Welcome back!! You can do it - sometimes all it takes is a fresh start :)

I'm looking for others on Two Grand also! My user name is veerich I am doing calorie counting (1200/day) and trying to eat foods low in calories and rich in nutrients.

Wow such a difference!! Your hard work is paying off!

Just being consistent is probably the most important thing. If you do it before coffee, right when you wake up, then do the same thing next week.

AWESOME comparison! Same outfit, same person, same hair do... but two different sizes. Also I believe you look a bit more confident in the second photo. And yep you are definitely shrinking! Keep doing what you're doing :)

First of all, you look amazing. Like an entirely new person. All of your hard work has paid off and IT SHOWS! I love all of your tips. Most of the tips you gave are also things that I would tell people who are just starting too. Granted, I haven't lost nearly as much weight as you have, I have come to find that those are…

EXACTLY how I was about my weight gain. I was at 189lbs and when I looked in the mirror I saw myself as 120. It was seeing myself in pictures that finally woke me up. And you are around the same age and height as me too with similar weight. Very inspiring for me. Thank you so much for sharing. AND YOU LOOK AMAZING!! Keep…

AMAZING transformation! You look gorgeous and so confident rocking those cute dresses. Thank you so much for sharing... very inspiring!

Also this: http://www.food.com/recipe/quinoa-tabouli-140618 And as far as brands I've tried the Bob's Red Mill and 365 Organic brand and those are good. Also a lot of stores have it in the bulk department and that has always worked out for me. Oh and like others have said be sure to rinse it first. Just put it in a bowl…

1 parts quinoa to 2 parts liquid. Cook it like rice. If you are in the mood for something sweet try it with small apple slices and/or blueberries with a dash of maple syrup or honey, and cinnamon. Yummm Yum.

Grilled boneless pork chop, 1/2 grilled avocado, boiled corn on the cob, grilled foil packet with heirloom tomatoes and bell peppers with olive oil. Super easy, yummy and filling.

I try to just indulge in a dessert or "not good for me" food once or twice a week. I typically do really good with eating within my calories during the week so sometimes on the weekends, especially if I have an event or special occasion, I will allow myself to indulge/go over calories/not track, but I wouldn't say I go too…

I feel like they crossed the line to look up your phone number and to call you about it, when you didn't ask them to. A typed response from the business on the review website would be way more appropriate. I see it on Trip Advisor all the time. I've even been messaged by companies on Trip Advisor appreciating my positive…

UM YES. Majorly noticeable! 10 pounds is a lot of weight and I can definitely see it. Stomach looks good and your back looks great! keep up the awesome work! And thanks for sharing your pictures!

AWESOME! Keep up the great work. Looks like your body has shrunk but your smile and confidence has grown. Thanks for sharing - great inspiration.

I LOOOOOOOVE peanut butter! PB2 is a great option for low cal. I love the all natural kind of peanut butter and almond butter. Justins Honey almond butter is my ultimate favorite.

AWESOME! I think it's really encouraging for you to share that you've been overweight/obese for most of your life and you took charge and you DID IT and others can do it too. Very inspirational thanks for sharing!! AND YOU LOOK GREAT!

THIS. I've even put on my sports bra and running shorts the night before and slept in them so I could just literally roll out of bed and head to the gym. Make it as easy for yourself as possible... and just DO IT.

You look amazing!!! Great inspiration for me. And I see from your drivers license picture you are from Minnesota! :) What a good feeling to have a nice picture for your drivers license too. Keep up the fantastic work.

I have used kicker and skull candy headphones which I know are a lot more obnoxious than ear buds, but I find when i wear ear buds they make my inner ear hurt really bad. So anyways I use my headphones and I'll watch Netflix on my phone. My cousin made a deal with herself that she could only watch this TV series she was…

Wow SMOKIN! Looking REALLY good! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

Looking VERY good. All of your activity entries are very motivating as well :) Keep up the great work!

Great job!! You look so happy and confident in the after picture :)

In 10th grade. I got to English class and a classmate told our teacher that a plane crashed into the world trade center and she didn't believe him. Finally she turned on the TV and we ended up watching all day.

It seems like every time we go, no matter how big or small or order is, it's ALWAYS $100. Usually we go once a week.

I've definitely had days like that. I know it can be hard but just be glad you got a work out in and start again tomorrow. Like PP said, you can't do a PR every single day you run. I'm sure if you look at how you are averaging over time it is probably getting a little better. And it would be really cool to hit a PR on your…

HA at least it wasn't somebody that you DID know. I feel like that would have been way more mortifying.

1. Lay in bed and play games on my iPhone 2. Get coffee going 3. Shower

Oh also, if you log your fruits/veggies, then if you look back and see some really good days you can actually see what you ate. If you ate a lot of fruits and veggies (plus other foods) and logged everything you could see exactly what you ate that day.
