You look amazing and it's such an inspiration especially to someone like me who is starting over (again). But being consistent will get me the results I want and you are definitely proof of that. Congrats on a super successful year!

Also agree with the cruise. You still find some pretty amazing deals for December/January.

Australia...it would be their summer. Really pretty and do some adventure stuff.

Without any in-depth research or study (I'm a non-expert), I think it's hard to live and get healthy with all the pressure we can sometimes put on ourselves. There is no one way to do most things. So you've been craving a sweet for a bit. It seems as if you haven't given in so why not plan to have a sweet at the party. If…

My family are serious road trip takers. You should prepare some healthy snacks in the car, eating and driving tends to be the name of the game. I wouldn't worry too much about food, because you can stop along the way. My road trip snacks include nuts, yogurt, chewing gum, and fruit (preferably something you can just eat…

Cry. Just have you a good old fashioned, tantrum, crying with the snot, maybe even stump. Do it! Then when it's over, make a plan. You are so frustrated that you want to cry that you sent that very long detailed post. Now be frustrated to go after the things you want. Plenty of people have gained, lost, tried, failed, etc.…

I'm in and looking to lose 24.8 lbs.

That's pretty great! It's also motivating. Thanks for sharing!

I relocated 4 years ago alone and had to build a new network. It kinda feels like dating. Join organizations (Junior League, professional organizations, etc.). Volunteer with United Way (cuties), Habitat for Humanity (cuties who can build ish), it's an election year so you can volunteer with a campaign (I moved in 2008 and…

I'm in. Fancy conference that week and I'd like to look my fanciest! Will there be a group?

This was uber helpful, because I need to switch things up myself. Thanks.

If there isn't a group, I'd love to see one started. I've been natural (no more relaxer) for over 6 years but I always got it straightened. Now I'm trying to keep the heat out and see if I can wear my hair wavy (my hair isn't that curly naturally). I still need to figure out products, etc. I also start swim lessons…

This is cute...I've lost 10 dozen large eggs so far (15lbs)...yay!!

You look great!!! Pics tell it all!!! I have some "fat pics" and I look at them somewhat frequently. You're doing wonderful and I'm glad you had this aha! moment to really see that your hard work is producing results. This can be the boost to keep you focused till the home stretch. Thanks for sharing!!

This is great! You've done phenomenal and your picturimony (picture + testimony) is super inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

You look good!!! Way to get it done. Very inspiring! Keep it up!

You look great. It looks like you lost even more inches than you stated. Good work!!

Add me. I'm 220 and can't wait to step on a scale and see the first number is a 1.

You're dairy isn't viewable. What results are you focused on scale only? What are you eating? When you boosted your exercise did you boost your calories? Are you under-logging calories in or overstating your workouts? How are your bowel movements? Are you stressed? It's two weeks take a look at what's going on and make…

Log the good, the bad and the ugly. Also as some have already stated, don't look at one bad choice as an excuse to make bad choices for the rest of the day. You ate something you shouldn't, log it and then eat what you know you should the rest of the day. Since you know you haven't decided to control your snacking (cause…

Honestly, motivation wanes. It's cool to be inspired and encouraged. It's awesome to have a partner in this thing, but it comes down to you valuing your goals enough to put in the work. And I'm not worried about you wasting money at the gym. Waste it and workout at home. So needing motivation to go to the gym is just…

I'm in freaking bison country (North Dakota). I've had it prepared many different ways and its just as good as beef. Try it and enjoy!

bump; you look great!

Bump..i've only lost 10lbs so far, but would love to see some apples farther along. Thanks.

bump...thx for sharing

Don't use shampoo every time...the extra washing just use conditioner.
