Hmmm some good information in here. I was taught at my gym that you need to do 10-15 mins on treadmill, bike or eliptical before weights in order to warm up or you'll hurt yourself.

It's really not funny, but it made me giggle. My mother-in-law does similar things. And when we get together for a meal, usually on a holiday, I'll ask what I need to bring. She says "nothing, I'm taking care of everything" So I will still bring buns or something like that. Every single time I ask, she says don't bring…

Now that's dedication! Way to go, and thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing!!! You and I are about the same height, and I'm at the same weight you were in the first pic, and my goal is about where you are now. It's nice to see pics that I can actually relate to. Congrats on your weight loss, you look fantastic! And thanks again for sharing.

Mine is a really nice, sweet woman, but she seems to dislike me. I'm not sure why. And she claims that she loves me, but she's weird with me. When her son and I decided to move in together a few years ago, she asked me if I'm sure I'm ready...my response was "of course" but what I really wanted to say was "One, we're…

I have a favorite stall! And it bugs me when someone's in it. It also bugs me when someone goes into the stall directly beside me when the other ones are empty. Makes me feel like we're peeing directly beside each other. I also have a favorite pump at the gas stations I go to. And a favorite parking spot at work...etc. And…

Big difference for just 2.5 months! Way to go!

I tried reposting your link and fixing the image tags but it's not working *shrug*

Amazing! Congratulations on looking great, and being healthy! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Great job. You look fantastic!

Wow! What a transformation!

I think only the really successful people post a lot and that's why we can only find rave reviews. And that seems to be the people that have more to lose than we do. If you have lots to lose, it comes off quickly. I've reintroduced carbs into my life (good, healthy carbs) and I'm feeling better, more energetic and losing a…

I started the 17 Day Diet a few weeks ago. I have about the same amount of weight to lose as you. But it was very slow going on the weight loss for the first week. Then I joined MFP and learned a lot more about what my body needs. 1200 calories was too few for me and no carbs was wrong too. I have since abandoned the 17…

I have yet to try Kale chips, but I think I should, I keep hearing so much about them! I put spinach in my scrambled eggs (or egg whites) and in many other things. You can put spinach in just about anything. I also will add it into a salad.

Great job! You look fabulous!

My breakfast varies, so that I don't get bored. I eat between 8:30 and 9:00 when I get to work. I always have a yogurt. Low fat, no sugar added. Then I will have 100% whole grain quaker oatmeal. I just bring a packet or two to work and make it here. And mid morning I will have an apple. Or, I will have scrambled eggs or…

You look excellent, and most importantly, you look so happy!! Good for you.

Congrats!!!

Wow! What a transformation! Thank you for sharing, and inspiring!!

Way to go! You're at about the same height and weight that I'm at currently. Let's keep pushing forward! I'll cheer you on!

I think everyone gave some really awesome advice/suggestions. So I'm just going to wish you good luck and tell you that I will be cheering you on.

Thanks Pixie, and good luck to you as well.

I weigh every morning, because for me, it's a "one day at a time" kind of battle. If I maintained or went down then I know I'm doing everything right. If I went up, then it's my punishment for that cheat the day before.

Thank you! This was very helpful!

Congratulations!!! I am also 5'2.5" and when I started my new lifestyle a couple weeks ago I weighed 163lbs. So we're very similar right now. I my goal is 125-130lbs.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't eat nuts, so that's out. But the other suggestions are good. To philco41, yes, I am definitely over compensating, and trying to hard. I used to drink Pepsi from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. Never drank water. I would eat fast food on an almost daily basis. Burgers,…

Huge victory! Good for you. So happy to hear that.

Congrats! That's awesome.

That's awesome, way to go!

Lol, I noticed that too. Pretty sure it's not April yet!
