Congratulations, Brent! Not only do you look great, but thanks for sharing your story - very eloquent. It's really nice to hear the story behind what led someone to their success. You are an inspiration to me, who is down 40 so far but still has a long way to go ... it's a long journey but I'm finding that once I got into…

No, I'm not working out at all yet. I will be in the near future, but not yet. I have some injuries that make it difficult, and I am waiting until I drop a bit more weight to lessen the chance of making them worse. I am not disputing the value of exercise, this question is specific to my CURRENT situation which is based on…

I am 5'8" with a large frame, and my goal weight is 165. I anticipate being either an 8 or 10 at that weight, depending on where I shop. I still have a long way to go, but I can't wait :o)

Wow, congratulations! You are truly inspiring.

You look great - congratulations on your success!

Thanks so much everyone for sharing your pics. I have always been an apple shape, as well.

Looks and sounds like you are doing great, thanks for sharing.

Great post! I have "only" lost 39 pounds, but ... I am proud that I have stayed on plan every day/week since I started in February. I am truly optimistic and hopeful about my future. I know I can and will stay on track and reach my goals. My plantar fasciitis has all but disappeared. I am down a full size in clothing. I…

Thank you for posting this. I gave up beef & pork (and any products containing their by-products) 4-1/2 years ago, and was so disappointed when I learned shortly thereafter that gelatin was a by-product. I gave up my favorite cereal, frosted mini wheats, since gelatin was an ingredient. I have only eaten pop tarts a couple…

Wow, I've only gotten thru the first couple pages so far, but the pics I've seen so far show amazing results ... good for all of you!!! Unfortunately, I've been heavy for such a long time and my skin has lost so much elasticity, that an attractive belly will be impossible without surgery (even with surgery, would never…

"I'll get back on plan when life isn't so stressful. When things calm down, I'll be in the right mindset to get & stay on plan." Turns out, that was BS. Um, hello ... life is stressful much of the time; if you wait for no stress you will never get/stay on plan! I believed it to be true for a long time, but I took a…

For me, personally, I think women are "too skinny" when they have a boney look, like Angelina Jolie these days. She used to look healthy but now (to me) she looks emaciated. My ideal is, yes, to be thin but a HEALTHY thin. Toned and strong looking, more like Jennifer Aniston. I believe that women should have curves --…

I love your story. I have to admit that at first when I saw your starting weight I wasn't sure if I was even going to read your entire post since I have a lot of weight to lose, and figured I wouldn't be able to relate much to someone who had so little to lose. I was wrong, and boy am I glad I read on! You look amazing and…

I could feel a difference in the shower, feeling my jaw bones, collar bone, shoulders, etc. more within about 20 lbs, but couldn't really see the difference or feel it much in my clothes til more like 25 lbs. I am now down about 37-38 lbs and am down a full size so can really tell now. A couple people have said that they…

Congratulations on your wonderful success; you are an inspiration!

Congratulations! You look fabulous and are an inspiration.

Congratulations! You can definitely see a difference.
