Hi Jackie! I'm Jacquelyn :) I am 220 lbs and haven't been able to lose weight since having a baby 6 months ago. I need to get it in gear! I'll add you as a friend!

Thank you so much :-) I really appreciate it. And thanks for taking your time to vote. It's a silly contest but who doesn't like free stuff? lol

Thank you SO much. I am glad to have you as an amazing friend on here. Always so positive and I love it!! :)

I have lost 80 pounds and I am left with some unsightly loose skin but nothing too crazy. I'm 25 and a lot of people keep saying since I am young it will bounce back, but so far nothing crazy has happened to where I notice it tightening up over time. I would take the loose skin over the excess weight any day though!

In between bikini & fitness model.

I ordered my suit from ravishsands.com. They were fast and very affordable for what I purchased. I kept my first suit very simple though, minimal bling since I will be accessorizing to make up for it.

Fridays do suck for me because I work in the restaurant industry, no such thing as a weekend. Monday is my only day off...so yup. I love Mondays.

Besides water, black coffee.

I love, love, love plain egg whites. I went from eating 13 a day to none right now in prep... so sad :( ANYWHO, you could mix them with oatmeal like others suggested. Hot sauce makes them taste good, too.

gaspari myofusion elite strawberries & cream ON mocha cappucino dymatize xt rich chocolate (my fav) dymatize elite smooth banana i love protein powder lol

Also in agreement with everyone else...practice. I love food. LOVE IT. I could eat all day long. I am rarely ever satisfied after a meal. I'm the type of person who ALWAYS wants something sweet after lunch, dinner, whatever. I have trained myself to have a different relationship with food. I cannot train myself to really…

Love this!!!

My cars are OLD...I have a 1995 Ford Thunderbird with 158,000 miles and a 1997 Honda Civic (my baby) with 166,000.

Right at this very second, if I could have a cheat meal, it would be sushi complimented with a glass of wine... I am talking 3-4 rolls of sushi, yes I will eat them all, with a starter of miso soup, and I will go out with a bang and get dessert. Self serve frozen yogurt please. Oh yeah, I have no self control so I will get…

SAME!!!

OMG, if only.. A few things come to mind, first one..."step AWAY from the refrigerator" Another one would've been to maintain certain friendships. I have no friends...and it's all my fault, oops. And a big kicker around the age of 16 would've been stay away from the bad boys.

I moved to FL from MI a year ago. I hear you guys are getting quite the storm tonight :(

Flagler Beach, 20 minutes north of Daytona.

Oh for sure... like food triplets!

Only a pound?! That's AWESOME. I didn't even bother weighing myself this morning. I know for a fact the scale would've been up 3-4 pounds. That's too funny about the burps...i think we have all been there. haha

It's not bad if it's what works for YOU. It's all about baby steps, if you think this will make you more successful, then by all means go for it. Sometimes the all or nothing approach doesn't work, so I see nothing wrong with it personally.

If you're hungry, eat them back. If you're not, leave 'em. I personally don't think it matters either way. I typically don't eat mine back, but if I'm hungry I'm all about it.

Hmm, what got me here in the first place.. Well, we ate out a lot growing up. My parents were divorced, so usually whatever parent we were with took us out to eat. My dad got re-married when I was 16 and this lady cooked her @$$ off and we always had a pantry full of goodies. I mean...EVERYTHING you could imagine. I…

I am going to enjoy whatever I want. Fortunately there are staples that I like on thanksgiving that might not be at the table this year. I don't think my grandma is making green bean casserole and I can eat my weight in that, so that's one less thing I will be indulging in. However, I can't say the same for any desserts…

I'm from Michigan but moved to Florida 7 months ago.

**Eta - pictures are big...sorry!!** I don't have any "full body" pictures because at my heaviest I hated having my picture taken. Still not a fan, but these do an okay job of showing my progress. When I have completed this whole journey, I will have the typical bikini after picture for comparison... hopefully :-) This…

The planters nut-rition is so good. Infact I can't keep it in the house or I'll eat it all day until it's gone. ugh.

I was also raised in Jackson...lived there up until 6 months ago. Crazy!

Well, the only one I can remember was a slush... like a slushie from the ice cream shop.. I called it a flush. My brother called Subway "Suvway"...yes, with a V.

Haha, I love this. I remember in high school buying trail mix and ringing it up as the cheapest bulk candy. Oops.
