A new guy at work asked me, after I lost weight about 4 years ago, "how do you stay so tiny if you eat so much..." (I was doing small, frequent meals so he probably did catch me eating all the time). The shock wasn't that he thought of me as tiny (well, that, too), but mostly that for the first time ever that I wasn't…

Seriously. How hard is it to make something taste good with a ton of butter and creme and salt? I trust the skinny chef. :)

Hi everyone! And thanks for putting this together, Colleen! My name is Kellie. I'm 29. I'm 5'5". CW: 138. Halloween GW: 132. UGW: 125. I'm already planning my annual Halloween bash - LOVE this holiday. And I'm super stoked for the extra support/motivation. My workout plan is currently: Mon: Zumba Tues: Ashtanga yoga Wed:…

I'm in! :)

Bump for when I get home. :) This is so great, proud of all you fabulous ladies.

I went veg a bit over a year ago. I read a lot of books and watched a lot of documentaries and while you can bicker all you want about the health aspects of each type of diet you just cannot deny the cruelty aspect of the meat industry. I can't support that, knowing what I know. I couldn't "unlearn" that if I wanted to,…

I agree with this - fruit helps fight sweets cravings for me. I find replacing things with healthier options works better than cutting it out. Or maybe you can chose one day a week to look forward to that specific thing you love. Then you won't just binge out of frustration at the idea you'll never get it again? It's all…

YAY! I love this post and the ideas people have! Fabulous goal to cut the grocery bill. $50/ mo was probably my budget in college (2001-2004) and I didn't eat fast food/processed food very often. And now I'm a vegetarian. So here are some of my tips (though I'm sure you're way more of an expert than me!) - Big batches of…

Great motivation - you look fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats - you look so great! Keep up the good work!!

Just get started. Don't worry about being perfect with your choices, but be perfect with your measuring/portions! Take a few days to adjust to logging everything you eat. Then you can start to see where you need to make adjustments. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

daaaaang you look great!

woop! nice work and thanks for the inspiration!!

Congrats on all your hard work and progress (weight loss and your GED)! You ROCK for taking control of your life like that - be proud! If it's been a while since you've seen your future inlaws, they will probably be so impressed with your transformation they won't even notice a speck of dust here and there, hehe! I am…

sounds delish, thanks!!

You look great! Congrats on all your hard work. I'm sending youa friend request since we are about at the same weight and goal weight - hope that's ok!

16 lbs for me and working hard at it! I'm new, too. Add me if you like!!

I know someone the exact same way and it's SOOO frustrating because this woman always wants to bring it up, or make comments about how it must be easy for everyone else because we don't have A, B or C to deal with (pick the excuse of the day). But then when I give advice she's already got an argument for why that wouldn't…

Wow! Very impressive! Cute dress, too (:

look great!

(: Fun idea! Here's my list: * Dates with my hubby on summer nights * Cuddling with my dogs * Organizing things * Flip flop weather * Working in my garden * Mangos * Spending a whole day at the lake * Playing hooky from work * A good book * Yoga * Sleep

Before pic- so cute and fun! ha. Wow to the after, you look fantastic! Great job!!

yowza! you look great! congrats!

When I don't feel like working out: "In an hour you'll either be done with your workout, or you'll be feeling guilty. Choose."

Just since January? You are freaking awesome! You look great, girl!

Yes, because I'm OCD. I plan my dinners out the weekend before and shop on Sunday. I do really simple breakfasts and lunches so I just make sure I have things on hand. I also plan what I am going to eat before I go out to a restaraunt, if at all possible, early in the day, so I can compensate for the calories with extra…

Thank you so much for this clear explanation!

you look fantastic!! thanks, i needed some inspiration tonight! keep up the great work!

Mila Kunis or Christina Ricci?... It's realistic for me because I'm pretty petite.

You look so great! Congrats! And love the old Smashing Pumpkins poster in the old pic. ;) Just throwing that out there.
