Great job!! What an amazing feeling!! Keep up the great work!!! :happy:

bump for later!!

Thank you ladies and you are RIGHT...you can't lose weight for someone else! This is ALL about me! Although, I am healthy now, my Dr. makes sure that I remember that I have a 50% shot of having diabetes (both of my parents are diabetic). I want to live healthy and enjoy life! There are WAY too many things that I have…

I am with you!! NEVER again will I weigh 270 lbs!!! Woot woot!!! Going to work REALLY hard to be at 170 this time next year and then I will say the same about weighing 170!! :drinker: Good luck to you in your journey!!!

Fantastic!!! You must feel amazing!! :flowerforyou:

Great job!! I was always the chubby kid too...but just got "tired" and started MFP...have lost 30 lbs and can't wait to get under 200!! Great motivation, thank you! :flowerforyou:

Congrats!!! :flowerforyou: Funny thing is that a similar thing happened to me just tonight. Only difference is I didn't buy new jeans (I keep a few sizes in my drawer--just until they fall off and then they are going to be donated! :happy: ), I just put on my old size to be comfy and they were WAY too loose!!! I actually…

I am sending you a friend request. :smile:

When I first started, I took Hydroxycut Max for about a month. Because they are expensive, the second month, I did it the old fashioned way and I lost the same amount of weight both months. I understand both sides...but, I also don't want the yo-yo effect.

This is ABSOLUTELY awesome!!! Thank you for sharing your story and welcome to MFP!! You are truly an inspiration!! :flowerforyou:

Hi Nancy! Welcome to MFP!! I am also a 37 year old mother of two. There is a TON of support here! Great motivation! Feel free to add me for some additional support!! Good Luck!! :smile:

bump...

I have this same issue...and of course, the first place I lose weight is in my boobage! I have always said that once I lost all the weight I wanted, that I would like to get them done...mostly for self conscious reasons too! Not too big...just to even them out and give a little lift!

I am just like you, hence, the reason I am using MFP to try to get my act together! I am not sure that there is a "cure" but I am very aware of my eating habits. This has been an ongoing issue for me since I was a young child. My mother, whose intentions were always good, treated my emotions with food. If I was sad, she…

Mandy, Thank you so much for putting this together! Is this also where you want us to post our weekly results? Or should we send you a message directly?? Happy Halloween, Ann

I would love to join...my son graduates in May and I am looking to go on vacation in July so this would be a good start to exercising!!

I would love to join too! I am recently under 250 but close enough to join I hope! I am at 241. Could definitely use the motivation!! :flowerforyou:

I have an Android phone...I promise it won't blow up your phone...hehehe! The barcode scanner is the best...makes it much easier to enter into your diary!!

Good Luck to you! I, too, have lost weight in the past (over 50 lbs) and got complacent with my smaller size and thought I could do it alone....but, I quickly realized that I couldn't! If you are looking for friends, you are welcome to add me! :smile:

The more friends the merrier!! Add me!

Great job!! You can do it!!

LOL! Congrats on having to donate your belt!! :noway:
