You look like a supermodel! Congratulations p.s. love your decking & garden shrubs too lol :happy:
-
^^^^ This! an amazing difference, you must've been doing lots of toning as well as weight loss. you look fabulous. well done!
-
Love this thread - made me laugh. Experiencing the same thing but just either ignore the comment or tell them to "back off"! You should definitely get another dog - they don't judge you :)
-
^^^^^ This! I was doing quite well but then have been finding it really difficult to stick to my daily calories recently so I started tracking my sugar intake - wow! an eye-opener. It is scary just how many everyday foods (even savoury ones) are loaded with sugar! I don't believe your metabolism slows just because you (as…

When you're nice and tall and if you also have a large frame, the BMI charts are not so clever. I'm also 5ft 10 and started at 233 lbs. I'm quite a bit older than you though so although my weight was deceptive to others, I had started to feel lots of aches and pains and breathing problems which I felt were all due to the…

Congratulations, you look incredible and now actually look your age - I can't believe how much older you look in your before picture! I've lost a similar amount of weight but not done my 'after' picture yet. I've stalled a bit so maybe that's the motivation I need! Thanks for posting your success :)
-
Incredible difference! well done, you look amazing. Thanks for posting, MFP before and after shots really helped me along the way and continue to. I will post some up when I eventually get to goal. Wasn't brave enough to take any undies shots though!
-
Well done - the middle photo shows the most dramatic change, your tum looks smaller and much more toned! Just reading about the Jillian Michaels DVD's (assuming this is one of hers) makes me come out in a cold sweat, they sound pretty hard so to me, it's an immense achievement for anyone who completes one! :D
-
Terrific post and advice and you look incredible - you looked good before but you look great now... congratulations!

height = 5ft 9.75" age = (nearly!) 45 yrs daily cals 1200 I always eat my exercise cals back but only because I claim conservative amounts e.g. I do 2 x 1hr moderate paced walks which I claim 75 cals each for. I walk to exercise my dog and to ensure I can have my 'treat' for the day which is a coffee light frappuccino (I'm…

I've been wearing Coco-Chanel for the last 23yrs and get very frequent comments on how nice I smell. A lot of friends have bought it but said it doesn't smell the same on them! It is a bit pricey but I absolutely love it and it's the one extravagance I don't seem able to give up. I've only veered away a couple of times and…

I've spent a lot of time in years gone past worrying why some guy didn't bother to call and imagining that it must be something wrong with me but on occasion I have found out that it's been something completely random and nothing to do with me - some guys lose numbers / phones; some guys have girlfriends/wives they hadn't…

Just wish someone would ask me to marry them! Glad you had a good shop and who knows maybe you could start a trend for wearing wedding dresses 24/7!

I think peeps of the same sex can be a bit competitive with each other (especially when trying to attract the opposite sex) and sometimes can sabotage each others good efforts not meaning to be unsupportive but it makes them feel better about their own guilt or shortcomings! I'm at the point where I've lost quite a bit of…
-
Yep I am colder now but I would rather be cold and have the option of wearing more layers or snuggling under a blanket, rather than being heavy and sweaty and being unable to peel my skin off! I used to feel so self conscious in social situations where I'd break out into a sweat and feel like everyone else was staring at…
-
Sorry, haven't got these scales but have often wondered what the daily fluctuations must look like as seem to go up and down a lot in the week but then (thankfully) down on weigh-in day! I have been weighing myself daily or every 2 days but only 'check-in' on MFP on the same day weekly and my digi scales only round up or…
-
Wowee! easily half the woman you used to be! look at those skinny arms and waist, you look great :)
-
Don't any of you girls ever sit down? I've got long legs so when I sit down, it's a level playing field and I no longer 'tower' over others ;)
-
Oh how I LOVE this thread, it's made me feel so much better to know there are so many of you having the same experience. I've lost quite a bit of weight and friends have started telling me "you need to stop now or you'll get too thin" but I have to explain to them I'm still firmly in the 'overweight' range and I'm going to…
-
If you're 8" taller then you shouldn't compare weight loss - if you actually convert your weight loss into a % (of your total body weight) then yours is the more impressive achievement :) and remember the more overweight you are then (usually) the quicker the weight will come off initially but it will even out as you both…
-
Very well done! There will probably be a load of comments from peeps telling you more than 2lbs per week is not healthy but at 260 SW, it's inevitable that you will lose more early on. Keep up the good work and glad you are enjoying the Vegetarian diet from a fellow veggie :)
-
A lot of people said things like " you look really well " and then I'd reply " yeah I've lost over 3 stone in weight " and then they'd say "yes, I really thought you'd lost weight!". My dad visited and didn't say a word to me until I nearly screamed at him "Can't you tell I've lost weight?!" The other thing you have to…
-
Wow, you slimmed yourself to hotness :)
-
Congratulations on an amazing achievement in adverse circumstances. You have given your daughter a healthier mum and importantly given her the opportunity not to go down the path of fried foods and weight gain - well done! You look great in your NOW pictures, long my your success and your salad eating days continue :)
-
Agree with this! I've always eaten my exercise cals back however, I have always claimed a 'conservative' amount as I think some of the exercise cal stats are overcalled. Also agree that the best indicator is if you are experiencing hunger pangs (which I usually am if I exercise when only on 1200 cals per day). And for…
-
Isn't it amazing the extent weight can actually puff your face out (mine did) - your incredible weight loss has allowed the real you to be revealed and how pretty you look. Very well done on your success :D
-
Cinched in at the waist with a fashion belt - nice :) Well done on your phenomenal success to date. You can break the plateau :D

I am a coffee addict and love creamy coffee. I now have a (starbucks) Grande Coffee Light Frappacino which is 110 calories ( I walk 90-120 mins a day just so I can have this!) and then I drink mainly Tea with Semi Skimmed milk at home. Occasionally I do have a Kenco Cafe Latte Sachet coffee which is quite nice and about 70…
-
Agree with many of the other posts. I eat NET 1200 cals per day as I have always eaten my exercise calories back (make sure the calories calculated are reasonably accurate as some items in the database seem very over the top). I do 1 to 2 hrs of moderate walking a day which for my current weight gives me an extra 160…

Wow! you look like a totally different person! That's a heck of a weight loss and achievement - Congratulations!
