I am 7 pounds away from my goal weight and feel like I have hardly changed at all most of the time. But I have lost around 80 lbs (most not on MFP). I hope one day I will see the same thing everyone else does! Even when I DO notice the difference. ... it is not as great as everyone makes it sound.

When my boyfriend gives me awesome ticklies :D

It is calorie free but not the best on its own or in pb and j's. For recipes it is good, however. PB2 is awesome and super low cals....45 for two TBS.

Not enough water? That causes me cramps? Stretching afterwards? Works wonders! Pushing too much? Been there! Done that! Are you cross training? You should!

This is exactly why I hate eating anywhere besides my house. I can make something that tastes BETTER to me than any DQ product (or most restaurants, actually) and it will be healthier with less cals. Just gotta put in a little work!

With strength training you need to allow time to rest in between. I would say no more than three times a week if you are doing it for long amounts of time. Don't forget to get your protein in as well to help build and repair those muscles.

2 mi: 18 minutes Push up: Sit up: Will come back in a while to fill out the other two...gotta head to the gym and find out! haha :D

I usually do for a while..and then it ends up to be just too much food (I definitely go ALL out and make sure I eat all the crap I have been craving so I can get it out of my head for a while) But I do end up quick adding enough cals to cover it (and probably many more!)

Thanks for the website and test idea.. :D And good point on motivation- you are definitely right! I appreciate the help.

I think you look stunning in both pictures, but feel free to add me if you like! You know you can do this since you already have a few times before- now all that is left is to do it! Good luck :D

Love this idea! I usually feel... To be honest, the slightest bit pleased that I got to "not care" for a little while about what I eat/how much/how bad it is for me and just EAT but then reality sets in a few moments later and I am just guilty, and disappointed, and frustrated. And FULL.

A good run!

Hmm... good question. 1. Keep it off! 2. Go clothes shopping (BRAS! JEANS! I NEED NEW ONES SO BAD!) 3. Buy an awesome new swim suit. (2 piece, I hope!) Thanks for this topic! Gave me some extra motivation today :D

Never skip breakfast.

Motivation is only thirty minutes away, missy!! If you are willing to make that drive. (And minus the liquor!)

Hello. It sounds like you are jumping right into it, which can be good and bad. I love how enthusiastic you are to get going...but it might come to a abrupt stop if you can't keep it up. maybe don't go so low on calories for a while? Anywho, welcome and glad to see you here! :D Good luck! Add me if ya like.

2 things that have helped me ALOT: 1. sleeping with a clean towel over my pillows. So simple..but overlooked. 2. Taking Biotin daily. It has helped so much more than any acne product.

Wow, what a difference :D I just wish you looked more happy in your 'after' picture!! Way to go! You do look awesome.

Thanks for taking the time!

For a while I kept them, just in case. Then I realized that is not truely committing and I shouldn't ever need them again! So I gave some to my sister and the rest are going to goodwill.

I like this a lot! Something new to keep in mind.

Oh, also...Artic Zero is my hero. (Rhyme!) 150 calories for a pint (ice cream subsititute) and though it is definitely not healthy, it isn't the worst thing either. Downside? I am so addicted! BUT it is great to be able to 'binge' and know that it is only 150 calories. Best of both worlds! And I think the vanilla maple and…

That actually is a good idea...

Sometimes, I give in. If it is late at night and I have not had a "cheat meal" in a while I will do it...I kow that doing it for the night is better than doing an entire cheat day! Otherwise, I go workout or do yoga. Or keep myself busy with something else (like scanning MFP topics). Sometimes looking up healthier versions…

Awesome progress! I LOVE the feeling that I need to go clothes shopping. I am at the same point...but I don't have money to pay for clothes, unfortunately. I have been raiding my mom's closet until then! hehehe. You look awesome, though. Keep it up :D (And it is refreshing to hear that you FEEL better, too. So many times…

I would say you are already buying a lot of the things that tend to be cheaper. One of my favorite meals is pizza but it is very high in calories but I found a way to eat it and is SUPER healthy in comparison. I take a whole wheat tortilla and spread on some ricotta cheese, then canned stewed tomatoes chopped up…

20 and 20! :D

Probably 4ish months ago. Ate a bag of chips, half quart of ice cream (with graham cracker crust, cookies, cookie dough in it), and cookies while waiting for my pizza to get done in the oven. Ate the pizza and then. Ate chips and other random stuff after...oh jeez. STOMACH ACHE. Have not done anything like that in a while,…

I practice yoga almost daily but I don't really stretch right before/after a workout. But the yoga definitely helps a lot of the pain either way.
