Thanks! The colors on the one I want to cover are similar to this, so it should be a good cover up. If my side looked like this girl's I would put it there instead. Lol! :wink:

I second this! I just discovered this website last week and I am already in love. I made the crockpot chicken cacciatore last week and it was so yummy over some whole wheat spaghetti. There are soooo many recipes on there and I want to try them all. http://www.skinnytaste.com/

AMAZING!!!!! Kudos to you! Onederland is not too far away. :)

I have my daughter's initials on the inside of my left wrist. I plan on getting a similar flower to the one here in the pic on the back of my right calf to cover a tattoo that I do not love. That is my goal when I am under 200 lbs. I have not been there for over 10 years. Right now, I am about 15 lbs away. Tattoos are…

Beautiful!

Sounds awesome... I would love to see that. Can you post a pic?

:happy: You look amazing! Congrats to you! I also cannot believe how much younger you look now. Great job!

Bell peppers are the BEST just sliced and eaten raw with no dips. YUM!!!

I agree 100%! Whenever I am home, I use my food scale religiously. I love when the nutrition labels give both measurements (i.e. 2 tbsp or 32g = 190 calories on my almond butter label) and when it does, i will always use the weight measurement. People can "pack" a lot more food into a measuring cup and still say they ate…

You are an inspiration! You are the poster child for all of the excuses that someone could possibly have, but yet, you still did it. Congrats to you! I am so glad you are seeing for yourself what an amazing accomplishment you have made!

:happy: Congrats and thank you for sharing! I loved the blog and all 10 tips.

Congrats to you! You look absolutely amazing! I want your shoulders, arms, and abs for my own. Totally awesome!

It does not go in my mouth unless I log it 1st... Good, bad, or ugly. Lying to MFP friends and to "real life" friends is bad enough, but it's worse to lie to yourself. It's all about honesty and accountability.

That is so awesome for you! I feel exactly the same way. I hated pics in general, but group shots were even worse because there was someone there to compare myself to. That is a great picture too... It's amazing how everyone looks great when they are wearing the glow of physical activity. :happy:

Incredible! And what a great way to show the progress as it happened. Congrats to you!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed hearing your story today and you are so incredibly motivating and real. Keep up the amazing work and keep sharing!

Hi Tony! Thank you so much for your time and expertise. I have been on MFP for almost 16 weeks and have lost 33 lbs so far. I am a 36 year old female, 5'6", and my starting weight was 253, current weight 220. I am not a breakfast eater, never have been, and do not really like most breakfast foods. I am taking Bee Pollen…

You have an amazing success story! Congratulations to you on the reaping the benefits of all of your hard work. And double congratulations to baby #4! Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Congratulations to you! You look incredible! I am so sorry for the loss of your sister and admire your strength and perserverence to keep going in the wake of her passing. You are STRONG! I am 5'6" also, but started about 50 lbs heavier than you. When I look at your pics, everything looks so tight and toned. Do you have…

Any other experience out there would be greatly apprecited. :)

Thanks! I will keep you posted. :happy:

Like you, I also grew up swimming and know how to swim well, but had never done it for exercise. I started taking water aerobics in the evenings over the summer at the local aquatic center. I LOVED it and still do it 1-2 times per week, but the fall session started and the evening classes went away. I had to find something…

I have the same problem and I have a pair of compression shorts by Under Armour that work great! They come in 3 inseam lengths, so they fit most bodies. I am currently wearing an XL and they fit comfortably when I was almost 260 lbs and still do the job after losing 33 lbs. I got mine at Sport Chalet. Good luck!

You are an incredible inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing! You are going to be very successful as you continue on your journey. The pictures of your daughter made me teary eyed. My hubby and I have an amazing 6 year old little girl as well. :happy:

:happy: Bump

:tongue: Bump

I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every morning. I use 2 slices of Roman Meal whole wheat bread (120 cals), 1 tbsp of natural creamy peanut butter from Trader Joe's (95 cals) and 1 tbsp of blackberry preserves from Trader Joe's (50 cals) for a total of 265 cals. It keeps me satisfied until lunch. If I need a little…

That is so awesome! Congrats to you! Thanks for posting the pics. I need to do that, but need to convince myself that I will appreciate the before pics once I get down even farther. I wish I had your issue with the bra size... Lol! My bras are EMPTY! I could fit both boobs in 1 cup I think. :laugh:

This is great! I am trying to do the same. I am about 1/2 way there! :laugh:
