^ This, execpt I'm not "happy" about having to wear a sports bra almost all the time, but they definitely are perkier now! lol! Think this was the biggest difference my guy friends noticed :noway: No more cushioning around my hip bones. If I bump into sometime it hurts! That other "non fat" parts look bigger. I never…

Routine, routine, routine. Make it a habit to always look at the calories in a meal, decide it's it's worth it. Making the food in bulk is a great idea! See if you can find someone in your life to talk about your weight loss goals and is maybe looking to lose some weight too. Try to check in with eachother. Make working…

These two are probably the ones I get the most. Most people don't realize that it's almost an insult that they comment on how "skinny" you are now, like they were trying to be too nice before and not commenting on you being fat. Personally I've had a lot of people ask me if I'm going to stop now trying to lose weight... no…

I'm from the corn fields of central Illinois! Have to represent the sturdy folk of the Mid West :laugh:

Congrats! That's a big deal!!!! :smile:

Glad you didnt run that in your heels! lol. You should try the run again soon!

:smile: That's great! Must've felt good to have people appreciate your efforts! Keep it up and you'll hear it even more!

Welcome to MFP! You're with people who understand and will keep you motivated! :heart: Feel free to add me if you need support. I'm 5'11" and was morbidly obese at 300 pounds. Just recently got into a healthy BMI. Feel free to look at my profile for more about me lol.

Way to push yourself!! :happy:

If you need some motivation, im here to give it! :smile: Anyone feel free to add me

Aw geez thanks everyone! Those are great NSVs! :smile:

Polo 571: Wholly moly! 275 is a whole heck of a lot! Shoot for 2 reps now!!! barians: Thank you! 50 pounds is a wondeful accomplishment! Say good bye to those last 10 pounds!

Those are all great NSVs! Being more active and restrictive yourself guys is both difficult and fullfilling! And Ullgetthere: You're so sweet! thank you! I changed my profile pic for some motivation (though it's hard to see)! The dress comes from Charlotte Rousse, was only $35! Way to say no to all of those goodies! Bet it…

that's great! You'll be in that smaller size in no time!

"You MUST be a plus size model!" Uhhhh... Yes.... I'll be featured in the "Sport Illustrated-Big Addition" :huh:

Ugh I know how you feel with the college life... just binged on booze and late night burgers last night =/ and they want to do it all over again! Bah, I need less good looking friends so I stop comparing lol. Feel free to add me :smile:

Here's my game plan: Everyone gather around and huddle! Halloween: Do quality control on candy for trick or treaters. Don't need them complaining I gave them a razor blade in a snickers. Thanksgiving: Turkey coma Christmas: Still be in sleep from turkey coma = no calories consumed New Years: Wake up from coma and buy…

Haha this conversation makes me even chillier!:indifferent: Thanks so much for all of the responses! Great to hear about people being the same or different! I love autumn! Hope you all do too! Let's do a bonfire! :laugh:

I'm a senior in college too! Debating if want to try the real world job search or go for my masters. Why is it so hard to balance social and diet lifestlyes? =/ Hard to have one without the other sometimes! Sent you a friend request :smile: Anyone else is free to add me!

Being warm will come in really handy for you in the winter time! :smile: I think ill just start carrying weights with me all the time tehehe

Haha it could be a myth, but my doctor told me the same thing, and webmd said it too. (but you're right, don't think there's too many studies done on it). I love hot chocolate! But dang those calories! Found the Diet hot chocolate, 25 calories, delicious! Perfect for chilly fall nights :drinker:

During the summer (and most of september) I've been chugging ice cold water. It ups your metabolism, because your body is working to heat up your core. Think it's time we alternate warm and cold drinks to stop shivering lol

Thank you! It's been a few years in the process! I do the same in my office! I need my feet toasty all the time! Everyone who comes in think im crazy lol

My family actually now has a history of thyroid cancer, most likely from being exposed over in europe. It's amazing how they can track the cancer to a certain amount of years ago! I may want to have a check up on it you're right... easier to just bundle up! lol I used to be warm all the time, hot cheeks and all! Nice in…

Nice to see all of the young folks on here! I'll be 23 in exactly one week! Anyone feel free to add me! Proud to be among all of you lovely people! :heart:

Haha too many things to list for tips! Best thing is that on this site now! Fun (yet sad) tip: I read you're a college student, don't forget those beers have lots of empty cals! :drinker:

What a transformation! Your daughters have a great role model!

Haha of course it's not "necessary", but you might find it motivational! I did the same as you and deleted almost all of the old pics of me being my larger weight. Now I wish I hadnt. Would've been a great source to keep me going! Now i have to creep on other people's facebooks to find pics of me then. 3 pounds won't show…

1.Wearing heels and having people call you an Amazon 2. Taking pics next to short friends, they look like your children 3. Seeing a lot of dandruff on top of peoples heads 4. "You're not fat, you're just really tall!" 5. Having your hoo-hah showing on every short dress ever made 6. Short shower heads 7. Finally having head…

It's the beeeeeeeeeeeeest to have an ex or old crush look at you after you've lost weight! It's been one of the best motivational factors for me to keep going! Especially since guys can't seem to hide their reactions well when they see you again! It's that jaw drop, "ah ****, what have I done" :brokenheart: moment. YES!…
