You've done a great job, and I'm glad you've found your re-motivation! I started in late January as well (Jan. 28) and I'm so glad I started when I did. Every time I feel comfortable in my body and in my clothes, I think "I'm glad I did this". And I know you do too! You get extra points for doing it all in the middle of…

Tami, you're awesome. I'm with the others, no way would you catch me hanging off a roof! And you're right about the house. We've moved on, and have a perspective house we'll probably be making an offer on. Becky, I bet you'll be at a size 10 in no time. I would imagine the smallest size I could ever be is 6-8, I have a…

That sounds good, Shirley! I'll replace the meat with "meat" protein crumbles, I'll definitely be trying that! Esther, I need to start soaking up a little sun too! I actually do get an allergic reaction from sun exposure sometimes, I break out in little red spots. I'm reminded every year. :P Connie, you'll get there! At…

@CALIECAT I'm so glad you're getting your computer back soon! I know how bad it is to type on those iPads. And I hope you like your new hearing aids! @eyegirl777va You finished that porch fast! I bet it looks really nice, I know you'll enjoy it so much. Give the scales a few days to catch up. :) @lovesretirement I use…

I like your style!

@CALIECAT I'm really excited about your vegan diet making you feel so good!

@SeeAhtter787 I guess it's like they say, it's just like riding a bike. ;)

You all are awesome! So many people that aren't disabled make excuses, and then you all come along and blow all excuses away. You all look amazing!

Wow, there's a great difference!

Nice!!! You'll drop those last 2 so fast, I know it. I'm so excited for you!

Thank you Janice and Esther. I think the realtor is almost at her wits end, she's the second realtor to represent this woman and her house. Hopefully we will have another chance at it in the future. I just am so frustrated with the way people behave sometimes. And on top of that, in an odd move, our realtor broke up with…

I'm feeling really sad tonight. That house made me want to cry from the beginning and it's holding strong to the end. The lady selling it is dealing with an emotional battle and despite the fact she claims she wants to sell it, she really doesn't. She goes back and forth, and won't let any serious buyers buy it, basically.…

Oh yeah! I forgot there are more reasons! Haha! It really is something, when I stop to think about it. The pure misery I used to experience after binging at night before bed, and the blah that followed the next morning and day. All the empty commitments made before bed to change everything the next day. All the stomach…

:( I'm so sorry for all you're going through. I hope your sister is feeling well again soon. And it is so hard to make that decision for a beloved pet. I fought the idea for so long with our lab years ago. It wasn't until I moved away that my mom finally went through with it. It was for the best, and ended a lot of pain…

I see no reason for you to be housebound, that sounds awful.

Shirley I measure my cream for coffee too! I found out 2 teaspoons taste the same as a tablespoon, so it saves a few calories when I use it. Marie, I'm so glad you're seeing success with your new eating plan! It sounds like the benefits go beyond just weight loss. I hope it continues to give you such great results! :)…

Connie you're doing an awesome job, whether the scale wants to get on board or not. Marie, I'm glad you're enjoying your vegan adventure! Becky, we're here for you and can't wait to watch you succeed. :) Swing the other foot on up, @Sunnyfarm ! You'll do great! :D Stephanie, thank you! My loss has definitely slowed with…

That's so awesome! You must feel so much better. :)

Connie, are you 100% sure the blood pressure medication isn't the culprit? It seems like the only suspicious character in the mix. Your determination is so great, by the way. I would've gotten frustrated and given up long ago. I hope you can determine the problem soon, because you deserve to be losing!

Weighing food is so great. I weighed my shredded cheese as well last night for dinner rather than just filling the 1/4 cup, it really makes a difference with most foods. Like right now I'm eating some Annie's Bunny Crackers, and the serving size says 51 crackers, but I weighed it instead of just counting, and surprisingly…

Nancy, good luck on your screened porch! I hope it finishes fast for you. Marie, I hope you like your new diet plan. It's difficult sometimes to meet all the proteins goals with no meat, but beans help a lot. And sometimes different foods surprise me with their high protein. I think broccoli and kale are good sources of…

The smoked Colby sounds really good.

Happy Hump Day! I'm having issues with MFP. Starting last night it won't let me add anything to my food diary. Apparently a lot of others had been experiencing this too the last couple of days, but MFP said they had fixed the issue. Well, I'm still having the issue. So I wasn't able to complete and close out my diary last…

I think what she did was awesome. Can you imagine being in her shoes while she took the "before" photos, maybe wondering what it would be like to be smaller, and then getting to take the "after" shoot! The photos are beautifully done.

@tenpets I'm really enjoying my extra calories. :) I feel less rigid this way. @CALIECAT I can't stand typing on tablets. They're so frustrating! @SeeAhtter787 You keep kicking so much butt! You're doing awesome. :) @Shirley61 What is your current diet plan? @cristina0000 Enjoy the catering! Atleast you know it's not…

I used the powder. The pre-made drinks would probably get very expensive very fast.

I've been wondering how a banana would be added to it, now I'll definitely have to try it!

That's awesome! Forty-five pounds is something to be really proud of!

I started at 184 lbs. with a goal weight of 140 lbs. (I'm 5' 8") That number seemed right at first, for my height, but about half way through the process I decided on 134 lbs. instead. I'm glad I reassessed my goal, because I'm 5.6 lbs. away from the 140 lb. goal, and I still have plenty of flub to lose. I do think the 134…

You should feel like bragging! You've done an awesome job!!!
