I had that thought too when I started running again. My best advice. Don't think about what people think. You are doing this so you feel better about you and you can be healthier. Just get out there and do it and don't worry about other people. Soon you will look better running anyways. Look at it that way. In technique…

Let's Go Pens!!!!!

I've had several moments in the last three years of my journey. 1. My best friend and my sister in law both crying in the same weekend telling me how great I look. 2. My neighbors stopping me on the street during my run to tell me how they've noticed my transformation. 3. Being able to run at all. I never thought I would…

I LOVE Hockey! I can watch any kind of hockey and anyone play. My teams of choice though is the Pittsburgh Penguins. I have been a fan since I was 10. I am a diehard Pittsburgh fan no matter what..even the Pirates(even though they suck). Love me some Steelers Football. College, definitely Penn State all the way. WE ARE…

Awesome!! I immediately get rid of my bigger clothes. Don't want to have a fall back if I gain weight. Gives me incentive to keep going with my goals.

I'm coming from 289 currently at 181. It's a great feeling. I'm pretty comfortable in my skin and would only like to lose a bit more. But in all honestly I wouldn't mind staying where I am if it came down to it. Congrats and good luck!!

:-/ can't figure out how to post pictures....Alex Skarsgard and Kris Letang....for me anyways

I don't think I have enough drool in my mouth for all this yumminess

Wow I have a hard time deciding who is hotter here. I love them both so much!

Drool.....

I have two tattoos and they are both very meaningful to me. Don't rush into a tattoo. Put a lot of thought into what you want since it will be with you forever. It took me almost two years to be find exactly what I wanted for my second tattoo. Fattier places are better if you are afraid of the pain. I got my first tattoo…

289 January 2009..Never again. I've changed everything.

couldn't have said it better myself! I hate the Patriots!

There is an option to make your own recipes. Figure the amount of servings in that recipe and then the computer will configure what is in said recipe and you can use just log it that way. I do my chili that way.

Add me too!

I'm not a numbers person at this point. When I started I was. Granted there is still a little bit of weight I would like to lose. But I am more excited about the way I feel and how much my fitness levels are going up even if the scale isn't going down. I love running!!! Realized today while running that my mile time went…

I had the same problem and it took a few weeks stuck at the same weight before it paid off and I just recently lost 1.8 pounds. Don't give up and do what everyone else is trick your body but don't overdue it. It worked for me after weeks of stalemate. Just need to lose about 9 more now!

Help is always good! Feel Free to add me! We all could use a little help!

Feel free to add me we all need support!!!

I have that same problem. But I don't have the money or means to get it removed. So I have accept the loose skin as a trophy and a reminder of where I came from and don't want to go back to. Surgery really is the only way that I have found. So accept it or pay for it lol. Whichever is best for you.

Welcome and congrats on the new addition. I would like to add you as a friend. the more support the better!!!!

Eat smartly at night. Nothing heavy and try to do it at least 2-3 hours before you plan to go to bed. I find fruit or a sugar free pudding or something small can satisfy me without undoing everything I have done with the rest of my day. Just be smart about it and don't get out of control. Keep reminding yourself why you…

It has become a rite of passage for me. My dad was runner in school and he was very good at it. He still holds a record at my high school for the mile the year he graduated in 1972. I was never athletic in high school. Far from it actually I was in the band. Just never had the motivation to do it. My brother was the…

Tired of being afraid to lose the weight because of my eating disorders. I gained a lot of weight with my boyfriend when he had a tumor removed from his leg and he couldn't walk for almost a year. I became the biggest I had ever been in my life. I accepted I was going to be fat forever. My boyfriend loved me so why would…

I know what you are talking about but I think I have it under control now. Hoping to keep it that way. Stress I think did it too me. I only gained back like five though. Here is too keeping it off and losing some more!! I am holding steady at 185 right now..but I am okay with that, considering where I came from (289). Good…

The more the merrier I have about 15 pounds more I want to lose. I will add all of you!

Hi everyone! I have already lost 105 pounds to date on my own. I just recently found MFP and am grateful I did. It helps keep me on track to lose the last 15-20 I want to lose. I know how it takes a lot of support when you are trying to lose weight. I got a lot and would like to add support to as many people as I can. So…

I love love love Turbo Fire. Need to order myself a set instead of borrowing my friends.
