  • Im IN! Now, can someone tell me how these challenges work? Is it just that you're kind of on your own?
    in November 10lb challenger anyone! Comment by laurashapiro October 2012
  • When I was 24 I was dating a man who said the same thing to me. Only, kind of worse. "You are so pretty; why would you let yourself get to this state?" It killed me. I still dont forgive him, but in the end (for me), he was right. I am in no way condoning what he said. It was terrible. Again, though, that was me. I had let…

  • Not much?! You look AWESOME! What are you doing to get all of that muscle definition?? Im about 3 inches taller than you, and started out heavier. Im thin now, but would love to have that much strength! Wow!!

  • I dont agree with most of these replies, honestly. 1) You can technically lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks, and if it gets you through an otherwise uncomfortable situation, then so be it. Atkins will work if you DO NOT CHEAT. Now that said, I really dont advocate for Atkins because I did it (and the other variations) for years and…

  • Awesome! Congrats! In total, since my heaviest weight (before I joined MFP), thats about what I lost. I think about it every time I buy my bulldog her super fancy food in the 50lb bag. Its so hard to comprehend that the equal weight used to be on my body. I just wanted to say, from a stranger, that Im really proud of you…

  • Hi there. I was feeling the same way, and then, one day, people started saying things. Now, let me ask you... have you started pulling out your skinny clothes again yet? I think that its harder for other people to notice our weight loss when we wear the same old stuff, even if it is fitting much looser. Now, all of THAT…

  • I agree! I started with a couple of friends, but they have all dropped off. I think this thing really works, but only if you have a support system and stay dedicated! Im not sure how we become friends on this site, but if you know, please feel free to add me!

  • I think we all have cheat days. Its doing them in moderation thats the key. You cant beat yourself up for a day or two that arent perfect. I try to make it up the next day if posible, but we have to look at the long term picture, not only what your day looks like. (And I agree- I log all of my cheat foods too. I think…
