I've been wondering how well that DVD is. :) Congrats!! And good luck! I'd like to see the final results!!

I did very well Saturday. We had the Bowater family picnic. There are hotdogs, hamburgers, ice-cream, snow cones, cotton candy, candy apples, popcorn, soft drinks... Ugghhh!! Every year I have splurged. Everything there is free for the taking and I have ALWAYS loved it. This year, I packed strawberries, fat free cottage…

haha I am fairly broke too. Veggies are cheaper than fruit I think. But if when you shop you buy in bulk and break it up to portions, it lasts a lot longer. I used to break a huge package of chicken (like 9 boneless skinless breasts) up into like 3 sections. Now I break it into like 14. I am eating to proper portions, but…

Well said foreverloved... And I just want to add that you really don't want to lose it way too fast either. You're actually doing very well. So chin up! Losing weight is always a fight you take one pound at a time. :) G'luck!

I've always been taller than my friends and have always slouched. It's a really ugly look when I see someone else slouching- It just looks straight sloppy. I try to do better too and I'm interested in seeing the suggestions! Good luck!

Wow! I believe you have met your goals! Way to go!! :) You do look amazing!

:) I believe seeing any type of results will help motivate you! Congratulations!

I believe the placement of the tattoos and what they are makes a difference in whether they are hot or not. You like a tramp stamp... I have a tramp mural. HAHA I get lots of compliments on it. I also have a much smaller one on my left shoulder blade. Though I love the design, it is really a masculine spot for a tattoo I…

Wow- I am the exact opposite. I was always so thin. I quit smoking several years ago and packed on a lot of "comfy relationship" pounds along with the no nicotine pounds. In my mind, I was still thin. In my pictures, some fat chick has consumed me & is now my personal representative! When I try to buy clothes, she tries…

Oh God! Please don't shave it! :) Maybe trim it if it's just totally unruly and itchy. My ex-husband barely had hair on his chest. The first guy I dated after we split was a bear. I thought to myself, "Now this is the difference between a boy and a man" HAHAHA Seriously- I'm with Imsojen... we need a lot of pics... for…

Welcome to the site... and welcome to my world! Sure, I knew I was a big girl, but when my Dr described me as not just overweight, but obese, I choked a little. I've noticed this site makes you hold yourself accountable for anything that you stick between your teeth. It also makes you think twice about making poor…

That's pretty much all I drink as well. Just look at it this way- It's better than drinking a soft drink. :)

If you can actually drag your butt out of bed earlier than everyone else and exercise, it will boost you for the entire day. After doing it a few times, you'll look forward to getting up and going at it. You do always have to follow a specific exercise plan though... with 3 kids, I can think of PLENTY of "work-outs"…

We're glad you could make it! We've been waiting for you! hahaha Seriously, welcome and good luck! I'm an oldie that dropped out and started back yesterday. Let's do this!!

Way to go!!! :)

OMGoose! Where are you hiding in my house?? I swear you just recapped my life over the last week or two! I actually lost 25 lbs a couple of months ago via MFP but for some unknown reason decided I didn't need to continue here. I weighed myself this morning and logged it... now it says I've only lost 17 lbs. A minor setback…

It's ok! We all do it! I left the site about 2 months ago... was doing beautifully!! And for some reason, stopped checking in. I've almost put all of my weight back on! Now I am starting over. Ugghhh. I've had almost 2 months of "Godiva" binges. It sucks, but just know we're all here not just for you, but with you. It'll…

I love this site too! It has helped me so much. Lately I haven't logged my exercise or food intake, but I need to start again soon. Congrats on your progress!! I wish you all the best!

Way to go Laura! You're doing great!

How dare her!? hahaha That's hilarious! :)

:tongue: hahaha Wife won't let you date??

I am a smoker. I quit for almost 2 years (Nov 2007 - Oct 2009) and gained 40 lbs immediately. I dieted, I exercised, I even started playing on a soccer team and though we lost every game, I never lost a lb. I gave up and started smoking again. I gradually gained another 15 lbs over the last year. Though I have regrets for…

Welcome to the site & good luck! I can't give you tips on how to lose in the midsection... That is really the reason I checked this topic- hoping someone had a secret! haha I just started myself, but have lost 13 lbs in 8 days. I have made a change in my eating habits and have added in a little exercise. Nothing too…

No way! You've come too far to give up. Your body has probably adjusted to the "new" eating and exercise that helped you lose the first 20. Now you need to shake things up a little. The last time I lost weight, I lost 18 then hit a plateau. I thought I was done losing weight. Literally for a month, I maintained my weight-…

Congrats!! You look GREAT!:smile:
