i like brummel and brown's yogurt butter.

i didn't know this existed for quite some time.. just found out recently.. with it you can find local people to bond with as well as meet up and be healthy with.. which i think i would be creeped out if someone from my area added me. lol. oh and i totally got local people to come up when i tried it.

as everything with us ladies, it can go either way.. lol. sometimes it is totally motivating that a hottie is checking you out... but then it can also make you feel all self conscious and make you lose your focus. i agree that if we think you are attractive then we probably like it more.. if we deem you unattractive we…

added you. been here a while.. still gonna be here for alot longer.. if not forever. =) && i dunno what holiday you are talking about but 7lbs isnt too bad!! you will get it right back off.. just get back to what you were doing before. looking forward to cheering you on.. oh and AWESOME progress pics.

my first tattoo (i dont have a picture of) is my name Crystal & tribal on each side of it.. i didnt think i would ever actually get a tattoo so it didnt have any real meaning or anything. but i would still get it again. its on my lower back. then i got my wrist tattoos when i weighed 250lbs. it was my first ultimate goal.…

paintballing, skinny dipping, seeing a waterfall.

daily goal was 1200. i ate 3588. no exercise. it was the day after christmas. i had 3309 the day before.. i remember a cookie binge in the hotel room. it wasnt pretty. i literally ate most of what i could find in the room. i was so bored and ready to be home.

aww thank you! =)

my first compliment was from a lady who goes to this chinese restaurant that my family goes to EVERY friday. (yeah i know lol) but she quietly asked my mom "is she losing weight?? she looks good!!" and then she decided to tell me herself after my mom said yes i was. for me i had the extra money and buying new clothes made…

he ran too fast for me and i couldnt keep up. :(

i would bet there is some emotional healing going on. plus when you lose weight, your hormones do get a little mixed up. i've gotten pretty teared up on some runs or walks.

depends what your picture shows.. i usually only get friend requests from dedicated users.. as thats all i really am interested in. if you show boobs or butt then you will attract attention from people who just want to collect you. i dont belong in a collection. i belong as the only masterpiece.

hey. welcome to a new time in your life! if you would like friends i wouldnt mind cheering you along. best of luck. you can do this!

excellent transformation! you look great and younger!

i have heard a ton about polar watches and garmins. they are the most popular brands. i would really recommend one of those. if you try to buy cheap (like i did) then you are most likely going to get HIGHLY inaccurate readings. also watches with chest straps are more accurate.

i lost my first 40 to 60lbs WITHOUT exercise. but i also started at 327lbs. i went with MFP calorie suggestion for the longest. if i had to guess at least a year.. but then i got stuck on 1200 calories for months and i figured out it wasnt enough for me (and most women). i became active 3 times a week after those first 40…

oh yes i have had some really bad food weeks. but i keep logging. i admit them. sometimes on the newsfeed.. sometimes just on my food diary. oh yeah thanks you just reminded me i left one thing off last night. lol. last night i had more then i should. i could have walked away.. my diary was probably already off because you…

to introduce myself my name is crystal. i started here dec 12, 2011 at 327lbs. i now weigh 170lbs. this are my opinions and things i go by.. i am not an expert. i think you are really wrong for reducing your calories especially if you workout that much. and can i say you are awesome for putting in that much work. i just…

rudimental - free

i completely understand wanting people who weigh about the same or have the same amount to lose.. just please remember not to compare or make it a competition as every body is different. something might work for them but not you at all. i have about 45ish pounds left to lose and complain because im tired of doing things or…

i'd totally wait.. otherwise it might shift and come out so much different then you wanted. i have a lower back tattoo that has completely lost its shape and looks pretty stupid.. it wasnt the most amazing work anyways.. but it clearly needs to be covered up now.. i also have two wrist tattoos that even they look different…

well you have to love yourself where you are now.. or nothing will change. like u said back then u thought u were fat. i know thats not easy. as for my personal journey.. its totally worth it! but then again i was morbidly obese. i dont "diet". i eat whatever i want within calories. i dont watch my macros and all that. im…

it was taken last week

personally, i calorie cycle so i have high and low calorie days. meaning for instance on monday, wednesday, friday i eat 1400 and tuesday, thursday, saturday i have 1700 . this allows me my "cheat day" on sundays cuz it basically takes the extra 300 every low day and adds to my basic day on sunday. i do believe that this…

fuelband WILL NOT do what you want it to do. i own the old kind.. and while i like it.. i wouldnt buy it. go for something else.

i would go with what the box says.. BUT considering i am familiar with this.. i would mention that there are lots of different box sizes of stouffers... they have three sizes individual, family, and party size.. all of that could also have the numbers wrong. i always go by the boxes.. i scan foods but i check to see what…

i donated them. i keep them until i literally wont wear them.. or until they make me feel depressed and unhappy. and i pretty much buy alot of clearance items now. =)

well i am 28 and have lost 155 already.. but i still have more to lose and im struggling a little.. always up for more friends and to show it can be done. best of luck to you. don't give up you can totally do this. and by the way even if i reach my ultimate i will still be here for many years maintaining and rooting for my…

since everyone here is so amazing and advanced.. i will put in my time for the turtles.. my first and only timed race came in at 1:05:55. mostly walked.. and there were plenty of people still behind me and my friends.
