I asked for mostly fitness stuff this year...haha. I put lots of hiking items and workout clothing on my list since I'm basically replacing my whole wardrobe right now. I'd LOVE a BOSU.

The best revenge is living your life to the fullest and being happy! Don't eat that stuff and let it derail you. He'll look back and wish he never did that to you if you continue to succeed.

Me too :(

You look sooo good!! Keep at it girl!

I'm going through this now with a physical therapist and it is really hard :( She says that you should stand in proper poster a few times a day and close your eyes and breath. It helps your retrain your brain to adapt to that new posture...of course you have to retrain the muscles too. I literally always want to slouch.…

I would eat them if I were you. I stuck to a 1200 calorie diet for a long time and finally I got sick of it. I bumped it up to 1350 for awhile and I did not gain weight and continued to lose sporadically (as I'm at the end of my weight loss, that is to be expected). If you're working out, an extra few cals will not hinder…

They really are all different, haha. In Sevens I can wear a 27-28 but in Citizens I'd wear a bit bigger probably! If you think about it though, it's the same with any other jeans whether it be Levi's or Target brand...it always differs among brands!

That's exciting! I used to love their jeans. However, I think they are a bit "sizeist". They actually do carry 16s and 18s but you can only order them online. Also, when I shopped there they carried 00 but you could only buy those online as well.

I'm equally as interested in this! This will be my first year with gluten free/soy free holidays and I'd love to have the options. Does anyone know of a good pie crust recipe, stuffing recipe, or even adapted gluten free christmas cookie recipes?? I know I can find a lot of this stuff on the internet, but it's nice to know…

140 and full of muscle!

Strawberry for sure!! It's the most beautiful color of hair (in my opinion) and would be so gorgeous with your skin! Either that or a dark auburn color :)

You look so amazing and teeny tiny now!! Hoping I can have a little waist like that soon! Amazing work :)

I absolutely love them! I went a long time without having any friends on here, just going at this whole thing alone...but even then I used to look at the success stories and they gave me so much hope!

I definitely could. If I switched to fruit or veggies I'd be waayyy better off than my go to peanut butter or protein bars (did I just admit that!?). I sense a new challenge coming on...

Think about how amazing your body will look if you exercise and lose the weight at the same time! All of that exercise you're missing out on will help firm and tighten your skin. Get with it...you'll be so happy you did!! Ooops, that was supposed to be a reply to the poster who was having a hard time finding motivation to…

It's awful!! I have kidney/bladder problems so I wake up a lot to pee and somehow a long time ago I formed a night eating habit. I get up and I immediately want a snack of some sort. It's so hard to break! I'll go weeks doing really well and then all of a sudden I'll go back to my horrible ways :( I have a feeling that if…

Night eating for sure :(

You're looking amazing!

Amen!

Black with sparkles :) Orrr, anything purple. I used to get my nails done all the time and I'd get black tips with the silver sparkly line, so cute. I miss them but the chemicals destroyed my hands for awhile there.

Nooooo! And chocolate too :( What is the world coming to...

Gaspard Ulliel :)

Also, he's got it right! I take my notes with me on the treadmill. I can't run or anything otherwise I can't read my papers, but I can up the incline and speed quite a bit and still study. The reading takes so much concentration that my 45 min is up before I know it.

I'm going through this right now too!! It seems that my late night studying is made easier if I have something to snack on... Lately, not today, but during this past week I've snacked on veggies with jalapeno yogurt dip or an apple with PB2 peanut butter. I had to give up my ice cream because I'm trying to shed to last few…

I've lost 111 lbs and it's taken me since January 2010 to do it. I simply did it with diet and exercises, no tricks or clever pills! I started out on the South Beach diet phase 1 to kickstart my weight loss and it definitely did the trick. After that I didn't really follow a specific diet, I just ate sensibly. I was…

I'd have 3-4 oz of meat and then add a tbsp of butter to the calories.

Lookin' hot!

You look really good as Mia! LOVE it!

It's not nearly perfect but I'm proud of what I've accomplished. The texture will never be quite right because of my stretch marks but it's getting better all the time. Lots of cardio and ab exercises! It's basically the last place that need to lose weight on my body right now so I'm trying to figure out all the tricks too…
