YOu are doing an amazing job! Keep it up! You are so beautiful to begin with - and rockin the cleavage! Bombshell in the making.. :wink:

I have found yet another inspirational person here on MFP! At my highest i was 240. I am just shy of being 5'8". My goal is 160. Sending you a friend request! You look wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are usually our worst critics. :wink:

JERK STORE! The line is JERK STORE!!!!! :laugh:

What about the FitBit? Any experiences out there? LOL - just saw that last post after i posted this one. thanks!

^ ^ Thank you for posting this. I put this same question out there yesterday to my friends. I was wondering if i should get a Fitbit or another type of HRM. SO many options out there!! Would love recommendations from people who have them. Thanks!

"Oh it's got cache, baby, it's got cache out the ying-yang!" "They're REAL, and they're SPECTACULAR!" I still watch that show on an almost daily basis. LOVE IT! :laugh:

WOW - you are smokin' hoT!!!!!!!! :smokin: Gorgeous. I cannot wait to show my before and after pics. My new hero! :love:

I like that!!!!! :smile:

If i cleaned my house everyday, i wouldn't count it. But, if you saw my house, you'd know that I do not clean nearly enough. :wink: If it's something you don't normally do and you feel it in your body, i say count it. It's movement and calorie burning!

I love seeing before and after pics. I cannot wait to post my own. Great JOB!!!

Mean/stupid people SUCK. And there are plenty of them out there. I hate that happened to you. I am certainly one of those people who feel like people are looking at me. Maybe i will get up the confidence to participate in a 5K soon!

Will it work if you had your child 6 years ago???? LOL! :laugh:

YOu are my new hero! You look amazing. :love: You started at over 400 lbs? And now you are like 1/2 of that. You are more of a woman now than you were back then. Congrats! :smile:

I love the laughing cow cheese. Ya'll are giving me some GREAT ideas!!!!!!! The mozarrella sun-dried tomato/basil flavor is really good. I found these great crackers at Costco that i spread it on. They are Crunchmaster Multi-grain Crackers with sesame, quioa, flax, amaranth & chia seeds. Very filling! (15 crackers = 130…

I am 5'8" and 220 (big build). I was thrilled when i bought a size 16 (regular) at Old Navy last week. Sizes have most definitely changed. I have some clothes from Express and The Limited that I bought 20 years ago in a size large and they were 'normal'. YOu go in there now and the size large could fit my 50 lb 6 year old…

We have just graduated to the 'cool' club!! I turned 40 in January. This year i decided it was time. NO more procrastinating. We are all facing the same struggles everyday. WE CAN DO IT!!!! I love MFP. I have found so many great supportive friends on here. Feel free to send me a friend request. :smile:

This is 'do-able'. Count me in. Name/ real name: TBSkipp / Traci Goal weight on March: 31st -- 215 3/01: 3/05: 3/12: 3/19: 3/26: 3/31: :wink:

DITTO to every other post! You look amazing. My hero! Can't wait to post my picture in a year. :smile:

I just hit 40 in January. It is so much harder to lose after 40. But i KNOW it can be done! We are older, wiser and more motivated. I have made a lot of friends here on MFP with the same goals/age. GREAT support to be found here. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want. :smile:

HI! I joined WW in early January and discovered MFP a few weeks later. I have to say I LOVE the support here on MFP. I've also found some great support on WW (online). They have me at 34 points. My start weight - i am going back to October 2011 (my highest) when i was 240. When i joined i was 231. I am now 220! I am also…

Like many of you, i am also on WW (online) and MFP. I use the mobile apps sooo much. My membership on WW lasts until like April 4. I may renew, not sure yet. I love the online support here on MFP! One difference that makes me like MFP better is that it tracks my calories, sugar/carb/sodium/fiber/protein intake. I…

Dina - i have found so much support and info on this site! I love it! Will send you a friend request. :smile:

I love finding similar folks on here as me. I was 240 at my highest last year, started on here at 231. I am 5'8" tall, just turned 40 last month. This is going to be my year to get trim and fit! I love this site. I have found so many supportive friends here on MFP. Feel free to send me a friend request. :)

Gabby, you are certainly not alone! Obviously! I have been as high as 240 and I am 5'8".

I totally agree! We can hide 5 lbs a lot easier than some little petite thing. :wink:

According to this site, I should be somewhere between 120 - 160 lbs. I am over 200 now so I am setting my goal for 160. When I get down to that, we'll see how I look. I think 120 is way too low for someone like me who is 5'8" with a big frame. But like we have all seen here, we are all so different. I want to look good,…

I just turned 40 and have a 6 yr old daughter in Kindergarten. I still want another child. Yep. I'm crazy. :noway: I think losing weight will probably help me in my quest. Plus i just want to be healthy and set a good example for my daughter. Feel free to send me a friend request. I see others here that are similar to me.…

Folks who were never 'blessed' with big breasts at a young age don't realize that you don't lose them when you lose weight. You can lose the fat around them, but the boobs are still there! I actually had a reduction in 2001. When i got home from the hospital, i was 15 lbs lighter!!! The surgery was SO worth it. I admire…
