Congratulations! That is wonderful! Keep it up. You are changing your life forever

I've struggled with eating disorders for 20 years. I understand what you're going through. 1. So proud of you for recognizing you have a problem! That is step one. You've caught this early. Good job. 2. Talk to someone! Not just on here. If you can, get counseling. Talk to a therapist, not just a medical doctor. If you…

I agree with this. Your body will stop where it's supposed and I don't think your goals are unreasonable. Listen to your body. If you're eating a healthy diet and exercising a healthy amount and continue to lose weight, then your body is not yet where it's supposed to be. Keep up the amazing work. 50 pounds is no small…

This week I finished week 3 of the Couch to 5K running program and was able to run in 3 minute increments faster than I have in a very long time. So excited for next week!

I definitely see a difference between the middle and the bottom pics. Keep up the excellent work!

This is so encouraging. Thank you all for sharing.

From what I've heard, there are a bunch of low quality coconut oils hitting the market and they are not nearly as beneficial for your health as the good stuff.

You go girl! That is tremendous. Can't wait to do the same.

You look amazing! You're almost to your goal! Tremendous.

Keep up the great work! You are doing tremendous. Don't get down on yourself - look at all the progress you've made! How far you've come! You are an amazing woman.

You are looking good! Keep up the awesome work!

Way to go! What an inspiration!

Wow!! You go girl! Heck, you're gone! What an inspiration!

Okay, first of all, I am also morbidly obese, and if there's one thing I've learned from going to the gym, it's that no one is watching you. They're too busy with their own workouts. I know it can be a little scary, but I've only had wonderful experiences - those "muscle head" guys are often very helpful if you have any…

There are higher levels of mercury in fish than there were in yesteryear, but that doesn't mean you have to swear off all fish. The lower on the food chain the fish, the lower the levels of mercury. So tilapia, a fairly small whitefish will have less than say swordfish, which is a game fish that isn't caught until several…

If you're going to do it, reading the book will help you understand their ideas. It's basically a no-white diet, but with the option to occassionally cheat. My husband does it, and he loves it. But you should also know that for people trying to lose weight, it does not have as high a success rate as other programs.

Thanks for sharing!

That is terrific!!! Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! You got back on the wagon and already lost 7 of the pounds you gained back! That is terrific! You know, I fell off the wagon the last couple days. You just have to dust yourself off and reaffirm that you're going to do this, you're going to be successful and today is going to be a good day. For me, I can't…

When I make meatloaf, I add diced tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, along with the spices, egg, and some ground up oatmeal to help hold everything together. You just mix it all up in a big bowl, then put it in the loaf/casserole pan to bake. Yum!

I like the protein shakes I make at home, but I agree that a lot of the pre-made ones have a chemically aftertaste. Additionally, they do taste better very cold. I think that barring medical issues, stuff tastes like it tastes. I didn't get to this weight by only eating when things tasted good OR were good for me. We use…

Yeah. Plus MFP is free.

Way to go girl! You look amazing. Congratulations on your success. Good luck tomorrow at the Warrior Dash - you totally are a badass.

What a tremendous job! You look terrific! Would you share some about your journey? What did you do? How did you stay motivated? What was the hardest thing for you and how did you overcome it? Keep up the great work!

Awesome! Can you share what helped keep you going for two years? Great job. After all the success you've had, you will reach your goal before you know it.

Wow! What a difference! Great job.

Wow!! WTG! You are such an inspiration.

YOU LOOK AMAZING! Thank you for posting these. What an encouragement. You rock. Keep up the good work!

@Shulak - My suggestion would be to repost in the exercise/fitness section. You're more likely to get responses there about this question.

I plan out my whole day, snacks included. That way, when I get hungry, I already have something planned to much on. Usually it's nuts or a piece of fruit, but having go to healthy snacks helps. Additionally, my husband has been very supportive; we no longer bring junk food into the house. That way, I'm less tempted to…
