You look great!! And I love that black dress!! When you can't fit in it anymore, you can send it to me if you want to!! =)

You're looking great!! What are the ACE pills you're taking?

Thanks for sharing!! Those look good!!! =)

chachita7 - Thanks for sharing the links to how to do some of the exercises!! I'm going to have to check them out!! =)

Consignment, resell on eBay (for the really good stuff) or donate / charity. =) I know if I hang on to them 'just in case', it would probably be easier to gain the weight back, since I wouldn't even have to go shopping for new clothes if I did gain. =)

Johnny's a jerk for saying that publicly in front of everyone... especially after telling her he would marry her just 'not any time soon'. As much as it would hurt her to dump him, she's better off without him. If she wants any commitment from the man (which it seems, most women do), it doesn't sound like she's going to…

I'm doing it and I really like it. There's a group on here that's private, if anyone wants to join, send me a message and let me know. =)

Jay Robb has Stevia but that's it. And Stevia isn't artificial so... =) I love his protein powders. They taste great!! =)

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing it!! It makes so much sense!! =) Thanks again!!

Why is it impossible to get *real* cheese curds in any other state other than Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan? (OK, maybe Illinois? I have no idea.) I miss *real* cheese curds. =(

Great question!! And awesome answers!! It was nice to know they shrink (though, I'd prefer that they just disappeared altogether!! =) But I really liked that the question was answered as to how the fat is burned / used in the body. Thank you for asking and answering everyone!! =)

WOW!! You look amazing now!! And soooo much younger!! It's ridiculous how much younger you look!! Seriously!!! Great job!!! You definitely deserved a new driver's license with a new pic!! =) I can't wait til I get to do that too!!! =)

I can totally relate to your feelings!! I have had depression for years!! Sometimes it's not bad... other times it's almost unbearable. I too have many things to be thankful for but, when it's so bad, I can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel (though, I always try to remember the good things in my life... it…

I still have to lose weight (with the calorie deficit stuff) but I've also heard dry brushing towards your heart and coffee and/or salt/sugar scrubs can help... If you do any of those, be sure to take before pics and share the afters if they work!! =)

I have depression and I definitely turn to food for 'comfort'. I lost 70 pounds a few years ago doing a low carb, high protein, 1500 calorie diet and I was feeling so good!! Then one of my antidepressants stopped working and I just went into a big black hole... I gained the 70 pounds back, plus 20 more. All within a year.…

I've always had irregular periods but my periods went away altogether when I gained a lot more weight (I got up to 370-380) It was over a year before I finally got one... and I think I only got one because I'm losing weight. Your weight can definitely effect your periods but I'd also go to the gynecologist to get it…

Awesome job!!! You look amazing!! Great job!!! =)

I agree that 3 lbs a week is great!! MFP doesn't even recommend losing that much per week (most websites / apps only recommend losing no more than 2 lbs per week) but you should stick with what you're doing and keep on counting calories. It takes perseverance... "Rome wasn't built in a day"... =) You'll get there!! If…

Wow!! You're doing great!! I have a bunch of weight to lose as well and so far I've lost nearly 70 pounds... I felt like that was an accomplishment but not nearly as much of one as you've accomplished!! Congrats on the incredible weight loss and for changing your lifestyle around!! Keep up the great work!! I wish you…

Bragg Liquid Aminos are awesome!! They taste a lot like soy sauce but with so much less sodium!! And you can mix it with a bunch of other things to make new condiments. Experiment!! =) Also, Heinz (I think) has a "Reduced Sugar" Ketchup that really has no sugar, other than the sugar that's naturally occurring in tomatoes…

AlenaKelly - Wow!! She's very inspirational!! She looks great!!! =)

I fold it in tin-foil and George Foreman the heck out of it. =) Then I usually add some Mrs. Dash and some True Lemon (crystallized lemon because I never have real lemon in my house) and maybe a little Bragg Liquid Aminos. It's pretty good that way and practically no fat. =) But the other ways sound delicious too!! I'm…

Otherwise you can buy them online. That's where I have to buy practically anything 'diet'... =)

You look amazing!! Great job!!! You should be sooooo proud of all that you've done!! =)

I started at 375 but I'm now down to 309. I've lost the weight with the help of HCG (which I know is not liked by all but I'm not here to talk about that really... just here to share my weight with you all. =) My goal is 190 (which is still 'obese' but it's much healthier than where I started at!!) Congratulations on your…

That's crazy... I did this link.... http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/ for me and it's saying that I have an 'acceptable' amount of body fat. This is what it actually said (the amount)... You have a Body Fat Percentage of 29.46%. Yeah, that's not great but I'm pretty sure I have more than that as I'm…

That's great!!! My goal weight is to be just inside the overweight category (basically where you are right now), so I must admit I'm very jealous!! =) Great job on getting there though!! That has to be an incredible feeling!! =)

I get what you mean! I'm doing a diet that has some controversy around it but I did tons of research on it and decided to do it (my other options were: gastric bypass, lapband or dying of a heart attack because of my obesity) and I chose to try this before the others. I'm completely happy with my choice and I don't…

I try to log it all. Like someone else said, it holds you accountable and it all really counts in the long run. Try logging most of your food... then click 'complete' and then add more food and click 'complete' again... your weight should change (the 5 week estimate as to what your weight will be provided by MFP). I forgot…

I've tried it.... it seemed to work a little but I think I may have also been eating a little healthier, not going back for seconds, etc.... I think I wanted it to work because I was spending so much money on it so that was why I ate better. But I could be wrong. =) I ended up giving some to another family member (because…
