Day 1 I just walk usually, but like a really really good walk. Then carry on as usual. :)

You are more than welcome to add me! :) I'm just pulling myself up by the bootstraps after falling off this last couple weeks. SW: 280 lb CW: 201 lb GW: 140-150 lb (but we'll see when I get down there)

I mean, I'm married but he's a good looking guy. :)

well, for my overnight oats I put in a little nutella (so it's kind of a dessert), almond butter, ground flax seed, chia seeds, almond milk, and greek yogurt

Maybe you're not eating enough, I know sounds weird, but maybe up what you're eating but fill it with mostly proteins and healthy fats.

I'm down 80 lbs and looking to lose another 50-60, you are very welcome to add me, anyone else as well. :) Like momma always said, you can never have too many friends. :)

Oh also, I buy this Ostrim jerky (Ostrich and beef - peppered) from GNC and it is the BEST! Helps me stay satiated when I'm really hungry and it's not bad in the calorie department, like 80-100 calories I think. I've been having it for lunch a lot lately along with some fruit. I'm always looking for food ideas or workout…

I also have this issue, we need to work on celebrating our losses with non-food items! I get so close to 199 and then I feel like I can eat whatever and then bam I'm up a pound. We've got this though! When you read this if you haven't gone to the gym yet, GO! And I'll go too! :)

Friday - Fitness (what are you doing to get fit? How are you preparing for weekend eating?) I've taken the last 2 days off (other than the 30 minute walk during lunch, which I do not really count when I think of my exercising) from working out since I've been having that congested chest/cough crud that seems to be going…

OMG, ME TOO! :) I also wish it was 1 year from now and I kicked it up a notch! :)

Wednesday - Wishes (what do you wish? It can be weight related or not, can be realistic or not) Hello all, I just found this thread. :) My wish is that I get in all the running I need to do before my first 5k on July 3rd. I also wish to finally get out of the 200's (so close!) by the end of next week. I'm been hovering…

What leg exercises are you doing currently? Also, if you want to work on your A R S E and legs more you should probably up it to 2 times a week. Protein is super important for muscles so keep that up! :) You look smashing and your hard work will pay off. Like the others said, I'd shoot for 8-10 reps per set. I'm also doing…

Great job!! Keep going! :) You're going to get there before you know it with an amazing attitude like yours! :)

Amazing girlfriend!!! We have similar stories, I ballooned to 278 in 2011 with the birth of my daughter, down 75 lbs right now and looking to lose the last 50-60. :) You got this!! Keep up your hard work!!

Congratulations! You look amazing! :) Just calorie counting and exercise?

MAY 2013 NOW

You're freaking gorgeous!! I started about the same weight and am currently 204.. ugh, the long road. What did you do to lose? I've been kind of plateauing these days. :(

Maybe give us a little more info on what you are currently doing? If you can barely knock out 6-8 reps per set you're lifting the right amount of weight, once it gets easier up your weight. I do 3 sets of 8 reps (sometimes more reps if I really push myself) on whatever I am lifting on back/bi day and chest/shoulders/tri…

Beautiful smile!

Amazing!! :) In such short time too!

I'm fat. It only bothers me if someone talks about my weight like I'm not working on it... hmm I've only lost 73 pounds already and everyone knows I'm still working on it so... zip it! Lol. I know I'm fat, usually it doesn't bother me when people talk about it like it's just a fact, but when people get all judgy I get…

Definitely what Jerod said, just dust that chicken parm off and try better the next meal. Just because you have 1 bad meal or maybe a couple consecutively don't give up! We all have our moments. Just keep trying! :) Or find healthier versions of the delicious bad food you crave. Lol. I too have that problem sometimes, but…

Drink a TON of water, I mean, the amount where you're going to need to be every 30-60 minutes. Lol. I know this is a huge issue on why I've plateaued. Kick your workouts up a notch perchance? Maybe on your walks bring some weights? Incorporate light weightlifting? What's the content of those 1,000 - 1,200 calories? Protein…

Hmm, I personally had a fat face when I was 73 lbs heavier, but I life heavy so I actually look like I should weigh much less. But nope, still a heavyset girl. Lol. I think it really depends on body fat %'s because you could take a girl my weight but without the muscle I have and she'd look 20 lbs heavier than me.

Hmm, I'd say let it go since he didn't say "Ok, if I don't give you a ticket you have to call me". Keep it though in case he uses your personal information, that way you have evidence. Really, it was pretty unprofessional but I don't think it was malicious or lascivious. Just take it as a compliment and move on with your…

Lol, chin slightly down and angled. :D I'm like 205 lbs (most of it is boobs, bahaha) I should hit up that 300lb chick though, apparently all I'd have to do is show a little cleave. :D :D

I drink quite a bit of water, I know it's water because it's usually within 20-30 minutes of drinking a bunch that I have to go... well I try to get my 8-9 cups in so you can imagine... I think I annoy my co-worker (my backup on the phones) because I'll always be like "be right back" and she just rolls her eyes... girls…

Boring Receptionist... though I do a lot of stuff for our Human Resources, Quality, Sales and Engineering department, along with Production. So a little bit of everything but I sit smiling at the front desk answering phones, the CEO calls me the Director of First Impressions... sounds way better than Receptionist.

My picture is current, but I angle it because I hate my nose. Hmm, my cheeks are probably chubbier in person too... but if anyone asks me, I'm a short, chubby, curvy girl with big ole tatas. :D

You look AMAZING! Great job, I'm down 73 lbs too and looking to lose another 50, we've got this! :)
