It's helped me as well. not only do i not want to let myself down but i feel like i can't let my readers down now. www.themiddlex.blogspot.com :)

suchhh an awesome feeling! congratulations, thats awesome. :)

Sometimes I weigh myself twice a day, sometimes every other day. I like to keep myself in check.. if I eat bad, I notice it on the scale, if I do well, the number motivates me to keep going. Some people look down on it and thats fine, I think what works best for you is always what you should do. :)

Try Torrid.com It's a plus size website and they have a lot of footwear. They make a lot of their shoes in wide sizes. maybe if you look through their boots you mind find some that work for you. check it out. :)

I obviously watch my calories but I do watch my carbs. I don't eat bread, pasta, potatos, chips, etc. If I do its rare and in small portions...and I never eat anything white, always whole wheat/grain if Im going to do that sort of thing. I eat carbs, obviously, but more through fruits and that sort of thing :)

Why dont you just ask friends who are whatever size you are at if they have any old jeans just as transition jeans until you get to where you want to be. It's a cheaper option I guess.

Seriously! I've had a good poo take my weight down 2lbs. Wild and a little disgusting but its motivational aha.

Sometimes I want to quit. I want to give up. I want to eat whatever I want. I want to forget the gym even exists. I want to buy a segway. But out of all those things, there isn't one of those things I want more than to be healthy, fit and sexy. So I'm not going to give up.

I think it's a total preference thing, either that or a desperation to try anything that will help you lose weight. I do think that if you are eating lots of dairy you should be careful and chose the healthy dairy choices but its whatever works best for you and your body. Milk makes me feel a little queasy so I don't drink…

Besides my health, most if not ALL of my reasons are shallow! I want to look sexy, wear nice clothes, look good, attract guys, be in shape, have a nice body etc etc etc. I don't ever consider it a bad thing. It's totally normal. Most people who say they are only losing weight for health reasons are what I like to call…

Same exact thing has been happening to me and i got the same answers. I thought, how could I possibly be gaining THAT much muscle, I can barely use the 8lb weights. But now a few of the pounds have dropped and before they did I had lost inches as well so for the most part all of these answers are true. Just keeping doing…

I'm always thinking that. Usually I'm playing " ****, i wish i was teh same size as her" though lol

Sooo awesome! Especially the BMI thing - being healthy is so important. A lot of my goals have to do with my BMI as it is a huge concern for me so I think that's such a spectacular victory. :) congrats on everything and keep on keepin on!. x

under armour outlet?! sounds amazing.

you're just big boned. no. im fat. and when im skinny, and i don't look like a monster, you can stop feeding me that bull****.

congratulations!! clothing victories can feel so much better than scale victories because its this solid proof that your body has actually become smaller... feels so awesome! :)

i think this is an awesome idea :) a good reward after you've worked so hard for your body. i feel the same about getting different skin removal procedures done on your body after weight loss.. you deserve it.

That would be ideal for me too. I'm trying for 20 more but I would be REALLY pleased with 30 more by new year. If I don't reach 20 I will be disappointed, I won't lie. If I get to 30.. well.. boys at nye festivities watch out cause i'll be feelin good. good luck :)

Don't sell yourself short, it takes hard work and lots of effort to lose 1 lb and even more to lose 10. congrats!!

If you love it, and you can control yourself and eat just one I think you should. You have the calories and I'm a firm believer in not depriving yourself of the things you love ALL the time, once every few months won't kill you. Unless you think you will sabotage and have a bunch, I would eat it. If it makes you guilty,…

amazing!! good luck with the rest of your journey , kick some *kitten*.

My best friend is a zumba instructor and I think she said something about.. running shoes are made to go forward (makes sense) which makes them no good for zumba! i'm not sure exactly what sort of shoes WOULD be correct but maybe shoes made for a sport where this is more side to side action like tennis or badminton, or…

You should see a nutritionist or a dietitian. Find out what works for you - something combining what you need to lose weight and what you can eat without wanting to binge or cheat after a week. I think it would be super beneficial.

some may find this a bit crude but.. its funny, period. what did one tampon say to the other? nothing. they're both stuck up c*****.

I'm not a fitness guru but i AM a night hawk so Im going to answer this aha. Today I had no work so I slept in then walked 10k and it was such an awesome walk. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Tonight Im working on some apples dipped in peanut butter..and its awesome aha. For fun I walked over and visited my aunt and…

I find a womans intuition can be pretty strong sometimes. I also know we can get a little crazy by times as well. At the end of the day you need to go with your gut.

This happens all the time, just bad timing with water retension, maybe too much sodium or your body worrying when you didnt eat enough calories. No worries, just drink lots of water and IM sure you'll be back down 3 and more very soon!.

I super admire that even though your weightloss is going a little slower at this point then most people would be able to deal with, you just keep trucking. It says so much about your character and your desire to get fit and healthy! Keep on, keepin on:)

I won't be with my family for thanksgiving so I will probably just ignore the holiday. If i do end up somewhere to celebrate, I wont treat it as a cheat day just not eat so much earlier and control my portions - no dessert and we're all good. It's not like thanksgiving dinner is a pizza party or something, it can be…

I was a vegetarian for 3 years and at first I lost a few lbs but unless you are eating well along with being a vegetarian it wont do a whole lot for you. I have almost completely cut out red meat though from my current diet and I think it's really getting me somewhere. I eat lots of fish, chicken and when I want a burger I…
