I'm having a hard time not over eating. I thought I could get away with not logging my food, but I learned after a couple of weeks that I don't feel in control and if I continue down that path I'm afraid I will gain. At least I realized what I was doing and caught myself before it was too late. My current goals are to…

I've realized that I have to come to terms with my stretch marks. They are here to stay...I can either learn to love them or hate them forever and just be miserable. I have now learned to look at them in a different light, instead of seeing them as these ugly things...they are reminders of the fight and battle that I won.…

You look amazing!!! And of course anyone and everyone can! We should all be proud of ourselves!!!

Thank you! I did! I was dress shopping for my cousins wedding

That's great you like your diet, but how long have you been doing it? You're going to get bored with it. Plus you truly aren't taking in enough calories with that kind of workout. I wish you the best, but you should try or a more balanced meal. When you deprive yourself of the calories your metabolism slows down. My…

Thank you!! I'm just glad I found it!

Thank you!!!

My best friend likes to post my some of my most embarrassing pictures from the past out of the blue just to be a butt head lol.

Do any of your family or friends have photos of you that they could share?[/quote] What a great idea!!! I found one in my cousins album on Facebook!!!

Do any of your family or friends have photos of you that they could share?[/quote] My father had this gem taken of me at the beach... [/quote] Oh man. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm definitely going to ask and see if my family has anything.

That's a great idea! I definitely deserve a pedicure! Thank you!

I technically have pictures, just none of my full body. But that's a great point.

I really appreciate everyone's input. I've always had a hard time with body image as most people have. Growing up my parents made weight a big deal and would always point out my stomach or my arms, and of course that would only make me feel worse. I'm now 26 and finally taking control of my health. I feel so much better,…

That's a good idea. I can't look at before pictures, but I can look at my old clothes as reminders. I've gone down 4 sizes in my pants which is pretty awesome. Maybe I'll frame a pair of jeans. Thanks guys.

That's my one regret is that I didn't in the beginning, and that's why I'm having such a hard time now. The picture I posted was from today...I just wish I had some from 14 months ago. Numbers can only say so much.

Congrats!!!!

Body image. I've lost 40 pounds and still counting. I started at 184.4 and now I weigh 143.2. So many people have been complimenting me, but I've been having trouble seeing what everyone else sees.

My moms nutritionist said that alcohol majorly affects your metabolism...so yes you may be staying within your calories, but you may be burning them slower bc you're drinking

I just met my goal weight and it took me 14 months. I lost 40 pounds...184.8 to 144.8
