Congrats to you! You look "onederful"! And I have to say, you are a very pretty girl!!

You look sensational!!! I never get bored of before and afters, lol. I spend most of my time on here looking at them.

Congrats!! You look amazing!!!

SW: 186.4 (at start of challenge 6/24/12) CW: 182.4 7/8/12 GW: 166.4 (for challenge) Week 1 loss: 3.6 lbs Week 2 loss: 0.4 oz Weight left to go for challenge: 16 lbs Hmmm, need to average 2 lbs a week. Being as I usually lose a few one week and then not much if anything for the following week, I might be able to do this,…

^This!! LOL. I still eat slightly unhealthy once a week. Not crazy bad, but yeah, I don't make 100 percent healthy choices all week. I do though the majority of the time. I eat a big salad every day, lots of veggies and fruits. But I also eat greek fries once in a great while, or a bowl of ice cream occasionally, or a…

A slight mix of both. Although, the more nerd, the better lover I have found.

You are doing great! You have a beautiful smile too!!

I eat 1200 to 2000 depending on the workout day. I try to net 1200 no matter what.

Eggs, Chicken and spinach salad, and red onion.

Yes, I do. But in moderation and only on occasion. Would I lose more weight faster if I didn't? Maybe. Is it worth losing my mind? Definately not!!

I feel your frustration. In the past I have had a ton of problems getting rid of my belly. It has always been where I carry all of my weight. I stopped eating bread except once in a very great while. I started trying to lose weight in May. I didn't get very far over the course of a few weeks. I met with a trainer in June.…

Awesome job!. Your guns are smokin'!!

Thanks girls! I love the success thread and can easily lose track of time reading all the great success stories. There are so many inspiring people on here. It gave me the idea to start keeping photos of myself. It is so motivational and the support on here is always outstanding.

I count them!! I gave up regular chips, but I eat special k cracker chips. 27 chips, 110 calories. And I don't take the broken ones, so they are all the same size within a millimeter or so.

I like my eyes and sparkling personality. I am starting to like my legs.

I usually eat most of my calories between 5 and 10 at night. I don't do any heavy carbs though at night. I have been doing fine.

Ophthalmic Technician. I poke people in the eyes, ask them if it hurt, and then send them out the door extremely sensitive to light.

Thats awesome progress!!! You look great!!

You look super fit and fantastic! You have a slammin hard body now! I used to believe I had to eat 1200 calories and then work out 4 to 5 times a week. I was about 500 to 700 NET calories. I did it for 3 weeks and lost nothing, although I was toning, just not losing. Then I increased my calories to 1590 a day, and I work…

I just smile and say thanks, but Im good, I work hard to look good. My husband is a bar manager at an italian restaurant/bar. I LOVE italian food. He brings home pizza and calzones all the time. He isn't trying to sabotage me. I am the only one who is eating healthy. I usually don't eat any. Its tempting, but I just eat…

I weigh every day shortly after I get up in the morning. However, I don't get anxious when it moves in either direction. I know it will and I am fine with that. I only count it on Wednesday, though most recently this week, I have started counting it on Sundays for a challenge I am doing.

Mine is about 10 lbs. I was a 14 pants when I started. My size 12s can now be pulled down without unbuttoning. A 10 is still tight. I don't wear many dresses, but I bought a size L maxi dress a few weeks ago that was very tight through the shoulders. Now it fits great!

Congrats to you for being able to stop! That really is an incredible achievement.

I have always preferred the elliptical to the treadmill. I have bad knees and a bad hip, so I can never do enough on the treadmill without hurting. The most I ever burned on the treadmill was about 150 calories before I had to stop. I can do a ton on the elliptical without an ounce of pain. However, my current gym doesn't…

You look GREAT!!! Myself, I think the BMI charts are full of crap, lol. Mine says I am supposed to be 104 to 144. I personally think I look awesome at about 160. I will see what I think when I get to 160. But you do look fabulous!!

Gorgeous!!!

I slip up once a week, lol. It keeps me human. No, you will not gain your weight back. Just get back on track the next day and everything will be fine.

Matt Bomer does it for me!

Way to go!!! You look fantastic!!
