I came to the same realization last night. I never really noticed when I was PMSing before I started losing weight. Now I'm miserable and feel disgusting for a few days. I can also tell just by my measurements - my chest and tummy measurements always go up a little lol.

Same here. I'm sooo bloated. I told my husband I look pregnant lol.

Raisin Bran, Fiber One brownies and chocolate.

I've never had one of the regular V8 drinks, but I recently traded my beloved AMP for the V8 Pomegranate Blueberry +Energy drinks. They're a lot yummier than I expected them to be, and only 50 calories.

I can't wait til I can say that. Mine are still DD, but considering I was a G after I had my first son, it's definitely an improvement. My band size has gone down a lot, too, and I can actually find pretty bras that fit.

Congratulations on reaching your first mini-goal! You look fantastic! Keep up the great work!

I've always been chubby and I remember in elementary school when we'd all have to get our heights and weights done as a class. Everytime I got on the scale, the nurse would walk over and whisper it to the teacher writing everything down instead of announcing it like she did everyone else's. I guess that's when I started…

I'm really hoping that you meant to quote the poster above me.

I only tell my weight to my husband, my best friend and my mom (other than doctors, but that's not by choice). I hate telling people my weight because I still have a good bit to lose, but I also weigh more than I look like I should. I've had nurses re-weigh me because they thought the scale was just off. A couple have even…

Mine look better, too. My husband says this is the best they've ever looked (and he's been infatuated with my chest since high school so he would know lol).

I was worried about the same thing, so right now I only have tattoos in places that won't change much with my weight loss - wrists, ankle, shoulder blade, etc. I agree with using it as incentive. My tattoo on my right wrist was a reward to myself for losing 100 lbs. :)

I'm not complaining. Mine were ridiculously huge, so I'm pretty stoked that they've gone down in size.

My new favorite sweet tooth fix is White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter. I slice up a granny smith apple and dip it in the peanut butter... soooo good. Now I have to have some as soon as I finish my dinner. :)

What an inspiring story. Congratulations on all of your success - you look amazing! Good luck with the next big step. You've accomplished so much already and I'm sure you can't wait to add quitting smoking to that list. You can do it!

What a touching story. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. You both look absolutely amazing, and it's wonderful that you had each other through this journey. Congratulations to you both, and Happy (late) Anniversary!

If you're only concerned with the number on the scale dropping, diet. Seems like I lose less when I exercise more, due to water retention and building muscle.

They are AMAZING (and inexpensive, so double win). The whipped cream is great with coke (tastes like vanilla coke), orange soda (creamsicle!) and a ton of other stuff. Even delicious straight. I highly suggest trying it, calories be damned.

Forgive me MFP for I have sinned. Right now, I'm enjoying the hell out of some Chinese food, I'm having a KitKat later and the whipped cream vodka is calling my name.

I just bought two new pairs of shoes. They're soooo comfortable (and pretty!). They make me want to work out more, so I know they'll be very helpful when it comes to sticking to my exercise routine. Next on my list is a FitBit or HRM. :)

Agree, on both counts. OP, you're gorgeous and I'm very happy that you've finally realized that. Hug your man. He sounds pretty awesome, too.

I know this wasn't to me, but I had to respond anyway. I went to two shows on their Diamond Eyes tour and I'm dying to see them live again. Chino is amazing. When I saw them play in Atlanta, they did Passenger with the lead singer from The Dillinger Escape Plan. He's no Maynard, but oh my god, it was incredible. Well worth…

So jealous. I need to see Trent Reznor live. First: Papa Roach/(hed)PE/Taproot when I was 16 Last two shows: DEFTONES and they were amazing. I'm going to marry Chino one day. <3

Wow, amazing job!!! You're adorable! :)

Watching Scrubs, making a tutu and getting nervous about the boot camp class I'm doing tomorrow. What an exciting Friday night.

Yes.

"The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars. Gets me moving everytime. Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Glee cast - most upbeat pop songs make me want to move, so I use them on walks or on the elliptical. Deftones when I do 30DS. Makes it easier for me to power through it.

Your story is so heartfelt and inspiring. It almost had me in tears. You were a beautiful woman to begin with, but you're absolutely radiant now. One of my favorite parts of these success stories is seeing how much happier everyone looks in their after pics. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, and congratulations…

I have five. 1 - Black and pink star on the back of my neck. Started with something small to pop my tattoo cherry lol. 2 - Cherry blossom branch wrapping around my left wrist. Love love love it so much. It looks like a watercolor painting and the detail is amazing. I want to add on to it eventually. 3 - Wrist piece…

I sent him a request. It's nice of you to help him get started. :)

That's one of the best feelings! Great job!!!
