I think you look FANTASTIC!! :flowerforyou: keep it up and remind yourself of all of the reasons you're doing this... I have to constantly remind myself that I'm worth it to live longer and be healthier and stronger...I started the beginning of this year, lost 32lbs in 4 months, was on a ROLL... then, my mom passed away...…

you look like a completely different person! awesome job!! congratulations!! keep it up!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

first off, congratulations, that is AH-MAZING!! for your own DAD not to recognize you!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: awesome oppossum job. :laugh: My motivation has been rocky. Right now, I'm motivated for Christmas. May not seem like a huge thing, but I want to be able to go to the family functions of…

some people may not realize that the committment itself is a HUGE victory! you commit, and you will see the results, guranteed! congratulations, that's wonderful to do 20 yoga classes!! I can barely tackle the Wii Fit yoga :ohwell: I think my next step is to go to a gym regularly :wink: Congratulations again, well done!…

woo hoo for smaller clothing!!! great job! :happy: :flowerforyou:

congratulations!!! try not to focus on the scale, it's not about that, it's about how you feel. :flowerforyou:

that is AWESOME!!! congrats to the both of you, keep it up!!

Congratulations!!! it's such an awesome feeling, isn't it?? :smile: and that is one adorable dress!! I actually got a dress for Christmas that was a summer dress, so I wasn't able to wear it then... I still haven't worn it, it's now too big! (yay) and I'll have to get it tailored for next year :wink:

Thanks guys! :) I just don't let her get to me anymore. She doesn't care about other people's feelings and she also doesn't listen to advice. I've been telling her about MFP since it was introduced to me. Her and I decided to officially try losing weight this year... When we're out, people comment to me, but not to her, so…

awesome job!!! keep it up!! I also started in January 2012... one step at a time!! :flowerforyou:

thank you everyone, I'll work on the toning ;)

The chicken soup for the soul book is called, "shaping the new you", just FYI :smile:

thanks for the tip on the book! I'm definitely going to have to look into that! reading is actually what made me get into FINALLY losing weight... as cheesy as this sounds, I read "Chicken Soup For the Soul" one of the weight loss editions... REALLY opened my eyes that losing weight didn't have to seem so colossal. :smile:…

GREAT JOB!! you really look FANTASTIC! :happy:

very pretty! :smile: ashypoo you seem almost shy/sly :smile:

growing up, we'd eat it with apple sauce. it was SO yummy as a breakfast, but nowadays, I prefer it for dessert :wink:

this sounds SO good! do you have calorie count on this? :happy:

we're wedding buddies! :happy: [/quote] ME TOO :) :D [/quote] Me three. :) lost about 25 pounds before I got engaged and now trying to fish my goal. Started at 176, now at 150 and hope to be around 140/135 as a final goal weight (regardless of wedding). [/quote] I'm a June Bride too for 2013! [/quote] June's a popular…

we're wedding buddies! :happy:

rock bottom, I thought, was my mom getting sick with Ovarian (and later re-diagnosed to Uterine) cancer.... I stopped drinking soda and thought the pounds would magically come off. By the end of last year, when I realized nothing was changing except I wasn't bloated, I decided to make a new years resolution to lose weight.…

congrats! that's definitely a nice feeling!!

I'm finding that as long as you find that horse to jump right back on, you're ok. Everyone slips, it happens, but just remind yourself before you eat something not good, "why am I eating this, am I actually hungry, or is this just comfort of some sort? Can I make this portion of this crap smaller?" I know what you mean…

I'm getting married June 2, 2013, so I'm hoping to be at least NEAR my goal by then... I'm not going to be upset if I'm not as I am taking this slow, one day at a time, but it'd be nice :) my main goal is to get my arms toned...I don't mind being slightly heavyset in the waist/butt/thighs, but my neck has already slimmed…

congratulations!!! that is wonderful and you're a great inspiration to keep on moving! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: bump :flowerforyou:

:smile: Thank you both! I think it's just like you have both said, so much going on right now... I really like the vision board idea! I'm also currently working 2 jobs/7days a week, so on top of everything else, I feel like I have no time to get things done, so it's creating extra stress...oy! LOL I don't know what it is,…

Thank you hhayes06, that's a good point! If I can get myself to do smaller goals, with one large one in sight (the wedding), that might help... it's re-training my brain to back away from the bad stuff that's hard! :wink:

ah, nevermind, I can't seem to post it :mad:

you honestly don't look at all like the same person! and I say that in the nicest of ways! you look absolutely AMAZING!!! congrats on the success!! :flowerforyou:

You look GREAT! Keep it up, I'm on almost the same weight and timeline! You're looking toned! :flowerforyou:
