Awesome, awesome job! By the way...love your Angels ticker!

I use my clothes as motivation. When they are too big I sell them on ebay. Then I have Some money to contribute to new clothes. I am a shopper and I have lots of clothes....enough to wear something different every day of the year. I look for sales and shop at thrift stires. I have complete wardrobes in 4 sizes below where…

My brother got home from being away for 2 years when I was 15. My mom said " isn't she cute?". His reply was " yeah, but she needs to loose about 20 pounds. I was about 165 and 5'10". He was 175 and 6'4". Freakishly skinny at the time.....

Your post reminded me if a book I just read. New Rules of Lifting. He says something about when we have a lot of extra house work, yard work, whatever, that weight need to remember that it really is a workout in itself. You have the right priorities. You have done an amazing job! So wonderful for a SIL to help with his…

You ROCK! Keep it up! ★

They changed the points system because people were starving on the old points plan. MFP is so much better! First, it is free! Next, I never feel like I am starving using MFP. Finally, every resource is available through the message boards. When I did WW I felt like I was being taught how to eat fake foods. Weird recipes…

Don't you just love that kind of advice.....:). Your post made me smile...ESP the obviously drunk part! Keep it up and show him what you can do.

Awesome job! My heart goes out to you. I loved reading that you know that your son is in heaven watching over you. I am sure that he wants you to live the best life that you can. My family has gone through similar loss. We take comfort in knowing that families are forever and we can be with those brothers, sons and…

I have been having the same problem. The first 10 days back to MFP I GAINED weight! I had to start thinking...I had previously been sick and rapidly lost about 7 pounds so gaining 3 back was a victory because I didn't gain it all back. Now FINALLY I dropped those 3 and I am back down to where I started about three weeks…

Our bodies are designed to naturally remove toxins. We do not need to cleanse. If our diets have sufficient amounts of fiber and we drink lots of water then our bodies are naturally "cleansed".

Awesome job! Keep it up!

Ha! I do that every year. I loose 30 to 40 pounds over the summer only to gain it back during the school year. I teach first grade. As soon as it gets busy I stop exercising and start eating too much sugar. Hopefully this year will be different and I will continue to work out even after school starts....I have to now. I am…

I had the same problem this week. I worked hard only to gain 3 pounds. I figure it was the sodium in the two Asain dinners that I had the last two nights for dinner.. I am really just focusing on drinking lots of water this weekend and trying not to have any more high sodium Asian food for a few days. It WILL come off!…

Awesome job! Keep it up!

I am 50 and I have struggled most of my life... Your confessions ring true to me. I am guilty of at least half of the from time to time. When I got engaged I was 40 pounds heavier tham i wanted to be and never lost any of it because I couldn't say no to my then future mother in laws food. My husband tells me that he likes…

WOW! You look Fabulous! So inspiring... :)

GNCsells them and they are on sale sometimes. The strawberry cheesecake is the best. Even my 13 year old athlete likes to take them as a supplement when he has an extra long workout.

Good for you!

Pretty amazing! You look so much taller in the second photo! You rock! You definitely inspired me... I need lots of that. Thank you.

Levothyroxine and Synthroid are simply hormone replacement. Hashimotos Hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease. My body basically destroys my thyroid so I need to replace it. Iodine will not help me. The drugs your dr give you only replace what your body would naturally make and use. Thyroid controls everything in your…

Make sure you take your thyroid replacement medicine ( Synthroid, Levothyroxine...whatever it is) faithfully FIRST thing in the morning without food. Do not eat for thirty minutes after. Certain foods and minerals counteract the medicine so take it alone. I gained 100 pounds before I found out I had Hashimotos…

You look fabulous! Thanks for the post.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. This is what I needed to read on my first day back in a while. Keep it up!

You ROCK! You are defying both gravity And age! I hope to look as fabulous as you do when I am your age. :)

When you go to the doctor have them check your thyroid. An estimated 5% of all women have an autoimmune disease called Hashimotos hypothyroidism. I have it and when I was diagnosed I was 100 pounds overweight and could not loose no matter what I did. I started taking replacement medicine (synthroid) and quickly lost 50…

You ROCK! Way to take charge of your life at a young age.... Never quit!

You are just too cute! I have read your posts before and I just love them. You are doing what is best for you! You are also doing what the Lord wants for you too. Keep up the great work! You not only help yourself but others also.

Hi! I'm a teacher too and my scare is not the clothes. I am afraid of getting that kid in my class that will stress me to the max and that i will start eating junk again... I have an overstuffed closet full of clothes in all sizes that I will be as I go down...most we're purchased at Goodwill. I say the same THRIFT…

Yeah, well you are starting to look like the younger sister now! Great job!

AWESOMEResting HeartRate!! Years ago I was in excellent shape (funny how I thought I was so fat at 160 and 5'10"). And my resting heart rate was 55. That is one of my goals to get it down there again. keep up the great work. You are well on your way!
