wow, you look INCREDIBLE!!! Thanks for the motivation, just what I needed today!!

wow, amazing job!! you look so much younger now too!

you look amazing, great job! btw, where did you get your progress chart?

I'm 5'9" and had a 5'5" boyfriend before I met my husband... I loved it, I always felt like a total supermodel being the taller one :) Hubby now is maybe 2 inches taller but I still get to tower over him when I wear heels. Short men are just as hot as tall men IMO. If you're attracted to each other who cares, give him a…

Wow, thanks for this. I loved reading your story and your philosophy on weight loss is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I totally agree with listening to your body and I've been trying to do that more, instead of just trying to eat a certain number of calories. You are truly an inspiration!

1. How long did you plan? 18 months 2. How much did you spend? (sorry if that's personal) Was this more/less than you planned? 15k & we did go over about 25% 3. How many people were invited/ how many showed up? 50 invited/about 45 showed 4. What did you give out for favors (if you had them)? candy apples with personalized…

to be spoiled & treated like an absolute princess! Make the WHOLE DAY awesome (or weekend if you can), breakfast in bed, romantic getaway, plan something special & for the gift, get something thoughtful that she actually wants!

Looks yummy, but does the tortilla get crispy?? I've heard of this idea before but just imagine it being all floppy for some reason!

You look incredible, congrats!!! This is so encouraging to me since you are my height & about the same start & goal weight! Curious - how many calories did you eat on average and how long did it take you?

bubbly :)

-smart pop popcorn (15 cals per cup) -Veggie Straws (about 38 for 130 cals) or Natural Cheetos (around the same serv. size & nutrition) -laughing cow cheese wedge (35 cals) and whole wheat crackers (find some that are around 10 cals each) -fresh berries and fat free cottage cheese or plain greek yogurt -sugar free jello…

what a difference, so amazing! You continue to inspire me!!

Those are on my list too! Not sure how the boobs/tummy will look after gaining & losing 100lbs and all the yo-yoing in between (the idea scares me!) but I will absolutely get them done if needed. No way am I doing all this work and not looking good naked at the end of it all! Bikini bod in Hawaii or another amazing…

I have chondromalacia in both knees (knee caps are waaaay off track!) and recently started physical therapy. Using KT pro tape to tape them up before workouts & ice after has been a huuuge help! I've also been drinking Joint Juice & taking fish oil, not sure if that's actually doing anything or not though!

you look SO amazing!!!! congrats!!!

that must have felt amazing! you look great, congrats!!

OK serious post! It's not just yoga pants, it's stretchy clothes in general... even most JEANS have like 5-10% lycra and they stretch out over time. I actually attribute my initial weight gain denial to this. My work pants all had a little stretch, my tops too and don't get me started on the skirts. There are a lot of…

I love Captain and Diet Coke. Mount Gay Rum is even better, more vanilla-y... with one shot & diet they end up about 80 calories. Light beers... I love Light Coronas, only 99 cals each. Wine is also a good choice since it's pretty low cal compared to most mixed drinks.

We need more details. Have you given him a reason to monitor what you do? Do you have a track record of cheating or engaging in inappropriate behavior on or offline? If not, then I don't think his behavior makes sense. Either way, you need to talk to him about if it makes you uncomfortable.

Yup, soooo gross! I can't do it! Everyone thinks thats SO weird, especially with something like ribs (which I finally just got pressured into trying this year) not a fan. what else... dark chocolate refried beans, pinto beans (I ONLY like black beans with tex mex foods, idk why) shrimp, scallops, lobster, the texture just…

sending you a request. I'm a former vegetarian but seriously considering going back soon, would love to check out your diary for ideas! :)

looking great, congrats!

congrats and WOW- 134lb loss in 6.5 months?! Please tell us how you did this!

almost forgot, congrats on your weight loss!!! :)

great post! I love this. #1 is pretty depressing though... does this imply in a roundabout way that the "eat more to weigh less" thing that's so big around here won't really work for people that are obsese/morbidly obese? That is what I am suspecting. I know I don't get good results unless I eat like a bird so it wouldn't…

amazing job, congrats!!! that is my start weight & goal weight, can't wait til I have similar pics to share!

You are so amazing<3 So happy for you!!!

thanks for tip! Sorry to hear it didn't work out long term. I've been reading reviews of the drug/procedure on webMD and I'm debating putting this off until I see how my knees respond to the physical therapy... guess I will talk to my dr again first.

No, I think the effects are supposed to last 6 months of so, but it's supposed to lubricate my knee caps to reduce the damage done until the effects of PT come in. The whole plan that was prescribed is physical therapy - 3x a wk to start off with, custom knee braces that I've been instructed to wear while working out that…

I have the same problem, the lady bits get especially sore :( glad it's not just me! getting ready to try out seat #3!
