Fantastic! What a great NSV! Congratulations to you for focusing on healthy eating and good exercise habits at such a young age--you'll always be happy you've done this.

Hopefully you ate mostly good, healthy foods! :) Good luck!

Way to go! That's an excellent start!

That's so cool! Congratulations!:flowerforyou:

That is fantastic! Congratulations to you and seeing all your hard work pay off!!

That's wonderful!:happy:

You are looking hot! Keep up the great work! :smokin:

That's absolutely wonderful, and I'm sure your doctor thinks it's a big NSV!! Congratulations!

Try to focus on adding more healthy foods to your diet - baby carrots and sugar snap peas make great snacks, especially if you're an emotional eater, and not always hungry when you're eating. Unsalted, raw cashews and sunflower kernels are good. If you keep a few bags of frozen vegetables in your freezer (without sauce),…

You look fantastic! No one looking at you for the first time now would ever realize how far you've come! Thanks for the inspiration!

Congratulations! What a great "mistake!"

Wow, wonderful work! You are fantastic!

Loved your post! I'm obsessed with being healthy as well, and how many of your friends really want to hear about kale smoothies and raw carrots and the treadmill vs. the elliptical? :)

That is absolutely wonderful! So glad all your hard work is paying off!

You look beautiful! You're an even younger version of your former self now! Great work, and thanks for posting!

You are BEAUTIFUL! You've done a great job!

What a fantastic story! Congratulations on running the race!

Personally, I like to weigh in every two weeks. :smile:

I love that you're focusing on your health, and that weight loss is secondary (if you need to lose weight). Good work!

Brown rice is the most nutritious I've found. And it's microwaveable. Put 1 cup of dry brown rice and 2 and 2/3 cups water in a bowl. Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Then microwave at 50% power for 20 minutes. Add a little bit of salt and butter or margarine if you'd like. (Because I have to watch my sodium, I use a…

So glad you're here! You've got the right idea--focus on staying healthy with good exercise and eating habits, and any weight you need to lose (if you do need to lose--your picture looks beautiful!) will follow.

Start buying some baby carrots. At first, you may not think they taste great, but they ARE very filling, and in time, believe or not, you'll come to crave them! Good luck, and glad you joined MFP!

Please don't worry about minor fluctuations--and a pound or two is going to be a minor fluctuation. Fluid retention does have a lot to do with it. You might be better off weighing yourself less often. You're doing a really good job with all the exercising and watching what you're eating, and progress is never a straight…

I couldn't see the pictures, but good work! That's a lot of weight to lose in a relatively short time, and I'm sure you feel great!

Sounds delicious, thanks for posting! I can't get enough vegan recipes! :)

Congratulations! It's great to get back into smaller clothes!

You're doing a fantastic job, and how wonderful that you can actually feel the difference as well as see it! It's like being reborn into an even better person than you were before! Congratulations!

You deserve a lot of credit for all your hard work. It's paid off beautifully! You look beautiful - very young and vibrant! Congratulations!

That is a WONDERFUL NSV! Thanks for sharing, and keep posting more so we can all cheer you on, too!

Thank you so much for your inspiring story! You're incredibly beautiful, and how wonderful that you're going to be able to be the active mom that you want to be!
