That is so awesome!!!!! I recently bought a few (well 8) pairs of size 14 shorts from eBay and they are TOO BIG!! Isn't that an amazing feeling?!!! I bet that now that you've bought clothes that fit, people will REALLY be noticing! Way to go!!!

WOW! You look like a totally different person!!! :)

Definitely a difference!!! :)

Yep, it definitely will go away!!

Amazon.com has mini digital scales that work great too! I keep one at work in my desk drawer. I bought mine at a previous job when they were clearing out stuff that they found in some cabinets. I only paid a dime for it, but it is GREAT! Anyhow, if you check out Amazon, search for a digital pocket scale.

I WISH we could determine where the weight will come off, but I don't think it's possible. :-/

We had ham, green bean casserole, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn. :) The only thing I had to "make" was the green bean casserole, and that we beyond easy. We had leftover ham that we thawed and the potatoes were the refrigerated stuff. Delicious!!!!

I'd say the biggest thing would be to NOT buy the junk food. If it's in the house, it's bound to be eaten. The good news is that you are exercising, and that can be a good stress reliever.

My favorite is either beef and broccoli or chicken and broccoli. Egg rolls really do nothing for me, or perhaps the places I've eaten at just don't make good ones. :) If you are going to a buffet, that makes it a little easier as you can take more broccoli than beef/chicken to make it a little healthier. I tend to skip the…

I only accept friend requests from people who write in why they want to be my friend. So.. if they saw a post of mine and we have something in common with our weight loss goals or journey, sure, I'll friend them. Although I did make a mistake of friending someone who was "into" being a nudist. I did reply to any private…

I'm a technical writer for a software company. I write user manuals and online help.

My favorite is the chocolate brownie and then the chocolate chip cookie dough. :)

Interesting... me too!! I also get "cold spots" on my face when I eat an apple. (Kind of the top of my cheeks under my eyes.) Very strange. I still like apples though. It's so hard to find "little" apples that are smaller than my fist. It seems like the apples most grocery stores sell are the size of my cat.

FYI, I just did a search for "walk" and there IS a 4 mph walking entry already in the database. Just leave off the "power" of your walk search.

You can add your own exercise. :) Whoops, I reread your post. When you go to the Exercise page, search for your exercise. At the bottom of the search results, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click "Add an exercise to the database."

I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis, which causes my knee cap to pop to one side. I had gone to my chiropractor about my back as my gait was off and I needed some spinal readjustments. He actually took care of my knee too!! Virtually no pain - I mean, it does still twang every once in a while, but nowhere near as…

I limit the snacks that I even have in the house. Hmmmm... I think we only have 100 calorie packs of microwave popcorn and sugar free 40 calorie fudgesicles. Well, we do have tortilla chips and Fritos, but I guess I don't think of those as "snacks". Or at least I've never snacked on them, I weigh out an ounce to eat with a…

Hmmmm... I've lost about 30 inches in my waist, 12 inches in my chest... and I don't think I ever did measure my arms or legs, but I know they are smaller too. :)

The only thing I limit to about three hours before bedtime is drinking fluids. I just HATE waking up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. (Well, I'm glad I DO wake up when I need to pee.. but it's the "need" part of it I hate.)

It looks like ONE shot (the whole container) has 639 calories and 57.5 g fat.

According to their website, if you follow their recipe (which includes the other ingredients), it is 239 calories per serving. This was for the Mexican Fajita. Hmmm.. but I suppose if you are adding one shot to one serving, then the calories could be that high as the first ingredient is oil.

Has FitBit fixed the nickel issue in the Force? Folks who are sensitive or allergic to nickel were breaking out from the Force. Just something to consider. I really like my Flex. :) I don't need to wear a watch anyhow... watching those little LED lights really motivates me. :)

Bumping so I can find it again. :)

I'd also suggest bringing one of the little squeeze bottles of Crystal Light instead of the powder packets. A quick squeeze of the little bottle and a little swirl with the straw and you are set. :) (Or Walmart's brand of the squeezable stuff is cheaper.)

And DANG... I wish we had a "Like" button for posts... and then an email notification when someone likes your post. :)

The hubs telling me that I have the perfect hour glass shape -- and then he does the hand movements. LOL

Also.... the standard ice cube = 1 oz of water. :)

I've found the cold weather makes me want to exercise just to warm up. (And considering that the actual temp was -27 yesterday, I welcomed moving.) :)

I am frustrated because of the severe osteoarthritis in my left knee that has finally decided to act up. :( I had a cortisone shot on Feb. 3 and it is kicking in now. I'm easing back into my walking (15 minutes) and DVD exercise (1 mile walk away the pound DVD). I'm going to do two 15 minutes walks at work tomorrow plus…
