Awesome job! Such an amazing motivational force!

Black. Not a coffee fan so whenever I do drink it, it's only for the caffeine; not the taste.

I'm 5'8" and weigh 199 in my current pics. 180 is my goal and then after that focusing on aesthetic goals no matter what the weight ends up being.

This is funny cause I'm kinda in the same situation except my situation is that neither are my friends - they're pure romantic interests, and we're a decade older than you and your guys. I don't need advice cause I've been there, done that. I'm dating them both, being completely honest with them, and if feelings develop…

Thank you all for the sweet responses and kind personal messages! :heart:

Don't remind me....

Oh trust me. Once I get my couple bottles of wine in...uhh I mean....bottles of sparkling water...I'll hit that quite nicely. Last year I watched my intake. This year, IDGAF cause I prepared over the past couple of weeks with my calories and will still be under my goal cals for the week. Helloooo wine...water! I meant…

I'm having pot roast with potatoes, carrots, and green peppers.

I lost 68 pounds from 2011 to 2012. I gained almost half of it back over the next year. Looked at the number on the scale one day, got pissed/disappointed in myself, and now I'm at a 74 pound loss. If I could get back on the band wagon again, so can you!

Marry me.:flowerforyou:

I'm 5'8". Don't know how much I weigh currently since I rarely get on a scale, but the last time I was around 205-210ish a few weeks ago. 38 bust 30 waist 43 hips I wear a size 12 dress, but they're getting loose so I'm close to saying hello to a size 10 dress! Woot! :-)

190 (socrates) Whomever guesses mine, please go by my after on the right.

Can you post the recipe for that Chris? I really want to make that. It looks and sounds amazing.

Thank you. :-D

lol@restricting him to red meat once a week. And lol @ not having your "good genes". Troll harder please.

Take measurements. That's how you'll know you didn't gain fat.

You look amazing and cute dress!

If they don't carry larger than a size 12 then make it one of your goals to start fitting into their size range. Not everything in life needs to be blown up as a big deal. In college I could never fit Forever 21 or Wet Seal clothing. Now I can and it was one of the most happiest moments in my life that I cried in front of…

Look I wanna be a strawberry shape cause I love strawberries! Now you will tell me how many inches I need to lose off my hips and thighs and how many strawberries a day I have to eat to get there, pronto!!!:explode:

You look great, but no you're not hourglass and you do not have wide hips. They're narrow and lovely. You have a great shape and a beautiful body. Who cares what shape it is as long as you're "in shape"? And you are!:flowerforyou:

Omggggg. Two words: mouth orgasm. No seriously, this was amazing! My roommate's mouth was watering when she smelled this; obviously I had to offer her some. LOL I added 1.5 tablespoons of natural PB and some raisins and it completed this simple masterpiece. Thank you soooo much OP! Nomnomnom!

Congrats on reaching your goal OP (seeing as how this thread was started in February) but I won't eat anything special when I reach goal. I eat what I want already. As a matter of fact I don't have anything special planned out for when I reach goal, since I'm the type to do, get, or buy whatever I want when I want it, but…

It's a tie between the hair and lips.

Need this thread in "My Topics". :)

Firstly, AMAZING progress. You look fantastic! Secondly, I'm not one to assume someone is insecure when complaining about someone else's habits, but after reading your post I have come to that conclusion. Honestly, it just sounds like incompatibility. I mean, she lost 90 pounds yet she has a problem with you going to the…

I thought the same thing. I mean, to each their own, but the ones going on about "is this the 50's!!??!!? SHOCK HORROR!" are not very open minded themselves. Live and let live. I'm all about traditionalism and gender roles. My best friend is the opposite. Neither of us disparage each others' choice though. If OP wants to…

You're still early in your progress, but as long as you stick with it, I can assure you that you'll have more self control. When I first began a couple of years ago, I needed all low fat, low cal, light this and that in order to stay on track. I eventually got to the point where I can accept the higher calorie food offered…
