For health reasons at first. Putting myself first for a change... taking care of my body the way I should have years and years ago. Now I'm healthy, and just want to be smaller, and more toned. So vanity right now. But I LOVE this new lifestyle I try to lead each day!

Doooooooo it!!!!

Yes!!!! Great substitue for ice cream ... lol. Nice will power.

You look amazing. I know you feel the difference too. Its crazy what a little hard work can do for a person. Keep it up, B. I am SO PROUD OF YOU. Thank you for continuously being a great supporter in my own journey. I really enjoy watching you succeed. In the wise words of some dude......."DOOOOOO IT" Clearly you are- you…

I've tried. It always reminds me why I left the relationship tho... when I'm not interested, I'm not interested.....

Sassy Actually it's Jean. But it should be sassy. hahaha.

The less processed, the better. Not eating much that you don't prepare yourself....

Stomach... I have ooodles of skin. And its not nearly as flat as I'd like it to be. As much as I try to tone, I'll always have excess skin there, unless I get that TT someday...

Ummmm Until I got comfortably into 12's I only randomly bought things here and there. When I got into 12's I started dropping to a 10, then suddenly 8's and some 6's. I decided it was time for a shopping spree. So, yeah. I dropped a few hundred, and now I pick up miscellaneous articles from Kohls, Maurices, Vanity.... I…

I don't have any pockets today... boring. I know.

Not only are you on the top of my list, but you are an amazing person as well....

I should be getting ready for state licensing's visit next month....but MFP is more interesting to me today,

Hmmm today? I feel like I'm a good 8.. At least. ;)

I like humor, a little sass, a little something nice to look at never hurts.... someone that is active on the MFP site and isn't just going to sit in the sidelines. Gotta keep up w/ me, ya know? Also, someone who has been through what I have, and has similar goals is always nice.

Oh, they know. It doesn't need to be advertized, but ya know.. just had to peek in this thread.....

If I want to do a whole 5K running, 5.2-5.5 If I want to just run 20 mins or so, 5.8-6.0 with random walking at 4.2 I started running about 1 yr ago at a 4.2 ---It's AMAZING that I can go 6.0 without holding on, or feeling like I'm going to take a nose dive off the back of the treadmill! hahah.

Lately I've been eating the Traditional Full Fat GREEK GODS brand. I'll mix in some blueberries, slivered almonds, and 1tbsp honey. It's amazing. About 190 cals total. Mmmmmmm.

Groceries....

Ice cream is my weakness. Mint Chocolate Chip. That is all.

Wanna read this later!!!

Congrats. It's amazing what hard work and dedication can do for a person! :o) Enjoy your holidays!

I see the confidence. That's wonderful! Good for you! :o)

Sick of seeing how I looked naked. True story. (Plus, I knew I had the determination, and I wanted to be healthy. After all, we're ALL worth it.) Just gotta DOOOOO IT!

interested in the responses....

I really need to start losing a few more inches. Around my thighs and waist would be GREAT. I have a full body routine that I use 3x week, but a friend of mine suggested focusing on different areas each time I lift. Any thoughts?

I would LOVE to fit into 4's. I'm in some 6's now, mostly 8's. (US) BUT a girl can dream. I'll get there. I'm not going down that easily! (You're talking to someone who once wore 22's, so an 8 is still fabulous!) :o)

Unfortunately there is NOTHING that will make them go away forever, at least without surgery of some sort. It's just a fact of life. They will fade over time, but will not disappear. The important thing is now you're getting healthier!
