Holland Roden. She is so, so, so beautiful.

I'VE LOST AN ELEPHANT PENIS. I don't know how I feel about that, tbh.

I'll be consuming the high end of my maintenance calories, which for me is like 2200 kcal. I need to double check. So basically I'll still be counting, but I'll be indulging, as well. It shouldn't be too hard if I do things right. My main priority will be dessert (namely: pie(s)) so I'll just make sure I have a super light…

Mostly plain water and tea, sometimes sparkling water, and occasionally juice or chocolate milk. I indulge in soda every once in a while if I have calories to spare (i love me some gingerale), but it's a rare thing.

Update #2 [Nov 21] --- 263.5 lbs

Don't even stress over it. It's just water weight. Yesterday I hopped on the scale and almost had a heart attack when it 'said' I gained 1 lbs (I've been sick and eating a lot of salty soups, so that's probably why)! I hopped on again this morning and was down 3 lbs. Just eat right and drink lots of water and it should…

Definite YAY. I love them. I think they're totally hot. Also, it kind of pisses me off when people say they're "not masculine" or whatever. Like, really? It's hair. Whether or not a dude is masculine or not has very little to do with what's atop his head. Frankly, I love that more and more people are taking things that are…

I've tried quite a few protein bars, and so far the only ones I've come to like are the Quest bars and Clif bars. I buy Clif bars more often since they're more affordable, even though the regular ones contain less protein (9-10g per bar). However, since I'm not lifting heavily or anything, and primarily use them as a…

- The first thing I did was take pictures and measure myself, I think. I can't even tell you how glad I am that I did, since, 57 lbs down, I can't see much of a difference in my appearance unless I'm looking at before and after photos. - I immediately started counting calories, too. Like, from Day 1. I figured out how many…

The vast majority of Lindsey Stirling's music (classical+dubstep). She currently has two albums out and both are absolute gold. If you're curious, check out her song "Ascendance". Never fails to pump me up.

Buy flavored water, or make your own by adding fresh fruit/herbs to it and letting it seep for a few hours. Seltzer/carbonated water is another option. You can also buy those low-calorie artifical sweeteners, like Crystal-Light.

I love this! This time last year...I was really, really sick--chronic stomach pain, heartburn, digestion issues, body aches, etc. I was always exhausted, I could barely sleep through the night, and I couldn't even walk 2 blocks without getting winded. I also had serious "brain fog" and was a major anxiety-ridden and…

Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement!!

Weigh-in #1 [11/13] --> 266.6 lbs (-3.4)

^^ Exactly this. Honestly, OP, I add spinach to everything I can get away with adding it to, i.e.: - sandwiches/wraps - scrambled eggs/omelettes - quiches/casseroles - soups/stews - pasta dishes - meatballs (yup, i shred 'em up to tiny pieces and toss 'em in the ground beef/turkey) - burgers (either as an add-on or a part…

Well, I come from a Puerto Rican family so our Thanksgiving meals have quite a few items that aren't likely to be found on a regular T-day table, lol. Spanish-dishes exempted, we always have: - turkey w/ stuffing - mashed potatoes (w/ turkey gravy) - corn on the cob - cheddar-garlic biscuits - potato salad or macaroni…

Hey, is it too late to join? Because I'm aiming to lose 15 lbs by New Years! I was doing really well (lost 54 lbs since May) but completely fell off the wagon last month and gained almost 2 lbs back. I'm back on track, though, and could really use some extra motivation! CW: 270ish lbs (last weighed 3 days ago) GW: 255 lbs

Great going, everyone! Age: 23 Height: 5'8" SW: 324 (May 2015) CW: 273 GW: 150 51 lbs down, 123 to go.

Yasso's Greek Yogurt Bars - Mint Chocolate Chip. 100kcal per bar and it's oh-so good. Welch's Frozen Berry Blends (Four Berries or Antioxidant Mix) is another fave of mine. I like adding it to greek yogurt and oatmeal, too. Hershey's Bliss, Dark Chocolates. 35kcal per chocolate. I love snacking on tomato salad, too-- just…
