In the past I've gotten very frustrated (jealous) of all the people who have lost 25 pounds in a few months when it has taken a year for me to lose that amount. But those feelings don't get me anywhere. Each one of us has a different journey, whether it's surgery, medication, or whatever. My body is losing at the pace it…

I've gained up to 6 pounds, but they were gone the first week back. Keep active and try to limit the sweets. Have a great time!

I've been asked this before a first date!

SO TRUE I have the ugliest tattoo on my lower stomach, left hip and ribcage. Was supposed to be a Phoenix. I've been getting laser treatments for 2 + years and it's not half gone yet. Didn't do research. Didn't take enough time to think about it. All my other tattoos are beautiful. This one is an eyesore.

Cheese wrapped in bacon?

I brought my mom

If you're that good, demand he come to you, and bring you something nice.

I stopped eating pasta and rice completely. I eat a little bit of bread occasionally. I only drink diet soda. Most of this was for health reasons, but the tiny portion of these things that I can have, to me, not worth it. As for eating at night, there are different schools of thought. I'm best if I stop eating by 9pm.…

Hide this for me

I have some warrants

Just released from prison.

A really good book, Really good cheese, Really great chocolate, And my husband and I in a suite in Mexico, celebrating anything and everything.

Really? I did not care for the birthday cake Oreos. I confess that I haven't eaten much today. I've struggled all week with eating and exercise due to a) a painful burn on my side that I got from a tattoo removal session. It went from painful to excruciating to infected to still excruciating. I have no clue when this will…

I only have experience with seroquel, but what is working for me is low carb moderate protein moderate fat. I lose slowly, but I lose. I also exercise a lot, usually 5-6 days per week. This diet advice was given to me by a doctor who specializes in metabolic medicine and a registered dietitian. >50 carbs per day and…

Great change. It was a vacation that first inspired me to lose weight many years ago as well. Congratulations on the loss!

If your cable company has Ondemand, there are a lot of free workouts on there.

Personally, I wouldn't eat them back. Some people eat 1/2 their exercise calories, but since this isn't purposeful, I'd leave them.

Never had chai without some kind of milk or cream. Did you ask for it to be just sugar free or no milk too?

Love Brie, smoked Gouda, port wine cheese, goat cheese....I went to the Cabot cheese factory when I was in Vermont a few years ago. It was Awesome!!!

This is so true. That being said, I work out at home. I went to gyms for years and people spend more time looking at themselves than at anyone else.

I log my workout in MFP. It shows 2x in Fitbit but doesn't double count it. It only show once on MFP and you might get a few extra calories for steps but mine usually go away by the end of the day.

OMG your waist is so tiny. Great job! You look amazing !!!

It's taken me over a year to lose 22 pounds. I eat 1270 calories a day > 50 carbs and work out 6 days a week. I eat maybe 1 cheat meal a month and on vacation. I am hypothyroid and insulin resistant. Be happy you are losing at the rate you are. It could always go slower.

I'm 48 and I will never give up. Age is just a number. It's your state of mind that counts.

CIZE is dancing. Check it out on YouTube or CIZE.com

I did CIZE and loved it and am on week 7 of Les Mills Body Combat, which I like, but I actually lost more inches with CIZE. I think I'll be trying Insanity or T25 next.

About 100 calories in cream for my coffee. Totally worth it.

If you go to Chicos, their sizes go from 000-4. Size 1 = a size 8 Size 4 = a size 22. Crazy right?

Can see changes in your belly and your back/shoulders. Great job!

Can you call the host and let them know you'd like to bring something? Then make something that everyone can eat that's heAlthy. I guarantee that everyone loves it more than all unhealthy high calorie stuff.
