I am currently on vacation back in the states, and today I went and just tried on clothes.. . I have never had fun trying on clothes, but I had a blast today! I even fit into some size 4's... who would have…

What a great victory!! Congrats to you! I know this victory - - and I don't think it is a small victory - - it is a big victory (to me it was) so go ahead, do the happy dance! You deserve it! Em

I am 5' 6" starting weight May 2010: 220 started mfp Oct 30/31 2011: weighed 164 current weight haven't logged it yet - jumped on the scale this morning! 148 goal weight 135 I am happy with my current weight - thinnest I have been since high school - but would really like to know what i look like at 135, I don't think that…

I am from Washington State - United States currently live in the Kingdom of Tonga - in the South Pacific -

I have the same issue - lost 70 pounds, and I still go for the XL clothes to try on first, then I put them on and I am swimming in them! It is a weird feeling. I would like to know how to mentally change the way I think as well! Em

I so know what you mean! Last year I was a very snug 16 - prob should have been in an 18.... Now I am very comfortable 10 and in some sizes an 8! Found my favorite brand of Jeans (LUCKY) and I can get on the size 8 - - - but can't breathe well! lol... goal to be able to wear the size 8 with out the muffin top hanging over!…

I think this is a great question! I have this issue of seeing myself fat, but the other day I caught a glimpse of myself in a doorway (reflection) I was shocked that I was looking at myself! ( I thought who is that? Seriously did a double take, Oh My God it is me!!) I have major issues with clothes, right now. I live in a…

When I received my license I was 16 years old. I lied and said I weighed 150, I was somewhere in my 160's..... I am now 38 years old, I had NEVER changed my drivers license! ( Highest weight 220ish) I am happy to say I NOW weigh only 4 pounds more than my license says! woo hoo!! 154! Yeah! Cheers, Em

This is taken in the Kingdom of Tonga - I live there! Small country in the South Pacific, about 300 miles from Fiji. In the island group called Vava'u. I actually took this in Aug, and have lost 15 pounds since the pic was taken, need to upload a new one! Thanks!

bump, I will add pics tomorrow!

@snookumss Love your guns!! Nice arms! Cheers, Em

I am working on it!! Lots of planking! Wooo, it is a work out!!

Congrats to you! 20 lbs made a big difference on you! Definetly see the change! Cheers Em

Thank you all for the well wishes, it was a big day for my weigh in! Not only did I hit the healthy BMI... I am actually at what I was in highschool! Wow!! Thanks Again, Cheers! Em

Agree!! Oops that was suppose to include a quote from another poster... I guess I did it wrong! Sorry. It was in agreement to Montey6!!

Just started watching Season 4 - I do enjoy the show.... My bone to pick with the writers is the whole hand issue??? So stupid! Either explain what is actually wrong with the hands, or cut it from the show! Did I miss something with the hands?? it is so irritating! OK, done ranting. Cheers, em

I was wondering the same thing. I wanted to write it on a calendar - so I could see if the prediction meets reality!

They haven't announced the tour dates YET! (unless I missed it) I am so excited! I am currently living in the middle of no where in the South Pacific, but I want to take a journey to where ever they are playing! Can't wait!! Cheers, Emily

Worst date I had... YEARS ago - I have currently been marrried for 12 years! This guy asked me out - over and over - I always said no. I then finally decided to go out with him. He goes through the drive through for Jack in the Box and asks me for money after he orders.... uhm... hello you asked me you are suppose to have…

My heaviest with pregnancy was some where around 235 pounds. Honestly I can't remember I would get on the scale and not look, I knew it was high for me. I have mad stretch marks on my stomach.... they have faded over the years and gotten smaller. But are still there. I am now at 158 pounds, and it has only been the last 15…

Great!!!

I have lost around 56 pounds so far. I am 38, and have had two kids... so my stomach has been a bit stretched. It is definitely a lot smaller than before - however "flat" it is not, yet.... Still have a tire around me, but it is a baby tire now!

I am restarting it - I did it last year, and was loving it, until I ended up with a wrist injury... so this time I am doing every week twice and taking it slowly! I think it is a great program. Em

Welcome! I am an American living some what close to you in the Kingdom of Tonga... thought I would say hello! Cheers, Em

It is very important to track how many miles you have on your shoes. I trained for 10 months with 3 different pair of shoes. About 2 months before the race - when you are doing some of your longer runs, and before you start to taper - I broke in my "new" pair that I wanted to race in.... you want them to have some miles on…

I am also living abroad, I am in the South Pacific. It has been very hard for me to learn the metric system, at least on the meters now - I can make it work... however all the measurements, I have not yet conquered. I am working on it though! I sometimes feel so much like a foreigner - it is nice to have a place of comfort…
