Squeeee

Huge sucker for anything ranch-y. I'll have to try this!

Sounds amazing!

Bump :smile:

I'll work out a bit in the morning, then I'm going to FEAST.

I realized this morning that by this time last year, I would've already purchased and consumed at LEAST one bag of Halloween candy (sweets are one of my big weak spots). This year, halfway through the month, I haven't purchased a single one.

Just bought smaller jeans, realized I won't be able to wear them without a belt because they're just a liiiiiittle bit loose. :bigsmile:

Still wearing mine (though a few things look ridiculous 23 lbs down...:blushing:) Going to start picking through thrift shops for a better fit when I drop a few more pounds. I plan to donate/give away the more gently used items, throw out anything that's too ratty, and keep my favorite jeans (already falling off unless I…

I forced myself to work out today. I wasn't feeling it in the beginning, but I managed to pick up the pace halfway through and finish strong. :smile:

A tea bag. :frown: I think it's time to go shopping.

Oooh excellent!

Inspiring! :flowerforyou:

I have "only lost" 17 lbs, but... - I'm the smallest I've been in at least a year. - I can see my collar bones! - My clothes keep getting bigger and bigger (I figure I'm only a few pounds away from being able to comfortably fit into a size 14 pant, I'm a 16 now and I can pull some of my pants off without unbuttoning them).…

Great NSV! :laugh: I had to throw out about 1/3 of my panties because they were getting too big and I was tired of walking around with droopy undies! It's definitely one of the more amusing indicators of weight loss.

Time to invest in some weights. Great post!

Bump for when I'm lacking in inspiration and motivation. You rock! :happy:

Today I'll stay on track because I've been sorely lacking in motivation lately and I need to break through this slump before the semester starts back up. I'll also stay on track because I'm only four pounds away from a 20lb loss and I'd love to say that I managed to lose 20lbs this summer. In the same vein, I'm also…

Pretty much all seafood. I'm from New England and every time I tell someone that I hate lobster, they look at me like I'm crazy. Onions and green peppers. I'll eat things cooked with them, but I can't stand it when the whole dish tastes like green peppers. Eggs...with the exception of french toast, though if it's too…

I wore shorts in public for the first time in a few years. A few of my friends were complaining about how self-conscious they felt while I was just like "Eff-it! I'm almost 15lbs smaller than I was a couple of months ago. I'm wearing the damn shorts." I'm quite a bit larger than the majority of my friends, too. I'm gaining…

I love french fries AND green beans. Gotta try this!

I was able to snag a copy of 30DS at my local Goodwill for $0.99 - SCORE! :glasses: The results on here are fantastic! Truly inspiring.

Bump!

I have several pairs of undies that I can't wear anymore because they won't stay up :laugh:

Bump. Those look fantastic!

I was "chubby" for as far back as I remember. I started getting heavier through high school and steadily worse over the past few years. I was never teased and I had great friends, but still felt depressed and lonely and I hated my body (I was heavier than all of my friends and boys were never interested in me).…

Bumping for the laughs:laugh:

bumping for later

I'm under my goal for the day (still above 1200 calories) and I resisted eating extra "just because I could" at dinner because I knew I was full. :smile: I've always been a member of the "clean plate club" and I'm prone to over-eating, so it's great to finally begin to realize what "full" really feels like!

I'd just be tempted to send him a picture of my head pasted on a body builder's body saying "Oh no! You were right!! ...but seriously, thank you for your concern, but I'm doing what works for me. I encourage you to do some research because it seems that you've been misinformed." Or something along those lines...

Sounds wonderful! I love doing pizzas on pita, but it never occurred to me to try making a calzone.
