When I got out of the shower this morning I realized the towel was wrapping around - no gaps! Grinning like an idiot!

Out of the "morbidly obese" category into "obese". Im so excited to be "overweight", lol :)

So haven't seen any movement in the scale for about 6 weeks, was getting frustrated. I was still noticing a difference in how my clothes fit, having a little more energy now I have added some exercise but was still disappointed and doubting if I was making any progress. Well, yesterday my NSV was going through a fence! You…

You guys are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Luv this thread! Just what I needed this morning. I was struggling the last couple of weeks and have "started" many times over the years, but have been diligent since January. Thank you for this! I know I have lost weight because I can give myself a pedicure without squishing my belly and being completely out of breath; I…

Wow! Everyone is such an inspiration, just what I needed to see this morning. I've started and failed more times than I can count, but have been diligent the last three months and I see a difference in how my clothes fit. I don't actually see a difference in me, but seeing these before and afters sure give you the…

If you look on the Old Dutch Popcorn Twists Bag there is the most delicious recipe for caramel popcorn twists - DISCLAIMER!! They are quite addictive and very, very not good for you!!!lol Caramel Popcorn Twists Ingredients: 1/2 lb butter 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup corn syrup 1 tsp vanilla I tsp baking soda 1- 175 g bag of…

Kudos to you my dear. You've managed to get past something some of us never will, far more important than a number on a scale. Mind you, that is a lovely bonus! You look fabulous! Thank you for posting. I'm sure you will be bombarded with responses, but if you have a moment, what is the couch to 5K? Is there a link? Thank…

Quick and easy, just saute it with a little butter and pepper to taste in frypan. Great side dish. Just make sure you measure that butter! If you have more time make lazy cabbage roll casserole :smile:

Woo Hoo! I'm 5'7 too - Can't wait til I'm at your starting weight lol! You look fab!

OP - If you are just starting your weight loss journey, have a significant amount to lose, and you are drinking a lot of water as well as making healthier choices, you are probably going to lose a good amount of weight in the next week and a half. That is normal and the majority of people on this site have done exactly the…

When I make my oatmeal I mix the egg whites with the water and oats and nuke it. You can barely tell they are mixed in and I top it with berries or splenda - 2 minutes and done! Edit - I should clarify - I'm a lifter wannabee........I just like oats & egg whites :smile:

Brilliant!

Fabulous! It's not even 6:30 a.m. and all I'm thinking about is food! lol Thanks for some great ideas!

Oatmeal cooked with egg whites and topped with raspberries/blueberries or protein pancakes :smile:

Don't underestimate yourself! You are doing perfect - averages out to more than a pound a week! Slow and steady wins the race! Kudos!

That's all fine and good but I can barely eat 1200 calories a day, by your numbers I should be eating like 1600-1700 - can't do it.................bwahahahahaha - just kidding! Thank you for re-posting this Dan and I hope with the additional information and explanations that some people will get it. I personally really…

1 lb loss for the week is perfect! Kudos! Trust me, I get the I want to lose weight and fast feeling, but been there, done that, and it doesn't last. You have done great. Try changing up your ticker to reflect a goal for just the next month or two instead of the full amount. The scale is a good tool as long as you remember…

Please correct me if I am wrong, but the debate isn't over whether you will lose weight eating 1200 calories. It is whether or not it is sustainable in the long run and whether it is the healthiest choice for some. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, some people say that once you get to your goal weight, you will start to gain…

I love my husband, I love my husband, I love my husband.......but they're soooooo pretty!

Brilliant!

Brilliant! You are an inspiration and a wonderful example to your beautiful little girl! BTW, just my opinion, you are rockin' the clean shaven look!:blushing:

You do the Dance of Joy of course! http://youtu.be/GfPg5LjGYz8 Sorry, I don't know how to post a cool video, just the link :sad:

Just because a "Dr" mentioned it doesn't mean a thing, I doubt very much he/she himself has actually done it. There are good doctors and bad. You are getting a lot of good, sound advice from people who have actually tried it and from people who know better than to even go there. If you have the "I'm going to do it anyway…
