Oh geez I was bad. I would get a double stack from wendys with large fries and large Dr. Pepper. I ONLY drank Dr. Pepper or sweet tea. I also loved bread. Anywhere I could get it. The Wawa sub- 10 inch double meat on white bread with american cheese, extra mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion......I was easily putting away about…

Wow! You look amazing!!!

My boyfriend and I have a deal. When I reach my goal I get a half sleeve tattoo. When he reaches his he will get a kindle fire. :) That and new clothes would be amazinggg!!!

Wow. I hope I look that amazing at my wedding! You did an amazing job!

I hear all different things. I lift mon-fri, different muslce groups every day. If I feel strained I obviously lay off that part of my body till its better. I'm no expert, but I think it's whatever is best for you and what you feel capable of doing.

Ok, well what I've taken from you all is that most supplements are a rip off and I should only take what I can't get through food. My concern is my protein. I get 70-150g a day, but I recently read that I should take in 1g per pound, especially if I am weight lifting. So, seeing as I need to add about 50-75 g of protein…

You guys are awesome! Thank you!

I went through withdrawals from Dr. Pepper in the beginning. It's a hard transition if you drink it all the time. I can't stand carbonation anymore though. You will get there!

Give him a break. He is just trying to find creative ways to mask the unpleasant tastes of some vegetables. Manning up and just eating them doesn't work for everyone. I agree with the whole "starving children" thing, but he is JUST asking for ways to cook vegetables- it's a lot easier to help than complain or mock him. -…

Awww :) I'm glad I could help you guys.

You guys are great! Thank you SO much :)

Thank you all for the compliments! SUCH A confidence boost this morning lol Emaline614- the tattoos on my chest are two owls on branches, one side is fall colors and the other spring and the lyrics say "lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole heart" hamincold- I'm not on a specific diet. Just cut out all…

It's working now!!! :D

Can't figure out how to switch it to HTML mode :/

You have to start with a plan- if you have no idea what you will eat, you are bound to give up or feel defeated and hungry. Sit down and plan out your meals each night so that there is no room for messing up or being hungry. It will get easier.

I got this from a crossfit forum: " The heavily processed crap they put in all FILL-IN-THE-BLANK-"free" creamers will kill you, man. Stop using it. If you want cream in your coffee I suggest using a teaspoon or two of real heavy cream from grass fed cows... Natural by Nature is the brand I use. Half and Half is good too.…

You look amazing!!! Keep going, keep going!!

My biggest concern is trying to figure out what are good fats and how much to eat. The whole "no restrictions" on how much you eat is really hard to wrap my mind around.

Exactly! Do what sunshine said! Use your anger and sadness and put it towards bettering yourself! Whether you guys get back together or you find someone more amazing- never let someone throw you off track. You will regret it and end up feeling more upset. I've been there!!! STAY AWAY FROM THE COOKIE DOUGH!!!! Do a healthy…

I definitely love meat. I won't have a problem with that. You said above ground veggies- are onions bad? I love potatoes and rice is good, but I don't eat either very often nowadays. I don't think my body likes carbs lol, that's why I'm thinking this lifestyle may be the right one for me. I had chicken with eggs for…

I used to be a Dr. Pepper addict. Now, everything about soda is disgusting to me! Gross!

Hey, I'm 21 and started in the 280's, currently at 252. Feel free to add me :)

Hey!!! I'm 21 and all together I need to lose over 100, but I'm down 25lbs and have about 50lbs to go before my first goal! sw: 280 cw: 253 1gw: 200 2gw: 180

I would love to be your friend. I'm telling you, I work in an office with mostly overweight people and they eat out every day and have sweets laying around all the time. They get irritated when I talk about the gym and weight loss and eating healthy, so this site is a GREAT outlet and it's filled with people all working…

Yeah, you really realize something is wrong when you are sneaking food and not wanting people to see what you eat. I've been there. We are with ya!

For iphone users there is actually an app called convert units. That's what I use. That was pretty funny though. I wonder what people would do without your awesome advice. lol

So beautiful and such hard work! Congrats :)
