Hey ZerthSpirit, Just sent you a friend request, and I am also SUPER nerdy. Used to work for a video game store and all. Love to give you online support, and depending on where in the world you are, maybe even actual work out support :)

I'd like to join! Sounds like a great idea!

That is a great tip! I looove jello too :)

I'm interested.

I have one tattoo. Love it! And tatts on a guy are sexxxxxy

Wow! Thank you soooo much for the info! Did not know all that! I really appreciate the detailed answer. I think I'm a big nerd like you :)

Cool, I know this site helps me loads!!! I am exactly like you - I either binge or I never eat (which is the worst of both worlds). I don't get hungry much, but when I do, it's usually cause I'm eating simple carbs and want more simple carbs. The diary I keep on here helps soooo much. Still really difficult no matter how…

Hey everyone! Hope your week was great! Mine was! Lost 4.4 lbs since last week!!! 8 lbs left til Halloween!!!!!! H20 Start weight : 253 lb I forget what the other weeks were lol Week 4 : 245.4 Week 5 : 241 Total so far.... 12 lbs!!

Alright, lost 2.6 lbs since last week; here are my numbers! H20 Start weight : 253 lb Week 4 weight : 245.4 lb Total so far.... 7.6 lbs!! 12.4 pounds to go!

Yep, yep! I'm in too! I saw someone else on here who's close to me in weight and they wanted to be under 200 by New Years. Holy crap! For the first time it made me realize that I could be close to that number by New Years too! O.O 200 has never been in my sights, it's just amazing how close it is now! Sept 5th: 248 lbs Jan…

Checking in for Week 3. :) I am now 248 (yayyy!!!) On my first post it says my start weight was 253, (the 2nd week I put 255 by mistake) ... So I'm 5 pounds down now. 15 more!!

Don't think i've replied for my second week yet, but I'm 5 lbs down!!! Yay!!! I'll weigh in on Sunday and post my new weight on the week 3 thread. (Already a couple pounds down from that first 5). Yay to the BRILLIANT people who started this. This challenge is EXACTLY what I needed. That, along with the C25K challenge. I…

Same here! My biceps are bulging, and I can feel my triceps have muscle too, just hidden under flap of fat! I've heard losing weight at a healthy pace is a good way to combat loose skin. If you see ppl who lose weight in a really short amount of time they have hanging skin on their arms, stomach, etc. They went too fast…

Ok, I'm totally in on this. I had a goal to be 235 by Halloween anyway, so this fits in PERFECT!!! My Start Weight: 253. Totally gonna do this. Tomorrow I start W1D1 of C25K!!!! Plus I'm gonna try to add everyone on this thread as a friend, so add me if you see me please. I'm also doing one day a week all liquids, no solid…

This is a great idea! I've been on my weight loss journey for longer than I've been a member of this site so I actually am relatively close to losing 100 lbs myself!! (I want to lose 150 total) I just need 25 more lbs O.O to be at -100!!! It's my goal to do this by the end of the year (hopefully sooner). Wish luck to…

I'm a DDD as well and what works best for me is making sure the straps on my bra are tight to hold me up, the n I put a sports bra on over it. There's still some jiggle, but so far its the best thing I've found to keep me in place.

This person sounds amazing. The changes we can make to ourselves and our lives is immense. Glad the positive feedback is helping you along!! I know it helps me so much too. Which is awesome cause I'll log on to MFP to leave encouraging messages, then see inspirational messages others left for me, which gives me more…

Been a vegetarian for 6 years now. Been vegan for 6 months once, got sick and went back to vegetarian, then later did it for 8 months before stopping. Part of it was lack of resources/knowledge/time/willingness to make my own food (I hate cooking lol), and I know I had way too much fat in my diet (common problem of…

Couldn't agree more! Rock music really gets me a good workout (and a good life). Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down, Tool and Atreyu kick my *kitten*. :) Best songs: Vermillion - Slipknot Duality - Slipknot Bat Country - A7X Beast and the Harlot - A7X Radio.Video- System of a Down Aenima - Tool Falling Down-…

Another DDD here and I have one 18 hour Playtex bra that's like a bra/sports bra combo. The "boob" part is holds and squishes them together like a sports bra and the rest of it feels like a regular bra and is supportive like one. I don't know what specific type of playtex bra its called, but on the tag the model number is…

Glad you had a fantastic day! We're all losing weight to live better, but if we forget to live then what's the point? Way to know what's truly important

Completely agree its a huge victory hun! My small victory happened today on the scale. My weight fluctuates by about 5-7 lbs throughout the day and I always record the higher number as my official weight, but today I got on the scale the 2nd I woke up, and weighed 239.4!!!!!!! I've NEVER seen 230 something in my adult…

Agree completely with arielle0489. I've asked personal trainers their opinion and they you can (and maybe should) eat something right after your workout - a protein shake or no-sugar healthy snack work best for me (I'm on a low glycemic diet). They also say you shouldn't eat about 45 minutes before a workout, and I've had…

Preach it! We can both practice it :) It is so important for us to get our goals and priorities straight. To choose between what is right, and what is easy. If we want to satisfy ourselves this second, or for the rest of our lives. Good post.

Tomorrow will be stressful so I need the extra focus. I'm in!!

That is awesome that you reached your goal weight and are still on here to make sure you stay healthy and keep it off. I've heard about soooooo many people who lose the weight they want then gain it back and more. Losing weight and keeping if off have to be the most difficult thing ever! Congratulations to you. Inspiring.

I'm in! I can't exercise on Saturday since I work 15 hours, but I can double the water and be better about my diet. I need to too, the stress usually gets to me and I tend to eat more on Saturdays.

THANK YOU!!!!

Be careful on the corn and mash potatoes! Those are the worst vegetables for you because they're loaded with starch. And certain dips with carrots can make that really bad for you too. I get a lot of my veggies from my sandwiches - love adding on extra tomatoes, pickles, onions and bell peppers! Also, I learned to really…

Congratulations. I haven't been on this site for quite six months but I have seriously dedicated myself to losing weight and being happier for that long. Bumpy road but I've lost about 25 pounds (which a lot of the time I feel like I haven't lost much at all). Funny, I didn't even realize I had really lost that much til I…
