I just looked at your before and after photos and I can tell a difference. Look at your upper back and your stomach, you have thinned out. I would say if you lose 5 more pounds you might notice a considerable amount more. My size didn't really get smaller until I reached 125 pounds. I swear I went from a size 11 to a size…

You look fantastic!!! Good job on the weightloss.

I looked at it, and I believe some of them are lying about sized they wear. Sorry but when you are a big busted woman, how can you wear a size small? I must me shopping at the wrong store. It is hard for me to find someone that looks like me because the sized I put in on weight I get one match. :( Although that one person…

I am 5'4 and a half according to my Dr's office. I weigh 113 pounds. I started out at 171. My goal was 135 pounds. I didn't feel comfortable at 135 so I kept going. Once I got to 122 I stopped and was happy. I lost the other 10 pounds due to stress and even when I did try to gain weight it didn't come on. I am going to…

Get a better job (do everything possible) hire a job coach if need be XX Done received job offer start job on Jan. 14th. 3. Be happier 4. Working out 3 times a week at the least 5.

Venabambina couldn't have said it better....other than....there are days when you know you made the right decision and you feel like what you went through made your relationship stronger. You will always have good days and you will always have bad days, you will always have people who don't understand your decision to stay…

Only you can answer this question. Just know some of your otherrelationships will not survive because some friends won't stick around because they don't support you. I think that is complete bull crap but whatever. Do what makes you feel happy. If it doesn't survive you will know when that time is. Apparently it isn't now.

I work for physicians. If you told your doctor you drank a bottle of wine a night....they would diagnose you as an "alcoholic". I too used to drink this much and I weighed about 40 pounds more than I do now. Now that I don't drink except perhaps twice a month, I realized that my problem wasn't really with food, it was with…

I always feel guilty....... I had pizza today too, homemade pepperoni. Yummy. I have lost more weight then intended and ate pizza every Friday night during the weight loss process. Friday night is always homemade pizza night at our house. I am not giving up tradition. :)

Well let me tell ya, I was in your boat. I stopped drinking on a daily basis and perhaps buy a bottle a wine every one to two months. That is it! Since I cut out the alcohol now I have a hard time keeping weight on. Never realized how much alcohol was holding me back. I was a real big fan of the "fourth meal" after…

First time I tried it was at a class full of people. 90 percent of the class looked like me trying to do the moves. No one is going to be great at Zumba for the first year unless you were a professional dancer, or did cheerleading. I was neither. I L-O-V-E-D it!!!! I bought the Wii Zumba 2 and do that at home with no shoes…

Yep, and in my boobs of all places. My belly looks really bad if I am laying on my side. I have also had two kids so I have to give them some credit. I think I can save my belly with some toning workouts, it looks prettty good while standing. My boobs only hope is plastic surgery.

Yeah I need to gain now. I had to lose about 48 pounds and ended losing 60. I am terrified to put on here that I want to gain now but maintenance sure isn't working.

Honestly mine is pumpkin spice latte's or pumpkin spice creamer. Fortunately I can only have one coffee with creamer or one latte because hey are too sweet to have anymore than that. Homemade candies are yummy too but I hardly ever get my hands on any so hopefully I will stay away from that. If anyone makes any french…

I found that drastically reducing alcohol has helped me. Drinking a bottle of wine and the cheese and nuts after dinner really didn't help me. The weekend drinking was cut out too and I only drink one or two glasses a month now. Might not be your prob but could be someone elses.

I would wait another three months then to get it altered. I think 4 months before your wedding to get it altered is plenty enough time and gives you some time to lose some more weight. BTW you look fabulous and the dress is gorgeous!

My daughter is 7 when she gets a facebook page.....When and if she gets a facebook page I feel like I know the tricks of the trade so it is more like me being prepared and her knowing that I will punish her for any misbehavior. I can get a fake facebook account just as easily as she can. Bullying is a whole other subject.…

Hello, I have two wonderful babies. One is 7 years old (LOL) and the other is 10 months old. I started my wieght loss journey at 5 weeks post partum. I did not have gestational diabetes but had depression so bad during pregnancy that they put me on Remeron and I gained 48 pounds in a matter of 5 months. To make matters…

A new hair do. It will show off your slimmer face. :wink:

Good Luck Beck, I am glad you have the power to change. Keep the motivation after the procedure and far beyond!

Hbut ot dogs and baked fries fries, yes not very healthy but I am exhausted and it is just me and my little girl. I am way under my calories as well.

Weigh your breasts separtely (plop them on the scale alone). Then weigh yourself and deduct the amount your breast weigh. Afterall, the breast weight doesn't count and should be in your favor. :wink:

The first week. Not in my clothes but just how I felt. Clothing wise probably 13 pounds and that was just them being a little loose. I didn't notice a big difference until about 25 pounds which was my half way mark.

It depends on what type of relationship you had with them. I am friends with one ex but he really just became a friend afterwards and I would never see him as anything else.....on the other hand, just about any other guy I would say yeah, it is wierd and inappropriate. My husband never had a "friend" like that so he…

Alanis Morissette Jagged Pill. Nothing like an angry ***** to make you wanna work out.....especially if you just had a break up.

Make sure your scale is balanced, in the same spot each weigh in, and take the best weight out of three times in a row. Weigh yourself at the same time each morning right when you wake up nude after you pee.

@JakeFlick.....I am flattered. Yes you are my type. I am married to a gentleman that resembles you. Tats....drums...and now two kids ;)

The bigger I was the more I had to lose to go down in pant sizes. I started out a size 14 at 172 stayed there till about 154, stayed a size 12 until 143 then a 10 until 133 and then I dropped two sizes from 133 to 125 (size 6). At 120 went to a size 4 and now at 114 I could probably wear a size 2 but have not been able to…

Thanks exquisite! I appreciate that! I have been at this for 9 months now, and logged every singe day (if I missed a day I went back to log). :)

Mimi, you date a strong silent type.
