I played tag with my kids this past weekend without feeling like my heart was going to explode, getting shin splints immediately, or my knees hurting! It was so fun!

Wow!! What an accomplishment! You look stunning!!

I’m attending a wedding this spring with a whole bunch of old college friends I haven’t seen in ages! I want to spend a stupid amount of money on a fabulous dress at Nordstrom and rock it! So many choices!! P.s. Is it tacky to wear red?? It’s a pm wedding and it’s my color! But also want to respect the bride and not be…

Hey Felix! Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational journey! Just wanted to wish you good luck today!

Oh man. Thank you so much for sharing this important PSA so that others can help protect themselves! That said, I am so sorry you have gone through this! How scary!! It sounds like you are on your path toward recovery now. Sending positive vibes your way!

Boom baby!! Feels good to hit these mini goals! When I started, I was a Kohl’s 16 and now I’m a Lulu 10 (albeit a bit snug! But at those prices, gotta make it last! 😱😆) Next mini-goal... single digits! Happy New Year everyone!!

This makes perfect sense! Thank you for all the all the info! So cool to understand some of the physiology behind my plateau and bingeing behaviors.

It’s $75 in my area. It’s an easy test- the worst part of the test is the nose clips! 😆 I had been eating about 1400-1600 before Halloween, but that candy-binge wrecked my resolve. As I struggle with binge eating, since then I have been on a whiplash of hangry 1400 calories/day, combined with ‘good’ 1700 calorie days,…

I just got through sitting on bleachers for an hour while my kids were at gymnastics. My bum is so sore! And my jeans didn’t even give me a severe case of sitting muffin top like they used to!

Getting drunk and binge eating 😆

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/46653/taco-seasoning-i/ I decrease the salt to 1/2tsp. and omit the red pepper flakes because my kids are whiners! I make a triple batch and keep it on hand in an old spice jar! 😋

I LOVE fruitcake. Love it. And I think of how wrong Pee-Wee Herman is every time I eat it! Best Christmas special of all time!

Ha! @Jedi_Jo I just got on here to say the same thing!! I’m down from a 34G to a 34DD! Just finished doing crunches and it didn’t feel like I was suffocating! Farewell to my twins Helga and Olga!

These are both tried and true favorites in my household!! Definitely not low calorie or fat, but they are so satisfying and delicious!! I would rather have a small portion of something incredible than a bunch of mediocre food!! Bon appétit! https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/instant-pot-crispy-carnitas/…

Up 3.4 and I’m totally good with that! I didn’t log, ate a bunch of salty and sweet things, and feel totally satisfied. Was back on plan today! :) I fully intend to gorge myself again on Christmas because life is too short to deprive myself a holiday meal!

I am in the South and here there are Muscadines/Scuppernogs that grow wild. They have a super thick skin and big seed, but the flesh is so sweet and delicious!! I see people growing them in their yards, so they must do alright! I don’t think they are super cold hardy though...

Yes!!! Gardening is the best!! We moved too late into the season so I was stuck with container gardening on my deck- still a blast and I wound up with good yields on my tomatoes and decent yield on the cukes. This year’s standout was my habanero plant! It was HUGE and yielded enough peppers for 3/4 of a spice jar (we…

Dole Whip is garbage.

Semantics. I saw another member frame it as ‘this is just what I do.’ I use this for myself because I don’t like being told to do things, and I think that phrase focuses on the habit aspect of exercise while emphasizing personal responsibility in a matter of fact way. But at end of the day, it’s all about what works for…

My heart breaks for you. Healing thoughts to you and yours.

Thank you for all the feedback!! As always, I really appreciate the time you took to read and reply! I think I’ll go with a weight range and continue to reassess as I progress! Oh, and @cmriverside I wish I had heard, ‘don’t borrow trouble from your future’ YEARS ago!! Thank you!

A whole Lululemon outfit with that Christmas ca$h!!!

Yea hair is a funny thing! When I was pregnant it turned red! After I gave birth, it turned back to blonde, so I was left with this weird block of red hair sandwiched between blonde!! Looking forward to this new hair adventure lol!! Thank you so much for the input ladies!!

Seems reasonable- thank you!

10 dozen large eggs!! I’ve got Gaston covered for 2 days (now that he’s grown)!

My stretched out fat jeans are getting too loose!!! Edited to add... Also, my knee chub no longer rubs together making a swooshing sound when I walk lol! Thighs on the other hand are still BFFs!

Congrats!! You look fabulous and your story is so inspirational! Wishing you continued happiness and health!

I went to the doctor because I have struggled with mild depression on and off for years. I was prescribed an antidepressant and referred to therapy. I am a medical professional and read my assessment for the therapy referral out of curiosity. Broke my heart. I didn’t realize how I really present to others, but at the end…

I want to lose weight because I’m sick of people assuming that because I’m fat, I must also be poor, stupid, dirty, uneducated, unrefined, etc... I was very very thin until I was about 22 and the difference in the way people treat me now vs then is night and day. Also, my husband bought me a fabulous 2ct solitaire for our…
