your post made me smile. I am so happy for you. It's wonderful to achieve goals you set. Keep up the awesome work! You are an inspiration.

I'm right there with you! I joined in July of last year and lost almost 30 lbs! I gained 20 lbs back and am ready to start again. Just jump right back in. Remember what your goal is everyday. Every step you take is moving you toward your goal. Together, we'll get thin again!

If you see the line then you are pregnant. I wondered the same thing when I was pregnant. faint or bold, it's still there. Congratulations!!!

I would agree with just logging it anyway. You obviously ate more than your body wanted but there is no way of saying how many calories you actually took in. When I'm not sure how many calories I ate I will usually count high to ere on the side of caution.

Ok, I will ponder this new approach

What if you told all your friends to bring their other friends. Post an invite on your work email. Put up fliers. It sounds like with a love this much you could make this an awesome party.

Ugg! I hate you for being right. I lost half of the weight that I wanted to by diet alone and I know that in order to complete my goal I'm going to have to start exercising. The only thing is I hate it more than anything and come up with every excuse as to why I don't. How can I come up with a plan that I don't dread or…

I have not personally dealt with this issue myself but I do feel for you. I'm sure you understand that this is a psycological issue and that alot needs to be done to properly deal with it. I read an article about this. Did you know that purging doesn't actually make you erase what you ate. When you lose weight it's likely…

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! On everything! Surviving, keeping your mom, getting married and making the choice to come here. You sound like you have a stick-with-it attitude. Your going to do wonderfully. Welcome and good luck.

Omg you look awesome. I can only hope that I could look so great when I get down to that weight. I guess running played a part in your achievement. Yea.... and that's my down fall. Great Job! Keep up the good work and always remember how hard you worked to get here.

Welcome Michelle and Kathy! It's a great site and awesome that you have a girlfriend to keep you motivated. My BFF and I totally keep each other motivated as well as the other great people on this site. Lots of Luck and YOU CAN DO IT!

Wow you have had a struggle!!! We are in your corner and wish you the best of luck! Keep believing and don't give up, it will happen.

Sounds delish!

The Middle, Modern Family, and Cougar Town Oh and Desperate Housewives (new love for me)

Woo Hoo Indeed!!!! Rock on!

Welcome!!! This is a great site and I'm sure you can do this if you stick to it!:flowerforyou:

You can do!!! Don't give up

owww this is just wrong to think about. Like you, I am a peanut butter cup junky. I actually haven't really been down that isle of the stores yet. Look Away!!!

Welcome!!!! It sounds like you have a rough road ahead of you. I wish you much luck on your journey. This is a great site with lots of wonderful support and if you stick with it, I'm sure you will like it. Your boss sent it because she knows. Once you get into it, it really is kind of fun!

You are doing awesome! You will look fabulous for your wedding (read your profile). Just remember that the journey is not over once you walk down the isle. I looked smoking for my wedding but gained about 10 pounds on my honeymoon and kept going up from there. Just a little advice. BTW your son is sooo cute! Congrats

Instead of thinking about just the food, think about how fabulous you are going to look and feel once you have reached a goal! My first few days, I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking of how I would look skinny. Stick to it and think of some healthy lower calorie thing you will have to eat today.

Wow, you really do look great! I can't believe that that's the first compliment that you have recieved!! Keep up the awesome work!

I use the exercise bike. It's old as anything but it still works and I only do it for 30 min every other day. I read a book while I'm on it. Much like you I don't have much time so it allows me to feel like I'm having some leisure time to myself. It's not much but every little bit of extra activity helps.
