- Friggin' fruit, especially dried. No longer eat dried fruit but I make room in my diet for fresh fruit. - Nuts. Holy ****balls, who knew that a small handfull could pack such a punch? I only eat them as a "treat" now on workout days, and I have to pre-portion them or I won't be able to stop. - Tortillas or wraps. Who the…

This happened to me. Everytime I would brush it or wash it it would come out in bushels. This was about 6 months into my new diet and exercise routine. I also took multivitamins and my nutrition was spot on. I thought it would stop after a few weeks and when it didn't, I became worried as my hair was thinning to the point…

Unsweetened almond milk for me as well! I never was a big dairy milk drinker to begin with but I love dairy products like cheese and yogurt. So I agree with the above, why waste liquid calories on whole dairy milk if there is a lower calorie substitute? Also love using unsweetened almond milk for my protein shakes, it…

Rarely does one get to read this much nonsense in one forum post - and we are only 4 pages deep.:noway: Let's break out some gifs please!

I also celebrated the small milestones and would say the same thing about never wanting to see that number on the scale again. It also got me pumped up enough to keep chugging along to see if I could lose the next 10 pounds and then say "Screw you 200" and so on. I do urge you to find other ways to celebrate rather than…

Wow, reading this makes me want to scream. No, the customer is NOT ALWAYS right. This is how we ended up being self-entitled *kitten* around here. You signed a contract and commited to pay a certain amount per month for a certain amount of time. End of story. If the owner is a nice person, they can let you out of that…

For the past 20 months I have weighed in every single Monday morning. I purposely chose that day of the week to hold me accountable over the weekend and it works for me!

Wow, what an amazing job! Congrats, you looked fantastic in your wedding dress!

How funny, I recently attended a seminar of sleep disorders and how lack of sleep, or lack or proper restful sleep, can affect you weight loss goals. Here is what I took away from it: There are two hormones in your body called leptin and ghrelin. They control feelings of hunger and fullness. Ghrelin stimulates appetite,…

What a massive weight loss - congrats on this amazing accomplishment. Your transformation is incredible, all your hard work has definitely paid off.

And this is why I am friends with you guys on MFP, Mikki and Jerry...

I sometimes stay strong and other times I just give in. When I end up giving in, I add some time to my evening workout :laugh:

Victoria Secret Cheekini Panty. They are seemless and don't get stuck where they shouldn't :laugh: I run with them, lift with them, bike with them. They are awesome!

Happy Anniversary my friend! You are beautiful and strong and I am so happy to have you as company on this journey. I can't wait until May 2015 when you cross that Marathon finish line and tell us all about it :drinker:

I would have taken the donut and flat out asked if this was his peace offering for the introduction fart he welcomed you with. Situation is already awkward, how much worse can it get? And honestly, you never know, he might be so freaking embarrased about this whole thing that it might be a relief for him if you bring it up…

Wow, I am super impressed. This is serious dedication and hard work. Thank you for the details, they are extremely helpful and reassure me that I am on the right track!

Woah, totally awesome! :love: How long did it take her and if you don't mind me asking, what does her diet and workout routine look like?
-
All of the above plus: - if you under-eat and are proud of it - if you make ignorant and/or uneducated posts or comments in the forums and you refuse to become "educated" - if you log bogus activities such as light cleaning, grocery shopping, doing laundry - if you are of the strong opinion that there is only one way to go…

I am 5'4" and currently weigh around 145. I have between 138 and 145 for the past 8 months and I have been trying to figure out why on earth I can't break through this "plateau" because I really do want to lose another 20 pounds. I found the answer about 3 months ago, I am at a point where I am comfortable. Comfortable…

I did Couch-to-5K and ran a 5K the weekend after I was done. 2 months later I ran a half marathon, no training. The longest run I had ever done until then was 5 miles. It was all mind over matter and knowing that if I needed to, I would stop and walk. Adrenaline and sheer determination kept me going and I finished a heck…

Bahaha, this totally made me crack up. I am adding this to my "runner's talk": - Corral C is where it's at. Corral B runs too fast to talk and Corral C wears tutus and talks too much - Never trust a guy who wears the marathon's shirt on race day - You don't want a Corral C dude hitting on you...

I am currently training for an October Sprint Triathlon and a November Marathon. Did 4 races this spring, two 10Ks and two Half Marathons. To be honest, my main focus is weight lifting as it also benefits with running, swimming and biking. So currently my workout schedule is about 60 minutes a day, 2-3 days dedicated to…

I started running at 200 pounds (Couch-to-5K) and had shin splints badly in the beginning. Two things I adjusted: 1.) Getting fitted for proper running shoes at a professional running store that measured my foot, arch, width and looked at my foot position while running in the store. 2.) A heart rate monitor to keep my…

Wow, just wow! What an amazing story to read, you have so much heart, determination and fire in you. And it's so nice to see that your hubby is right there by your side. I agree with you, a journey like this can make a relationship stronger. I am inspired by your accomplishments as a runner - keep up the great work, you're…

That's such a great NSV, what an awesome moment that must have been on the roller coaster :drinker:
