Similar! The bar exam helped me find about 20 that I lost, & the fun of being a grownup helped me find another 40 or so. I'm here for inspiration!

Congratulations! You've obviously worked incredibly hard, and you've earned it. Huzzah! :drinker: :drinker:

Yes! Dani - when I lived in Alabama. And my husband is on here ... so is a girl I went to school with from elementary school through high school. But I haven't seen her since she joined MFP. I need to meet more people in my area!

With a little smidge of strawberry preserves. Yum!

Welcome!

I prefer Lane Bryant for mine (40F/38G) simply because they make them look pretty, the straps aren't too thick, and the bands are very supportive with minimal back fat. I don't recommend JCPenney or Soma - both measure more similarly to the Victoria's Secret measurement, which is insufficient for a larger bust. Also, the…

Amazing loss! You look fabulous :smile:

You look absolutely great!!

Fabulous!

You look awesome - such progress! :smile: I'm super proud of you! Keep it up, and I'll definitely take inspiration from you!!

Congratulations :happy: Great job!!

Fabulous!

As long as my foot isn't broken, I'm in. 100%

Y'all are crazy inspiring! Sending this to my hubs now :smile:

Huge difference!! Great job :smile:

You look amazing - absolutely fabulous! But I'm with the other posters, get your motivation back and keep on the journey. You're helping me get back in the saddle again - so thank you for your story & motivation :smile:

I know I'm crazy late to the party, but I'm from RVA (okay, Mechanicsville ... LOVE it) I'm so glad to see so many neighbors!

My cousin told me I needed uglier bridesmaids. I'm going to assume that's because of my back fat, not my busted face. Could be wrong ...

1. When they wink at me - my knees ... totally weak. 2. They laugh so much easier than many women! 3. Height 4. Shoulders 5. Arms 6. The top shelf 7. They fix things - it blows me away the things my husband just knows how to do! 8. The way they love unconditionally - once they fall 9. The *good* smells (not so much the bad…

If I was single, the things I'd look for are forearms and thighs. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate skinny legs on men - they don't do it for me. And fit men who don't spend too much time in the gym have a particular look to their forearms that you don't get elsewhere. If those are there, the other hot muscles…

Eating right, stopping when I was full, not eating unhealthy foods very often, exercising a ton, never thinking about food... such a strange, strange kid I was :wink:

Don't forget to ask your stylist (at a decent salon) how to do this with your hair at your next trim! And there are a lot of DIY beach hair sprays (see below). If your hair is wavy, you can spray the beach spray and scrunch! Or perhaps spray it after you attempt the curling options. I'm not great with my hair - and I find…

I start with like a teaspoon of peanut (or almond) butter, whether I want it or not when I wake up. First thing - within the first 20 minutes. That reminds my body that food is a good thing, and it almost always makes me eat breakfast!

Frankly, I don't have the cleanest house (I'm still learning that my mama isn't going to come clean my house, even after 5.5 years of marriage :smile:). I wipe down the doors. Even the outsides. Stuff gets dirty, people wipe their bodies, bump their hips, etc., on the doors. It's worth doing - and it can be done so quickly!

3 mini doxies here! They're SO much fun on walks in the park - and runners always get a laugh when 3 10-12 pound doggies are trying to murder them - all on a 3-way hot pink coupler leash :smile: They love my healthier lifestyle!

Yum!!

I love the advice in here ... I have a close friend who, if she knows I'm "on the wagon," she gives me lots and lots of advice how to lose weight. She on the other hand lost weight by downing ADD medicine and not eating. It kills me, because she'll call me from the Taco Bell drive thru, and I hear her orders, and then…

First off - no facial cream will fill out a once-full face. And CONGRATULATIONS!! on 41 pounds!! I use a mixture of Olay Complete with SPF during the day, Yes to Blueberries overnight hydrating cream (I bet you know when) and Josie Maran Argan Oil at least once a day. It's a bit antiseptic, so it'll kill any lingering…
