Absolutely stunning!!! Great job. You should be so very proud of yourself! :flowerforyou:

Wow! You look awesome!

Who rocks? YOU DO!!! Thanks so much!

I have done this. I need to be doing this now, actually. I used a 10 lb dumbbell. I would sit straight backed on the edge of the couch and, with both hands, hold the dumbbell by one end and lift it over my head until it was resting on the center of my back. Elbows are up in the air at this point. I would lift it behind my…

OMG, that literally brought tears to my eyes. What an incredible job you've done! You're built so much like me too... you seriously just became a major inspiration to me. *hugs*

Honey, I swear, not long ago I could have written that. It sounded so much like me I even read it in my voice. I've never had the apartment bully problem but the guy buddies who talk about how hot other girls are and find me invisible or just one of the guys, story of my life. I've always fit in better with the guys. I…

That is fantastic! What an inspiration :happy: Thanks so much for sharing!

I don't eat them all back. Usually I will eat back maybe a quarter of my exercise calories. I lose pretty steady at about 2 to 3 lbs a week.

Mine was stuck on my hand for almost two years. I couldn't even get my engagement ring on. Now, the band is at least one size too big and spins freely. I can finlly wear my engagement ring again and it holds the band in place better. Hang in there, you will achieve your goal :happy:

I've been fighting with this recently. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think, "Wow, I really am a good bit smaller than I was." and other times (underwear in the mirror is AWFUL) I feel like I haven't changed much at all. I still have a really long journey ahead of me, over 100 lbs left to go but I had over 200 lbs to…

Still have over 100 to go and I'm very active here. Always great to have new friends with similar goals. Anyone who wishes can add me. :flowerforyou:

I'm extremely active on here. Total I've lost almost 90 lbs and since I've been on here I've lost 54. I still lack another 120+ so I'll be here. I try to be very supportive of all my friends. If you would like to add me, please, feel free :smile:

Non-Scale Victory

Just get some white cotton ones that are a little snug and they should last a while. I'd personally suggest the second hand shops for pants. I've never been able to find shirts at those places but I have like six pairs of pants now that I may have $10 in. I refuse to buy anything new (other than socks and undies) until I…

I think it depends on how big you are when you start to some extent. Like me, I weighed 367 pounds at one point (before starting MFP). I'm at 283 right now and to this point all I have done is count calories and tried to incorporate more fiber and more whole foods to my diet. As I lose more, I expect it will slow down and…

I weigh every morning. It keeps me on track. I see how it fluctuates too and that makes me feel more in tune with my body. Seeing it rise a few pounds doesn't discourage me because I know it's probably water weight. It always goes away.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING THIS! I am thinking about getting one too but like you, was unsure about getting one with the price. This thread has been very helpful to me about making up my mind.

Sending you a friend request. I still have another 128 lbs to lose but have lost a total of 84 so far. I will be here and I will motivate anyone who wants to friend me because I am in this for the long run.

@ Joanne 51971: That IS good. I average about 8 lbs per month.

Since I joined MFP in January I've lost 51 lbs. So that's 51 in 6 months. I've actually lost more than that but that was spread out over the course of the previous year.

I don't do cheat days. Every so often I will find myself in a situation, mostly with friends or my husband, that social etiquette suggests going with the flow. I still log the splurge and forgive myself for it. Sometimes you just need to have a beer and dig into some appetizers. I don't make it a regular thing though.

I don't know how to make pictures show up. Blah. Cool Vanilla Chrysler 300 Touring

My knees quit screaming at me.

Pineapple.

Sounds delicious! I think I would add some bean sprouts and spinach for texture and color. YUM!

I chase my God-daughters with mine and chant, "BELLY MONSTER" at them. They squeal and run. I am having a harder time doing 'Belly Monster' lately though. It is still there, it's mouth just isn't as big as it was. I haven't been exercising, just losing weight and eating more fiber and whole grains. I read that is good to…

I need to be wanted :love:
