Way to go! As a fellow amply-busted lady, I know that running can be ridiculously difficult. That's so great.

This has been my experience as well. Just being forced to pay attention to how much I'm eating is indispensable.

This might be the solution to my sweet drink addiction; thanks for the idea!

These are all such great tips! Thanks to everyone for the advice; I think these will help me make some meaningful changes. It looks like I need to go get a food scale!

I really have to start doing this. I always get hungry in the mid to late afternoon, and that can lead to trouble.

I have a weird thing with milk, where if I drink low fat or skim, my brain thinks of it as a "drink" (i.e., not a big deal) and I consume more without even thinking about it, whereas whole milk registers to me as a "food" and I'm careful about only drinking a reasonable amount. But that may be just my personal oddness.

This is totally something I need to incorporate. Thanks for the advice!

What a great idea!

I love the alarm idea! I also have a desk job, so this would be a great way to remind myself to get on my feet more. Thanks for the great advice!

You look so good! This really encourages me; I haven't been below 200 lb in probably four years. I can't wait for that day, and you've inspired me to believe it will happen :smile:

I definitely see a difference! You are doing great!

That's wonderful!

Congratulations! Not just for your weight loss, which is awesome, but for successfully surmounting the emotional blocks that make getting healthy so difficult at times. I'm inspired.

That's wonderful! And it's not just a well-deserved brag; it's encouragement to people like me who hate sweating that we can do it too!

Wow, I didn't realize just how nice and helpful this community was; I should have done this a long time ago. Thanks everybody for the responses and kind words :smiley:

Wow, congrats! Thanks for responding :smile: I will definitely add you.

Yay! Thanks so much :smile:
