I'm with the first person who responded. Just stop wearing them. For years I struggled with finding comfy knickers and finally one day my friend suggested I try going commando. I did and I've never looked back. It's super comfy and I find it makes me feel just a wee bit sexy. Of course I still have some pairs in the drawer…

Absolutely amazing! You should be extremely proud. Well done!

A few people starting commenting after I had lost the first 20 (at 40lbs lost now) but people really starts to notice when I hit the 30-35 lb point. It seemed that overnight people started noticing. Before that I got a lot of 'your hair looks great' comments even though I hadn't changed my hair. I found it amusing, it's…

Amazing! Congrats, that is awesome. You look incredible.

What an inspiration! You, my dear, look FANTASTIC! You must be so proud of yourself and feel like a million bucks. Keep up the awesome work. I am going to add you as a friend if you don't mind...

Awesome!! You look amazing. You just gave me motivation to get my bad a$$ery on today. Off to the gym I go...

Great job! You should be very proud of yourself. 30 pounds is no small task.

Thanks everyone. It feels awesome!

Lol! I know, I'm finally able to ....ahhhh ....manicure without the aide of a mirror. Little victories!

Hahah!! I told him the same thing. He looks about 5 months pregnant now. Lol

Thanks everyone! Love it! I'm ok with curvy.

Thank you - she is super excited I don't really have any decent before shots because I didn't think of taking them. But below, on the left was a pic of me last summer at the Grand Canyon, pic on the right was taken a few weeks. I'm down another 5lbs since it was taken. I'm not sure if I actually see much of a difference.…

Getting yourself there is the hardest part but you can do it! I join the gym six weeks ago and like you I was afraid I couldn't get up the motivation to go. I forced myself to go and I LOVE it! I go every other day and would go everyday if I could find the time. It's amazing how good you will feel. Good luck!! Just do it!

37.6 lbs lost since Jan. 21 of this year. 60 - 65 left to go. Great job everyone!!

I have become addicted to buying shirts. Now that I can fit into shirts from any store I can't stop shopping. I have only been able to shop at plus size stores for years and now that I don't have to I'm like a crazy women. I'm not buying crazy expensive shirts because I know they will be too big soon but I am buying ALOT…

It sure is great! Now I am wondering why I didn't get off my butt sooner. :) Congratulations on your loss and achievements. Awesome work!!!

Hi - I'm looking for more motivated friends too. I have added you. Looking forward to seeing your journey. :smile:

Thanks everyone! It's amazing how my focus has changed. Originally I was only concerned about losing the weight then once I hit 30lbs lost I switched my focus to exercise. I still need to lose about 60lbs but I know if I get my body in shape and watch my calories the weight will come off.

Thank you!! At least I know I am doing it right. I do put the weights so that the last few reps are a struggle. Can I ask what DOMS stands for? I'm new!

Ya, I know it's a lot in a short period of time but to be honest the first week I dropped 11 pounds just by cutting out the Coke, sugar and watching my carb intake. The first 25 pounds came off pretty easily, the last 10 I've had to fight for. It's ok, I'm definitely up for the challenge. Thanks!! I'm not annoyed or…

That was my thinking too - maybe my stretch marks were stretched out by the fat. If they appear cause I'm losing the fat that was stretching them out, I'm ok with that.

This is my favorite part so far. I can reach into my linen closet and grab any towel, I don't have to go hunting for the larger ones. Also, I guess because my butt is getting smaller I've actually had to move the seat of my car forward.
