find a picture of yourself that you don't like from when you were at your highest weight. Carry it with you...when you get a case of the munchies take it out and look at it! Sometimes it works for me, other times...the junk foods wins.

I 100% understand! I still wear baggy clothes to hide the progress! I refuse to talk to my brother (he lives in another state) about my progress because he ALWAYS picked on me about being big and I want it to be a shock when he comes home around the holidays. My self esteem was/is really low when I started gaining weight…

You can add me if you want! I am here everyday! We can do this! :drinker:

I do....a little before 7 am!

because it's a birthday and they only occur once a year I would make the cake and not worry about it being healthy. Just eat one slice (maybe a small slice) and enjoy it. If you don't want it around the house because it's too tempting just have your husband take it to work or give it to a family member that isn't watching…

i love cottage and hummus....tho not together! I like pineapple or mandarine oranges on my cottage cheese. You can make a cottage cheese salad, it sounds kind of gross but I think it's really yummy! One large cottage cheese, one large orange sugar free jello,one container of sugar free cool whip and a can of mandarine…

You can do this! I am having a bad week this week, but I refuse to give up...the skinny girl in me wont let me!! If you have a bad day, bad week, bad month...pick yourself up, brush yourself off and get back to it. If I can do this, you can do this....we can do this!! Good luck!

My right knee used to dislocate ALOT! I mean would slide almost to the back of my leg (gross sorry). I had to have surgery for it. It can be dangerous, their are veins it can hit and cause internal bleeding. I had surgery over 10 years ago and my knee still hurts if I do too much. I have a Gazelle and that doesn't bother…

you could look in the powdered drink section at your local food store...I know Walmart makes a sugar free orange drink (it kind of reminds me of Tang).

Congrats, you look great! Happy 30th Birthday!!

:drinker: Happy Birthday!!! :drinker: Congrats on the weight loss too!!

I'm with you....I need to lose about 60 pounds....maybe 75, I'll have to determine that when I hit the 60 pound loss mark! I think you will love this, I do! My friends are all really supportive. Most of us have our up and down moments and we just push through one day at a time. I know you can do this....you are woman, hear…

You look great! You got so small...and your kitty got so big!! Your pictures inspire me to keep going!

I can't say NO to pizza either!! I would eat a salad if you get hungry, something light.

CONGRATS!!!

Happy Birthday Danny! Kill those fat cells and calories....you can do it!

I love this...I am printing it out and putting on the wall in my office as that is where I tend to want to do most of my munching!! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on both the engagement and the weight loss! I'm a 5'4 woman and your pics make me not want to give up! Thanks for that kick in the bum!!

Happy Birthday!!

Add me and we will do this together. I weigh close to what you do and I'm 5'4. I too have an office job and sit most of the day. I do not have children....I am this fat because I love food. I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad and I eat when I'm bored. This group has really made a huge…

i like to crumble my salmon over a nice garden salad!

You should be excited! Congrats!!! I have a very long road ahead of me as well....it's long, I can't see the end right now BUT I know I will be standing at the finish line one day!!

Wow, you can really see the difference! You should be very happy with the progress!! I have about 60 - 70 pounds to lose too....I try to take it day by day so I don't get overwhelmed with the amount of time it is going to take me to shed those pounds. I will do it though....and I know you will too!!!

watch your sodium and sugar intake....both cause you to retain water.

My goal is 70 but when I hit that I may need to lose 10 - 20 more! You can add me if you want! :)

You look AMAZING!! You should be so proud of yourself!! Way to go!!

I agree...the cracker chips are AMAZING!!

I have been having the same problem. I was thinking it was sue to me exercising and sweating, maybe some of the pores are getting clogged while we are sweating out the oils in our skin? I wash my face after every workout but I'm still getting them. I really thought it was just me!

if you are working out every night you could have gained muscle....muscle weighs more than fat.

You could be gaining muscle...muscle weighs more than fat. Don't let it discourage you, just keep going....I know you can do it!
