Cute little camera, bro! :)

@ZR "Dollface" :)

Thanks for your support and sharing your own journey/story with me :) We're all here for the same reason, ultimately: to improve our lives through improving our health (mental and physical). It's amazing how our physical health and mental health are so very entwined. When you feel physically "crappy"...your mental attitude…

I like those !! Thanks for sharing! Here's another:

Excellent idea -- eat something before you go (about an hour or so). Moderation! Take only a LITTLE bit of the things that you would normally splurge on. If you deny yourself completely, you'll be frustrated and angry...and may say "screw it" and go overboard! If there is an appetizer/happy hour...skip it! Just go for the…

I can say things like "I stress eat." or "I wasn't active" or "I like pasta/potatoes too much." But really, what it comes down to is this.... I made too many excuses to not make the good and correct decisions about my health for too long But not anymore!

I actually got this in my fortune cookie one day during my weight loss challenge. Epic!

A piece of advice that I would offer to those who are having troubles and are frustrated with their weight loss: Look at how far you have come...not at how far you have to go! I never thought I would be within 8 pounds of reaching my goal of -65. But here I am!

@curvy: love it! For curvy: "Ginger" :)

@tiffers Love the stretching pants pic! It really goes to show how much progress you've made!

"Slick"

Metal and Club/Dance music. Quite the combination, I know. Tiesto David Guetta Oakenfold Daft Punk Timo Maas Lords of Acid In Flames Slayer All That Remains Meshuggah Clawfinger In This Moment Just to name a few in my mix.... :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksVLkZ-SN4M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtW4AFyLyM…

I sometimes eat before I workout.....but it has to be about an hour or so before I go, and it can't be much. Sometimes I will do 1/2 of a nutrition shake, or a nutrition cookie. Otherwise, if I have anything more or closer to when I start my program....I feel like I'm going to puke it all back up 1/2 way through! :O~…

Slow and steady wins the race! Personally, I believe that 1200 is *too few calories*. It also matters what you "spend" your calories on. I can eat 1200 calories of chocolate covered raisins in the blink of an eye :) But I can also make 1200 calories of good and healthy choices throughout the day. Higher protein Lower carb…

57.6 as of this morning :) Rocking it!!!

I was trying to answer the question someone else asked was how Vi can compete in the market, and I was just elaborating on how it has its place because it's not just protein, but has more overall nutritional benefits too. But since it seems I'm not welcome 'round here, and because my knowledge about strict protein powder…

Perhaps it's because it's designed for overall nutrition, not just muscle building... Checking out the stats on that ON Gold Standard Whey...the nutrition info just isn't geared to average, every-day people. Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin D Vitamin E Thiamin Niacin etc... None of those are in the ON shakes...they're basically…

Interesting to know, sara! Thanks for that info! Well, 180cal for 24g isn't too out of line then, if they average about 120.

Thanks mel :) It definitely looks better since I've gotten more definition in the arms! And John...man...you got some guns! Hoping that cutting down to 173 will bring mine out more! I've lost about 3/4" in my arms...but they actually look better because they aren't covered by FAT!! :)

Besides your eyes....Your hair looks sweet :) And to Be_Embrace: Check out those GUNS and flat abs, girl!!!

You've come to the right place :) MFP is a great place to keep yourself accountable and track all the stuff you intake :) It really has helped me to make better choices about the food I eat! You can do this. We can help!

A dream camera, eh? What are you thinking? A friend of mine is a pro photographer (Georgi Ruley at Studio Seven Oh Seven) and just her 1 camera (a canon something-or-other) is like $5k by itself...without the hongo-mongo lenses!! georgiruley.com is her site, if you're into artistic photography of the human nature. ** and…

In the bigger, more close up version, you can see some sweat...trust me :) I like to dabble in photography. http://themeandm.deviantart.com/gallery/

I used the timer on my Nikon camera...truth be told :)

Awesome job to you too, BFL, for reaching the 50 pound club!! :)

Finely trimmed facial hair...unlike yours truly! :)
