Oh my gosh, amazing! I have to say you are definitely one of the ladies who can carry weight very, very well-even at your biggest you were still very beautiful! However, your wedding photos took my breath away. What an amazing job! Thanks so much for sharing your story and pics!

Great post, thank you so much for sharing! You have really done an outstanding job and you look fantastic! I really liked what you said about pizza. I can totally relate. I love pizza so much. I could literally eat it every day. I am always trying new ways of getting my "pizza fix" in a healthy way. Mostly though I just…

That is so inspiring to me! I can't believe what is possible in just half a year. You have done an amazing job, thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness you really look younger! Fantastic! It always inspires me to think about where I will be in my one year anniversary :)

I LOVE perfume! How do I ever narrow down some choices..um...well, I dislike floral and musk as well...My all time favorite is Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf. All versions of it. The one called Flowerbomb Le Vie en Rose has a lemony crisp note that is wonderful! It is hard to explain, fruity, effervescent... Also check out…

Listen to your body. If it is really bad tomorrow you may consider seeing a doctor. The most common advice for sprains and strains is "PRICE" which stands for: -Protection -Rest -Ice -Compression -Elevation Check out the Mayo Clinic's web page for more:…

I was curious, so I put the recipe into the food database as 1 serving instead of 17 or whatever it was in the OP...That is, I entered in all the ingredients and put serving size at 1. Totals: 394 calories, 63 carbs, 0 fat, 0 sugar, 13 grams of protein Not too bad at all if you wanted to splurge a little at breakfast. I…

Beautiful woman with a beautiful positive attitude! Love it! You are amazing!

Have to agree, your calories seem quite high to achieve weight loss considering your level of activity. Try between 1300-1500. Like you I cannot work out (I can walk) so I find that people like us need to be extra careful with our calories when we can't go and burn a couple thousand calories a week through hard exercise.…

Amazing. I can't believe there was an article written about this. I thought I was the only one. This is absolutely exactly my past history of eating. It explains A LOT....why I struggled (and still struggle) with eating enough calories every day. I never really understood how I could continually see my weight go up even…

Thank you so much for your post! I am in a similar situation and cannot do high impact exercise either. I haven't lost anything for about two weeks so reading this was just the motivator I needed to get me believing in myself again. People do not realize how hard it is when you cannot train hard and do not have that to…

First of all, stop thinking about yourself as a horrible person. You haven't done anything wrong. The thing is, everyone wants to lose weight. Everyone. Even people who claim that they are happy being overweight. The reality of trying to lose weight, for all its "simplicity" is actually a neverending exercise in patience,…

You must be thrilled. I would love to have a tummy tuck if the day comes I needed one but I have always been afraid of getting surgery. So glad it worked out for you and you are pleased with the result!

23 lbs...WOW. I am amazed, as I have lost about half of that, so your pics have motivated me BIG time!!! I can't believe the difference. You should be so proud of yourself!! Don't give up-if you fail, just get back on! No matter how many times you fail you can always start again, anytime, any day! Best of luck!

I talked to my friends about it, and I cracked up on the inside when one told me, "Calorie counting just does not work for me." Hehe :laugh:

I will say I log everything, even when I have treat meals. It's hard and even when I feel no guilt it still sucks seeing the red numbers, but I really believe in the logging system no matter what. That said, yes, I am having a treat tomorrow...Cherry Chip cake with cherry buttercream frosting for dessert after dinner...I…

I never go to bed with a full stomach but I eat whenever, I know it's irrelevant. That said, I usually don't eat after 9 p.m.

Due to health reasons I cannot do high impact exercise. I can walk, swim, and do yoga and I know that just these alone are helping strengthen my muscles and tone my body. However, I have lost weight before without exercise. It is not impossible, but you really would not want to do it if you are able bodied and can…

Astonishing! You are a total inspiration!

In the end you know you best. If you are asking opinions-completely objectively from my point of view, I can't imagine trying to lose weight while eating candy every day, even if it was measured amounts. If you have found a way of losing weight that will work for you long term, then do it. If you are solely weight…

It's water weight, no worries, I am sure you are doing fine!

I'm 5'9"...145 on me is a size 8. Pretty small, for sure. My first goal is 175 which is a size 12. I will definitely re-evaluate when I get there though. I have an hourglass shape which I would like to preserve, I like my curves and I'm not trying to get rid of them by any means. I also hope that I am able to strengthen…

Interesting! I do like it, except on treat meal days, then I'm NOT liking it as much :grumble:

Every day I work on loving my body and respecting my body, even though it has not looked the way I might choose. I don't personally have any need to share bikini pics but I have no problem with people who do. If it makes them feel good or strong or accomplished I am all for it. If you don't like it, no need to click on it…

Oh, great, I love book tips. I started my weight loss journey after reading Geneen Roth's "Women, Food and God", so I know how incredibly meaningful a book can be, as well as an incredible tool for working through underlying issues.

Hello, thank you for your kind reply. I was previously very ill and bedridden with fatigue and pain, improved and then had another relapse last year. I started improving in December, and about mid January reached a point where I could start attending a weekly water aerobics class. We spend about 40 minutes in the water. I…

Sorry, I didn't really translate it well. The group I attend now is called "Calm Yoga" which is basically moves all performed while laying down or sitting. We end every class with a deep relaxation exercise. However, it is physical and I am definitely a bit sore the day after. So, I think that would qualify as a…

Wow, really, you didn't like the Enell? Are you sure you had the right size on? Then again everyone is different so I can understand that some people are built one way and a certain bra may be perfect and another person might find it super uncomfortable.... Good luck :)

LOL! I love it.

I'm very large on top (would rather not give the exact numbers, but it is bigger than DDD). I have never found a better bra than the Enell bra. It is amazing.
