Thanks everyone!! I appreciate it! I knew toning was the wrong word but wasn't sure what to call it, at least you knew what I meant! :P We have about a 100lbs to lose a piece so we need all the help we can get!! Thanks again!!

I have cheat days but they definitely would not equate a bad eating day I would have had before. So I might allow myself a couple of oreos or a gelato. Today is a family birthday party and while I plan to indulge, I will still be smarter about what/how much I eat.

Not heavy lifting, just some of the weight machines to tone, particularly my arms. I also do the ab machines. I'm new to all this!

Chipotle salads, no vinagrette - high calories, no cheese or sour cream. I get Lettuce, Chicken, Corn, Tomato Salsa, Green Salsa and Guacamole. Jamba Juice We have places here that make yogurt, acai bowls, etc. Sometimes they're out there, you just have to look! We found it on Yelp! I eat where ever I want also, I just…

Are you thinking he will be judgmental? In a relationship you should be able to share everything with your partner. I can see not telling him if you wanted it to be a surprise though!

You can add me too! I have 2 boys ages 3 and 1. I have 80-100 pounds to lose, I've lost 12 so far!!

I don't think I've ever been jealous of someone's back before now! You look so great!!

I've kept a lot of my smaller clothes too hoping someday they would fit again! Good for you!!!

Obviously you know, since you're here, but if someone on the street asked me, I'd say count calories. It seems like a pain, but you REALLY don't realize how many calories you can consume! For example you think a glass of skim milk, healthy right? A full glass of skim milk is nearly 200 calories! It's like that with a lot…

I'm 5'4" and would love to get to 130-135. I'm thinking more like 150 though, we'll see when I get there!

Wow! You look amazing! When I've got my weight down I'll have to check out that program! Thanks!

Started at 230, if I can get to 150 I'll be thrilled. 130 would be a dream! We'll see! I'm counting calories and exercising 6 days a week. I typically do a combo of treadmill, elliptical and weights for one hour!

Like others have said, there's def more nutrition in whole eggs but more calories, fats, etc too! If I'm not really hungry I may eat just 2 whole eggs. If I'm really hungry I'll do 1-2 whole eggs then add 2-3 egg whites for bulk! Throw some hot sauce on it! Yum!

OMG you look amazing! Show that body off! Stop seeing the flaws, others don't!

I eat it plain or with fruit on top, oranges, pineapple, peaches. I've also made a lower calorie buffalo chicken dip with it because I love that stuff, I just put about equal amounts cottage cheese and shredded chicken and added Frank's Red Hot. I dipped celery and wheat thins in it, it was delicious!

Huge difference! You look great!

MFP puts nearly everyone on 1200 cals. I lost 6 pounds the first week but now it's slowed down! Probably mostly water!

I have some underwear that my husband bought me for Christmas a couple of years ago, they're super cute but were the biggest size they had and didn't fit me! :( I'm hanging onto those for someday!

Wow! Huge difference in your tummy! You've inspired me!!

Awesome! That has to be a great feeling!!

I'm wonder this too. I'm 5'4" and 226 pounds and I was also recommended 1200 calories. But then I used this calculator; http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm and it suggests 1800 calories for extreme fat loss. So what's up? I am losing weight steadily but 1200 a day is hard.

You look great and I agree, much younger! Congrats!

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing!
