My condolences to you. Thank you for sharing this post. I'm emailing it to my husband right now because he matches your friend's stature exactly. Hopefully your post can cause a ripple effect that will encourage him even more to continue with the tough beginnings and making healthier choices a habit. It certainly is…

Incredible transformation! You've done so well! I have 100+ lbs to lose and your story is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing!!

WTG! You look fantastic!

I second!! LOVE them! My fav Bolthouse Farms is a toss up between their Caesar Parmigiano and Raspberry Olive Oil Vinaigrette. I coat chicken tenderloins in the honey mustard dressing before breading with panko to make my son's chicken fingers...he loves it!

Dania Beach in the house...I mean the thread! :laugh:

I'm so late in reading your post! I'm so sorry. I understand how you feel about your middle son. You want to do right by him and it hurts to say no, but it is a must. I've been watching Biggest Loser and now they have "kid ambassadors." My heart ached for each of them because I was in the same situation. I've never known…

Hey! Sorry I always seem to disappear on the weekends. I'm going at it hard today. Last night I broke down and cried in my husband's arms because I was afraid for both of us. I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to live a life rather than just exist. I cried so hard my head hurt. I awoke this morning with such focus and…

Thanks! I just read it and I'm very interested in changin my settings to this. I've got to this at home tonight so that I'm not distracted. I'll let you know if I encounter any issues. Thanks again!

I'll take a 500 calorie meal that includes a biscuit and gravy! Lol, way to go. Enjoy the things you love, but with moderation. :) Yes, I'm interested, let me know. I manually entered the max calories for my day. I'm know that my body needs way more because when I entered food and was way above goal, the "5 weeks scenario"…

My God, what an amazing story of inspiration! Congratulations on everything you've done. What you said about being selfish really resonated with me. You're absolutely right, living an unhealthy life was robbing years of time with you from your daughter. That makes total sense. Thanks for that. I will certainly use it as…

The week is starting off ok. Not fantastic, but ok. I got totally distracted by Downton Abbey, I'm obssessed with that show. So, I can totaly understand. I mean clothes were left unfolded. I didn't even cook. I just heated up freezer food just so I can stick to the tv...awful, I know! I even forgot to make lunch for today…

That's a great idea Kendra! I wish I read this before the weekend, because I would've been proud to send you a pic of my weigh-in from this morning!! PM me your email address so I can do the same next Mon morning. I think it's a great way to stay accountable. You're so right...it really does help if someone can see what…

Thanks Kendra!! I'm in marital bliss! :) My plan fell apart the moment I didn't get a chance to eat a real breakfast today. Come lunch time I was over at the deli in my building, buying a philly cheese steak sub. I had that along with parmesan-garlic fries. Boo...However! I've still got a chance to redeem myself! I'm still…

Well said Kendra!
-
WOW!! Well done! You look absolutely fantastic! :) I can't wait to do an after pic with both my legs in one leg of "fat pants."
-
Go ahead girl! You look fantastic...LOVING the suit pic. :)

Remarkable story and progress! Thank you so much for sharing. It's really motivating to see posts like these. :)

Wow, congrats! Awesome job! :smile:

I've got my paddle to start rowing because we're in the same boat!! Your story is almost identical to mine. I compensated for my obesity with being an overachiever too. Never knew how it was like to be of a normal size. I'm sending a friend request so we can buddy up and encourage each other. It is possible, you saw it…

Bump!! I love breakfast burritos and these are great recipes. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for posting your pics and tips!!! The side view nearly knocked me out of my chair! Congrats on your success and thank you for continuing to be a source of motivation for MFP. :smile:

I'm doing a 12 week weight training plan that a friend told me about: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/womans_lean_sexy_bible.htm It gives you the breakdown on how us women should be training with free weights, the benefits that occur in your body as a result, and how to perform each move. It's been great for me so far!

I know what you mean! Some days, unfortunately, you have to go pre-packaged. What kind of pre-packaged foods do you have in mind? Soups? Breads? Amy's Organic has a great line of lower-sodium soups. As far as breads go, look for the frozen Ezekial (sp?) bread. I haven't tried it, because I can't let go of my sandwich…

Thank you for starting this post! And for the tall beauties responding. I really needed to see that. I've never been a "normal" weight my entire life. I'm 5'9 and my biggest was 345 and let me tell you, it was back breaking! I'm almost out of the 300s for good and seeing how you ladies look at different weights gives me a…

That's incredible!! I'm trying to motivate my bf to do this with me, but it has been difficult. I'm hoping when I show him your post that he will be motivated. Great job and thank you for being an inspiration! :-)

Random, but....I toally heard Beyonce's song in my head when I first read your post, LOL! :laugh:

Wow, thank you everyone for the adds and the encouraging words! I'm feeling a little more motiviated as I type! :-)
