  • Way to go! It's important to step outside of your comfort zone sometimes. Also, changing up your regular routine helps to keep your body guessing!
  • What?! No fellow Badgers here?! (I'm from Wisconsin, USA - the land of beer and cheese)
  • I love your attitude about the whole thing. When I first started MFP, I too got OCD! It's the perfectionist side of me for sure. You look beautiful in your pictures. Let me rephrase - you looked beautiful in your before AND after photos, but you look simply glowing in the after photos. It's also a goal of mine to one day…
  • You look great! Totally rooting for you to meet your goal!
  • Seriously this is one of my goals!!!
  • i'm in the same boat too. anyone can feel free to add me. i lost close to 70 pounds at the beginning of the year, lost my motivation, and now i have gained some of it back. at my smallest, i bought some new pants, but because of the gain, i haven't been able to wear them. super frustrated! i know i can do this, but i would…
  • Getting back on the wagon after falling off for about a month...I'm officially back at it and trying to win another Biggest Loser Challenge at work
  • I am still flying high after what happened to me this last weekend. I have an interview this Friday, so I needed to go shopping for a new outfit as all of my dress pants are now quite large and make me look frumpy. On my way there, I was hoping and praying that I would be down a full size and that the next size down would…
  • to have enough money to pay off my credit card debt and student loans. basically have enough money to not need a credit card or loans. :-) and it would be nice to be able to eat whatever I want and not gain weight. lol
  • Your story is amazing. So glad I found it. :-)
  • You look beautiful! It is an amazing accomplishment to lose that much weight AND make it to onederland in the process! Congrats!

  • Oh boy. Weight can be such a sensitive, emotional topic, especially for us women. She may be behaving the way she is for a number of reasons, like: - she may be afraid of failure (especially since you are having success) - if she does start a healthier lifestyle, she will be forced to confront her weight (which she may…
  • Congrats! I am getting close as well. I have 13.1 more pounds to go. I can almost smell it!!!
  • i can totally relate. my schedule and routines of the regular work week keep me on track. the weekends just seem like a free for all! I lost about 60 pounds fairly easily (and I have a lot to lose), but I found that over time, I have become somewhat complacent, particularly on weekends. I found that we were eating out a…

  • I would definitely talk to your doctor about it. You didn't specify which leg was bigger, but it is common to develop blood clots in your legs, particularly the left one. If one calf is larger, it could mean that your circulation is poor and you may be more susceptible to blood clots (which speaking from experience, are…
  • I participated in one at the beginning of the year, and I am in another one now. I won the first contest and got $150. I lost 40+ pounds in that competition. This second competition is a bit more challenging as my weight loss has slowed down some. The 2nd week of the competition I also gained weight, so that didn't help at…
  • To get below 300#, first and foremost. I want to be more comfortable in my jeans and be able to wear some of the smaller clothes in my closet that I haven't worn in forever (but I have held onto them, hoping that someday I WOULD be able to wear them)!
  • if I can't find something similar in the database, or if there is too big of a range in calories (a chicken sandwich from one place is 300 calories, and a chicken sandwich from another place is 800 calories, for example), I log the components. I have to do this a lot when I go out because our city is full of non-chain,…
  • you look so different...not just around the midsection either! I notice a big difference in your face. I smiled at your post-its, because I have often thought about putting up some for myself as well. sorry to hear about your wife. my husband is still alive, but he is not around (going to med school in another state). I…
  • Came to the realization yesterday that the dress pants I wear to work won't last much longer. I had my phone in the pocket, and the weight from my phone made them feel like they were about ready to fall off. I have felt a difference in my clothes, but I haven't been able to really see a difference in how I look. I've been…
  • I am hoping to get to Twoderland soon too. I have made some serious progress, but I still have about 23 pounds to go. When I see that number on the scale though, I am going to be one happy camper!!! Good advice about eating in. I need to get back to doing more of that. I have been eating out far too often lately, and I…
  • Kinda funny...I noticed some extra room in my bra the other day. It will be nice to have a smaller cup size, because I have always had a large chest and the excess weight made it even BIGGER. I just hope that they don't look too deflated, like after I had my daughter. Lol.
  • Wowzers! You look great! Congratulations!
  • We are kind of close... SW: 370ish CW: 327 GW: 170 (and we will see how I feel) Height: 5'9" Age: 33
  • you look awesome! in some of your pictures you remind me of Kerry Washington. :smile:
  • You look like a completely different person! So amazing!!! Way to go!
  • I have had episodes like that - all medically related. When I was 14, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. The most effective kind of medicine for controlling my kind of epilepsy has several unfortunate side effects, one of which is weight gain. This is not good for someone who already has a weight problem! I gained about 50…
  • I couldn't wait to come on this morning and contribute something to this thread, because I had two NSVs last night. My daughter and I went to the Subway in town last night prior to her dance class. I used to never like eating there because the booths seemed unusually small and my stomach rolls would be smushed up against…
  • Oh...if things were only that easy. I have a major sweet tooth. I can pass up a bag of chips without blinking an eye, but put a cookie/cake/ice cream treat/pie/any other dessert or pastry item...and you better watch out, because things may get ugly! Hahaha! I try to make better choices in terms of desserts - like choosing…
