Thank you guys so much for responding! I think sometimes we have to get the opinions of other because frankly I see me everyday of course I think I look the same. I will keep at it...flat stomach coming soon! :-)

I figured it out...forgot my codes there for a moment. :-)

Well uploading those pictures didn't happen. Not sure what I did wrong.

This^^ But I will admit I shop there...only place I will buy my undergarments so I am a bit bias. My mom is a full figure woman and she can buy bras there she just has to shop their online store. No company has to carry everyone's size that is just not logical. It is also NOT just a "big" girl thing. There are plenty of…

Never force yourself to eat. Your body knows what it is doing, and it sends cues for TRUE hunger. I say if you do not feel hungry do not eat. Simple as that.

I think this is a hot button topic because everyone loses weight differently. People think there is some type of magic formula but in truth we are all different. However, being healthy is something I think everyone should take into consideration. It really isn't healthy to be set at 1200 execise and burn 500 and then not…

Remember to start slow with strength. When I first started I could only lift two pound dumbells as well now I do circuit with a 10 pound kettlebell most days and am working my way up to the 15 pounder. You can also do body weight exercises they really help you build up to bigger weights. I do plank almost everyday and I…

If you are having a hard time sticking to 1200 then I would manually adjust your settings. Use a BMR and TDEE calculator and use those figures to determine how many calories you consume daily. I am set at 1200 and sometimes it is hard, I just make sure to log anything that burns calories as exercise so I can eat those cals…

I try to eat low carb, because frankly carbs make my belly stick out...lol. The less I eat of them the flatter my stomach looks.

You look awesome girl...great work!

Yes especially with water "weight". When you retain water the scale will always be up. The more water you drink the less you retain and the more accurate the number on the scale is. Also, water is filling and the more of it you drink the smaller your meals will be throughout the day. It certainly helps with portion control…

Cookies of any kind and warm apple pie...these are definitely my vices.

Looking good! Keep it up.

Took me forever to find my original post. Here is my update guys... SW: 140lbs CW: 134.2lbs (Damn water weight) GW: 127lbs UGW: 123 Weigh in Dates: 8/1 - 134.2 8/8 - 133.2 8/15 - 8/22 - 8/31 - Total Weight loss: 1 lbs Just a pound but hey every pound counts right?

This^^ It's hard I won't lie but it saves you in the long run.

I probably watch entirely too much TV but here are some of my faves: Army Wives Drop Dead Diva Law & Order: SVU The Hills (re-watching the seasons right now on Netflix) One Tree Hill (cried when it went off the air) Teen Mom 16 & Pregnant Family Guy Southpark Scandle Revenge Private Practice Criminal Minds

In my case it is too damn hot. Here in Dallas you are likely to die from heat stroke trying to exercise outside at this time of year. I try to get outside and do my exercise in the Fall when it isn't sitting at 106 in the shade. Gosh I miss California.

Awesome NSV. Hoping that my jeans will be less tight soon.

I guess there is hope for me yet. I don't have any kids but I absolutley hate my stomach and am working hard to get it flat. I drink tons of water, watch my sugar intake like a hawk, and just started kettlebell circuits. Hopefully at the end of this month I will see some results. Going to definitely check into Insanity!

Great job! Looking good. Good luck with the rest of your weightloss goals. :-)

With that dress...I say go with option 2. It compliments the silhouette of the dress. Option 1 is very cute as well but the platform is too chunky for the occassion.

Congrats! Stick with it...you will get to your goal. :-)

I always liked water but definitely was not drinking enough of it. For me personally it took about 2 weeks to get comfortable drinking 8 glasses or more. Now I have to have it...my body literally craves it and I can tell when I haven't had enough of it. As far as the tinkling goes...sorry that doesn't go away. You will…

Love her too...don't care what people think! Saw her in concert for the first time last year...ah-mazing!

You are my "sole" sister on these two!

Dang...you an my fiance should be friends...he gets a kick out of that stuff too.

Cookies, apple pie, and shoe shopping...lots of shoe shopping! I have over 150 pairs.

My tummy :-( I hate it!

I too hate my belly...sticks out no matter how much the scale says I have lost. I have found for me that cutting back on sugars helps mine go down. I also just started lifting. I do kettlebells. The first week I did cicuits with a 5 pounder and now have moved up to a 10...dying to get to the 15 so I can start getting the…

I bet that was a sobering experience for sure...so scary. For me it was just being tired and uncomfortable all the time. I couldn't sleep, my legs would ache from the extra weight I was carrying, my skin was getting bad again like high school, and I had very little energy. Then one day I was at work going up a flight of…
