. I am mighty proud of you! So glad we met!

Apple Juice and Water is as good as Gatorade; it's actually healthier and cheaper. Drink enough water and when the cramps get really bad, drink a shot of vinegar mixed with water (apple cider vinegar). It's an old remedy, surprisingly it helps.

I hope everybody who thinks about Gastric bypass or all the other invasive surgeries will now know it can be done the healthy way. Awesome - Just incredible

I like this a lot! Thank you for sharing
