I skipped breakfast thinking it would cut down on my calories for the day. If I did eat breakfast it was a sausage McMuffin from McDonalads. I also got the high calorie coffees with lots of sugar and of course the largest size. Then at lunch I'd pig out, burgers, the big fries, pop. Dinner was pizza or Mac and Cheese the…

I feel the same way. I can spend all kinds of time on here and maybe a few minutes over there. This brings me such joy and inspiration!

You look so awesome, good for you!

I am a Grandma too, not really a young one either I'm 52 and am living proof you can still lose weight. I have thyroid issues and at times hit plateaus. In fact just coming out of a month long one...I had a lot to lose and still do but I can do this. I watch salt and drink lots of water. I started in July last year and…

Like everyone else... Skinny Cows.... Yummy!

That's what I do for local places that aren't chains. I just try and use my best guess and like you leave some calories on the table for a cushion.

You look AMAZING!!!

Not crazy I think about that all the time. I have lost a lot already and have areas that are pretty saggy but I'm not going to quit. I am getting facials to help firm my face and neck. Other areas I will worry about when I get where I'm going. I had a lot to lose and I'm not young anymore so things don't bounce back like…

Thanks! :) It feels so awesome. I want more gone. I've been on a 4 week plateau...Ugh! It will end just got to stick with it and never give up!

I have lost 130 lbs in 11 months. But I still have a long ways to go so it came off pretty fast at the beginning. But anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Make sure to add exercise in as well. Good luck on your journey! :happy:

My SO of 7 years left me after I lost 115 lbs. We had other issues but I think he was afraid I would leave him so he beat me to it. I know we had issue to work out but I find it strange that he would wait till I lost this much to leave. He said that I was getting stronger and that he needed to work on himself. I was very…

I think mine is a Taylor. It's digital and compares to my Doctors office. I had a Health-O-Meter I could cheat on so I got rid of it. I can't cheat on this one. It was only like $25.00.

Good Luck to you and so glad you got a second chance. I didn't have a heart attack but I was headed for one if I didn't change. I know people say this all the time but if I can do this, anyone can. Have stuggled with weight all my life. I will beat it this time!

Cake... But I've only had two pieces in the last year...

Way cool! that is so amazing. I only have a few things left from when I was at my biggest. I should try that with my pants too! :)

Sometimes I walk past a mirror and have to do a double take, I don't think its me! I hate looking at my before pictures but I do it so I wont ever go back there again!

I love this because it's so true. It HAS to be about me, for me to do this...period!!! My 7 year relationship ended because he said I don't need him anymore. Funny thing is I never needed him..I wanted him in my life and to share this. So now I will someday meet someone who wants me in their life.

Way to go, that is so awesome! I was able to do the same thing and had clothes I had bought but could never wear because they were to small. Most still had the tags on them. I too had some that I missed the chance to wear them because they were to big when I remembered I had them. I have lost so much now that I am out of…

For me yes this is true. When i first started It took like 30 pounds or more to drop a size. Now I am dropping them at a faster pace, like 20 pounds. I'm sure as I get cloer to my goal it will be even less pounds.

I have a couple of pair. I don't know if they are helping shape my legs or not because I also do the elliptical all the time and I think that is helping more. They are comfortable after you get used to them. Balance at the beginning is a problem. I do feel it in my legs more when I walk in them than regular fitness shoes.…

Too Funny... I watch the best breakfast places this morning before going to the gym...One of the places he visit is about a 60 minute drive from me. ....Never been there though. I think I would get sick eating that stuff now. I watch Top Chef too... I can't eat that stuff I just look at it! :smile:

I have lost just counting Calories on here and logging exercise. I wanted to HRM but really don't need it right now. I started in July 2010.

I started this at the end of July and have lost 126 lbs in 10 months. I was talking to my Dad and he asked me how much I had lost now. I told him and he said...Slowing down huh!....I was like..Really?? I thought 126 in 10 months was pretty good. Of course its not going to always come off fast but Dang!!! What do I have to…

You can add me.. I am very serious about this and still have 108 lbs to lose...
