This is an old post but whatever... My husband is 10 years and 3 months older than I am and I must say... it's the best relationship I have EVER been in (obviously since we got married). I never really think about our age difference unless someone asks...

I had to try several different ones. My favorite is from Jamba Juice -Steel cut oatmeal. It isn't watered down and I usually add in my own chopped up fruit!

Water. Iced coffee. A low fat string cheese! :)

I never thought I would... go from a size 12 to a size 2 I never thought I would... run 9miles I never thought I would... be satisfied with smaller portions I never thought I would... sustain my weight loss BUT I HAVE! : )

Thats great news!! :) I dealt with ovarian cysts from the ages of 12- 24. The doctors always brushed off my concerns saying I was young and my body was still changing... until I finally met a great doctor that found my cyst ridden ovaries!! The sad thing is, I only found that doctor after an ovarian cyst burst and landed…

You look great!!!!!!! : )

WOW! Congrats! You look SO much younger!!!!!

Looking great! : )

You look amazing!! Great job!

I'm 5'5, 26 years old & medium framed. My current weight ranges from 125 to 130 ( I use to weigh almost 170/size 12). I would love to be in the 117-120 range. My advice is just listen to your body... you'll know when you reach a weight that not only looks great on you but is maintainable : )

You look amazing!!!!! :)

Thanks everyone!! I really appreciate the support. I knew MFP was the place to post this "Vent session" since a lot of us are going through similar experiences!

THIS WAS SO ME!!! I've dropped 45 pounds since last year and when I evaluate myself, I think I could do 5 or so more pounds. However, I get so much slack over being too skinny already... my friend (that is my height and weighs about 7 pounds LESS than me) is constantly posting upsetting comments on my facebook photos like…

I was also diagnosed with PCOS and have been on birth control consistently for about 3 years. Do your research on different birth control pills... and keep in mind that the labels tend to say MAY cause weight gain. I was told by my doctor that losing weight would be challenging but possible.... and she was right... it was…

Congrats!!! You look great!!!

Hi Everyone!! I'm 5'5 HW: 168 CW: 122 GW:117 My journey started about a year ago... progress has been slow but steady... total lifestyle change! The hardest part was taking control over my emotional eating. My initial goal weight was 125 but once I got there, I decided I could still go a little lower... I want abs!!! :) I…

40 pounds makes a big difference!! Be proud of yourself!! In my experience, my family saw me regularly and acknowleged that I had lost weight but it was like "yeah I can see a little difference", but once I saw people I hadnt seen in a while, they noticed right away!!!

awesome story-- thanks for sharing!

I suppose the best approach is different for everyone... my friend finds that weighing in once every 15 days keeps her motivated, whereas, I like to weigh myself every morning.
