hahahhaha my pet peeve as well :P

Sorry, to clarify, it's a thread on this site under success stories. :)

check out the Official Insanity before and after thread. there's a lady that lost 9 pounds but crazy inches!!! she looks like she lost 60 pounds, her tummy is gone. anywho, it had a couple other small scale wins but HUGE visual losses.

what a great transformation! thanks for sharing! i think you also reminded me to not get fixated on the number. your 145 looks AMAZING!!! i have to remember that i'm lifting weights and so i need to look at my clothes and body not just the scale.

Thanks for sharing. I needed to see something like this, especially today. A true inspiration!!

Great story!!! I try to read a success story each day in the morning as I get ready to launch into the day. I find it inspirational and it keeps me motivated to eat well and log. Your story was so motivating, I've scheduled a lunch walk with a co worker today. Great job and keep going!!!

OMG! just when i needed a non scale motivation!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! It's all those inches!! I would've easily thought you lost like 20 pounds!!! and shut. up. you have a gorgeous hour glass body. I gain all my weight in the middle. *sigh* to be a lady one day... hehehhe GREAT JOB!!

never had weight issues growing up. when i was 25 got into a blah relationship, friendly companion but no love. got an office job, had always been in active jobs previously so moving around all the time. depression, lack of activity, and eating like my bf made me balloon. i was so depressed i didn't notice my weight gain,…

that does look great! i know it would be too personal of a pic but i'm always looking at the scar afterwards that's lower than your waist seam. that's the scar that keeps me scared to do it! hahah

oh lord, the seedy side of MFP... i LOVE it! :blushing:

darn, sorry, this was supposed to be a reply to lady who asked about the calorie content compared to her instant 110 cal oatmeal. still learning the tools. let's see where this post ends up :P

my goal is a breakfast that's about 300 calories. so i get about 130 cals in my oatmeal, 100 in my raw almonds, 50/50 in my raisins and soymilk splash. i like to add the almonds to the oatmeal during the last bit of cooking so it kind of softens the almond. i dunno, i love cooked nuts for some reason, it seems almost…

raisins and almonds, a splash of cool soymilk over the top. always and forever. i love you, oatmeal breakfast.

i never have had that feeling. but, geez, i'd be nervous too. let us know what the doc says. take care!

i have a desk job too. drink green tea, like green tea with mint in it. for some reason, i almost forget to eat lunch or my timed snack when i'm sipping on it all day. i think it's the minty flavor and the calming aroma. i have pcos so giving into my sweet cravings or junk foods actually makes me feel 10x worse the next…

i HATE tea but i LOVE Tazo Zen Green tea. It has mint in it...mmmm i'm going to make some now. :)

I just got turned on to green tea. i never liked it either until i started drinking mint green tea. Tazo has a tea called Zen. I liked it so much and the scent was very soothing. anywho, i noticed i wasn't snacking as much. might be from all the water, might be from the minty taste in my mouth that i don't want to eat on…
