Hi and welcome! Feel free to add me. I'm always down to give some support. :)

Wasn't that a song by Salt N' Pepa?

It looks like there are also some resources out there that specifically give scholarships to children of single parents. http://www.livestrong.com/article/226665-scholarships-for-children-of-single-parents/ This is big, difficult life stuff and I so appreciate the stress you're under. You've already blown past the biggest…

Hi there! I'm also a Portland girl! Feel free to add me. :)

Holy crap, girl you look great! Good for you! Congrats on all that hard work!

I think this is my 104th day, and counting. I'm in this for the long haul. I'm definitely up for some more friends so please feel free to add me. :)

I'm in. Please feel free to add me, and that goes for anyone else in this thread. Since the beginning of the year, I've lost about 20 lbs (some of it before joining MFP) and I have to say, it really does seem to turn back the clock in a whole bunch of different ways. Always glad to have more friends along for the ride. :)

You look amazing! Congratulations on this amazing achievement!

Wow, you look amazing! Congrats to you!

Great post, thanks Joe. This is great info. I always forget about the fish oil but I won't from now on.

Amazing! You must be so proud! :)

I went though the same thing at first. For about the first 6 weeks, I worked my *kitten* off, ate clean, worked out obsessively and was always under my calorie count but the scale didn't really budge for me. My clothes felt a little looser but I wanted to see more results. Then all of the sudden, at about week 6, the scale…

The fact that you've lost 14 lbs so far is a huge accomplishment. Good for you! You should be proud of that. I think focussing on what you have accomplished instead of what you haven't is the best antidote to discouragement. You can totally do this. Feel free to add me if you need some additional support. :)

I'm definitely up for more buddies also. Feel free to add me. :)

Incredible! Good for you! You are an amazing inspiration.
