One of my best friends is getting married next July and I refused to be the fat friend in the pictures. I had 70 pounds to lose when I started in February but I've 40 of those gone already and aim to get at least another 30-35 down by the wedding. I think 5lbs a month is a very attainable goal. Add me if you like!

I'm going to print off your pics and use them as inspiration, or is that too weird?...it probably is.... Maybe I shouldn't have said any thing!!

Yeah I totally do this! I alternate sides so both are equally swollen! I only seem to do it when I'm deep in thought or worried though.

This only happened once but I cringe to think of it now, a 12 piece KFC bucket with 4 fries, 1 corn on the cob and 1 gravy tub, I ate it all in one sitting except 2 pieces of chicken and 1 portion of fries that my mother ate. So sickening to think of it, thank God I woke up and sorted myself out or would have been one of…

Praying for his safe return. God bless.

Hey! I'm Irish too, I downloaded the app for my iPhone first then found the site online and I love it!

Congratulations! You should be so proud of yourself Jen_bd6!

Amidst all the BS, myths and sometimes total misinformation that can be huge part of this site, there you are with a sensible, reasonable approach to all things nutrition and fitness related, it's great to have people on here like you who know their stuff and are willing to share it around. You can always be counted on to…

Bumping for inspiration I'm starting NROLFW soon. Can't wait!

Bump. I'd also like some info on this, I'm not training for a Marathon though.

Can't wait to try it! Thanks!

But not if you eat them after 7pm cos they turn straight to fat.

That's so funny I'm 29 but if anyone asks I always say I'm 26! I must be stuck in my head at that age! Feel free to add me, best of luck!

All of the above.

Great story as usual! I call dibs on a signed copy of the book you will HAVE to publish!:happy:

Your thighs are definitely smaller in the second pic, but girl you are a fox in both pics!

If you eat something from someone else's plate!!

Matthew Fox. Josh Holloway. Jason Statham. Paul Newman when he was alive loved him since I was about 12 I'm 29 now. Also the usuals, Denzel, Richard Gere, Jeremey Irons, Tom Selleck give me the horn!

Cut down on certain foods but never cut out something completely, just not sustainable for a long term goal, for me anyway.

Why would you give up a food altogether that you don't have an allergy or intolerance too I don't see the point, MODERATION is the key to a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. I believe all foods have their place. I know if I gave up pizza, chocolate, wine, beer or other "non-essential" food I'd fall off the wagon quicker…

Have you tried a contraceptive pill? I had terrible hormonal acne after having my daughter so my doc put me on Dianette and I've never looked back.

Elm tree, it seems to be pretty accurate too.

Love Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom, but it has been discontinued in Europe and is very expensive to ship from the US so when I hit the 45lb loss mark it is my treat to myself!!

^ ^ Have no interest in fb but I can't get enough of MFP!!

You look fantastic this is why I want to start NROLFW in October, I can't wait to see the change in my body next summer.

Hi, I'm not perfect either, no matter what I like to think!! Feel free to add me.

If my child misbehaved enough to warrant discipline then it is up to the responsible adult present to take care of the situation. However, discipline is not synonymous with spanking or hitting my child. If somebody hit them, they would have to be prepared to put me out permanently, cos I'll be coming for you!

I would LOVE this!! Nom nom!!
