I figured out today that I don't have to hold a camera way above my head to get my double chin out of the picture. It just isn't quite there anymore. I mean I am still over 300lbs, but after losing 31lbs, my double chin seems to have shrunken quite a bit.

I think it depends on your body, really. I weigh a lot more than most of you, so I lose more weight a little easier (at first).

Wow, what a huge difference. you must feel great. :) major congrats & thanks for the inspiration.

You look beautiful!

you look tiny!!! great job lol

you look great. :) really good inspiration for those of us *ahem* that got off track during the holidays. lol

I'm with everyone else on this matter. I'd enter it manually, because if you put moderate it kind of negates the exercise, and then you count the exercise double (technically). It also takes away from your calories when you make your life 'sedentary' so that's up to you. I'd rather have more calories & exercise more lol. I…

these kind of things seem so unreachable to me. I feel like giving up every day. this is why I come on mfp to read stories like yours, to keep me goin! thanks girly!

beautiful girl :) you really can tell a difference, especially in your face. keep going :)

That's awesome. I hope I get to that day (or at least a similar day) int he future.

Hey ladies, just checking in. I've been out of town & just got back. I'm pretty sure this weeks weigh-in will be awful. In fact, I'm considering skipping it because I get SO discouraged & end up eating more when I gain. I had moms cooking all weekend, so we know what that does to a diet. But I've got my bottle of water…

SW: 334.5 LAST WEEK! :336.0 CW: 331.0 :) !! So that's 3.5 of the 20 I want to lose by Christmas. Woot!

A little humorous rant about my height... So I have a sister who is one year older than me. We are the exact (literally) same height, but other then that we're completely different. She is about 115 to maybe 120lbs, blond, green eyes, and obviously by my picture I am not. Aside from inheriting all of those great genes, she…

Checking in for the first time in a few days! Really excited for this weeks Wednesday weigh in! How bout y'all!! Thanks for everyone who's been keeping me in their thoughts & prayers. Tough time, but I know God will help me through it. Thus far, things have been working out. :) Thanks ladies & gents (do we have gents?? lol)

Weighing in a little late today (sorry, just got home): Starting Weight (challenge): 334.5 Goal Weight: 314.5 Current Weight: 336.0 :( I have been sticking to my diet SO WELL except for ONE day (sunday!!) I have NO CLUE why I gained unless it's water weight or something :(

I did pretty good today! I did weigh in a day early & found that after gaining 1lb earlier in the week, I've lost half a pound again. Hoping by tomorrow I'll be breaking even on last weeks weigh in. I always get so discouraged when I gain, & feel like giving up. It feels like it takes SO MUCH WORK to lose but so LITTLE to…

I honestly understand girl. Reading your post, though, made me realize that I can't give up, because I dont want YOU to give up. Today & yesterday were bad days for me. I'm so tempted by all these treats around me, and I have no support system. It's really difficult to keep going with stuff like this going on. But I have…

You look gorgeous :) so inspring.

Lord YES, I even refer to it as "spending" my calories lol

Just got home from a Halloween party. I surprised myself by only having one beer, & when we went to eat afterwards only eating the main course, NO fries (even though they came with it) now I'm doing my push ups cause I forgot lol yay for everyone who is doing well.

Ooh Ooh! I want to join! lol SW: 334.5 GW: 314.5

I've been thinking about this too. Luckily, I don't really have to strategically plan until Christmas (not going to see the fam for Thanksgiving :( :( :( ) but my idea is to eat what I want in moderation, and fill up on fluids (water, non sweetened tea). Not all traditional holiday foods are bad, if you prepare them well…

So, I did the elliptical for half an hour, doing one minute intervals where I let go & then held on (I have awful balance) and my tummy is already sore. Thanks lol

I do the elliptical all the time, thanks for that!

Thanks for that, didn't see before I posted my last post. I did some crunches but nothing else. I'll google these for an instruction lol

Thanks for the input guys. Any suggestions on exercise techniques for the tummy, then? Aside from crunches, IDK what to do.

hubba hubba!

It definitely does work . :) Congrats on your loss.
