That's wicked! Congrats!

I was married for 10 months. I was with the guy for 4.5 years total though. Never should have gotten married. I was miserable. I wanted out so bad, but kept trying to make it work. Finally one week he was really mean to my son (not his son) who was 6 at the time. That was the breaking point. There was no way I was going to…

That's some great results after 20 days! Way to go!

Awesome! Congrats. I'm also hoping my sciatica will go away once I start to drop some weight.

Try again but where it says IMG make sure they are lower case letters and have [ ] these brackets around them. Before the link should look like this: img with [and] around it and /img with the brackets around it.

Good for you! You look great!

YAY!!! Congratulations! Must be such a great feeling! Good for you :)

I know a woman who used to be in the 300's and now weighs 152lbs and is a body builder. She looks outstanding! She has kept the weight off for 5 or 6 years now, yet even she has days where she feels fat or "thinks" fat. She calls it Fat Girl Thinking or FGT for short. She says it may never go away. Another part of FGT is…

Wow! Way to go! It must feel so good to be healthy and happy and confident! I'm so happy for you. Thank you for the inspiration. As you say, it was a long road. When someone as successful as you shares their story, it teaches us patience. Thanks and congratulations.

This one was a coverup of an tiny panther that I got when I was 17. This will eventually connect to vines and other lillies going down my whole left side. This one is my son's name above my ankle.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Holy crap! Awesome!!!! Good job :)

Such great news! Congratulations!

OH MY! Not fair to come in here and increase our appetites!!! Yum! Seriously though, great work. Must take a lot of determination.

Thanks, great suggestions. I saw a bunch of Jillian's workouts in a store last weekend. I'll go take a look at them this weekend (and price!) I'm also not interested in an expensive collection.

You look like a whole new person, and you look much more confident in your newer pictures. Congratulations and thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Yay! So happy for you!

Thank you, and congratulations on losing 33lbs. You must be very proud. Again, thanks to everyone for the support and advice that makes sense. I'm feeling less discouraged and confused now.

I cook a meal but make variations for my bf and my son. For example, recently I cooked chicken breasts in a sauce of salsa and honey dijon mustard, with some mushrooms and onions tossed in. And cut them into pieces. My bf ate his as a wrap on flat bread (and ate 3 or 4 wraps). My son ate the chicken with some raw veggies…

A lot more toned, and some nice definition. Lookin gooooood!

I hear ya! I'm doing the same thing with the research, etc. But the good news is that it's keeping me so busy, that I'm succeeding with quitting smoking (I quit 3 weeks ago today!) We'll get there, and I think MFP is a good place to start. Lots of knowledgeable and successful people here.

You people rock. Thank you so much. This is why I'm here. I need to be kept grounded sometimes. I guess just starting out, it needs to be simple. I used to live like this: Pepsi all day every day, from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed. Take out every day, burgers, fries, gravy, etc. Chips and Pepsi every…

There are always going to be non-believers. Here's your chance to prove them wrong. Just keep doing what you're doing if it makes you happy. Sucks though, having someone be so negative.

The thing is, you have a plan. You're doing something about it. And for that, I applaud you. It's ok to not like where you are (in your job, in your relationships, in your body) but if you're taking steps to change it then I think you're allowed to complain! lol. So good for you for working toward your goals.

I've been using loseit for a year now. I was/am very attached to it. I just joined MFP this week and I love it here...trying very hard to abandon Losit, but the food counter on this site is different, and it tells me that I'm going to weight more than what I weigh now in 5 weeks from now....I don't get it. So I might…

Maybe your body has gotten used to your diet and your exercise regime. Have you tried switching things up a little bit? I read some great info in another section yesterday about plateaus, why they happen and how to get out of it. I think it was in the weightloss help section (I'm sure I'm calling it the wrong thing) But it…

Bravo! You handled it well and I applaud you! Hopefully, she mulls over those words and something sinks in. However, with her attitude, I doubt it will happen.

I'm glad everyone likes it. I think the same idea rings true for every aspect of our lives. I have a friend who constantly complains about how much his life sucks. I've been hearing the same story from him for a year now. He was complaining again this pas Monday in an email. He hates his job, he hates where he lives, he…

Big difference! Your butt and thighs look fantastic! So does your flat tummy! I'm jealous, but thanks for the inspiration! :)

Thanks! I thought it was a good motivational saying :)
