Love the downsizing concept!! Wow, you have been through hell and back ! I'd love to support you though this cuz yes, feeling good about yourself, being healthier and living longer is fabulous, but i love that you admit your inspiration is a big ole PHHHHTTTTT to those that betrayed you!! Add me as a friend if you like:)…

im way too out of shape to be able to keep up, so i'll stay behind and slow the zombies down for a bit, but i did have to say how FABULOUS it is to see a new kind of fitness inspired challenge! I'm laughing into my green tea!

@ Shanna - hey, great before pics! I love the black and white dress! @ Baluga, its an early start so i'm just enjoying my green tea but i'm hoping for a strong and sensible day with a wee bit of fun in it! Have a great one guys! :wink:

Hi and welcome! I'm no expert but i would try and add more veggies to your day - maybe replace the calories you are using up on orange juice (try to remember not to drink your calories!) with things like more veggies. 5-6 servings of fruit and veggies will fill you up and give you lots of vitamins and nutrients. i forgot…

chevy88grl - i think i love you ;)

@ Olive - i'm studying for a midterm as well - a credit i'm taking to be a paralegal..you?

OK here we are ..day 2.. How's my Shorties doing today?? I'm taking hubby to the airport as he has a conference in San Fran to go to for the week. I'm actually REALLY looking forward to a week alone - I always eat better and get more things done it seems lol Tonight my daughter is meeting her b/f's parents for dinner so…

sigh. i don't know the science, i don't understand the math. here's what i do know: Week 1 on MFP: tracked every single bite. cut out caffeine, pop, processed food, and aspertame. Stuck to 1150-1200 calories a day, 3 litres of water. Gained 2lbs. Week 2 on MFP - all of the above, only I ate 1400-1500 calories a day. Lost…

yay on the pants!! its like hooking up with an old friend no? and i'm so happy your mom encouraged you - no matter how old or young we are, what mama says still makes a big difference!

i'm 42 years old, 5'2 and weigh 220 lbs. I lost 27 lbs -and gained back 23 when i stopped doing this: 1. 1500 calories a day 2. no pop, not even diet 3. took the sugar out of my coffee, then the cream was skim milk and now its just green tea in the morning. 4. 5-6 SERVINGS of fruits and veggies a day 5. 3 litres of water a…

yep. damn right! again the gas situation should be considered, but this is the kind of thing that makes me GRRR. the staff are well aware of this coupon being mailed out and for the amount of $ you spent they should have OFFERED it to you! actually, if there is a closer one near by, i'd take it back there. Have a FABULOUS…

I should update things. My SW should be 220 as of today! woot woot!! thank you so much for doing this!!

um..a gerbil..but this is only week 2! wow..i am carrying around a new born calf with me everywhere i go..no wonder i'm tired! thanks for the great info!

look at you!! well done!!! xo

Well Said!

actually, i was just telling my g/f last night this is the most friendly/ non judgemental online community i've ever encountered! sure there are trouble makers, and rude people and people who just want to fan the flames, attention seekers (ok yah a few really energetic attention seekers) but you find that everywhere in the…

hey you two! 80 lbs here too (ok really 100 lbs but i've never weighed 123 in my life, except maybe for a brief 2 minutes when I was 12). feel free to send me a friend request if you like what you see in the profile/blog etc. would love to have like minded goal oriented "friends" here!

man have i had days like that! And oddly, it IS usually after a great day ! I'm sorry about your friend and hope she comes through surgery ok. This might not be a popular idea and you'll grunt and groan but my best friend did this for me one day and I'll never forget it. I was so close to the end of a "perfect week". Got a…

i've started making a trip to the gym mandatory on the weekend..maybe schedule (i.e. don't make any other plans on Saturday morning from 8-9 am or something - ever) a work out so you know you've got some extra calories to burn ..that is if you don't already go to the gym on the weekend - if you do, well, add another one…

Thank you for taking this on, i'm excited to start! Not sure if by "send" you meant here, or by email so i did both ! Lisa Height 5'2 Current Starting Weight 223 12 Week Challenge Goal ~ 203

I am SO in !!

WOW!!! That's AWESOME!! and yeah i'm betting a few extra healthy calories might do you some good!! Hope you got a pedi too!

great job!! You must be so proud!

that must feel AWESOME!! good for you!

although beautiful in the before and after, you can certainly see a difference in them!! Good for you!! the number is just a digital output on an electronic box on the floor. How do you FEEL? I bet you feel great!

Although I agree that people are shallow and there is a definite bias against the overweight, I remember reading someone's blog here yesterday (i'm so sorry i don't remember your name!) and she got me thinking. Someone said to her after she had lost a significant amount of weight that she used to shuffle past looking at…

i'm in! I lost 27 lbs and am now 3 lbs shy of having it all back, with a total of 100lbs to lose..blah. let's push and pull each other to the finish line!

Good for you!! And thanks for sharing cuz I was sitting here staring at the ad for poutine on the side bar (sheesh!) and not feeling breakfast inspired at all. I now have some green tea, an apple and a bowl of oatmeal in front of me! Thanks!

whoa hey. WOW!!!!! what an inspiration!! I was wondering this morning ( a few days shy of my 42nd birthday) if maybe i waited too long to lose this weight.. guess not!! you look amazing!!! and you look like you FEEL amazing!! thank you for sharing! ~Lisa

thanks!
