What a difference - well done on all your hard work, which has paid off :)

You look great

The cat defence keyring is an offensive weapon under the criminal law in Britain unfortunately, as is practically everything else, including pepper spray or a small penknife. I learned self defence and unarmed combat when in my 30s after being attacked by a group of men when I was walking home. It gives you the confidence…

I have lost my boobs now - from an F cup originally to about a C now , and my round bottom is now flat. I was very curvy at 194lb but at 149lb am like an ironing board. I am losing weight for my health, but I actually liked my body better before when I had shape.

You looked lovely before but wonderful after - well done :)

Brilliant job :)

Wow - well done, and what a handsome lad!

I have deleted people who aren't eating enough to keep body and soul together. I can't help people with that attitude and they have chosen their path. The ones that frighten me most are the young men, one of whom on my list was eating 700 calories a day of pure junk. There are only so many times you can tell them to eat…

I've only been to an exercise class a few times in my life, and only to a public gym once. I could not bear to exercise with a bunch of strangers, so I have always done it alone. I know people who love it though, they go alone and make new friends, running partners and tennis partners!

My father, who is very ill. He motivated me and I am doing it for him.

Hey Mr Jenkins - you're right, but weight till 50 hits ;) I wish I had started this journey much earlier

I'm 51 and peri with all the shocking symptoms. You can do it, but it's not easy. I have had to be really strict with what I eat. I have lost 42lb while having these symptoms. I still have some stomach fat though. I used to be able to shed a stone or two really fast, not any longer. I am going to take up exercise, and I…

Blimey mate, experts will be along soon, but I can tell you that eating 1200 a day and working out 800 or so a day leaves you with barely enough calories to exist on. You will waste muscle off your body (including heart muscle eventually) You might get skinny fat. You will feel cold as your poor body can't keep itself…

Hello. This site and the people here are great. Why not get some friends to follow you in your journey? If you can put some info on your profile, it helps. Add me if you like - I have lost 40lb with mfp and still going :) I am in the UK

What a gorgeous woman and what an achievement! You have inspired me today as I have hit a weight plateau - I will keep going! Thanks for sharing your story.

great job!

Gorgeous :) Many congratulations. I loved your post

I can tell just by reading that post what a great human being you are. Well done on your weight loss and new outlook on life :)

You look fabulous!

My weight can go up by 7lb during that time, plus I have mad cravings to eat. It is difficult, but I don't weight myself at all during that time as it is demoralising.

Don't be so mean and hard on yourself! Just log it as best you can, and move on darling.

Very sorry for your loss. You are only 39 and can lose that weight. I understand about the napping. I have lost a couple of very important people and the effects on a person can be very physical indeed. Lots of love and friend me if you are looking for friends - I have lost 44lb so far

I'm 51 and have lost 44lb and want to lose more. Add me if I can help :)

Tremendous! well done :)

Great story - and you look wonderful. :)

You look really great - congratulations

Hi . Scotland is my favourite place on the planet. I have sent you a friend request :)

You can do it. You will feel so much better. It's great you are starting now. I started this year aged 51 and have gone from obese to normal weight. Commit yourself to it and don't let anything get in your way :) I am in Northern England.

Hello Lhdaddy! I'm 51 and this website has changed my life for the better. I have gone from obese to a normal weight in 6 months and everything in life is better. I don't have kids, but please friend me if I can help as I would love to support you

The best advice I ever had in my life was from a co-worker in 1986: "Don't think about it, do it". It has worked for so many things.
