I didn't read it, but I wish there was a "Like" button for this.

Well, i am not a success story yet, but my mother swears she is going to take scissors to all my clothing (baggy t-shirts, jammie pants and sweats) and make me buy stylish clothes! :D

Well i don't know what an NSV is, but I would take that as a compliment!

I don't necessarily have a cheat day either, but if I am going out with my best friend on a Saturday night, I will allow myself to cheat for one meal. I exercise usually 7 days a week, for over an hour a day, and so on the occasional Saturday if I go over my calorie goal by a little, I don't feel too bad. Plus, that helps…

HOLY COW. That is just OUTRAGEOUS. :( Thanks for sharing, I would have thought that would be a decent meal too.

I love to make an omlette with liquid eggs (no cholesterol), mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic salt, onion and spinach. Then right at the end I add a 1/4 of feta cheese. Its healthy and high in protein.

Hey CarolAnn - Read this, this answered the question perfectly! https://www.turbokick.com/wblog/?p=709 (and much to MY relief as well!)

OMG these are TOOOO funny. I always thought lingerie was pronounced linger-ee, until i told my mother I would meet her in the linger-ee dept one day and I think she peed her pants right there in JC Penney!

LOL I did not know they were not! LOL!!!

I wish I knew! I started ChaLean extreme yesterday and was up two pounds today too.

RIGHT ON lol - 'nuff said!

Ok, first you need to track your sodium and see if you are eating too much salt and UP your water intake. Then, take a look at what kind of exercise you are doing. Are you doing aerobics or strength training? If you are really working your muscles, you will gain a little weight as your muscles grow, but in turn, that will…

WAY TO GO! You must be SO proud of yourself. You look great, I can't wait to see the next set of 6 month pics!

I live in Ohio/USA, but global friends can be just as supportive! :)

WOW! You can REALLY tell a difference in your face, and you look SO much younger! Thank you for posting, all these success pics really help to keep me motivated. You are beautiful!

I was at a bar with my boyfriend, and we had a few drinks. There was a mechanical bull there and i got talked into riding this thing. Well, I had a LOT of trouble getting onto it, and they had to help me up. Someone said (where my boyfriend could hear) "It helps if you weigh less than the bull." Needless to say, I have…

That is GREAT! How proud of yourself you must feel! Thank you for sharing, its a great motivator for the rest of us!

Hang in there! Your fail is NOT epic. You gained a few pounds, and over the holidays to boot, many of us did. The SUCCESS part of this is that you are ready to grab this bull by the horns now and beat it into submission. :) Let's hear a WAR CRY!!!!

SAME HERE!!!! I have had them boxed up for about 7 years now (2 more kids!) and I want to wear my COOL clothes!

PLEASE don't get discouraged. I'm in the same boat you are - and I will typically lose a pant size every 15 pounds or so, and it DOES take people a while to notice. I think when we are bigger like this to begin with (and please, that is not a jab in ANY way, because I JUST hit 248) it just takes longer for people to SEE…

I work out at least 6 days a week, walking for about 75 min, with weights for at least 2 miles, 4.0 mph. I just ordered Chalean Extreme, so will be adding that, and on the days I am not doing that cardio, I will still do my 2 miles with weights. I feel guilty about taking a day off from exercise 9usually Sundays) - so what…

HAHAHAHA! That's right!

IMO - unless you are diabetic, you should probably worry more about tracking carbs and fat and protein. I am pre-diabetic, myself, but my doctor has told me that at this point, what will help me the most is to diet and exercise, and I do not track my blood sugar. And in my last A1C test, my level was LOWER than…

I don't know why people are mean and angry, maybe because we are hungry (THEN EAT!!) and frustrated with our weight. At the same time though, this site is designed for SUPPORT. If someone is negative on my friends list, then I will delete them. I hear enough negative self-talk in my own head without adding someone else's…

No kidding - NO. FREAKY. POOP. :D

That stinks - you really need support. One of the things i do is try to keep ready made healthy meals like weight watchers in the freezer, so if your family comes over with bad food, you can just put that in the microwave and eat it instead of cheating. Maybe they will begin to get the hint. You stick to it for YOU!! Of…

OMG - I was literally laughing out loud from reading these. I think I will pass on the Alli. I don't want to have explosive diarrhea all over the hood of my car. Thanks!

**HUGS**

Congratulations! What a fabulous success story!

Hahahaha! That's awesome! I have to badger myself to get out of bed, but it makes me feel great to get my first workout done before the kids get up so I try to just think of that.
