I've taken one or two week breaks a few times. It's fun, but a lot harder to just get back into eating healthy afterwards. The water weight and small gains will set you back a bit too, so be warned :P

I work at Wendy's and was worried about the same thing when I got hired back in November. With the staff discount sometimes its just way smarter to buy lunch than bring one with me. I plan in the morning before work what I am going to have, and enter into mfp so I know many calories it's going to cost me. I usually stick…

Hmm well I always eat right up until I go to sleep! As you can see from my ticker, it hasn't stopped me :P

5' 4.5", 144lbs, size 6-8 depending on the brand :)

Sound's awesome! Have to try

Me! I'm from Yarmouth :)

I've lost 50lbs since having Mirena in January 2012. At first I found cravings were worse, but not anymore. I eat around 1400 calories, and make sure to weigh and measure everything.

About 10 months ago I couldn't get an interview anywhere in my small hometown after submitting tons of applications. This week I had two interviews and was offered a job on the spot today. I 100% believe this is as a result of being more confident and looking a million times more presentable :) Can't wait till I'm actually…

I didn't have any candy until after Halloween, when I went and bought it cheap! But I consider it a victory that I now have the will power to only eat however many pieces I plan for the day :)

Feeling so disproportionate! My legs and hips are right small but my waist is being stubborn, so pants that fit my waist are incredibly baggy on my legs and butt. Can't wait to even out a bit, haha!

So pretty! Great job :)

I have one! The other day I went to brush my teeth and noticed my toothbrush was wet. I asked my brother if he had accidentally used mine and his response was, "Oh, I couldn't remember which one was mine, so I've been using them both." Gag!

I used to be so confused as to why the seams down the sides of my shirts we'rent lining up properly (not going straight down the sides). Now they do! Also, my shirts are growing longer :)

This is awesome! Great job :)

I did, but I was so embarrassed that I really only got my face. Now I really wish I had taken a full body shot for comparison!

Crackers (Wheat Thins, Pop Chips etc), I always take one more than the serving size, and don't account for it!

Being able to fit back into all my old clothes that I haven't worn in as much as 4 years for some of them. Also, fitting into some jeans that my sister gave me and realizing they are the smallest size I have ever worn for pants :D Funny thing is, I'm still 15lbs up from my lowest adult weight!

I've lost all the weight on my ticker since having Mirena put in :) The only effects I had noticed in the very beginning were more food cravings and more bloating, but it hasn't kept me from losing at all!

I've noticed there is a lot on clearance on the Old Navy website, no idea about their quality though!

I'm from Nova Scotia and my fiance is from Massachusetts (we basically live just across the water from eachother), so when I've gone to visit I've heard "Do you use British currency there?" "Do you drive on the other side of the road?" "Is it snowing there now?" "Is there really just one road in Canada" I am also…

I am a complete moron when it comes to style, hair and make-up, haha, good suggestions!

Try not to focus on how far you have to go, that's just discouraging. Try and take it one day at a time, and really celebrate the little changes. Time goes by really fast, and in six months you'll be so happy you started now :)

Well, after the first 20lbs I think I went down one pant size, but then I had lost 5lbs, stalled for a few weeks and dropped another pant size mid stall, and I've dropped yet another size since losing 5 again. But I seem to be losing insanely fast from my hips and not so much from my waist...so its incredibly sporadic!

I definitely felt way more self conscious for the first little while. I had really let myself go, and facing that was really difficult. Eventually though that started to go away and my confidence is constantly building :) Have you been taking progress pictures? Its a lot easier to see the difference in photographs than in…

Awesome progress! I know I was a little sad to part with my favorite pants a couple months ago, very bittersweet :)

I really didn't have a good excuse :P I ate more and moved less, and kept telling myself that it wasn't my fault, and that it would change when life events changed. So after 50lbs of this I had to just take responsibility for it or keep on gaining!

This past January, seeing 200lbs was when I finally woke up to the realization that although this past year had been incredibly sucky, I wasn't doing myself any favors by letting myself go so bad. I knew that if things kept going as they were, I was going to have an incredibly hard time getting a job and paying off student…

My fiance and I went to the same college and dated for a year before we had to do long distance, but right now we've been long distance for about a year with only a few visits in between (he lives in the states and I live in Canada). It was devastating at first but eventually it got easier. We skype every night that we…

I got some great workout clothes for cheap at Marshalls :)

Also, I have no idea about the VO2 Max, I just left that blank.
