Also returning from a very long break. My first time on here I lost over 60lbs. I've gained about half of that back and am finally feeling ready to go at this again. Feel free to add. :)

i wish there were a way to count complex sugars and simple sugars separately. the simple sugars in fruit aren't going to harm you as long as you eat in moderation. a bowl of strawberries each night is not the sugar you need to worry about. the bad sugars are the complex ones in processed foods. try not to worry too much…

haha i really should have considered my wording more. ah well. i can talk about bowel movements if you prefer.

i would be more concerned with how the medication will affect her mood rather than her weight. although i can't name the medication(s) my sister is on, she gained quite a bit of weight. but i think it has to do more with the fact that with her condition, she doesn;t work and sits at home all day and refuses to eat well. on…

thank you everyone for posting your stats. it really is a big help. keep 'em coming i need as many as i can get to get a good broad range of data. c:

here.

thanks LC! you inspired me to get this far. c:

neither. the money would be for boyfriend and me to go through school and get a nice place. i would use my own abilities to clean and cook for my family.

if i counted anything unhealthy as cheating i would be "cheating" every single day. and daily cheating would mean i'd never lose weight, which is not the case. my cheat days are when i not only go above my caloric limit but when i basically say "**** it. i'm eating whatever and not logging it."

i can't even stop staring at this.

grl dun even. ur gonna make me cry.

thank you aggie. i'm so glad we're friends. <3

definitely! i always used to feel guilty that i wasn't doing as much as other people i read about. but i focused on me and got the job done. c:

haha it's still a little too short to wear in public but maybe after another 20 pounds i can wear it with some tights. :)

the doctor, obviously.

5'7" both are durings. i never took a true before picture but i started at about 255 and didn't take the first pictures until 240. i never had a specific regime. started about a year ago and just eat under the recommended cals and tried to work out when i could. i do turbo jam on occasion but mostly just walk and swim. i…

i'm going to be the eleventh doctor from doctor who but with a feminine twist. very excited. :)

i have long and thick hair. so it's really heavy. i have to pull it back into a bun, braid the bangs and clip them back, and then wear a cotton headband and pin that down to my head as well. and even then i still have issues.

it holds so many secrets.

there are certain cultures that think eating the skin of most fruits is wrong. but usually the skin of any fruit holds the most nutrients so if it's edible, i'm eating it.

definitely. i've never gotten into any weight loss fad such as low carb/no cheese/all veggie. i eat what i want. i try to be balanced. i have snacks and have dessert every day. i eat candy sometimes and pizza on occasion. i eat carbs all the time and don't really pay attention to it. as long as my calories are in check and…

when i first started losing weight my boyfriend was really against it. he loves bigger girls. always has. it kind of confused me and even today i still feel like he must be joking. but he legit says if i'm super skinny one day he'll still think i'm beautiful and will love me still. but like "i'll love you no matter what"…

i tend to be around 1200 to 1300 a day. and i usually have a sandwich, a salad, a frozen meal, some fruit, and some sugary snack. i often eat lasagna, pizza, tacos, and cookies. the secret is replacing ingredients with healthier choices. my mom makes a sandwich that's 500 calories. mine are 150. if she makes tacos you're…

no specific brand, but any scent that is apples. hence my name. i have country apple, candy apple, cinnamon apple, apple pear.

i rarely EVER actually exercise and i've lost almost 50 pounds. i've tried various videos, i've gone to the gym, i've worked out with friends and nothing really clicked. i fully believe there is a workout out there for everyone. you need to keep trying things until you find something that works for you. and they don't have…

i wish my boyfriend would cook. he can't make anything past a bowl of cereal. but if he ever managed to surprise me with a home cooked meal it would be absolutely amazing.

pizza.

saw this a while ago on tumblr. i've lost an elephant's heart.

followed you all back. c:
