  • This. I know. I've been there probably a dozen and a half times. In fact, I would reason that most here have made the decision to do lose the weight and then fall right off the bandwagon moments after the gun goes off. Don't fret. This is a starting point. I think what helps, is just by surrounding yourself with those that…
  • Don't worry girl! They'll downsize, but they'll still be proportionate. Like you may have big'uns now, but you are also bigger... so when you go down in size, they will still look big. I get that the whole drooping thing is weighing you down now (no pun intended) so just stick with some light workouts in that area and you…
  • I get this way too!! And it's SOOOOOOOO HARD!! But honestly, this is what helped. Because I just friggin' love cookies... Ricecake, plain and unsalted... drizzle honey on it. That's all. It's like a big, sweet, delicious cookie. And, if you drink a glass of milk or whatever with it, it will help make you feel more…
  • My whole life I have never been fit, lean or skinny. I ride horses, and I played basketball in 5th grade and those are the extent of my physical activities as a young girl. I took gymnastics, tae kwon do and a couple of other things, but they were all for a short while. I guess the only thing I stuck with was horseback…
  • I'm 5'6.5" and I currently weigh in at 212 lbs. When I was in high school I was between 150-160 and a size 10. I'd really like to get down to 140 as my goal weight and see where I'm at with that in how it looks. I figure that around the 130-140 range, it will be more about body fat percentage and wanting to tone since I'll…
  • That is awesome!! On a similar topic, I am actually a little worried that once I lose the weight and reach my goal I will go into debt because of all the clothes shopping I'll be doing! Haha! hopefully I won't have time for it and just enjoy life outdoors and doing things. So I guess that thought keeps me motivated! lol
  • You couldn't possibly "look like that" just because someone your age is overweight or more wrinkly or less wrinkly or whatever. This is not a productive post... We all look so different. I'm sure you already know that, but this way of thinking just brings the other person down to make you feel a little better about…
  • I don't get the complaints about being complimented either. I understand if someone said "you'd be pretty IF..." and how that implies that you are not pretty right now. And for those dealing with these comments, I just want to remind you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people think Angelina Jolie is…
  • Yes, I will get off Facebook and do _______ right now! Thanks for reminding me for the 10th time!"
  • My horror story of losing weight before my wedding goes like this: I took kickboxing for 3 months before my wedding. I only went 1-2 times a week, but it was enough that I lost many inches (I can't remember off the top of my head exactly how many). Anyway, I had to get my size 16 wedding dress taken down to basically a…
  • I agree with this comment. I was going to wait until 2013, too... but when I talked with my husband he helped show me that it is, in fact just another way to prolong starting the rest of my healthier new life.
  • I'm in the same boat! Except... I am 26. I want to say "it happened so fast" but really, it didn't. I weighed about 150 in highschool (I am 5'6") and thought I was fat then. What I would do to have that body today!! I weight 210+/- and my size 16 pants are getting tighter every day (especially from all the Christmas…
