Absolutely yes! I cut my portion sizes in half if not by more. I lost 91 lbs and have kept it off for a year and a half. I challenged myself throughout my weight loss to see how little I could eat and still feel satisfied and not hungry. I was amazed. Eat slow and pay attention to your body. I would stop eating (a meal)…

Got the job!!!!! Whoop! Whoop!

Thank you! I am so glad the post helped. There are many days I just have to go see the new success stories. It so amazing to see how well logging your food works and just how many successful MFP's there are! It makes my day and re-energizes my efforts. 84 lbs lost is wonderful! I wish you continued success in your weight…

Last year, just 4 months into to my weight loss, I interviewed for a new job (which I got). I went shopping for new outfits for the interview. I was happy that I could purchase size 16's in the women's dept. One year later, I have an opportunity to interview for a new position. Here is my outfit for my new interview. I'm…

Well said. When I started my weight loss efforts--this time (there have been a few others), I decided THIS TIME I was doing it alone and not relying on any other "system" or "program" pill or product. (My wasted money went to weight watchers, Alli.) It's a change in your eating habits that work. Fewer calories in. Simple…

Thank you so much! It's been a great year! After making changes to my eating habits, it was really kind of easy, and exciting to see the scale drop. I've had a blast! I love going clothes shopping again. I love seeing friends I haven't seen in a few years--I love their reactions! These last 30 lbs have been much slower…

My diary has always been open! I better go see what is up! I agree I like to see what people find to eat. I've gotten lots of good ideas that way! Went and checked. It is open to friends. But I accept new friends all the time!

Great job! You look wonderful!

Congratulations! Great work and effort! Now go enjoy it!

Sorry...should be 2012! Nope, it took a year! I was working so hard to get the pictures posted correctly, I missed that mistake! Ha ha thank you I will see if I can correct it!

Laser hair removal saved my life...or at least my confidence in myself... Which has made my life tremendously better! I'm a high school principal--was a teacher when I finally got laser treatment due to the brutal comments made by a few students. It worked great. Don't wait if you are younger. It doesn't work on gray hair…

Love the transformation! You look AMAZING! And I just LOVE that you are sporting a Sooners shirt! I'm an Okie and I love me some SOONERS! Boomer!

51 lbs :-)

30 lbs and people started to notice...close friends and family started to notice around 25 lbs. At 45 lbs, people really started to gush over the loss saying things like "Oh my gosh! You are looking amazing! You've lost so much! How are you doing it!" That's been really fun... :-)

You sound like me! I've been a teacher for 22 years. But this next year I am transitioning to assistant principal at a new high school. Longer commute, longer contract, and LOTS to do immediately when I go back at the beginning of August. I would love to be a part of your group! But I'm not sure quite how to go about…

Feel free to add me! I've been at this since January. My initial goal was 100 lbs, but I might press for 20 more once I reach that! I'm almost halfway to my goal--I've lost 48 lbs in the last 6 months. I log everyday and exercise 3-4 times a week. I am totally addicted to MFP. I get on MFP all throughout the day. It has…

Wow! You look fantastic! They look great on you

It happens to me while walking some of the time. I make sure to drink lots of water right after I walk. It goes away so quickly that I never think about it...until I'm walking again.

You look FANTASTIC! Congratulations on an excellent weight loss!

You look absolutely amazing! Girl! No one would believe you weigh 218 in your last photo! You look FANTASTIC and no where near that weight! Great job!

Please be careful with your choice for surgery. I'm sure you have given it a tremendous amount of thought. I wish I could give you a positive personal response from me. However, check out YouTube. Find "Banded Wendy" she will inspire you to see her transformation. You can follow about 4 years worth of video where she…

You are looking FANTASTIC! Keep up the great work!

I have about 10 of my favorite meals that I eat regularly. But I try to rotate them out so I don't get too tired of them. I not only enjoy these meals, but I also already have them saved in, so logging is so easy! That makes it worth it to me! Otherwise logging can be so time consuming! I do my logging while I am having…

I gave up regular Dr. Pepper...that was about the only thing I really had to work to let go. Now, I do drink diet DP or Dr. Pepper 10. I eat restaurant food, an occasional fast food, and what I make for the entire family at home--no special diet meals for me. I'm not wild about many vegetables--I try to squeeze them into…

236 and size 14W

Ammmmaaaaazzzing! I am so thrilled for you! I look forward to joining you in that milestone! Time for a new celebration pic!

Ummm. due to my new found addiction to MFP, I am on ALL throughout the day and night. I always faithfully log my meals--sometimes I have to do it real quick or real late... Sometimes my days are jam-packed and I can't get to it, but if I get a slow-down, I log! I do however, wait to read community boards until I get home…
