That's awesome, congrats!

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - it was so bad! Billy Budd wasn't my fave either.

OOH-RAH!!!!

Today I will stay on track because I've really been struggling with sugar the past few weeks and I need to get back to a good place!

Least Favorite - Beets (I keep hearing they are good, maybe I just don't cook them correctly) Most Favorite - Asparagus!

Sending you a friend request. I struggle with balancing social activities revolving around food with the desire to eat healthy!

Great plan! Feel free to add me if you need support (like I do!).

#1 - I want to be healthy for a very long time. #2 - I want there to be an actual chance of someone loving me. Stupid, I know.

All these curls!

Soda - It's not that I would never drink it again, but not on a regular basis. It just seems not beneficial to my goals. I gave up peanut butter for several months as it was my biggest trigger food. I'm quite pleased to say that I now have it back in the house and am completely capable of using it in moderation.

That's fantastic!!!

You've done a fantastic job! (And I just started adding running intervals to my walking and the broad street run is one of my goals!)

Pull out the clothes. You'll definitely feel better. I had some "cute" clothes (non-work) that I've recently pulled out of the closet and I enjoyed rockin' them this weekend!

My first goal is under 200. My second goal is 160. We'll see from there.

This is interesting because I'm in a similar situation. I was very athletic in high school but still very overweight. The truth is I'm not sure I could pick a role model as an inspiration because I have no idea what my body is going to look like. I wouldn't want to think I may be shaped like someone then discover I'm…

Once a week. However, that sometimes flexes a little. If I know I'm going to be out of town, I'll weigh before I leave a few days early. So it may be 5 days between weigh in one week and 9 days the next.

I'll have to have a new wardrobe to be bought over time, but it's going to include some clothes from Victoria's Secret, Ann Taylor, The Loft, Talbots, etc. I covet cute and classy clothes.

33 - Not sure I'm hot, but I'm a heck of a lot of fun!

My waist. It is so little in comparison to everything else!

I hate getting phone calls at the gym, but I'm on call 24/7. Keep it short and sweet and find out if it is an emergency before really interrupting my workout. I like being able to go to the gym and would hate for a ban to be an excuse that I cannot.

I had been doing strength training for several years and thought my once extremely weak ankle was invincible. I was in Florida with a friend and turned it to the point that I thought it may be broken while sitting down into a lounge chair. I realized that they may be stronger, but I still needed to lose the weight.

There are days that working out ends up in a migraine, especially if I'm already on the edge of getting one. One thing I've discovered is to be conscious of your are breathing. I have a terrible habit on some exercises of holding my breath and it definitely causes me issues. Also, listen to your body. Learn the difference…

2 of my closest friends are on MFP, but I'm not friends with them on here. They have similar goals (to maintain), mine are very different (to lose, a lot). I very much need the support of my MFP friends, but my real life friends just don't understand some of the struggles.

Bump - my goal is to start running at 260. Hopefully, I can see that in a few weeks!

Guilty as charged!

My diary is open to friends only and I'm definitely open to friend requests from those who are really doing this!

bumpin' for later perusal.

Very interesting....I'll try it!
