WOW!!!! This is fantastic! What an amazing inspiration! Thank you SO much for sharing. I especially love the part where you started jogging - I've been thinking of starting as soon as the snow melts.

Awesome! And I agree - excellent message :) Thank you :)

OMG!!! It's shaped like a heart???? I am now obsessing :) They had this (not a heart, though) last May. We bought a new car and had to drive a couple hours out of town to pick it up and made a pit stop on the way home, late at night and discovered this most amazing creation. I think I NEED one soon :) Oh, and LOVE the…

Congratulations!!!! That is fabulous work!

Hi! I've lost 120 with more to go and know what you mean. I still feel fat - well, technically I still am, but you know what I mean, it's dificult to see the improvement. Beyond that, I feel like a melted candle, all mishapen and quite unattractive. I really appreciate you posting your struggle with this because sometimes…

Oh my gosh! I feel you! Spanx are the devil!!!! ha! what about something lighter, like a silky long underwear - I think Lands End or LLBean has them. Also... I order from SimplyBe online and they have this cool trouser that has a silky liner that's slimming but also prevents chafing. It was hell in August, but I love them…

Hi! I started at over 350 and couldn't make it up half a flight of stairs without pausing and panting. Everything was a chore. I didn't have the strength to do much an I sstarted to feel like I would die every time I got sick - which wasn't infrequent. I also worked full time, had a family, and little free time. You know…

Hi! can I play here too? :) I'm Tracy, 46 yo mother of two crazy boys, 9 and 15 - I fantasize about going on travel for work just to get a clean bathroom. We have a Golden Retriever that thinks it's a cat and right now I'm super stressed and bingey (is that a word?). I'm trying to be tolerant but I don't want to be…

Hi! I've lost 121 and counting. As for the first 100? I would say around 10 months or so - perhaps an average of 10lb per month, 2.5 lb per week. The averages are deceiving, though. For me, I lost quickly at first and then it slowed. Though I get frustrated and have up and down times, the general trend is still down. And…

OMG!!!! LMAO!! Thank you! I'm sitting herew at work and I SO needed this!!!! I adore my crock pot, use it and leave it unattended all the time - it probably has separation anxiety and would like therapy but it's not getting it. How did everything turn out?

PS - I have got to remember to get a photo on here!!!

Hmmmm.... I figure I'll weigh in for fun and since I'm older than most of the posters. I'm struggling a bit to not sound preachy, and not veer into TMI, so if I come off that way it's not my intent. I think it's all very personal. If you feel or view things differently than your peers or family that doesn't make either…

You know that feeling you get when things are going well? Like you can just take on the world? Like you can fight every fight and win every battle accompanied by some rocking soundtrack like a hero in an 80's flick or superhero movie? Like you could run forever? Yeah... I'd like to feel like that and be able to run without…

I am so very sorry for your loss and your ordeal. It is so very brave of you to journal publically and sort out your feelings surrounding this terrible time. I'm glad that you felt safe enough to share and will hopefully accept the support offered. Sometimes that's a very hard thing to do. Sometimes hindsight, though clear…

Hi! I'm 46 and would love to find friends and support on here! I'm trying to get better about logging things in and using this site more. feel free to add me (anyone!). OK, I'm laughing because that last bit sounded a little desperate but hey! :) Tracy
