Wowzers!!! That's awesome!! Congratulations!

I'm down 61 (with 140+ lbs to go). My coworker notices and I notice. No one else has said anything, but more people are asking me if I'm walking (during lunch) and people are looking at me like "hmm".

You look amazing!! Congratulations!

I don't know much about water weight theory, but I will say that I don't count it out, so to speak. Meaning that those initial losses matter to me. Water weight or not, it is still a bunch of weight that I'm no longer carrying. :smile:

Got mine on the 30th and I LOVE it! https://www.fitbit.com/user/3SZ7PH

I call jealously from the coworker. Just do what's best for you. You look great!

Wow that's amazing and so inspiring. Congratulations.

AWESOME SAUCE!! :-) Congratulations - you look awesome.

The most accurate article ever!!! Thanks for sharing.

Added exercise to my plan this week, and increased my speed by the third time.

Sounds like your body did the initial dump of water weight, fluid, etc. that many dieters experience. No matter what, it's great that your body is responding to the positive changes! Best of luck to you!

You look great! Congratulations!

My doctor is kind of heavy, but if she was bigger, it wouldn't bother me. When she gives me diet tips, she seems to really feel my frustration. Plus, she is trying to lose weight, so she can give me her own personal testimony. She is a human first, a doctor second :-).

Your story is amazing. Congratulations!!!! BTW, who does that? I did that when I was pregnant...McDonald's, BK, and Taco Bell, then dinner. And it stuck with me for 4 years.

While I am not a huge fan of the BMI scale, it exists for a reason and should not be totally discounted. The average person should fall within (or very close to) the ranges given. I look at it like this: So many of us on MFP have been fighting a battle with our weight for a very long time. Now that we are here, we want to…

Awesome job! You look beautiful!!

I so agree!

Hit Victoria's Secret for some sexy girly things. I haven't been able to shop there in a decade.

Count me in! I was able to do about 40 in October without a goal set. This will be fun.

I am day to day. Yesterday I wasn't hungry at all. Today, I am starving. I just try to eat small meals all day long and have at least 10 cups of water. Even if it doesn't totally curb hunger, I find that increased water prevents the headaches. More than anything, listen to your body. If you are hungry, then eat. Just make…

Wow...you look amazing! Great job - keep it up girlie!

LOL!

Shake the haters off! I notice people always have something to say when you are making positive changes. Nobody told me anything when I was eating bags of Oreos. Now, that I log my food religiously, I am being a control freak. That's just how people are...unfortunately.

That's a compliment - JLo and Bey are considered thick. Go girlie!

Give it time. You are not very far from your goal, so your body will not let the weight go so easily. Focus on how your clothes fit, exercise endurance, and flexibility. Body fat loss is usually not seen on the scale immediately. HTH

Been here since July. Down 26.5 lbs so far...many more to go :smile:

You look AMAZING!!! Great work!

Wow what a difference! Congratulations!

Yes, it became discouraging, so I quit on 8/31 until my next weigh-in in early 2012. The scale was derailing my progress.

I usually snack on tuna, slices of turkey and cheese, or chicken breast. If your water and fiber are increased, I don't see a problem with increasing protein over carbs (for about 90 days or on a zig zag plan). I am very sensitive to carbs at my current weight. Prior to having a baby, I easily lost weight on 55% carbs in…
