FL is bad for that. lol!!!

Non-trad student, 38, Junior at Western Kentucky University, returning to school for a new career. I'd love to surround myself with great support and encouraging friends. And the more from over seas the better!

Oh wow. What an incredible post. And some great images with wonderful stories! I have so many great things that I have witnessed over the years. I will share two now and, (as long as I can keep it in my ADHD head, I'll return to share other stories. :-) Most recently, there are 2 sets of people that have greatly impacted…

Feel free to add me! I have a 100 to lose. I was involved in MFP heavy at the start of the year, then I let it all slip away. And right after I ditched my fat clothes and for the first time in my life went out and spent several hundred on a new set of SMALLER clothes. I still have them, and I will be wearing them next…

Enigma

:-)

vitaminddd - great job on all the weight loss! Quite impressive! Sounds like we all have some great methods. I like the chocolate, too. ;-) The new clothes is certainly one for me. I want to fit in clothes better rather than busting a button. :-( It will happen!

gerripho that's great news! Since i have been walking so much (to and from school) I have been off my BP meds. I hate taking meds. Well, not really, but it was getting stupid how many bottles of this and that I had. Blah. I like the idea about the belt and outfit! :-) Like your very own championship belt! :-)

Absolutely Phoenixchichi! I couldn't agree more. It irritates me when I see others put down another's reward system. It's different for everyone.

Yes,I can still get texts. I'm not turning squat down right now. I ran the other night, starting the C25K program and was very surprised at how much I hurt and how hard it was. vs how much I used to run? It was insane! And stretching? That was a joke. Couldn't believe it. Just pathetic. I am just letting all the hardships…

I would love new friends as well, i need help with motivation and support. Kinda at a low point. Side note, I'm from the U.S. and would love friends from overseas. I've never been out of the country but I am trying too. I have a good chance at getting a scholarship to study abroad next Fall semester at St. Andrew's in…

I could really use some help in the motivation dept. I started at 262 on Jan. 1 this year, lost 40, gained it back, lost 20 found it again and so on. I know WHAT to do, I just procrastinate, and unmotivated so much. ADHD too. I have added several friends and I post and ask question and blah, blah, blah but I get zero…

Not if you are in a relationship with trust.

These are so incredible. Thanks to everyone for sharing! i am hoping I can post my before/after pics soon.

tinksmommy200 = 10! :-D

Holy wow!! Very impressive! great dedication!!

"This is bull**** and I'm proof. If she makes me chase her, she will look behind and see me walking the other way. " I agree whole heartedly. My ex-wife tried to make me jealous of another guy (before we got married - clue #1), and went on and on about him. Finally I told her to be happy cause I'm out. She asked why and I…

I so agree with you. After a while doesn't the first date seem like a job interview? "I'm ALWAYS on time! And I ALWAYS work at 150%!" Blah, blah, blah. On a date, get it out there. You don't have to let somebody know you were the belching champion of 1996 at your college but sheesh. You don't have to lie about everything.…

Very impressive!!

What an inspiration!! You look great!!

This is very cool!!!! I want to do this! A variation is adding x amount of money and when I hit my goal I reward myself with whatever I have set my mind on. Clothes that fit, etc. :-D

Hopefully they will make those changes soon on the phone app. But you"re right, a few more tweaks is all! Yeah, I forget to come check them out a lot and the phone app doesn't help. I can barely add my meal before it stops on me.

Wow!! Great pics!!

I wish I took my measurements when I started January 1. Just scales. But as I gain muscle I know I can't check scales well. I like belt loop measurements. So to date... I have lost 11 pounds and a belt loop. ;-)

Is there a way to "subscribe" to message boards such as this? i would like to get updates and use my phone primarily but that app sucks.

I have none currently... But it would have to be "Must Love Dogs." Love that movie. Title is accurate too.

I am so guilty of this too. It's the justification and rationalization. Bleh. I am doing a "little" better with it but still have room for improvement. Soooo. Easy to give in. BLARGH!!! Curse you, delicious but bad-for-us foods!! :-D
