Exactly! You've clearly done a fantastic job so far, and continue to do so - I mean, even within the short space of this thread you've lost more weight!!! Congratulations to you (and your supportive immediate family!) and keep up the healthy lifestyle. :)

Fantastic job! :D

You. Look. INCREDIBLE. Congrats and thanks for posting - so inspirational - we really can do it!

That is sooooooooooooo fantastic! Congrats and keep up the great work. Remember there are HEAPS of us here rooting for you and here to help if you need! :D

Thanks for all the posts everyone - I love getting book tips. I am reading Jane Eyre on the recommendation of a friend - it's quite long but so far so good. Before that I read The Girls from Ames - A Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship, by Jeffrey Zaslow. I thought it was really good, and an easy read. I'm looking…

If I don't like it but it's not totally disgusting I might use it for cooking (barbeque/beer can chicken/casserole). Or save it up and take it to a party - there's always someone there who either likes it and/or doesn't care what they're drinking!

Based on what you described, you should definitely move it up a level. All the best!

Legend. :)

What everyone else said, especially wxkris and dianaskin! It's as hard a workout as you make it, and trust me anyone who's actually working hard couldn't give a rat's are about what anyone else was doing, and even if they did they'd be too tired to find out. :) Go for it!

That's totally awesome and so exciting - congrats! :D

Yep I reckon he's just saying anything to tempt you over. I can understand your annoyance tho... I feel hellishly cranky when I want "unapproved" foods but know that this is a time I really ought to be restrained, lol. ;p

I agree with everyone here too - don't worry about it - as another MFP member wrote in another post I read once: struggling doesn't mean you're failing - it mean's you're still trying! We all have ups and downs here (and in just about every other aspect of life! :p ) you're doing great and will continue to do so, I just…

More exercise = I get to eat more food! Woohoo! :D But yeah - if you're going for weight loss, pay attention to your net calories. And fuel your body, don't starve yourself: starvation mode = fat storage (our bodies are awesome like that!)

That's awesome! You've given me inspiration to "get back on track" if you'll pardon the pun. ;) NSV = Non-Scale Victory, i.e. one which doesn't have anything to do with the bathroom scales. Often the best kind, in my book! (Get ready jeans... here I come)

Fantastic work! I feel the same!

You are ROCKIN that costume BIG TIME!!! Congrats! Thanks for being a constant INSPIRATION!

Can't wait to try it... that looks DELICIOUS!!!!! Thanks for posting!

YUM!!!

Thanks everyone for the great laughs!!! Two snakes are sitting in a tree. One says to the other, "Are we poisonous?" The second snake says "Yeah, of course we are!" The first one looks horrified, gasps, and squeaks "OH NO! I just bit my tongue!!!!"

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience, and that your doctor only saw the negatives - e.g. he didn't look into the waiting room and think/say "Great to see three healthy kids with caring parents who support each other and their children." And you can't argue with idiots - they're just never going to get it! If you really…

That is FREAKIN' AWESOME. CONGRATS!!! You're a LEGEND!!!

BAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this thread is awesome.

I also think more calories are in order (I'm envious tho, hee hee!). If you're not feeling that hungry, a healthy smoothie made with e.g. milk + strawberries or a banana could be a good options. I sometimes also add a bit of muesli or other healthy cereal and/or a spoonful of peanut butter to the blender... it's pretty…

Congrats! That's super exciting!!! LOVE NSVs. I couldn't see your pic but judging by all the other comments, your're lookin FAB! :D

TOTALLY AWESOME! You're an inspiration! Thanks for posting. xo

ROCK. ON. You are a total legend.... you can do it! We're here to support you so reach out if you need encouragement to stay on track. XO

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOME!!!!!!! Congrats and keep up the fantastic work! :D

I know the feeling... I'm recently back too and loving it! WELCOME!!! :D

WELCOME! You've come to a great place! At first I felt the same as you about my BAD SNACK HABITS :p, but have found that logging really helps! Of course it's important to be honest about what's going in your cakehole, but also it's been a real eye opener to find out which foods are better than others. Logging ALL your food…

Congrats on the amazing effort and lifestyle changes you have already made! You've obviously got yourself into a great routine and you know you can do it... because you already have!!! What everyone else said, plus maybe try signing up with some daily deal sites like Groupon, Living Social etc. - they sometimes have deals…
