I like both suits so I'm not much help there, but I think I've just found my new Ultimate Goal Reward! I have been wanting a motorcycle for a long time now and I really want to learn to ride!! I come from a riding family. I would love to go on long cruises with just me and the road! Thanks for the inspiration!

At home I always go "Well, I'll just put this HERE." Then I forget where that is. Drives my husband NUTS. I also chew at the skin by my fingernails. I used to bite my nails, then it slowly graduated to the skin around them. Gross, but sue me. If I think any bit of skin is flapping in the breeze it must be eliminated right…

Yup.

THIS 1000x! I was initially scared to lose my weight (for the second time in my life) because if I do, there will be nothing to blame my problems on! It was only recently that I decided it has to be done. ...and on the subject of being thin before. I did that and I was gorgeous, but I ONLY saw the SAME FAT GIRL. I was…

I was going to get in here and say this, but she beat me to it. As someone who is losing weight for the second time around... Do NONE of you remember when you were heavier (some, GREATLY overweight like I happen to be) and felt hopeless? You really NEVER wished for your weight to just fall off? I don't believe it one bit.…

I'm with you guys... I don't know how NOT to be "the fat girl". I even lost 100lbs in the past and didn't even realize how good I looked. I still saw the same fat, ugly girl. (Although now when I look back on pictures of that time, I was gorgeous! LOL) I keep telling myself this time will be different. This time I will…

I am log my food every day and am always looking for new friends. :) I have been on this site for a while, but just recently decided to get my butt into gear!

No-butter banana bread! Instead of butter/shortening (the recipe I have calls for 1/3rd cup) I put one single serve container of light yogurt instead! No butter and they taste the exact same! Then I make mini-muffins with the batter and bake each pan for about 12 minutes. Baby banana muffins. YUM.

Been there, done that! I'm about 2 weeks into this time... but you notice my "joined" date is much further back. :) Feel free to add me, I log every day (good and bad) and am always looking for new friends. :)

Feel free to add me, I log every day (good and bad) and am always looking for new friends. :) Where in the midwest? I'm from MN.

Feel free to add me, I log every day (good and bad) and am always looking for new friends. :)

Feel free to add me, I log every day (good and bad) and am always looking for new friends. :)

I need to do this too! I bring my husband to work at 6am and usually go back to bed until I get up at 8 or sometimes 8:20 to get ready for work at 9. I have being lazy down to a science! Today when I got back into bed, I had trouble falling back asleep! I eventually forced myself to sleep until I rolled out of bed around…

Based on your profile pic I totally read that in a *yelling voice*. Haha! I get what you mean, I too will be wary of people who have no picture and request me. I guess I like to "picture" people when I see them writing on my wall and stuff. I also understand that people on here are already taking a HUGE step by admitting…

I log everything and am always looking for new friends. (This goes to anyone) I tend to be a little more lax on weekends, not minding if I go over my 1840 goal by a few hundred.

DAYUM. Of course your wife helped prep your meals and such. With a husband looking like that I'd do whatever he wanted!

All pop/soda. I was drinking anywhere from 3-8 cans per DAY. Now I drink WATER! Chips. I can kill 3/4 of a bag in one sitting, so I'd better just NOT have them. I've done less giving up than adopting NEW habits. These are things I do now... Log everything... even if I go over my goal. Check calories and serving size on…

My profile picture is one of them. I'm leaving it up there until I can take another that I am proud to have up. :)

I don't even know you and I find we are a lot alike. :) We have the same weight-loss goals (similar lb numbers). I too used to do the gas station thing. I could polish off a whole pizza in one sitting and a few cans of pop. I ate when I was mad, I ate when I was sad, I ate when I felt fat, then felt guilty about it after!…

Oh I'm so happy for you, and I cannot wait for this. :)))))

I am interested in this thread, I was just considering getting one of those... Here's what I've seen from my research: Fitbit Zip$59.95 Pros: Super simple and economical. Syncs via bluetooth and wifi. Plays well with MFP and other apps. Has built-in display. Cons: Does not monitor sleep. Not waterproof. Limited. Fitbit…

You look great! You are really inspirational because I am starting at 335 and hoping to get somewhere south of 200. OH, I also did not have a clue about spaghetti squash. I am going to try it! I looked up a video about prepping it and it is super easy. I also love how the person in the video called it "A hungry girl's best…

I sure am! I am 26 years old, 5'7'' and I started at 335. I'm only down to 328 (as of this morning), but I will take it! :) I am always looking for friends, feel free to add me. (That goes for anyone!)

Today is my first zero-soda day (yesterday was my last one) and I haven't touched one yet! (for me that is really saying something!) I've been putting away the water like crazy! Started taking protein powder to supplement my protein (and had a lovely shake with breakfast).

Wow, this post has been great. I have read all of the responses. When I originally started my journey a short time ago I read about HCG. I only found good things about it. I considered getting it! I was discouraged and finally gave up after I learned that it's now banned and cannot be bought OTC. Now I'm glad I never got…

I am scared to do this... but I think I will give it a try. I already know what I need to improve on this week... more protein. :) I also gave up pop (including my major vice, diet dew) yesterday.

Oh this is a good thought! I'm so new to logging (this time around) that I haven't had to worry about it quite yet. During that time of the month I usually eat anything and everything. I sleep a lot and eat a lot, lol. I like the dark chocolate idea. I might have to go for That!

I am 26 and I started at 335. I am only 7 lbs down, but it is a start! I also had thyroid issues, so bad that it had to be removed! I am always looking for friends and log my food every day. Feel free to add me and I wish you the best!

In the past, I've lost over 100 lbs and still told myself I was STILL way too heavy. I didn't celebrate that loss. I didn't embrace the compliments. I still looked in the mirror and saw the same fat girl.... and that is what I later went back to! I wish I could go back to thin me and tell her she is beautiful. I wish I…

What a range of answers! I keep mine closed because I don't think it's anyone's business...and because that's the default. I have been thin and I have been fat (and still am, lol). During my entire life, I have been shamed for eating too much, eating too little, or because of what I eat. I even have my baby book that says…
