Amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing! You look great.

Ha!! But she noticed!!! You're doing something right. :happy:

Congrats! You look great.

Take it all with a grain of salt. The 2nd one is the one I would carry in my pocket!! Great job.

Oh my!! I don't know what your diet is, but that cracks me up!!! Ignorance... that's all it is.

Awesome!! Amazing what we don't "see" but really exists. Keep it up!

I concur!

Pita chips are evil. As are co-workers who bring in chocolate chip cookies! It's going to take me forever to lose this 10 if I keep this up. Grrr...

Use that bike!! Increase your cardio and you'll continue to see the pounds come off. You can also change up your routine so your body works muscles differently. Good luck.

How incredibly sweet!!! Made me tear up. Our kids look up to us as leaders not only of the household but how to live their lives. Good for you and hugs to that little boy!!!

I'm sure you burned some calories w/ painting and moving furniture. Sometimes life gets in the way... The good thing is you'll get back on track and you have the support of your MFP friends and this challenge. I hope your Monday was a good one!

Last week was rough in regard to time to myself and time for exercise, but I still managed to lose half a pound. I went to the gym today and weighed myself and I've lost another 1 1/2 lbs!! I'm so excited. If I can get into the 180's by Dec it would be wonderful! I've lost 15lbs since August. My clothes must have been very…

I have one. It's my 3rd blackberry. Love it. Had one that froze a lot - tmobile replaced it. If I ever change carriers I'd go to an iphone, but I can't stand androids.

Familiar territory! I just got a new job. They called me in for a 2nd interview which really was just a meet and greet w/ the staff. They were pretty much feeling me out. They told me they had 2nd interviews w/ other candidates, but the next day the practice director called me - said the staff asked him to talk to me as…

Congrats!!! Keep up the great work. And you deserve a new (used) pair of pants. Show off that progress. :happy:

I tried LA weight loss about 6 yrs ago. I lost some weight, but I ALWAYS felt so hungry. I couldn't stick to it. I loved their snacks and stuff though. MFP seems easier to me because it's not prescriptive.

Thanks so much for doing this!! This week has been hard and the month is only getting busier so it's great to have concrete goals. NSV: Less back pain this week and although I'm not quite a full size down, my clothes are fitting much differently/ comfortably.

My goal for the month is to also to survive. Looks like I'll be getting a new job, giving a babyshower, traveling for thanksgiving, and hosting a dinner party - I'm NEVER that busy. With all of this going on. I NEED to commit to getting in my cardio work outs. I may have other small goals, but this is so necessary if I…

I like the second one. :happy:

One day at a time - just like you say. Know that you're doing something good for yourself. If you have a lot of weight to lose, it may take longer to notice, but it will happen. Keep it up!! Good luck.

This could not have come at a better time! This coming week is too busy!! My name is Amy. I'm 39 and a single mom to a very busy 18mo old boy. This week is nuts between work and outside obligations and I feel very off kilter already, so a daily goal sounds awesome!! 1. Not to fret about going over my calories today but to…

Me too. Respect yourself and walk away.

seafood soups... may have higher sodium but lower calories. Unless you prepare mexican food at home, it's almost always loaded w/ calories and fat.

I have IBS and too much roughage can be an issue. I don't eat any more than one salad a day when I do and I've found grean leafy lettuce isn't as bad. Plus I skip the dressing - I'm beginning to think it adds to the problem because since I've stopped using any dressing I don't get as bloated. If you get too uncomfortable…

Maybe I need to get one. I think I'm my own status stalker at this point! LOL

Good luck! There are so many inspiring stories on here about people much heavier than you that have lost the weight. Please don't loath yourself because of your weight. You're not 300lbs. You're 200. And maybe if you set yourself some mini goals instead of thinking of it as this HUGE number you need to lose it wont seem so…

You are so lucky you have such great support. Congrats on your progress. You look great!!

You had me rolling! So funny, because I'm convinced of the same. However, keep trying different things. The less processed foods you eat the better... not everything tastes good right out of the bag, may need to add something to it. I like the earlier suggestion w/ a natural fruit spread and natural peanut butter. It's…

Awesome! Our kids need good role models and we have to lead by example. Being a parent is the best thing in the world! Congrats.
