I make this at home, all the time! But, I don't use sour cream or taco seasoning. I've just been doing salsa and cream of mushroom. Sometimes I don't even have cream of mushroom so I just use salsa! Haha. I like to experiment with the salsa.. mango salsa, various different kinds.. it's always amazing! It's so simple! Toss…

You can do it! I started at a very similar weight as you. It's pretty intimidating, sometimes.. but, still, it's worth it!!

Hair, I wash it only every 2 or 3 days. I'm extremely dry, so I have to be careful about showers, especially in winter. I use baking soda instead of shampoo but i use a normal conditioner and deep conditioner (about twice a week.). I try not to blowdry but sometimes i have to give it a short blast (its quite long-- almost…

I recommend the most epic manga of all time, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! Running for over 25 years. ;D You can start from the beginning if you want ( I did), but most people find the art/story pretty rough.. A lot of people recommend starting from Part 3 - Stardust crusaders. This is the most famous part of Jojo because it…

:drinker: Cheers to that! Just think of all the other NSVs that will pile up, day by day! Now that's a great gift you're giving yourself!! :happy:

Congratulations!! It sounds like a victory well earned!! :bigsmile: You sound super fit, too!! You're awesome! :wink:

If you could bottle and sell that feeling, you'd be a millionaire. :bigsmile: Totally jealous. That's a major goal for me.. I'm gonna jump for joy when I reach it!

I agree about scheduling the water.. I get so distracted at work and I don't get the water in, so I make guidelines -- I'm a teacher so I'll make sure I finish my water bottle every period, and refill before the next one. THat way I get in almost all of my water before i leave work. :D

Yeah, I eat a lot of tofu already. Good stuff.

I feel ya, girl!! I feel like food addiction is the root of my problem, too. I just LOVE EATING and was in the habit of eating constantly. It's been really hard to stop eating constantly. The good thing is that while I'm at work, I can't overeat for no reason, haha. I'm busy teaching and whatnot but when I get home I have…

I think people have said most of what I was going to say. I just wanted to remind you that there a lot of other people starting their journeys just like you! We've been up and down, too. Most of us have failed more times than we can even count. Read tons of success stories and visualize your goal as much as you can to stay…

Don't worry, we all have those days!! If you can, why not do some exercise? Put on some music and jump around or clean something-- do dishes or scrub the bathtub or anything. Then you can log that exercise and get your calories back on track. Still, though, you're not going to be perfect every day. Even long-time users and…

I think we've all felt that way after a rough week/day/etc.. But you know that avoiding the scale won't fix the problem. Not seeing the number doesn't protect you from a gain.. if it's there, it's there! It's always better to be realistic and honest with yourself. Even if it means seeing a horrifying number on the scale. :)

Right now my goal is 130 (at 5'4") .. But I might end up going lower or higher, it depends on how I look and feel. I haven't been close to that weight as an adult, so, I can only estimate.

YOUR DOG IS SO CUTE. Also, it sounds like you've been through a whole lot this year. ANd you['re still trucking! You look awesome. :D Congratulations!!

You look great! ANd you have a wonderful hourglass figure. Congratulations on all your hard work!!

Heyy! We're about the same age, at around the same weight.. I'll send you a friend request. :D

Hey, I sent a friend request. I'm about the same age (25) and have about the same to lose (like 90 pounds). :D

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Lookin' good!! What a difference, geeze!!! You're so close to a healthy BMI, I'm jealous~~~~ Can't wait for similar results, myself!! :laugh:

You look amazing!! And I think you're onto something with the challenges.. I've signed up for one starting int he new year and I think my competitive spirit is going to come out, haha!! Though, maybe I'll sign up for even more.. hm!!! Also, you look great post-workout. Nothing like the glow of a good burn!!…

Until you get used to the taste, try adding a spoon of honey. It should help the flavor. Also, if you're brewing it at home, make sure you're not steeping it too long or using boiling hot water. (Let it cool just slightly before adding the boiling water.) Itll taste really bitter if you do these things. Anyway, good luck!…

I'm an american and I've been living in Korea for about a year and a half. It's been good to me. Came here to work, but it looks like I'll be moving around a good amount instead of going home soon. Just saying.

You're incredible! You lost a whole person, and it shows!! Damn! You look awesome! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Awesome!! What a transformation!! I'm hoping for similar results! :P You look great!

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: That's amazing!! What an inspiration. Thanks for posting! You make the impossible look possible!! :drinker: :heart:

Congratulations!!! I hope you're ready to say goodbye to the 200s forever! AND GOOD RIDDANCE!!!:drinker: I can't wait to be in your shoes!! It's my first mini-goal... I'm still pretty far away but it's going to feel amazing getting back under 200.. (geeze, it's been way too long..)

Huge difference!!! Thanks for the inspiration. I took my "before" pictures last week.. I can't wait to have some "Afters" !!

I can't wait for that to happen to me.. i never lied about my weight, but they never asked me to update my weight (or any of those other fields) since I got my first lisence.. when I was 16 years old!! Needless to say, I am NOT 160 pounds... :laugh: YET! can't wait to actually hit that weight and go below it like you!…

High fives to that!! Oh yeahhh!! You look awesome. :D Can't wait to see progress just like yours someday!!
