Mean but I like it! :wink:

Thank you, everyone! I appreciate your kind words! :blushing:

Wow, I couldn't have expressed my feelings any better! Sincerely, I applaud your story and understand because it so closely mimics my own. Thank you very much for sharing!

Yep, me too! I think when a person says muscle weighs more than fat, it's implied that you're comparing like size to like size, not pound to pound.

That's a great idea! I will try to do something similar!

I wish you the best of success in your weight loss journey! I really need to lose 100 pounds but I have the ticker at 70 so that I can reevaluate when I get there. It's a bit scary when I hear that the easy part is losing the weight and the tough part is maintaining... *sigh* It's so tough for me to lose the weight…

Thank you for understanding me! I have had major issues this year (some good, some bad, some both). I was laid off January 3rd (4 days after I had surgery to remove my gallbladder). I was fortunate that I was able to dedicate myself to finding another position and wasn't unemployed for an extended amount of time. However,…

Thank you! Great words of wisdom and yes, it took years to add the weight! It's interesting that although I really 'want' the food I was eating before, I actually feel better now and it's only day 5. I am a little intimidated about going into the weekend because it's actually easier for me to control my meals when I work.…

That's a great idea! I do need to work on getting the scale moving, but I think I'll take your perspective and consider that if the scale doesn't move, what did I do right for the week! Thanks so much!

Wow, that's an awesome quote that I know I'll use again! Thanks for the words of wisdom and I appreciate the supportive nature!

Welcome to MFP!!! I am 36 y/o female, married with 3 children as well and live in OH. I'm 5'4" and 248 pounds and wile I don't have the perfect 'oh #$%^' moment to share, it's about improving my health, being able to keep up with the kids and husband. I am doing this for myself, but also for my family since, to your point,…

I'd love the motivation and support! :o)

LOL, love your sense of humor! I'm certainly not dainty and if you're looking for new friends, feel free to add me. I graduated high school in Texas (way back in another century - at least that's how it feels). Best wishes!

Congratulations!!!!

Great job! I can see a considerable difference so your hard work has paid off! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

No freakin' way!!! Congratulations!!! I was thinking about trying that program and I'm only slightly heavier than you, so it would be great to see results like yours!!! AWESOME JOB!

Yeah, I can definitely see your hard work! I 2nd the person who said they'd love to have either of those figures... LOL What did you do to get so toned?

Oh, oh, oh... I've got another one! ROFL... Why do I seem to have so many of these? :laugh: Hubby and I went to Cancun on vacation. We call these our 'sanity week's' where we ditch the kids. Anyway, I'd always dreamed of swimming with the dolphins. So, we paid the fee for me to do so, and it was supposed to include a…

Girl, I think you're stunning! I'd be blessed to look like you! :flowerforyou:
