When it all began for me I was able to loose close to 50lbs., which was actually a good thing for me - still carrying around all the weight from three babies and no time for myself. I had also gotten back into exercising so that definitely helped. Unfortunately I injured my back last July and stopped exercising. Then I ended up going the opposite way and gaining the weight back. Now I'm back to square one.

I'm sorry to hear that you hurt your back - has it corrected itself yet? Have you seen a doctor?

Thanks for your concern. Yes I am fine, it was a crazy thing by the pool that banged me up a little. My then 1.5 year old slipped into the water and I just reacted so fast that I was the one who almost ended up knocked out. I was a little too clumsy given all that I was going through but when you see your baby go under so fast...Thank God everyone was fine - just a moment of panic.

Glad to hear that it wasn't a permenant injury AND that your baby is safe. Good job with the reaction time too!

I lost 123 pounds, it left with her new boyfriend (That's what she weighed)

oooops you ment my weight. I initially was a wreck, didn't eat and dropped almost 30 pounds down to nothing. I've put most back on but much healthier now with working out every day.

Divorce diet...Nothing can beat it!!!

I went from size 8/10 to 0/2, I lost that much, that quickly my skin became lose. The Dr. said nothing, nothing he could do until things started going wrong couldn't force me to eat.

Looking back I see myself as a pinning animal, u know how some dogs will go off thier food if their owner dies. It's a natural process.

If like me u have eating disorders though or are prone to issues of control, body dismorphism and an unhealthy attitude to food. The not eating thing can be quite addictive and a form of self control, so watch out for the slimmers high and ur new bodies guys.

I bet you look awesome, just take a vitiman every day and aslong as you are with in your normal BMI (look up on net) f--k em.....they are probably just jealous...

You go girl.....

I was pretty thin to begin with, so the weightloss really scared me. I went from 105 to below 100 within a few weeks. I knew I needed to eat, but I was so nauseous, I just COULDN'T! I'm holding steady around 100 now and my appetite is coming back.

I went from 135 to 105 in 2 months. I'm a size 2 now... I was a 6/8 before.

13 lbs in a week!

Gawd I gained weight in my marriage so Im looking forward to catching wahtever you guys have.......I need to take off 60 fast so I can get back in the game ....NOT!

I am down about 30 pounds from where I was at when my wife left seven months ago.

It has been a desirable change that I have wanted to make for many years. My weight loss was kick started by "the sickness" of heart break - but I have long since taken a much healthier track with it.

I weigh less now than I did when I first married ten years ago!!!

I think the weight gain over the years was for me some sort of protection at a subconscious level.

Only now am I learning to feel safe in the world again... and the weight is coming off and staying off.

I lost 34 lbs the first month. I looked like hell...at 5'9" I went from a small 8 to probably a 4? I don't know cause I didn't buy new clothes. I didn't have alot of excess weight to lose, I did lose a lot of muscle tone though. I have slowly been able to put it back on, and I'm back in the small size 8 (which is where I'm happy).

There was a point where I could inflict bodily harm on someone with either my pointy collarbone or my protruding hip bones! Eeewwww!

I've lost 70 lbs since January :)

I lost about 10 pounds leading up to the divorce and when I was separated and living alone again, I gained 30 to put me at 200 pounds which is about right for my height (6'3"). I found that I ate healthier, exercised smarter, and shed all the stress in my life in one fell swoop. People tell me that I've never looked better which is nice to hear for a 41 year old guy.
