I did last time but this time I wanted to try and help. Being honest here about the depression was more important than any perceived success.

No problem at all. Hang in there. Honestly the difference in my life is amazing and it is achievable. There are funded programmes across the US for discounted psychotherapy. If you or a loved one have been in the military then there may be other avenues open to you for help.

Hey all! Just a mini update as you can all see I have now lost about another 20 pounds since this was first posted. I have a goal to reach 140 pounds lost by the 20/9/2014 as it is the 5th anniversary of my fathers death. I'm learning to drive and my theory test is also that day. No pressure! The weight loss has slowed a…

Awww shucks! Thank you once again. You keep making my day every time more of you post. I can't express how grateful I am to all of you.

Welcome PhaneeRuth! Sounds like you are only ever a jog around the block away from your old self? You can do it! Look at me...big all my life and now look at the pounds I've lost!? It's all in the mind :)

Thank you! (Again! LOL) Had a really good food week...weigh on Sunday. Big thanks to those who added me as well. Everyone has an amazing story to tell no matter how much weight they have or haven't lost! Good luck everyone!

Come on Pam you can do it! Just decide what you will eat either before the party or at the start. Put it into MFP and stick to it! Happy 4th of July!

Thanks guys! You have all really made my (now several) day(s)! I went out socially last time for the first time really since I lost the weight (sad I know). It was at a book club, I made two friends and was a fair bit more confident in speaking to people. I was showing people my photos because inevitably it comes down to…

As someone whose old jeans now do that...it is an odd feeling! Good luck this Summer!

Good look! Let me know how you get on!

My friends as all of you...are amazing! Proud is a tough one...ask me in about 6 months when the job is finished :)

A common question lol...generally the same but can walk further and faster. Found my rib cage last night and my hip bones the other week. Oh and get this...lost a shoe size and a half since I started! How weird is that?

OMG! How did you know that was so important! It's amazing! That is what I want to go fastest. Having a neck and neck muscles is weird!

Wow! Just wow! I hope that in another 36 pounds I can look this good.

It obviously goes without saying that all you lovely people can add me as a friend!

????

Thank you! I'll post some more every 2 stone or so and I will keep this request in mind. Clothes buying is a nightmare. Stuff stops fitting within about 2 months.

The photos are on the first page! LOL

OMG! 10 inches is the same as me! You may have lost around 5/7 stone! Very well done!

I posted mine yesterday. I am in the UK. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1341137-7-months-on-104-pounds-lighter

Well you guys made me cry! Mainly because I just wish my Dad was here to see it. Thank you all I truly am grateful and undeserving of your praise.

Great is a tiny bit of a stretch but I'll settle for better...still a little way to go

I have kept a few select pieces for future prosperity! LOL Wasn't trying to create a sense of suspense...honestly!

Thanks guys! I owe it all to MFP and I will NEVER forget what it means to be that big. The world is a cruel place for us!

Ok I decided to share these with you all early. In the same clothes! Untitled by griffiths.jeremy, on Flickr Untitled by griffiths.jeremy, on Flickr Untitled by griffiths.jeremy, on Flickr

I totally get what you are saying. I honestly feel if I can do it ANYONE can. I have been where you are and there is hope. A little will power and maybe some therapy and you will be well on your way. There are some therapy services that are in the US that are partially funded. Use the internet to have a look when I get…

Yay! A challenge! Have popped TL next to my name.

Totally agree with those of you who say this...I do not eat "clean" I have upped my water intake though Different strokes for different folks My target calories is about 1,790 but each day I end up with about 500 left over. Not doing this on purpose it just happens.

Thank you all of you. Lots of great ideas. One day soon I shall post my before and not quite after photos. I think I'm nearing the half-way point in my weight loss mission.

Fantastic! Thank you
