i will say this hopefully won't offend you but the before pic looks like you were a mother of 40 and your now pic looks like you are a kid of maybe 25-27 ! i hope that came out right! you look wonderful. how much weight did you lose before you started to run? i'm 230ish right now and i'm just starting to do walk/jog…

my interest is peaked. count me in, let me know the details and exactly how this works. thx

we actually go to a local butcher who makes extra lean pure beef ( nothing added) patties. they taste amazing and don't fall apart because they are so compacted. they cost about .85-.90 cents per patty and are extremely filling. MMMMmmmmm now i want to bbq one

Just remember you are only two weeks in. you will have ups and downs. go over your diary's to see if you need to cut back on things like sodium, sugars, carbs etc... up your workouts by a few minutes each workout and if you are going to continue weighing yourself daily make sure it is done at the same time preferably in…

great job, you look awesome

you look very handsome. great job!

i weigh myself numerous times during the day. the one i go by daily is the one first thing in the a.m. any other time is for curiousity sake. i know it fluctuates (sometimes greatly) throughout the day. it tells me if i am doing ok, or if i should keep an eye on my sodium and up my water intake. it sucks when it is up…

my size has fluctuated greatly up until recently i was a tight 40G !!! now i am a half decently loose 38G. i would like to get back down to even a 36 D or DD. but as soon as i lose all this weight i will try and get a lift. mine have always been heavy and NEVER perky. can't wait to be small enough and light enough that i…

great job. i myself have a long way to go but i will get there

the tilapia in my freezer will be coming out tomorrow

i do even though it sucks but i am on this site to help me be accountable for what i do and eat.

sounds great i will try this for sure

I have lost 26 lbs and barely into a lower size. And I mean barely, one pair fits, my other four or five don't. You didn't gain all your weight overnight you are not going to lose overnight. You are losing weight at a good rate now. You will have down times, I am in one now but I know that it will get better and my weight…

Amazing story. What do you think your brother would say if you asked him to get married again so you could stand for him like you wanted ! Determination, will power and MFP can take you beyond the farthest reaches !!

i don't necessarily do it with regular cardio machines but i do it with my bootcamp. where we do HIIT with cardio bursts, weights, body resistance exercises etc... I wouldn't feel as strong as I do if I just did regular workouts. They help me kick my own butt each time and I love it

think the phrase " to each his own" would suit. if you feel beautiful and your boyfriend sees you feel beautiful in it than you should. only important people's opinion should matter.

feel free to add me. and congratulations on that beautiful baby and WELCOME

I know it's hard. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone on here that hasn't had body image issues. I myself am slowly getting better. I see my shape changing, I can grab less flab (sorry for the bluntness) around my gut etc.. I still say sometimes that there is still flab here and there and many other negative…

I have been weaning out my friend list recently too, of people that don't either log in frequently (meaning 2-3 wks or don't give any support ) I log in every day and try to get to the majority of my friends if not all so feel free to add me. Good Luck in your journey. I myself have another 64lbs to lose.

My prayers go out to your father and your family and also the donor family who is grieving. May you all get through this with peace in your hearts.

i don't jog yet due to crappy knees but I feel the same when I do stutter runs at boot camp. All it does is make your a@% jiggle- nothing else!!! But \i figure the more it jiggles the more that will come off, plus noone HAS to look at it. If they don't like it they can turn away.

my daughter got me onto this- butter, garlic powder and brown sugar. doesn't sound like a good combo but the taste is addictive

congrats ! can't wait to see you post your next achievement. Plus as soon as hubby takes pic repost your achievement.

I was the exact same that I would never get over 200. Told my husband if I ever reach 200 kick me in the *kitten*. He didn't so I was nice enought to myself and got to 260 before I started to do something. Wonderful Job ! Congratulations.

you look amazing.

You're stealing the thoughts right out of my head. :laugh: I started on here in January and it is like a switch turned on in my head. I've tried numerous times before but this time is different- I know I CAN DO IT. And with everyone on here in the same boat as I am, we can support each other knowing that the others know…

What kind of oven is it? And if you don't mind me asking, how much? I'd like to cook more meat and fish especially if it cooks in a shorter time period.

I noticed the other day that the left side of my body has a smooth contour but my right still has an obvious bulge ! Realized through my physiotherapist (i'm seeing for knee issues, knee caps not in place, making very hard to exercise) that I am UNDER using muscles especially in the glutes and OVER using my quads and…

i did the same the other night my husband brought home wendy's for himself and the kids. i said no and made my own supper. it's a great feeling isn't it

yes you are being very irrational. you can't think like that about one indulgent day after losing all that weight and sticking to your diet for so long. you deserve some breathing room every once in awhile. i understand how you can think that you are still your big self, we all think like that at some point in our…
