Commando! It doesn't make sense to throw on clean street clothes on top on sweaty panties, and I'm not organized enough to always be carrying a fresh pair. As for the 'unhygienic' angle... are gyms clothes ever that nice and clean in the first place?

I really do not appreciate how women get insecure and tear each other apart. I have honestly lost 'friends' over my weightloss, and it's sincerely upsetting! Finally, after years of being fat and depressed, I actually look hot! I'm ROCKING that shiz. I shouldn't have to feel ashamed or guilty. Just keep going to the gym,…

Stretch Island Fruit Leather. I get it at costco and it's only 45 calories per piece.

I don't get this - I've often thought of shorter rounder women as cute-looking, but when I myself am overweight I'm just... large. Like she-hulk or something.

I keep a bag of baby carrots sitting next to me on the couch. I don't even realize I'm eating them!

Nice! That is the one area of my body where the fat will not go away. :>P

I know this is kinda-sorta related, not because I realized how 'bad' I looked before (meh, I was ok), but because all my friends have gotten really defensive towards me! :>( They make snotty comments, get all edgy when I'm around their men, and sit around and make spiteful comments about all the women in their lives that…

I try to keep my breakfast calories lower because I'll inevitably go over for the day if I don't.

I like Stretch Island fruit leather strips. I get a big box of them at Costco. They're healthy, 45 calories, and are pretty satisfying to nibble on.

Love the color! I miss MY purple hair. Alas, I had to square it up for work.

I often keep a bag of baby carrots sitting next to me on the couch.

I think it's depressing how little food one needs to consume in order to lose weight. The equivalent of four bagels with light margarine a day? Really?? I have to work out for an hour just to be able to eat a sensible dinner. ::sigh::

I'm 5'8" and I'm going for 140. I would be fairly satisfied staying with my current weight, which is ten pounds over ideal, however.

Haha, lucky you! The first thing I saw shrink was my BOOBS. :-P

Not my cup of tea. ::shrug::

I actually don't like the firm fitness-model look. I'm not opposed to anyone else liking that, but I really do just want to be a smaller version of what I look like now. I'm a woman! I'm soft! (Though yes, I DO lift weights sometimes :>P )

I hate you for your jawline. j/k - but it IS really nice. If I get so much as 15 lbs into overweight territory I get gross puffy-face.

Maybe you could slowly wean yourself away from the habit by replacing 1 of your daily cokes with diet coke, and then gradually switching over to all diet coke. At that point you could try and slowly reduce the daily amount.

You're REALLY cute! Oh.. ::ahem:: ... "congratulations in embracing a more healthy lifestyle."

I don't suppose anyone feels like summarizing for those of us who are too lazy to read it?

Avoid cottage cheese - it's CRAZY. I thought I was eating a healthy high-protein low-calorie food. Nope!

Because I read a lot of posts out of curiosity, and had nothing to say about that one.

It's quite shocking how little calories a person has to eat in order to lose weight, isn't it? I started eating greek yogurt - it's extremely filling for the calories consumed.

That (220-age) formula doesn't work for everyone. I have a slower heart rate than most and even when I'm about to keel over my numbers won't get much over 130.
