That's awesome!! Great job!!

When I started (before I joined MFP this past October) I needed to lose 240 lbs. I've lost 181 lbs so far with 59 lbs remaining. I recently found I have a (non-celiac) gluten sensitivity and am basically a beginner at gluten free eating. I'd love a new friend to share our experiences in regards to our weight loss (and…

I love the Danskin line and Avia line, both at Walmart and pretty cheap. I got several workout tops for only $2-$3 each.

When I was mowing the lawn on the rider this week I was shocked to see when I turned the wheel for corners the muscles in my forearms actually stood out quite a bit! I don't ever remember that happening before.

I started out with 240 lbs to lose and still have 60 lbs to go. (Possibly more. Depends on how happy I am when I get there.) Feel free to add me. :)

That I need to get off my phone and butt and start getting ready for my appointment.

Exactly the same for me! I do a lot better when I'm on my own. When I go out to meet my family for a party or get together I don't go crazy, but I'm not nearly as diligent as I am at home. For example, we went out for Father's Day to chinese. It took me 5 days to recover. Plus chocolate and other assorted candy. LOL

I do my best to plan ahead calorie-wise for a drive-thru/eat out meal. I usually have 1 Timmy Ho's meal a week. A BLT sandwich, 1 donut and an unsweetened iced tea. If I'm really hungry for a burger I can usually fit in a happy meal, but nothing else because at 1300/Day there are just to many calories in anything else. If…

My chihuahua, Isis, like to take walks with me though I usually have to carry her after about 20 minutes. She's to little to walk the entire distance. She loves going with me more on bike rides though. Then she gets the view without any hard work on her part. :smiley:

- Being at a healthy weight for the first time in my adult life. - Shopping at any clothing store. - Hopefully lose a foot size too. (Hey, I can dream!) - It's been 6 years since my Husband passed away. I'm finally at a point emotionally where I'm ready to meet someone and hopefully start a new relationship. Losing almost…

I can actually feel my hip bones and collar bones now. :smiley:

Haha Love the meatball reference! Cute! Not really into rugby, but if you don't mind that... great! :D I've lost 178 lbs, but still have 62 lbs to go and log in everyday. :smiley:

I've lost almost 180 lbs and while my band size keeps going down my cup size is going up. I went from an A cup to a C cup and I still have a little over 60 lbs to lose. And yeah, they're as droopy as a basset hounds ears. On the bright side I can camoflauge it with good bras. Plus, I'd always wished my girls were bigger. :D

Definitely get a second opinion!! Sounds like by the time the Dr decides to look into it deeper you might be in serious trouble.

It's taken me a couple weeks to work up the courage to post this. I didn't want anyone to think I'm just being stupid... From senior year in high school on I was morbidly obese. My highest weight hit at 400 lbs. Now that I've lost over 170 lbs I'm trying to be more self conscious about the way I walk. Like walking with my…

I'm with you there! I'm 5'7. Mine are 25" and they are u-g-l-y. After losing 170 lbs I have horrible wrinkly folds. I've only lost 3/4" in them since January too. Boo hoo LOL Try to think more about the positives in your weight loss so far! :) My fav positive is my boobs stick out farther than my stomach now. :wink:

You look great!! I love that top too!!

Today on a whim I tried on the next size down jeans in my 'to small yet' drawer. I finally fit into them. I'm also loving that my girls are sticking out more than my stomach now. LOL

Finishing up The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey.

I adore your dress! You look so great in it too!!

You look wonderful!! Great work!! Love your smile too!

There are various flavors of Sobe. Sobe has no calories and low carbs. Strawberry Dragonfruit is my fav along with the coconut flavor which is hard to find now. :( There is Sparkling ICE. It's carbonated water with lots of flavors including Green Apple, Black Raspberry, Mango, etc. That brand has no calories or carbs.…

S'mores, Watermelon, Blueberries, Cherries... The list could go on and on. LOL

I try to avoid aspartame as much as I can simply because it seriously aggravates my fibromyalgia. I try to stick to flavored waters that don't have any.

I cycled to the middle of town this morning and then sat by the lake for about 20 mins. Cycling there is easier. It's almost all down hill. Getting home is the hard part. I'm a bit disappointed I had to walk up hill to get home most of the way. But I try to remind myself that just a couple weeks ago I thought it would take…

Eeyore's my favorite Winnie The Pooh character. I can definitely relate to his mindset. :smiley: Feel free to add me if you like. I've lost 170 lbs, but still have 70 lbs to go yet. :wink:

I was set at 1200 calories too, but mentally it was to restrictive. I bumped it up 100 calories and what a difference it made for me. Most days I don't need the extra 100, but just knowing it was there for days I need it (especially for during PMS) it helps me cope better. My favorite 100 or less calorie snacks are...…

This is totally girly, but I'm actually seeing my girls much more defined and now seperate from my stomach.

I'm 5'7, currently at 230 lbs. Goal weight is 150-160 lbs.

My chronic pain from fibromyalgia has lessened considerably!! My self-confidence is way up. I can wear jeans now!! I look forward to getting out of the house instead of mostly hiding in the house. There are oh so many more changes.
