I am not one of your MFP's but you can surely add me and ... I'm not judging you. I feel your frustration. I am reading a book about nutrition and I found myself not eating enough because I am so confused about WHAT to eat. Last night out of total frustration I announced ... I am not going to go my whole life without…

It takes time. I am very impatient with my progress and have to remind myself of that too. Are you doing strength training? Perhaps you are losing inches and not pounds because an inch of muscle weighs more than an inch of fat.? Try tracking measurements instead of weight maybe that will be more inspirational for you. Good…

I think that the question is posing the question of what is morally correct not wether or not you should do the morally correct thing ... If the money is buried on your property: Is there anything morally incorrect about keeping it? I don't think so. But I would have turned it in. Only for fear that the money was ill…

That is awesome ... I wouldn't have known it was the same person in the pics. Great job!!! :)

I love my "girls" ... ONLY thing about gaining weight that I enjoyed :( I will miss them. I've made a deal with myself that if I lose enough weight though I'm gonna pay for refills ;)

If not logging works for you ... GREAT! For me logging has made me aware of the poor food choices I was making when I thought that I was making good ones. THAT has been invaluable to me :) Good luck :)

I just started reading the book "The Perfect 10 Diet" and it talks about this sort of thing. I haven't gotten to the natural sugar section of the book so I can't answer the question. However, I thought I would put the bug in everyone's ear that this book is very helpful when talking about low fat, high protein, low carb…

You look awesome!!!

Wow! That's an amazing change in your body composition!!! Good for you! :)

Holy Crap!!!

I wouldn't take it personally. I don't think that it has anything to do with you, more the dress and personal taste. I too would like to see it without the sleeves. I know that we can be so critical of ourselves and maybe you feel insecure about exposing your arms.? But sometimes covering our "problem areas" actually draws…

Thanks guys! ... That's exactly what I'm talking about ... great encouragement and support :)

I agree ... Wow! and Smile :)

I read your story and scrolled down to find the before and after pics ... awesome! Just awesome! More proof that women truly are amazing creatures and we can do ANYTHING that we set our minds to. :)

Wow! So inspiring! I'm at 163 (started at 165) my goal is 135 at 5'3 and turning 40 in mere weeks. Worse than all of the facts is the way I feel ... I feel like I'm 163 and turning 40. lol! Totally in the process of turning that around and now just a few weeks in not only am I 2lbs lighter but I feel so much better. Way…

Steel cut oatmeal w cottage cheese or Whole wheat english muffin w natural almond butter and a piece of fruit or homemade breakfast sandwich made w whole wheat english muffin, egg whites, Morningstar veggie sausage pattie and swiss cheese.

Well, when you find a solution, let me know. lol! I am heavier now than I have ever been in my life and granted that is totally due to a change in my lifestyle (ie, sedentary, stressful job and poor eating habits) and of course aging (the big 4-0 this year). I recently went to a medical weight loss center out of sheer…

I love to add Nonfat Cottage Cheese or Light/fat free yogurt (choose your fruit flavor) to mine :) ... I even add egg whites sometimes ... YUM!

What size can of tomatoe paste? Tomatoe "paste" the thick stuff or tomatoe "sauce"?

Well, I have an interesting problem ... It would appear that I am between sizes, too big for the largest size at regular stores and too small for the "big girl" stores. So, I would say that I buy clothing that is too small for me for this reason only. I cannot find proper fitting clothing for the most part :( And that is…

Ice Cream :(

Impressive! Great job :)

Rum/Diet Cola and Vodka/Diet Tonic. You can't usually find diet tonic at a bar or restaurant, this is when I would drink Rum and Diet Coke. If I'm going to a party I bring my own Diet Tonic and Vodka.

Turning 40 in 3 weeks ... I'll be in Jamaica :) :) :)

Even yummier and pretty easy as well ... 1 whole wheat english muffin 2 egg whites fresh basil and thinly sliced tomatoe ... you can add some mozzarella if you can afford it in your daily count :) but it's very delish on its own. I buy the carton of egg whites and measure 2 eggs worth in round custard dish (spray w pan…

Have you searched youtube for the how to do anime eyes makeup video? It's pretty amazing.

It shouldn't matter. I'm not saying that you're fat but, if you were, would you stay fat and unhealthy to please/keep him?

I hear ya ... I see that everyone has said that no one is looking at you and that they're more preoccupied with themselves and I know that it's true but it doesn't ease that self conscious feeling. You just have to push past it and eventually you will feel more comfortable and make that gym your own. I'm one to talk…
