Forever 21+ has some very cute very plus size friendly bathing suits for a really good price. I don't know exactly what your "problem areas" are, but mine is my stomach. The high waisted bikini covers the imperfections but still looks attractive. Bonus they are super affordable. Also, I believe it is Torrid has plus size…

Add me! Operation Summer!

Hit training, body resistance training, planks, leg lifts, Google some other exercises, raw brahs are some good guys to watch their habbits, and drinking plenty of water.

Fantastic job! Keep up the good work! You look 10 years younger in your second picture!

What are your goals? And what are you looking to accomplish? Figure out what you want and look up work outs catered to exactly what you need.

That is fantastic! Congratulations! Definitely some motivation right there! You got this!

I have a whole closet full! Lol they are clothes that I bought when I initially lost a good bit of weight and they are all too tight. They are definitely part of my motivation. We are also going on a beach trip this summer and I want to be comfortable on the beach!

I don't know about you, but when I get hungry I get cranky and impatient! I am a lot less likely to make something healthy or really think out what I am about to eat. I want something fast that tastes delicious that makes me feel better. So I try to be proactive and stick with a reasonable schedule. The only hard part is…

Thank you so much! I didn't realize just how many of us Amazon ladies were out there till a few weeks ago. It is nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with our particular set of struggles. I am going to be a bridesmaid. The dresses are nice. It is a vintage glamorous theme and I believe it will be gorgeous! I tried the…

First off congratulations on the amount you have already lost. Good Job! I am not a big fan of tracking either but I can not express how much it has kept me on goal and helped me understand the things I was putting into my body before! You are so close you will be there before you know it!

You can do it! That is 2 lbs a week. I Googled some activities that burn 500 calories. Things that will be enjoyable and you won't think about it while you are doing work. It is definitely worth looking into! You got this!

Thank you! That makes me very happy. And congratulations on deciding to start! You can do it. Keep your head up and just keep moving!

Thank you!

I'm very glad this helped you today. Congratulations on making the decision to get started. They always say the first step is the hardest. If I can give you any advice it is to not be too hard on yourself. Keep yourself accountable for what you have and haven't done but learn from each "bad day, junk eating day etc" then…

Thank you :)

Most anything I want but in way better moderation. I have also been checking how many calories something would be if I was considering something questionable. Then I decide if it is worth it. But most lunches have been deli turkey meat shaved on whole grain or wheat bread. Mostly lean meats not a lot of other carbs. If it…

Thank you!

Manicure, I have found with long nails it makes it more troublesome to eat certain foods, pedicure, massage, one night at a super fancy hotel with a jacuzzi tub, shaving my legs, taking some extra care on some personal hygiene (self facial, shaving, hair treatments, etc), crafts, cleaning, work, playing games, retail…
