Your story is incredible and it inspires me and most of all it gives me hope. I have lots of weight to lose and need all the help I can get, I would like to add you to my friend list if that's ok, thanks for sharing your story.

Congratulations, thank you for sharing! Gives me hope on my journey

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and your honesty, you have truly inspired me today. Your story gives me hope in my battle, I've struggled with food addiction my whole life and I'm now 53 and weigh over 220 pounds. I wish you all the best!!

Congratulations! You motivate me, I've got over 80+ to lose and I'm hoping to hang around with people who walk the walk and talk the talk, all the best and I would like to add you as a friend.

Hi Rebecca, you can add me if you like, I need to lose over 80+ pounds and could use a buddy along the way, Happy New Year to us!!!

You look amazing! The change is the before and after is incredible, you are a true inspiration to the rest of us women who are on this journey, keep up the good work

Wow, I'm totally blown away, amazing is all I can say, people like you give me hope and today I needed to see this! I would like to add you as a friend please if I could, I really could use some support.

I have to lose around the same amount, I'll add you, I could use support also

I would like to lose around 80 pounds, I could also really use support, we can't do this alone but as a group we can help to encourage each other, especially through the ups and downs, please feel free to add me!:flowerforyou:

Thank you for reminding me that it's all about calories in and calories out, I've been really struggling lately with going on all these stupid food plans that restrict carbs, the truth is I love my carbs and when I deprive myself, I end of eating them to a very uncomfortable level. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Thanks for the update, enjoyed all these helpful hints on blogging.

You look amazing? Congratulations of your huge weight loss, you are a true inspiration for the rest of us who are on this weight loss journey, keep up the amazing work!:flowerforyou:

Mine is open also, I'm currently on day 3 of a Vegan diet, so far I have to say I'm very happy! It's much faster and I don't have to think about making big meals. Last night a enjoyed a 9 grain chibatta bun from Costco, I put peanut butter on it, I was still down almost two pounds this morning! Good luck with this, you can…

Amazing transformation! I need to see this today, was feeling very discouraged, thank you! I'm going to friend you if you will accept

That sounds like a lot of exercise in one day! When I started this program I knew that I needed to add exercise for faster results, so I asked myself what can I live with each day. For me, I choose to exercise around 45 minutes six days a week to get my weight off faster. When I reach my goal, I would like to do only 30…

Thanks for reminding me that it's not what you eat but the amount, the one thing I love the most about this program is that I can eat what ever I want as long as i'm within my calorie intake for the day. I've tried all the crazy diets for many years, don't eat this and don't eat that, low carb, high carb, low fat, high…

You need to do this, please don't be like me and let this keep going into your 50's. I too was heavy in my 20's, 30's, 40's and now into my 50's. I believe that I failed because I looked at it as dieting instead of life style change, I also did many stupid crazy diets. I love this plan here because I can eat what ever I…

Thank you for sharing, you look absolutely amazing! I really needed to see this today and I loved your incredible story, I would like to add you to my friend list, thanks from Deborah!:flowerforyou:

I love to read these types of stories, fills me with so much hope! You are a true inspirational to all who are on this journey to good health!

Unbelievable the transformation! You look years younger, thanks for sharing, gives hope to others like myself!

I'm on the same journey, I got around 80 plus pounds to lose and I know it's not going to happen overnight, here is a little motivational quote that I found on another members profile. "Being overweight and unhealthy is hard, losing weight and getting healthy is hard". Pick your hard Hugs and all the best, you can add me…

I have to agree with Kelseyhere, I try and avoid sugar like the plaque because I believe it's very addictive to some people, not everyone. My husband can enjoy something sweet and he moves on, me no way, I want to eat it until it's all gone. If I'm really craving something sweet, I'll bake it myself so that I know what is…

Hi there, I'm feeling the same way today, I feel so mad at myself for letting myself get to this weight!!! I need to stay focused and remember that it's just one day at a time and one pound at a time, no looking back just full steam ahead, we can do this because other people have done it so it can be accomplished! Hang in…

You look amazing! Thanks for sharing, you give hope to the rest of us who are struggling and this tells me that it can be done with hard work and determination. wishing you all the very best!!! I would like to add you to my friend list if I could for inspiration, I need to lose a lot of weight also, take care.

You look amazing, thanks for sharing all your pictures & hiding nothing! I wish that I had the guts to post a full body image, just maybe I might lol. Wishing you all the very best, keep going you can do it!!

Hi Everyone, my name is Debbie and I'm from Alberta, I like the idea of a group called 50+, although I must say that with all this weight I'm carrying around, I feel more like 75:sad: I joined mfp around March but I haven't been doing very well, as a matter of fact I even gained five more pounds. I think I had my ah ha…

Hey there, don't be so hard on yourself, just take one day at a time and one pound at a time, remember we're not perfect. I believe that each and every one of us has his/her cross to carry in life, mine happens to be food addiction, I'll always be a food addict. I to am trying to lose weight and I also struggle with…

Sorry to hear your going through a rough time, life can do that from time to time, you just got to believe that this will pass. I agree with the others on here, you got to take care of yourself first before you can look after anyone else, I'm giving you this advice and I should be doing the same thing. Maybe we can do it…

What a great story, can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! I'm so glad you nipped your weight problem in the butt while your still young. I went into my 20's, 30's, 40's and now I'm into my early 50's and I mourn for my younger self some days that I never got to see her succeed. I'm still battling but I'll never give up,…
