WOW. I am so surprised no one has mentioned Waffle Crisp. So, so, so waffle-y and delicious. Also, in the Mid-West in the 90's we would get Oops Berries--Cap'n Crunch with just the berries. Guaranteed to tear your mouth up good. So worth it, though. These are both cereals that to my knowledge are no longer made. Sad,…

I have decided to not care temporarily, buy clothes only from clearance, and start saving for a HUUUUUUUUGE shopping spree when I reach my goal. That way the transformation is even more dramatic!!

You are amazingly beautiful! And I love your saris. Keep going!

Non-scale victory! Also, well done!

I've had many little kids straight up tell me I'm really fat, I just chuckle and tell them it's rude to comment about someone's appearance, whether it's true or not! Kids are like sociopaths, they have to learn empathy and social skills. A kid, whether they are yours or someone else's, should be corrected. Then again, I've…

Trying (but failing) to do my c25k run this morning in spite of my cramps. I only made it about halfway before I HAD to stop, but I tried.

This is my goal as well! You are amazing.

In terms of music that keeps you moving, Robyn is one of my all time favorites. She is a Swedish pop star and her music is GREAT, and I generally don't enjoy pop. Easy to sing along to, great beats, and she has like, four albums so lots of material. Here is my favorite song by her: http://youtu.be/Nv644ipg2Ss P.S. I LOVE…

HUGE difference in your face alone. You look so much younger already! Good job!

I've only been doing this for a month so nothing too crazy...yet. I consider this is a binge eat: I ate my dinner and was full. My husband came home with a salad and breadstick for himself, plus one for me. The breadsticks are enormous, about 18 inches long. I ate the whole thing and felt HORRIBLE afterwards. I consider it…

My sister in law does bikram three days a week, and she is hardcore. I would say if you are a yoga beginner to learn the basics before taking the plunge.

An amazing transformation. Great job!

I totally agree with this. If you love pizza, try baking it yourself so you can control the content, pick lighter toppings, make a small pizza so you don't pig out, just eat what you need. I myself am a bit of a picky eater, and there is a big long list of veggies I have a hard time eating, so I just don't eat them, and…

I live in SE Portland, it is my most favorite place in the entire world :P

I need to lose at least 115. Add me!

I would have to say that there are no healthy options at the movies. You could split a small popcorn with your girls, and bring a big water so you don't fill up on just popcorn. Or smuggle in some veggies!!

Try starting with a couch to 5k, it starts off nice and slow so you don't get discouraged at first. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

For sure Christina Hendricks. I don't think I would ever want to be skinny, I prefer a more traditional, 'fertile', and feminine figure.

I did the same thing last night. Most likely you ingested too much sodium and are now filled with water. So drink lots more to flush it out of your system and keep on rolling!

I love this story! It shows that one of the best ways to motivate yourself is to do it for selfless reasons--you didn't want to hurt your beloved companion. Congratulations on the great progress.

From just a cursory glance through your diary it looks like you ingest a lot of sodium. Do you watch this amount at all? I have noticed in my short time of logging that the days I eat more sodium the scale does not move. Also, have you been measuring in other places? If you are doing a lot of strength training it is…

You just need to have the img /img in lower caps. Congrats on your amazing loss!!

Thanks for the tips. Bump!

It just needs to be lowercase img. There you go! Also, AMAZING!!!!

Pub cheese? The spreadable cheese stuff you get at Trader Joes with tortilla chips. I could eat it by itself.

I want to be whatever Christina Hendricks is! But really, my goal doesn't have to do with clothing size, I mostly want to have a healthy amount of body fat and be able to shop at regular stores...And look like Christina Hendricks.

You are insanely beautiful!!!!

This made me a little weepy! Either I am hormonal or I desperately want to know that feeling. Congratulations.

My husband has the best beard. I love to skritch it in the morning.

I find I have been saving a little money since starting MFP because I will make enough food for a few meals, then eat it over the next couple days. It's also a time saver. The Recipe section here has a lot of good stuff (a lot of not so good stuff too)! I made this tonight for dinner and it took me a half an hour--…
