Congratulations to you both!! What an awesome journey you guys are on together :) You look amazing.

Wow! That is a fantastic difference for one month!

I love this!! You look amazing :)

Almost right on! It says 150 and I'm 149. I actually had to get a new license last year because my picture was me at 260 lbs. None of the bouncers at any bars believed it was me and it kept causing me trouble. I think I was about 160 lbs when I got the license...so I lied a bit, I thought 150 would be a good number to put…

The summer when I was 16, haha. Oh, The Cure <3

Most recently it would have to be Red State.

You look amazing, Jenna, and you are such a wonderful inspiration to your friends on here!

This is hard! 1. To be able to hike for a living. 2. To finally accept my body and all of its flaws. 3. To find love!

You look awesome! Killer legs :)

You're so beautiful!! Congratulations on that amazing loss!

You look amazing, girl!! Awesome work over the last two years...I know it's really hard.

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury...sci-fi classics ftw!

I make these, only the recipe is called "oopsie rolls" :)

Yes!! I'm in Washington state and we have an amazing amount of hiking trails around here. I can't wait until the weather clears up a little bit more because hiking will be much more pleasant...though I've got quite a few in this winter :) I got to go to AZ this year as well and tried a couple of trails down there. It was…

Vanilla protein powder 1/2 an avocado 1 tsp matcha green tea powder or yerba mate powder 1/2 cup coconut milk (or milk of your choice) 1/2 cup water A little sweetener to taste (or none at all) Ice! SO delicious. Edit: This tastes JUST like an avocado bubble tea minus the tapioca pearls

Usually everything comes with a nice piece of meat and some grilled veggies like the above poster said. When I go out to eat Greek food I don't seem to have any problem keeping it healthy. Just avoid the pita if you don't want the extra cals :) Have fun...I'm jealous of your food!

You look so fantastic!! It's great that you've been able to lose the last 20 lbs without logging. That really says SO much about what you've learned on this journey :) Congrats!

I'm sure it depends on the person, but I'm very vitamin D deficient and I haven't had any problems losing all of my weight. When my doctor found this out, however, she put me on crazy doses of Vitamin D. Maybe you should call you doctor's office and ask how much you should take to get your body in check.

They are a low-carb replacement for a roll. You make them with whipped egg whites, egg yolks, and a little cream cheese. I made them this morning and I'll probably just use them as a replacement for a sandwich roll tonight :)

Aw that was sweet of her. That sucks though :(

I only WISH I had your *kitten*! Rock it, hun :)

Lost another pound I got to tutor my favorite little kids My parents lost some weight too :)

Just don't eat that stuff after 7 pm.

I haven't had a valentine in quite some time. I just never meet the right ones. :sad:

I totally understand what you mean...it's very hard for our minds to adjust. You look way beautiful though. Keep taking these before and afters so you can see your awesome progress! Amazing work :)

Thank you, Taso! This fits right in with my eating plan right now...totally going to make this.

I started using this username for various things when I went through a rough time in my life and vowed to "rise from ruin." It actually comes from some lyrics from a band called Converge. It serves as inspiration for me every day :)

I went snowshoeing for the first time yesterday and I ended up wearing leggings because they fit in my boots the best. When I looked at the photos that we took later, I actually looked pretty dang good in them :) Two years and 110 lbs ago, I couldn't even imagine wearing leggings in public.

Yay!! I'm so happy to hear that in this short amount of time your life has seemed to take a turn for the better!! If you hit the next year with this positive attitude and incredible effort, you'll be where you need to be in no time. Weight loss helped me get off of anti depressants as well :) I spent years on all sorts of…
