May I ask how old you are? You look quite young from your profile photo. Unless you're well off or currently working a stable job in an industry where they don't care about tattoos, you should think really heavily before getting anything below the wrists. I wanted a tattoo in the exact same position when I was around 19,…

I use Dance Central 2 on a regular basis. I can burn 500+ calories in an hour (HRM verified) and I have a ton of fun doing it.

I'm 5'7", 230lbs, large in t-shirts, and wear a size 16 - 18 depending on the brand of jeans. When I started @ 280 pounds I wore a tight size 24 jeans and XL t-shirts.

I'm in! Sending you a friend request right now.

There is a wealth of information in this topic: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/23912-links-in-mfp-you-want-to-read-again-and-again It explains everything much better than I could ever dream of doing.

1. Full Thanksgiving meal including the apple pie w/ vanilla ice cream. - 3,482 2. Chicken and broccoli alfredo angel hair pasta with Texas toast garlic bread, tiramisu for dessert. - 2,708 3. Double cheese and pepperoni pizza with wings and pepperoni rolls. - 2,794 calories Calories are estimated from the database, but…

Exactly! One of the biggest points that stands out in my mind is when my fiance's half-sister gave me a shirt. My fiance later said to me, "Not being mean...but does she seriously think that's going to fit you?" I got really offended because I thought she was smaller than me and he was implying it would be too small. He…

This is exactly what happens with me. I'm still steadily losing and usually end up losing more the week after I have my splurge.

3rd'ing this one. It's no fancy extra stuff and just tracks your HR and calories burned along with time spent working out. I love it!

Feeling myself get smaller and healthier, having more stamina, and when my fiance wraps his arms around me then comments on how much smaller I am.

I woke up a couple months ago and was freaking out because there was this weird pointy bit on my hand. I was scared I broke something until I pointed it out to my fiance and he said, "....yea, that's called a bone." Turns out my chub was covering it the whole time and I have an identical "weird pointy bit" on my other…

Actually, due to weighing more your body requires more calories to fuel itself. You should set up your profile and it will tell you your ideal range for your goals. I started at 280 and I believe the site gave me around 1,500 - 1,700 calories, somewhere in there. It will vary depending on your selections. Right now, I…

I can't wait for that day and I'm dreading it at the same time, this is my favorite belt! ;) Of course, I've got my eye on one of my fiances and I'll dance a jig the day I fit in it, I've never fit into anything of his.

Everyone looks amazing, subscribing to the thread!

My thoughts exactly!

I eat back my exercise calories and I'm consistently losing weight. Your body needs fuel to run and if you keep denying it that fuel over a long period of time, it's going to change how it works. I lost 80 pounds in the past by following a calorie restricted diet with exercise and I hit a major wall. My body would not move…

My profile image shows an older picture of my sleeve. All of the single pieces have been colored in, I just need to get the background and one small part done but lacking the funds at the moment. Along with that, I've got a piece on my left inner forearm of two pink checkered flags that says Lucky 17, nautical star behind…

Most painful so far has been the ditch of my right arm and right above it. My elbow is fully covered and that was a cakewalk compared to the ditch. I have some friends tell me, "The ditch is a *****." and I couldn't agree with them more.

Weighing in at 242.2 ;)

Great job everyone! My goal for this week is to start eating properly, not just aiming to be under my calorie goals!

I can't believe I forgot to weigh in these past few times!! I don't know if it'll be any good but my current weigh-in is 242.6.

Weighing in early! 247.8

Great job Airbear!!

250 exactly this week. :D

Mmm sounds great!

Taco Bell was a regular offender for me. It's been so long since I've had it, it took me awhile to remember what my typical meal was. 2x Beefy 5 layer burrito 1x Potato soft taco 1x Cheesy fiesta potato bowl Total calories: 1630 Total fat: 72g Total carbs: 196 Total sodium: 3,920 This isn't including the days where I would…

This is a fantastic attitude to have in regards to weight loss, it's pretty much how I approach it. I'm not going to avoid foods I love for the rest of my life. It's unrealistic to think I won't have cake/candy/fatty foods because I enjoy those things. Now, I eat them in moderation rather than huge portions of them every…

Eating lunch now, sliced spicy chicken from dinner last night with a slice of muenster cheese on sugar free bread and a side of pretzel crisps! Mmmm!

Woops, late! 251.2, small loss but I'm happy with it!
