If you posted a link to a board I am now following it :) Thank you!

Great idea! Here is my usually good for you and yummy board: http://pinterest.com/slparsaca/mouth-watering-goodness/ Here is my fitness board: http://pinterest.com/slparsaca/get-moving-get-healthy/

I just wear regular sweats and a t-shirt. Works for me. :)

Mine is a picture of our 6 daughters...they are one of the reasons I decided to lose weight and get healthy.

First of all congrats on your incredible weight loss!!! You inspire me!!! I know that feeling when you just want to grab a bag of Doritos...but it's awesome that you didn't! When I'm stressed and want to eat sometimes a good workout will help, or I write a blog or journal, I talk about it with a friend, or in my Pollyanna…

You look amazing! All that hard work paid off. You inspire me!

I read this article and it made a lot of sense. Not having enough carbs may be the culprit. I just increased my protein last week per my trainer but have been restricting carbs like pasta, white rice, and bread. I am for certain a carb craver. I might have to rethink my diet

I've been wondering the same thing! I don't have a HRM right now and figured that the MFP cal for the Elliptical was high. I usually leave a couple hundred cals uneaten just in case.

^^^This is an awesome idea^^^ LOL

That I hate to have my picture taken and my husband was sticking the camera in my face.

^^THIS^^ is sage advise!! I know from experience that its extremely important to rest that knee until it's completely well. You won't regret it I promise.

Do you have Wii boxing? Do that for at least 30 minutes (or longer). You could even get the kids involved.

I weighed 110 pounds. That was over 25 years ago... today I weigh 258 pounds with the final goal weight of 125.

Grand Rapids!

I am in awe of your accomplishments! Sometimes I get discouraged thinking of the 140 pounds I need to loose...now seeing all that you have done I am without excuse. Thank you so much for sharing your story and wonderful pictures!

You look great! You're hard work has certainly paid off. You are an inspiration to me....can't wait when it's my turn to show before and after pics. :)

I've lost 20 pounds total and my clothes are getting pretty baggy. I am not going to buy a new wardrobe until I meet my goal. Until then I'll go to the thrift stores.

My mother in law disowned my husband when he married me lol I guess it really bothered her that I had boundaries and wouldn't let her control me. It makes me sad that he was put in the middle but it is what it is.

Haha...yeah, for those of you who do not know me I am NOT a morning person....sorry for any worry I may have caused :)

YES, The Omnivore's Dilemma! I got it! LOL

I know some documentaries are one sided, but for the most part I think there is some truth to the message they are trying to convey. I will be making different choices when it comes to food. Last year we started to buy more from our farmer's market and local farmers but mainly to support local businesses and to eat…

I know that feeling. Last fall I was in the grocery store and had to bend over to get something off a lower shelf. As I did this a few high school boys walked by and Moo'd. I was so embarrassed and angry. And yet, when I was at 110 pounds I would still get crude comments from stupid people so....like the others said stupid…

I'm in :)

Rokwell I will be praying

Yes! Prayer is important because God wants us to commune with Him! Anyone is welcome to add me.
