Hello there.

That I'll lose the weight and still be unhappy with the way that I look, somehow.

I like this.

Jelly is a really cute name! My son has a hamster named Foggy.

Tilapia - one of my fave fish, yum! Note: bubble tea is nothing like regular tea Lol I think its an acquired taste for some.

This too.

This.

Dear god, I just replied to a Kijiji ad in the "Friendship" section. Wow.

Not the first time, the second, or the third .... Its confusing!!

Well I definitely have the time to figure out how to post a picture on these boards :|

coconut shrimp - yum bubble tea?

Love olives but olive tapenade, gross. Yuck. Pad Thai?

Yum Escargot

gnocchi yum peking duck?

Googling Courgette - yum. Pho?

Yum Beef tongue?

Great job! Keep up the great work :) Natural is the way to go.

I think you are off to a great start already! Deciding that enough is enough is the first step :) With determination and willpower, you will end up stronger, and healthier than you can ever imagine! Just keep at it, and you will do great. MFP is a great community.

Hopefully some of it's from my face ... this double chin has got to go! LOL ...

Just checked this site out - looks pretty awesome! I like that a lot of it I can do at home. Thanks! :happy:

Thanks ladies - I will for sure up the strengh training side of things. I always thought it'd be better to drop the weight and then tone up but now I see differently. It never occured to me to strengh train more to see more results in inches lost. THANKS!!!

By light strength traiining, I mean about 25-30 lbs for my arms and just some normal sit ups on the mat. I find it hard to even squeeze into the abdomen machine LOL

Thanks for the responses - I walk on the treadmill about 5 times a week for an hour. I also do some very light strength training 2-3 times a week, focusing more on my abdomen and upper body than legs. Im new to this and for some reason, I was really wanting to see those loss in inches more than the weight dropping off ...…

I'm all about the Food Network when Im working out at the gym. Chef at Home with Michael Smith is quickly becoming my fave show to watch .... All that deliciousness .... the food of course. :)

PAINT THE TOWN RED AND DRINK UP!! :)

Beautiful progress - really happy for you! :)
