  • I've lost 98 pounds so far! I really want to hit that 100 pound mark by next week (that's a year since I started, but I'm proud of how far I've come!). I still want to lose about 10 or 11 more once I hit that 100 pound mark. So that's about 12-13 total to go! This is the hardest part, I'm so close but it's coming off so…
  • My current favorite its "You need to stop losing weight, you're smaller than me now." Excuse me this isn't a competition for who's smaller, I'm finally healthy and if I'm smaller than you and you can't stand that you need to do something about yourself, not tell me to stop!
  • 5'2" here also! SW-221 GW- 110-115 CW-124 I have 3 babies (all by c-section) youngest is 4 Here is a comparison photo from last Christmas to this Christmas (actually about 5 pounds ago, so I was at about 129)
  • When I started this almost a year ago, I didn't eat back my exercise calories. Once I hit about 70-80 pounds lost I started eating 1/2 of them back. I'd been at a bit of a stall for a few weeks, and they kicked started the losing again. Now I'm at 96.8 pounds down, and when I hit about 93 lost I stalled again, so I started…
  • I don't drink coffee, but this what I got my husband for Christmas. We have very little counter space, and we didn't want to deal with the little cups and trying to store them. He loves this thing! You can make mug size and travel mug size. He also loves using his Dunkin Donuts coffee grounds. Very inexpensive, but very…
  • I started at 221 (on 2-14-12), as of 12-24-12 I am (was) 128.4- gained a bit this week because of Christmas and that time of the month. I walk and run, and eat 1200 calories (and eat most of my exercise calories back).
  • When I hit 35% loss (ultimate goal is between 45 and 50% loss), I got my first 2 done. The first was because I was tired of always being afraid of losing my rings (I've since had them resized, but don't wear them when I'm running)- I got our wedding date tattooed around my ring finger (we also celebrated 10 years just…
  • Please don't judge the child or the parent. You don't know what is going on in that family. What if the child was not feeling well, has a developmental delay, just got back from the doctor and had to have his shots. You can't judge someone on seeing them one time. My kids don't normally act like this, because they know…
  • Before- 221 lbs Current- 131 lbs Goal- Between 110 and 130 Basic good eating, watching the calories. I also run 3 days a week, and walk 3-4 days a week. This coming year I want to get into more light weight training.
  • Anyone know how to resize it to see the whole thing?? Best I can get is the thumbnail size....I'm so not tech savy!
  • So, I can't resize for some reason. The top one says One Step At A Time
  • Thank you all so much! I did it all with starting at 1200 calories a day. I also walk 3-4 mornings a week (between 2 and 5 miles) and I run 3 mornings a week (between 3 and 4 miles). I stopped eating processed foods, and stopped drinking sodas. I recently upped my calorie intake to 1300-1400 a day. I also have a great…
