You look great!

The ones who were trying really hard to not label themselves into a group and then ended up in that group. ;)

I was 13. In middle school taking ISTEP (standardized statewide testing), school went on lockdown and the teacher presiding over the test FREAKED OUT but was mum. Didn't know what was happening until the test was over in history class around 12:30 when he didn't say anything and simply turned on the TV and said, "This is…

Me me me! :)

SALADS. Mostly eating out. I'd be like 'oh, well clearly this is an ok choice'. NOPE. Ugh. A lot of times you'd get less calories with a burger and fries than a salad! Something is wrong with that.

Hummus, artichokes, quinoa (quinoa burgers...YUM), greens other than iceburg and romaine, tea!

That losing weight is not going to magically fix my self image/self confidence issues overnight.

I'm 5'9 and a half. I've got ways to go (still in the 200s) but have tentatively set my GW for 160. I will reassess once I get closer and get a better idea of how that much weight looks on my frame and how I feel.

15-20 for me as well. Its harder for people who see you everyday to notice because they are small subtle changes...people who don't see you that often however (for me anyway) tended to notice right away. "Oh you've lost weight since I saw you last."

I feel like maybe you are reading a bit too much into it...? Stopping eating a food because its bad for you (you can't control how much you eat and you binge, its a trigger, etc etc) is not the same as deciding a person is bad for you. A lot of people, myself included, dive into a new lifestyle change of eating healthy…

He said his marrying you is conditional on your weight. Not ok. I think its time to move on and from your tone in your OP, I think you do too.

I'm DYING. lol.

I can't speak for support for triple D's, as I'm a modest B but this is the sports bra I have; http://www.justmysize.com/plus-size/workout/sports-bras/-ch6632--1 and I love it.

I have the same problem as others have mentioned... I didn't know any of the moves going into it when I bought it on Kinect and the "training" is super short and most moves are only shown twice and very fast. I can't keep up with it and end up flailing and not doing moves that are supposed to burn calories.

My great aunt is the queen of backhanded compliments... my favorite being: "Wow, your a** looks less fat!" after smacking me on the butt hard. Didn't bother me too much as she says things like that to everyone and as I've gotten older, things like that roll off my back. Recently, "Oh Hannah's roller derby friend lost 75…

Your EX-husband, right? My goodness.

Why wait? I started over again today.

My neighbors put ketchup on their COTTAGE CHEESE. So sick.

Lots of driving back and forth! I'm a newly wed and we're still trying to work out how to do both family's traditions while starting some of our own....Christmas will be; my parents, his parents, my aunts, his uncles. Whew!

You will have days like this. This is not the first, this will not be the last. Acknowlegde it and then move on. I was very sick all summer and most of fall and, even though I'm better, I've been using that as an excuse to not get out and exercise or count my calories. I'm sick again but I WILL be starting back on…

I am a boredom eater! Ugh, I can snack mindlessly and not realize the damage until a few minutes later.... I've gotten to the point where I'm halfway to the pantry/have my hand on a box and my brain kinda goes - 'wait, are you hungry right now? why are you getting that?' Lots of healthly eating has just conditioned me to…

Starting JK Rowling's "The Casual Vacancy", also have "Deception Point" by Dan Brown to start....

Let me put it this way; it started as Twilight fanfiction. Still not enough reason? The male lead is awful and just as controlling and stalkerish as Edward Cullen. The female lead is just as boring and nondescript as Bella Swan.

I dropped sizes in shirts quicker than pants. Went from a 3x to a 2x pretty quick, down to just an xL now (usually, varies by store).

Hi again. :) My name is Kelli. I'm nearly 24, a semi-newlywed, and a photographer. My starting weight was 367 and I'm currently hovering around 301/299. I've had a hell of summer with a ton of sickness and I'm looking forward to refocusing.

"Its ok to not be into what everyone else is. Don't pretend to like something just to fit in. Fitting in is overrated.", "Take a year off before college." annnnnnnd, "Find Eric faster." He became my husband. :)

Not sue yet....but once I get to a lower weight I will be adding strength training to my cardio to combat the loose skin! Also, I've heard this is more of a problem if you lose the weight very quickly.

I didn't go down a size until I lost about 50.... it seems the larger size you wear the more of a difference between the sizes. I started at a 28 (pants) lost 50lbs and got 26s, and 24s after losing about 25lbs more.

Several crushes, but not love until I was 16 and met my husband, who was 18 at the time. Married 7 years later. :)
