Wow! Well done! You are beautiful.

WOW! What a great story. Well done. Your son is adorable!

Bahaha! Me too! ;)

Good to know! I have sort of assumed it overestimates how many calories I've burned.

I have wondered whether the MFP calculator accounts for sex and age.

Looking good!

Awesome feeling! Way to go!

You look fantastic and you have done so well! This post is super inspiring, for one because you didn't lose 57 pounds in four months. This just goes to show how persistence pays off. Well done and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

I like my food scale, too.

I just read the introduction to a South Beach Diet cookbook I purchased the other day and reading about what high glycemic index foods do to the body was a real "aha!" moment for me. I've often wondered why I can't stop once I start on the sweets and other simple carb heavy foods. I always thought that I lack willpower. It…

Thanks for the friend adds. I can use all the help I can get. :)

Well done! You look fantastic.

^Don't weigh every day. I agree. I am much more successful when I do weigh myself daily, although I admit it can be exasperating.

Really? Because in my experience people who say that are being busy-body jerks. How is it acceptable to go up to a woman and ask that? Is it also acceptable to go up to a woman and say, "Jesus, you are FAT!"? Argh.

Yowza--you are smokin'! Well done!

Definitely not polite; definitely rude, rude, RUDE. It is just hurtful to someone who isn't. You don't even have to be "fat" or have any kind of weight issue to have someone ask you that. I once had a woman ask me that when I was younger and had a perfectly flat stomach. When I looked at her perplexed, she said, "Oh I…

Not to hijack, but if there's one thing I have noticed about me, it's that I have an excuse for what's tempting me regardless of the time of year. In the summer, it's beer and BBQs; Halloween it's the candy (I drooled when I saw the candy corn and pumpkins out . . . in August! What's up with that?); then it's the holidays…

Good job!

Wow! What an amazing transformation. You've worked hard and it shows!

You're doing GREAT!

Well done!

Nice! Congratulations!

Huh, and all this time I thought consuming fewer calories than your body uses was how you "burned off" fat.

Nice abs! Good work!

No offense against all the "young looking" people here, but reading how EVERYONE gets guessed younger makes me realize people just don't have a clue about age. I know I am not a good age guesser. At all.

People often tell me I look younger than my age, but I once played "fool the guesser" at an amusement park and he guessed me right on. I probably look my age, technically, but I think a lot of people think 42 is old and decrepit. :P

You look beautiful!

I once heard people debating whether they're vegan. Apparently they have lactic acid it them... ?

Honestly, I do not like negativity or gossipy stuff. It brings me down even when it doesn't involve me. I can't watch reality tv or talk shows, even. I guess I'm sort of wimpy in that regard. :)

Oh, I see someone beat me to it. I am also suggesting hot tea!
