Feel free to add me! I could use some more motivational friends on here.

How tall are you? I'm built the same way you are with not much in the boob department. The only reason I have boobs now is because I'm overweight.

I have 120 pounds to lose, and it would be nice to have support from other people in a similar situation. Feel free to add me.

My reward is going to Disneyland! I know it sounds cliche, but I love everything Disney! I haven't been to Disneyland in 14 years and my hubby said he would take me as my graduation from nursing school gift. So, this gives me a year to get my body fat percentage down to 21%-25% (right now its at 38%). Oh, and of course to…

I like the chocolate biggest loser protein powder. I mix it with frozen strawberris, a banana, spinach, and soy milk. It is 366 calories and 23 grams of protein. It last me for 4-5 hours until I'm hungry again if I don't have a mid-morning snack.

I'm 5'11" and currently weigh 248lbs. My goal is around 145, but ultimately my goal is get my body fat percentage down to 21%-23%. A few years ago I was 170lbs, 31% body fat, and a size 10, so I feel I can get down to 145ish and be okay but we'll see how I look and feel as I get closer to my goal.

I often get Portuguese or Italian. I am neither Portuguese or Italian though, so I find it rather funny. The oddest one I've ever had someone assume I was was Hispanic. I don't even speak Spanish or look Hispanic!

I'm 1/3 of the way through nursing school. I'm in a fast track program, so we go to school year round with a total of 6 semesters. Durring the first semester I actually lost 15 pounds, but this semester I have sadly gained most of it back. Starting tomorrow I'm kicking up my workouts and I'll be trying to resist all of my…

All of these suggestions are great! I have a lab (another working bread) and she gets a two mile jog everyday. She also gets left alone for long periods of time because I am in nursing school 3 days a week for 8-10 hours a day. Labs also tend to be chewers and her kennel is actually pulled away from the wall a few inches.…

And here I thought peanut butter was a thing in the states only!!! It is my favorite snack with an apple or celery!!! YUMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if I'll pass the phase of shopping in my closet! I have jeans from a size 8 all the way to a 20. I used to be an 8/10 until a few years ago when I started drinking way too much soda! Now I'm up to a 20. I will get back down to an 8!!!! And I have shirts from a small up to an XL.. So, it looks like I'll be…

The military one says I'm at 50% body fat. :( My goal is to get down to 21% before I graduate nursing school in April of 2014.

^^^ This cracks me up!!! I wear glasses and my profile is set to private, but I am in no way near being shy! LOL You look like my sis in law and she is one of the sweetest people I've ever known! The way you are smiling reminds me of the times I try to hold a laugh in. You look happy in this picture!

Try fashion bug. I have a 34" inseam and fashionbug.com has the right size style of jeans with a 34" inseam. When I'm thin I like to order my pants from gap (has 34' and 36" inseam) or old navy, but I can't do that right now because they don't carry my size.

I've fallen off a toilet before. :blushing: :laugh:

I need a twin!!! :) Age: 31 Height: 5'11" HW: 260 CW: 240 GW: 140-150 Hope I have a twin out there!

I also weight myself every morning. It is part of my morning routine; get up, go potty, wash my hands, brush my teeth, and weight myself. I find it helps me stay on track with my weight.

Try drinking water through a straw. It helps me get a lot of water in. I tend to drink more if I'm drinking through a straw.

We started out planning a practicle joke on a friend (she is very old fashion). We went a bought rings and were going to go to Vegas and get our picture taken in front of one of those drive thru chapels. When we got home from the store I was doing some chores and I turn around and he is down on one knee. He said there was…

I used to drink 2-3 diet sodas a day. I've never had problems with headaches from the diet sodas either. At first when I gave up the soda I would get headaches from lack of caffeine. Now after about a month of being off the diet sodas I'm sleeping better and I've noticed I'm losing pounds quicker. I also realized it was…

Holy cow!!! I can't imagine all those calories in a salad dressing! Crazy!

I am also doing the C25K program. I do my program on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday I go to Zumba and I swim on Saturday. Swimming is a great aerobic workout and strength training. I also do strength training three times a week.

I had known I needed to drop the pounds since before my husband and I got married a year ago. But what really the tipping point was at orientation for nursing school this past month. During orientation my class recieved books and our scrubs. I was the last student to get my scrubs and one of the administrators asked me…

I'm doing mine on the treadmill for now since I have some knee prblems. Once I'm in better shape I'll start running outside too. But it also gets cold and very windy here (Reno, NV) in the winter so I'm sure I'll go to the gym when its 20 degress F with strong wind. :)

I also wear a 11.5 to a 12 in women's. You can find tennis shoes at New Balance! I order mine online and they have a great return policy incase the shoes don't fit. They also have some 11.5 (which is impossible to find) and sizes over 12. For tennis shoes its my go to place! If I want something else I go to Zappos.com

Awesome! Thanks!

That is awesome!!! I'm also a 2XL scrub pant and I about cryed when I had to go for that size! Now I'm motivated to get down into a M scrub pant like I used to be a few years ago! Good job on your new scrub size!

Sounds like California too! Regulating people severly will not change obesity in anyone! Stupid government!

Wow! Good job!!! How'd you do it? I'm starting nursing school this week and I'd like to drop 45 lbs this first sememster. I'm afraid I'm going to fall back to my favorite study snack foods. Any ideas would be wonderful!

Your starting weight is almost exactly what mine is! I'm 5'11" and my starting weight was 255. At my thinest I was wearing a size 10 and that was only 2 years ago. Now at a 20 I hate everything I wear. I hate to shop and I feel like others are judeging me because of my size. Thanks for the boost in my confidence! I now…
