I get really depressed looking at my old, "fat pictures"; remembering how unhappy I was is really upsetting. I also behaved differently and was extremely negative. I think we should focus on living in the present. Forget the past, don't look to the future. You're in the now, now is exciting! Now is when you're changing…

I still drink, I just include the alcohol into my calories for the day. I had four beers the night before my last weigh in and still lost 8 lbs (first week, the best week ;^). I normally only go out once a week, if that. I try to only drink once a week and if I go out with friends during a "sober day", I get diet soda. It…

Amazing! When I competed in my first triathlon I had lost 60lbs and still had 30 to lose. I ran a 12 min mile and had to stop in the middle of the lake for a breather! When I crossed that finish line (over 3 hours later) though, I was sobbing my heart out. So proud of myself. When I started my WLJ I could't run for more…

Exactly, "sometimes" you make that decision. That is yours to make!

I think it's a huge over reaction to get "pissed" because someone's diary is closed. I don't care either way.

http://www.withamymac.com/news/2010/02/22/best-sports-bras/ ^^^ That's a link to your savior ;^) I'm DD and a runner. They don't move AT ALL and it's super comfortable. I've been using mine 5 days/wk for two years and they're still holding strong!

Buy one or two things. It's important to feel good about yourself during this journey :^)

I plan out all my meals and shop weekly. I used to just do a big shopping trip once every few weeks, but that was when I was fat and all my food would rot before I got to it ;^)

Ah, shin splints, the bane of my existence. Shin splints is the muscle actually slowly DISCONNECTING from the tissue! Yark and holy crap it hurts. You need to soak in ice water for ten min or so. After a run, I walk into the freezing cold water in the (unheated from Nov-May) pool at my gym and just stand there 'till I…

I swear by Brooks, been running for two years and wouldn't use anything else. I suggest going to a store (like Fleet Feet) to get professionally fitted. Get inserts, do it right, you won't regret the money you'll spend and it's so important for the safety of your body to be in the right shoes.

I have three kids, so I understand playdates at fast food restaurant, especially around here where temps are already in the triple digits. I eat before I go and then order a HUGE diet coke. Don't harp. It's my 'downfall'. Anyway, I've lost 100 lbs with these habits, so it's worth a try.

Your sodium is off the charts. Eating way too much processed food. Remember, anything in a fast food restaurant was prepared and freeze-dried 3 months earlier. Also, you can never be sure the food is being prepared exactly to the specs that the caloric index tells you. They might be adding butter, salt, mayonnaise... If…

LOL! I just joined a few days ago, when I saw that diaries could be made public I was in lurker heaven! To be fair, I made mine public, too.
-
If I'm bored in the checkout line, yes. Honestly, I tend to numb out in public, I hardly notice anyone! My husband laughs because he'll ask if I saw the ______ in the hideous _______ or whatever, and I always say no.
-
I wouldn't rely on that. It's ok to mess up, just make sure you start over right away. If you start "flexing" your calories, you might start some unhealthy eating patterns.

I lost 100 lbs and still saw a fat girl in the mirror. I gained 25 back and now when I look at my pictures I cannot believe how amazing I looked! I vowed when I lose this 25 I will remember how ridiculous I was being and just be proud of my hard work. You're doing great! Store every compliment in your memory bank and…

My husband was the same way. I let it sabotage me a few times. Then one day, a couple years ago, I started losing weight. I didn't tell him about it or ask for support. A few weeks into it he was so inspired he started asking me to make his lunch and he never complained about what I made for dinner. I lost 100 lbs and he…

I harbor a guess that you wouldn't speak to someone with unabashed honesty. IRL, people who don't have a filter don't have friends. Stands to reason, OP wouldn't have make that announcement. OP: This IS the internet. People DO hide behind a screen and say whatever comes to mind. And you DO have a choice not to let them…

Pink and black, one of my favorite color combos :^)

Racing. And beer. And dancing. I ADORE: Reading And wine. And sunbathing. And my kids (sounds obnoxious, but I really am pretty obsessed with them).

I like my women strong and hairy. 5'-5'1" Strong woodsy smell. Able to hunt with her hands.

200. I'm 5'10" and an athlete. I look very lean/muscular/thin at 185.

Lame excuse. I have three kids. I started losing weight when my third child was 6 months old. 1.5 years later I had lost 100 lbs. I'm still eating healthy and dieting today. My kids are obsessed with healthy food and exercise because I am. That woman won't lose weight until she stops grasping for new excuses.

Every morning as soon as I get out of bed, it keeps me motivated all day. My official weigh in day is Saturday, that way I can't flub on the weekends.
