It's been a couple times...dropped ~25# @ 16 doing Jenny Craig with my mom. Waffled around 220 (I'm 6') for the next 3 years. Then at 20, my parents got divorced. I skyrocketed up to 265 :noway: . I joined MFP then and lost about 40#. Just after I turned 22 (hovering around 225#), I had a bad accident and broke my back.…

Props to everyone on the Firefly tangent. Right there with you. Also... Deadwood (SO unsatisfied with that ending) Torchwood Rome Carnivale (what...I mean just what the heck? A whole lot of lead up to not a whole lot of anything.) Dollhouse (another Joss Whedon gem that was sacked early) Shows that need to die: (I know…

Hi tall ladies!!! No kidding about you all hiding in the woodwork. It's wonderful to see some fellow amazons stalking around. Woohoo! I'm 5'11" myself. SW: (before MFP) 265 CW: 216 GW: 175-180 and fit. I want to keep my muscle mass and curves, just pull those curves in a bit tighter. I came to this # number after talking…

I went through this too little/too much imbalance after I'd been on MFP for a few months and read a couple posts about starvation mode, exercise cals, etc. I logged my exercise and ate back the majority of the calories of my "estimated burn." I plateaued for many months. It did NOT work for me. It took me almost four…

Elephant Bar. We were eating mud pie for dessert and my mom pulled a QUARTER SIZED SCAB out of HER MOUTH after a bite of whipped cream. We both started gagging. ETA: emphasis on the scab *shudder*

Like a fool, I stepped into the diet soda arena. Still don't have much clarity on the subject, now I just know that soda in general for me is a no go.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate everybody's shared experiences.

I'm a work in progress, but hopefully this helps! Height: 5'11" SW: 260ish? (Avoided the scale like a plague) CW: 216.8 as of this morning! Also, there's a tall ladies group specifically for us amazons! Check it out- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/126-tall-women

That's over 3 pounds a week. Is it feasible? Yes. Is it healthy, safe or sustainable? Definitely not. Regardless of deadlines you set, it's accomplishing the main goal of weight loss that matters. Motivation will get you started. Habit and discipline will keep you going. Consistency will equal results. If you start today,…

Bump- I'd like to see the replies to this question as well. Also- OP, LOVE the SN! As a fellow scoobie, I can dig it!

Thanks!! I've lost another 3 pounds since then. I'm so excited!

Hi, I've been on MFP for almost a year. I'm 24, crazy busy with work and several "fur babies" of my own. Feel free to add me!

Right on! You can definitely see a significant difference!!

SkinnyPop- delicious, filling popcorn for when I need something salty. Midnight Reverie- dark chocolate square to meet my sweet tooth. Strawberries, grapes, cuties, light baby bells, nature valley almond bars, apples and peanut butter, ANYTHING w/ HUMMUS.

Girl, you ROCK!!!! I'm so proud to be your friend and to watch all your amazing successes!! Keep it up!

I was so shocked I think I stopped peeing mid-stream. I just kept thinking "Is this real life?"

You are my new favorite. Hands down.

5'11". Almost 25 lbs down from 11 months ago. In progress.

I weighed in over the weekend and I'm down another lb. Here's the visual difference in the last 3 weeks!

Thanks for all the support everyone! We're all in this together :happy: :drinker:

Thanks everyone!

Hi! I'm 5'11" and at my heaviest, was pushing 260. At that weight I was a size 16/18. I'm down to 230 as of yesterday morning and I wear an 11/12 now. My goal weight is 180 and I'm thinking that will put me around a size 6. I'm very curvy and have a heavy frame- my wrists are ~7 inches in circumference. The below photo is…

You are such an incredible inspiration and absolutely amazing. Congratulations on your accomplishments!!! Also- I sent your story to my grandmother, who is 75 and suffering from very similar health problems due to her weight. Thank you providing motivation and hope for those who think that it's impossible.

WOW!!!! I've seen your posts in the forums before and that's AMAZING progress! Congrats!
