Wow - you look AMAZING! And so happy! Congratulations!

I love reading about NSVs. Sometimes I get a little too obsessed with the number on the scale, but then I have an awesome NSV and realize I'm still making progress. One of my biggest NSVs so far is probably the fact that I don't have to shop in the Plus section anymore. Out of habit, that's still my first stop and then I…

You look amazing! Congratulations on all of your success so far! Also, I adore you for posting this. Made the geek in me happy lol.

That dress is absolutely gorgeous, and you look amazing in it! Love, love, LOVE the corset back!

Pitbull - "Shake Senora", "Pause" and "Fuego" (my favorite Zumba songs, they always get me going) Bruno Mars - "The Lazy Song"

I love doing Zumba on my Wii. It holds me over between my regular classes. I also like Just Dance 3. Some days I can't sit still and feel like I have to dance, so I turn that on and burn some calories. So much fun.

Amazing job! Congratulations - you look fantastic! :)

I've been yo-yo-ing, too. Trying to get back on track, so I can definitely use some encouraging friends. Sending you a request now so we can help each other out. :)

Welcome! Just added you!

I have four kids - 2, 6, 9 and 10. I look and feel so much better than I did when I started having kids, so I'm adding myself to the hot mom category, even though it's a work in progress. I try to keep my kids active with me. They love to swim, so we hit the pool as much as possible. When the weather's nice, I walk them to…

WOW! You look like so much younger! Beautiful! It's a good thing, IMO. I find Carson Daly adorable.

I was just going to say that! :)

I don't have a lot of face pics from when I was at my heaviest, but this is the change from losing 50 lbs since January. ]

Nice. Love Garbage. Deftones - Passenger

I saw some kind of Halloween version of Cadbury Creme Eggs at a gas station a few days ago. I had to walk away very quickly.

Chocolate. I can't keep it in the house or I'll eat every last bit of it. Rolo McFlurry - sooo good. I treat myself to the snack size once in a while. Today might be one of those times. I've managed to cut out pretty much all fast food without a problem, but when Brad gets a Baconator from Wendy's, I have to take a bite.…

My pant size hasn't changed much, and I've lost almost 50 lbs since January. I've only gone down about a size and a half. Most of my weight has come off of my chest and waist, but hardly any from my butt and thighs.

You are amazing. Thank you for being so brave and posting these photos. Congratulations on all of your success - and your little one on the way!

Bumping so I can find this later. Looks delicious - thanks for posting!

^^^This. Also, today I'll stay on track because I have four kids who need me to be here and healthy.

Started at 350, right pic is around 240, currently at 233. I don't have much loose skin right now, but I still have a lot of weight to lose. My tummy is starting to get that "deflated" look, though, so I'm guessing it won't be as tight and toned as I'd like when I'm done, but like another poster said, I'd rather have loose…

You look amazing! Keep up the great work! 30DS definitely works. I always screw up by skipping it on weekends when my husband is home because his best friend is ALWAYS here and I'm not working out in front of them. I restarted this morning, though, and decided that they'll just have to go outside or leave for half an hour…

I love Five Guys so much. They have the only burgers I actually like. I've only eaten there twice this year, though, once being this past Saturday. It was DELICIOUS. Hubby and I decided to go there after a movie, so I checked the website to see how many calories I'd need. Ate light most of the day, squeezed in a quick…

Yes, and I'm thrilled. They look sooo much better. My biggest cup size was an H (maybe bigger, hard to find bras in those sizes) and I'm currently in a 38DD. My smallest size since high school.

The same thing happens to me whenever I work out harder or more often than usual. Your muscles tear, so they retain water to repair themselves. The water weight will come back off, just be patient. Stick with it, ignore the scale for a few days, check your measurements - you'll see the results.

My highest weight was around 350 lbs. I'm currently at 233.

That's my thinking, too. I'm more concerned with how I look and feel than the number on the scale. Also, you are gorgeous! :)

That's the exact response I got from my bestie, except the winking smiley was hers lol.

I love, love, love Zumba. It has completely transformed the way I look at exercise. I got the Wii game in February and have been doing it at least 3 times a week ever since. I took a big step a few weeks ago and started going to actual classes - I'm completely addicted. I use zumbacalories.com to figure out how much I burn…

I have a large frame. I'm 5'7" and my wrist is 7". I have broad shoulders, super wide hips and man calves lol. My before picture is from when I was around 350. As of today, I'm at 234.8 (and that's the first time I've ever posted my weight on here - big step for me). My Wii told me I need to be 140, but I think I'd look…
