Welcome aboard!

OMG! Yes, heels are one of my NSV that I hope to achieve one day. I want stilettos something bad. Can't wear heels at all, unless the heel is really thick and not too high. You know -- grandma shoes. Also, my foot is fat! And I have stubby toes. Hate my feet. LOL. So hopefully, once I get this weight off, BRING ON THE…

On may way to losing an additional 58 lbs after losing about 46 so far. Do I count? LOL. Feel free to add me.

Funny! You're looking pretty good.

Praying for you and your family.

As others have stated, MFP is for individuals over the age of 18. Also, until your child completes puberty, doctors advise that they should not concentrate on calories in and calories out. HOWEVER, this site has taught me a lot about moderation and accountability. I don't think these are bad values to learn at age 12 at…

No, it is absolutely not wrong to feel totally confident and happy with yourself so much that you don't need another person to validate you or complete you. With that being, said, if life thinks otherwise for you, and you happen to meet that special person -- embrace it. With your current mindset, the relationship would…

Happy for you. You should post pix. :)

Welcome.

Hi Steve. Welcome. Maybe set very small short term goals for long term rewards. I started out with a goal only to lose 1 lb per week in June 2011. As of October 19th, I had lost 38 lbs. I did lose a lot at first, which was great, but then I hit the eventual plateau. But on average, I lost about 8 to 9 lbs each month. I did…

Welcome and good luck!

This is a very easy and very effective weight loss and mangement tool. I love it and lost 38 pounds using it. Good luck.

As others have posted, you look so much happier! Funny how that works in before and after pix. Congratulations to you on your success. Simply beautiful.

Welcome to MFP. Feel free to add me.

Congrats

I am 41. MFP has helped me lose almost 40 lbs. This past Wed, I had lapband surgery to help me lose an additional 75-80 pounds and to keep weight off. I'm feeling better than I ever have in years!!! Would love to share and give support.

Penne Rustica at Macaroni Grill with lots of rosemary bread and a sald with ranch dressing. Or Jalepeno Burger at MoJoe's with homemade chips. Or juicy steak with baked potatoe.

Your weight loss is incredible. You are soooo brave to post these pix and you should be! I think it is wonderful and inspirational to us all. I've lost about 40 lbs, but I don't know if body looks as dramatic as yours. Kuddos to you.

Sorry that you are having a hard day. No, don't binge. But please eat something healthy and nutritious so you will have the strength and energy to help your Mom. Binging will not help the situation or you. Obviously, your mom has weight issues??? So know that YOU do not want to find yourself in the same position as your…

Just enjoy a slice of pizza. Have a salad or some other veggie with it. And drink water! But most of all, enjoy it in moderation!

Incredible! You looked so toned.

LOL. Good for you. I've been doing that with cookies and other goodies left in my office breakroom. I'll sneak and get a little piece and then realize what I'm doing and head straight to the bathroom and spit it out! The only time I caved is when my coworker made cake batter cookie bars. They were so yummy! But I worked it…

Co-workers have said that to me, but I've never been offended. I guess I didn't read too much into it. However, I guess in a way, you are right . . . WT&^&%% . . . I'll need to challenge them on this next time. LOL

Congratulations! Wish it was me. Also, hoping the settlement was not based on something that caused you any degree of pain or hardship.

Good luck with your journey

Hey, I was ready to post! I like fun people. Add me!

Took me a litle over 4 mos. to lose 36 lbs.
