My NSV was doing lunges! I hate them so much and only do them when my trainer forces me. I always skip them when I work out alone, but today I did 50! That might not sound like a lot to some of you, but it's a pretty big deal to me. I wanted to stop after 15!

Wow. They look fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

You look fantastic. Look at those arms! Way to go.

Buck up, kid! You have 6 pages of posts from people that don't know you (in less than 24 hours) and most of those posts are saying that we've all been there. This is hard! It's hard being fat, it's hard losing fat, it's hard being skinny fat, and it's hard being mentally fat! But it will be okay. No lectures, but a…

I don't know what your "triggers"/unhealthy habits are (emotional eating, desk job, fast food, love of tv, binge eating, reward eating). I think I have all the ones I just listed! It can be very difficult when it's a mind battle. This may not work for everyone, but I try to have a conversation with myself before I eat…

This is my favorite thread ever! Everyone is so motivating! Thank you all for sharing!

You look fantastic! Yay for a jean victory! You should go ahead and treat yourself to some new cute shoes too...You deserve it!

Oh that double chin is always the worst! I hate mine. Congrats on losing it! :)

You have had amazing success! Way to go! To answer your "tips" question...I'd hire a personal trainer. I work out at the YMCA and hired a trainer there. Much more affordable. And really, after 3 or 4 sessions you get a very good routine going for your workouts. I still see my trainer once a week because she makes me do…

Congratulations! You look so good! Way to go!

You look awesome! And, I have that dress. It's super cute, especially on you!

You look so great! Way to go. I'm currently having one of those "flat on your face" moments and am trying so hard to get myself out of it. Your progress post is definitely helping. Thanks for sharing!

You've made such great progress. You've lost an entire person! Way to go!

So awesome. Way to go!

Awesome! You look fantastic!

Shark week!

I used to have that list, you know the one....funny, smart, ambitious, handsome, blah blah blah. All that is still good, but I've realized the two most important things are a man that has hobbies(aside from drinking/partying/being social), and values me. A man with hobbies is usually content with himself, isn't needy, and…

Seriously, what is five guys!?! Every person responds differently and needs certain types of encouragement. I agree with you though for the most part. I'm scared that people will totally judge me on my splurges. This week, has been one of the worst since I started MFP and I just have a feeling everyone on my friends list…

You look terrific! And look at those skinny legs! Way to go!

I saw your post earlier, wanted to respond, but didn't have much to offer. I struggle too, but have tried to just go to the gym when I have those urges to binge. It helps. Especially when I get home from the gym, I know how hard I worked to burn just 300 calories and it makes me only want to have clean, healthy foods in my…

That is fantastic. Congratulations!

The last guy I dated (for a year) ended things by saying "I'm incapable of having any feelings for anyone...ever." Uhm. Sure. The truth? He was terrified of getting hurt so he pushed everyone he cared about away. Awesome!

Wow! Great results!

This is exactly what I needed to read today! Congratulations. You worked hard and did something that so many people are struggling to do. I hope that you're beaming and completely proud of yourself!

How exciting for you! Congratulations!

Girl you look fantastic!

Way to go!

Looking good! Way to go!

Woo! You did good girl! Hook 'em \m/

I'm adding all of you! It's so nice to come across a thread full of people who are facing/have faced the same challenges! Keep up the great work ladies!
