Thank you!

Mrsbigmack, can you please explain a little more to me? I'm sorry if I don't understand all of this and I really appreciate any help you can offer. My current weight is 218 lbs. This is up from 215 lbs just a week and a half ago. I thought it was because I was retaining water and I was getting really flustered about it so…

Good Luck and welcome to MFP! I have been here since July/August and the motivation and support is tremendous!! Always great to have more friends for support...feel free to add me! :smile:

It's so funny to me that when I was a Sophomore in high school I reached and exceeded 200 lbs and it scared me so I lost 60 lbs in a very short period of time. I thought I was so heavy at that time. Over the next 20 years, I have been up and down on the scale up to the point of 271 (that I know of) because I stopped…

WOW!! Fantastic job! You look like a different person!! Thank you for sharing your story! :flowerforyou:

Okay, I am going to give this a try! It will be the first time that I have posted pictures! I started at 267 and I am now down 33 lbs! YAY! I saw a big difference in my stomach, arms and that pesky 2nd chin! Everyone looks great!!

BUMP! Thanks for sharing!

I would like to lose another 7 lbs by Christmas! That would put me at 40 lbs GONE!!

Welcome back!!! You definitely are in the right place! Feel free to add me, if you like! :smile:

Would love to help....add me!

You look fantastic!! Congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing...such an inspiration!! :flowerforyou:

Me too! Please feel free to add me! Without the support of my friends on this site, I don't know that I would have made it this far!!

Great job!! Funny you post this because I was feeling down on myself too after the last few days of eating! I, too, am looking back at pictures of me from when I "seriously" started in September til now! What a difference!! Have an awesome day and keep up the great work!!!

Don't give up!! I agree with Deb, set mini goals for yourself. I started at over 270, on MFP at 267 and mini goals have helped me stay on track and resist the overwhelming feeling of needing to lose 120 to 130 lbs in just one bite! Small bites! You can do it! Feel free to add me! Good luck!

Thank you for this site!! Can't give up the sweet potato casserole, though!! I will give up several other things first! :bigsmile:

My one mini goal was to be at 235 by December 1st...I am currently at 237! 2 lbs to go! Knowing how the holidays will be for me, I would be super happy with 229 by January 1st! (I would normally gain 10 lbs EASY over the holidays) Good Luck everyone!

Great job!!!!

I have lost 30 lbs and YES, I have stretch marks! Lost and gained weight so many times over my lifetime! How about you?

You look AWESOME!! Thank you so much for sharing!! What an inspiration! :flowerforyou:

Love this!! Thank you for sharing!! :flowerforyou:

Hi Yager... I could be completely wrong but I have always taken it as someone wanting the topic to be saved in "my topics" so they bump it so they can refer back to it later. Hope this helps...

MFP has been a great tool for me!! I, too, have been heavy my whole life. I have lost weight, gotten comfortable and then gained it all back. Since joining MFP, I have lost nearly 30 lbs and feel great but instead of letting it go because I feel better, I am still pushing with the motivation of all the wonderful people…
