You should add him, always helps to have pals with a sense of humour :laugh:

Hi 40 something here.. I have a son with ASD so know some of your challenges :noway: : You can add me if you like, I have been here since January 1st and this works :smile:

You are amazing!

Just wanted to stop by and wish you luck. I'm also 44yrs old and it's taken me until now to finally start losing the weight.( I also have a special needs kid and the weight loss so far has made it a lot easier to keep up with him) Keep using this site, log in every day - even if you have a bad day. Add friends- this really…

It depends how much you need to lose to start with, if somebody starts at 150lb and loses 15lb, It's gonna show. Someone starting at 300lb losing 15 won't...be patient, you will notice a difference soon and before you know it everyone else will be noticing :happy:

You look fantastic! I bet you feel it too :happy:

Curly Wurly! 115cals and take ages to eat, and they are Cadbury's! :happy:

Yay! Pleased to see there is still a couple of us ' new year resolutioners' around :happy: Congratulations to you both on your great work this year :drinker:

This ^^

**7 MONTHS ON- HOW ARE YOU DOING?** Just wanted to update this to see how everyone is doing, I can see that a lot of people who originally replied to this back in March are still going :happy: Congratulations everyone, you made to August, and if you aren't at goal yet you have proved that you have the staying power to get…

It sounds as if you have raised a lovely well balanced son, I wonder if you could use his kind heart to help him? Maybe ask him if he will help you on this journey? Tell him you could use the support with healthy eating and need an exercise buddy- just out walking together or cycling/ swimming to start. It could be a…

:Your pictures are showing a huge difference! But I know how you feel Esther, I often feel fed up because I am still large, and of course weight loss is slowing down. Remember though that we are half way there now and each 10lbs is going to make even more difference as we get closer to goal. You are doing fantastic and you…

Bet you never imagined 12 weeks ago you would be in the 200's. Fantastic loss, looks like you will be at goal in no time! Enjoy the maltesers :drinker:

Hmmm, my left ear is ok, my right one sticks out and has a nobbily bit though :noway:

Yep, I know where you are coming from, and even when you know your full you still carry on :noway: I use a smaller plate nowadays and it does seem to work. I also never buy the large bags of crisps ( chips) as cant stop til they are gone, it's gotta be psychological, hasn't it?

Ok, got one... I'm taking back my ankles :-) they are starting to resemble ankles again and not water filled balloons :-)

Fantastic, just popped on here for some inspiration and you are it :flowerforyou:

Wow! Fantastic transformation! I bet your kids are so proud of you, you are inspirational!

Welcome back! I love your quote 'I'm not fat, I'm just easy to see' Gonna have to use that one myself :wink: If you want anymore supporters, feel free to add me :drinker:

Congratulations, you are doing great, you should be very proud :smile: I've been here 6 months too, and feel like you do, it's not been that tough, I wish I had stuck to it years ago!

You look fab! You also now have collar bones! ( can't wait to get mine!) well done!

This is so well written, you are exactly right, as long as we are here, logging in, we are on the right track. I have friends from all over the world who I'll never meet, some of them I don't even know what they look like, nor they me. But how can I let myself down, knowing I am letting them down too? I can't, so thanks to…

Thanks Rach, I think you are right, wonder how much will be gone by Jan 1st 2013? :wink:

Hello, I'm Jane. I am 43 ( 44 on saturday) and have been overweight my whole adult life. I started on MFP on January 1st and started adding friends in March when I realised that I was actually going to stick to this! :drinker: I have IBS which is pretty much under control and don't eat vegetables - I spent my whole…

Surely I'm not the only one left? :noway:

Hi Scott, Sorry to hear about your airline situation, but glad it has got you back here. I am 43 and have tried to lose weight all off my adult life, I started here on January 1st and haven't looked back. Your goals all seem realistic and do-able, In fact I bet you will probably smash them! Add yourself some friends (…

You are a great inspiration, and I'm so glad that you have taken this set back on the chin and carried on regardless..makes you even more inspirational in my book! At least you get to celebrate all over again when you hit half way again :drinker:

4938.6 + 62=5000.6 Woo hoo I took it over 5000 :happy:

I only walk and count calories, and I'm doing ok, 62lb since january 1st :-)

I think you are my secret triplets! Jan 1st started, calorie counting and 62lb down :-)!
