Well said. I think society still has quite a large stigma on the man being shorter than the woman, but is does truly come down to the heart.

What a tremendous goal - excited to journey with you!

Thanks for sharing!

Tell that last voice to go jump off a cliff - it's not welcome here!! I wonder if you'd be up for a challenge; look in the mirror right now and find at LEAST one thing that you love about yourself. You'll be losing weight and loving yourself even more along the way, but you gotta start loving yourself now, or it may be too…

A chick on a Harley. As a fellow chick I think that's super cool. :) In the near future, you'll be shedding tears of joy over how great you feel! :) Here's to tracking food and working our butts off!

That's awesome!! If we lived close enough, I'd say, "let's play!!" Although right now my full court press looks a lot like my body pressed horizontally to the floor!! Your first motivation is great, your second one is just plain fun! :)

As someone who doesn't like breakfast (I'm never hungry until 10:00, even though my day starts at 6:30 am) I've considered a protein shake such as PGX. Have either of you (or anyone else) tried any other brands, and is there one you would suggest to start with? Thanks! Chel Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss…

Hello everyone! I was part of a group that ended on Valentine's Day. I lost about 23 pounds and have been in a hold/maintain pattern these past weeks due to stress/major exam situation. To be honest, I will probably maintain for another week or so - sometimes you just need a break from focusing on losing weight - but…

Love it - what a great idea!!

Happy, happy Valentine's Day everyone! My final weight for this challenge is 186.2. While it might not be as close to my goal weight of 182 as I would like, it is significantly, ecstatically farther away from my start weight of 211! For that I am most happy and proud. As has been mentioned already in this thread, it truly…

I'm totally planning on doing it too! Since I normally weigh in Sunday mornings, it's not that much longer, but still... :)

@stephanie - glad you're moving down. Can be so frustrating when you're stuck as the same number. Last week, I actually re-weighed myself with one of my dogs because I thought the scale might be broken. It wasn't. :)

@Jersey - You've got so much change going on right now, I'm somehow not surprised! :)

Thanks for the encouragement - and a huge congratulations on the exceeding of the goal! What great confirmation of the journey that you're on. And seriously, you will do GREAT rockin' that dress 2.5 weeks from now!! :)

I hope so for you too! Good job!!

I did adjust my goal, up by 3 pounds so that I could focus on something that I genuinely feel I can attain. We're all heading in the right direction so good job!! :)

lol - my last posting didn't convey as much of the humor as I wanted it to... that is quite the outfit... are you sure you don't secretly own one?! :)

I googled it and all I can say is, wow. I mean, really. Wow.

Nice pic by the way... :)

I like that idea - July 1st. I've actually determined that if I make my goal weight for Vday, then I'd only have to lose 1.5 pounds per week to make my final goal weight by July 1st. I like that! :) As for comments, suggestions... it's not something that appears to be changeable, but I really wish the posting section was…

Welcome back LegalChica! Sorry guys that I missed last week's weigh-in... not too impressive, only lost .9 pounds. Spent one day completely out and the next few recovering... Still not quite 100%, which is frustrating because while I want to exercise, I need to get better too! :( Good news is that I'm all set to pickup a…

LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing mrsmellymac!!

Hear, hear!!! Why can't Christmas lead straigth to Spring?!?!

That's awesome! :)

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!! What a wonderful surprise and encouragement all rolled into one. Congrats!

Congratulations Pany!! That's excellent! "This Weeks Loss: 6.2 pounds"

You are not alone!! :) I've heard great things about these bras, but have been loathe to purchase one until I'm closer to my goal weight (they're not very cheap). http://bounce.titlenine.com/product/302201.do
