Good for you! You are the bomb.com! :happy:

You look fan-freaking-tastic! Great work. I know how you feel, after losing 100lbs I really didn't think i looked any different until I did a side by side comparison and the pictures told a much different story than the mirror did.

I'm down 124 pounds and I still have bad days/weeks and will it's part of the deal. I gained a couple of pounds last week but I know I'll lose it by next week. I know it's hard to think this way but you've got to remember that you've accomplished something even when you don't see a difference in the mirror or on the scale.…

Wow some of you have really interesting jobs. I'm a Mommy to an awesome 3 year old boy, step-mom to girls my husband's girls who are 23 and 18, wife to the greatest man in the Universe (seriously) and a Corporate Cog. In my spare time I have a website devoted to helping other breast cancer survivors (it's really just my…

The 24 Hour Fitness I used to use was great but just the gym and the staff at the gym. When I called to cancel my membership due to health issues they did the same thing to me. I totally got the run around and was told to call back for days in a row until the deadline to cancel my membership for the following month was…

Great work!

I lost a bunch of weight and then as soon as I stopped taking it I gained it all back plus some. The problem with all diet pills is that they don't teach you how to eat healthy or how to properly exercise so as soon as you stop using them you just go back to the same old bad habbits. For me the side effects were not worth…

Vent away my friend, vent away.

I am so glad your hubby is back home, is he doing okay? I know what you mean about hospitals and their terrible food options have spent a lot of time in hospitals and it is amazing to me that the health care industry is so irresponsible about the food selections. Good for you for packing your own food! You can get back on…

Amen!

BBQ tofu kabob: Cut tofu into 1" cubes and marinate on your favorite BBQ sauce for a few hours (even over night), the longer you marinate the more BBQ flavor it will have. Cut up your favorite veggies into similar sized pieces Stick it all on skewers, I usually do veggie, veggie, tofu, and grill. You can use a BBQ or a…

As crazy as it sounds you may not be eating enough. You need to eat at least half of your workout calories in order to fuel your body. If your body doesn't feel like it's getting enough fuel it will slow down your metabolism in order to reserve the fuel it is getting. And have you measured lately? It could be that you…

I started on August 21st, 2009.

Mine wasn't in there. :-(

Best problem ever! Amazing! Isn't it shocking how well hard work pays off?

Done! Thanks for the reminder!

Yes it does! Great work!

Please eat something. Your body needs more fuel than you are giving it.

Well, I liked you before but that is amazing! It feels so good when you start being able to wear your favorite things again!

You're probably not eating enough. You body needs calories to burn especially if you're working out that much. Are you drinking enough water, that's a key point with my weight loss?

Well done! Sounds like you're off to a good, healthy start!

Great work! I am sooo happy for you!

Amazing accomplishment! I can't wait for the size 12's, I guess I need to get out of the 18's first. :wink:

I hate to do this but I have to agree with the others. He has to want to do it! How does the old saying go? You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. When he's ready he'll do something about it, until then the best thing to do is lead by example. My husband has had a weight problem his entire life and it…

Done! :drinker:

Welcome to MFP! I'm 39 too, I'll be 40 in January and from what I understand losing weight is hard no matter how old (or young) you are. :-) I hope you find this MFP to be as useful a tool as I do! Good luck to you on your journey.

Brilliant work! You should be really proud of yourself! And. by the way, you look smokin' hot!

Mmmm, that sounds delicious and super easy! I'm gonna have to try that.

Have I told you lately that I love you? No, really. :-) As with all things in life if you don't have to work for it you will never truly appreciate it, why should weight loss be any different? The quick, easy fix does not allow you to truly appreciate your body and all that it takes to keep harmony between the physical and…
