It happens :) Don't let it discourage you too much! Make it through this week and then try the next. What really worked for me was taking weekly photos. I'd get bummed and unmotivated and then after looking at my new photo and comparing it to the last weeks or the first day (depending on how far in I was) I'd realize that,…

I needed to see this :) My motivation was sinking and this put me right back into a good state of mind. You are inspiring and powerful and amazing! I can't wait until I can post MY pictures :)

I have horrible self control and eating in moderation during that time still leaves me craving more, so I eat what I crave and then do my best to do damage control through some intense exercise. It helps perk up my energy and gets rid of some other nasty side effects. I'm happy because indulged, proud for working hard, and…

you look phenomenal! Keep up the amazing work! can't wait until i have pictures like you do!

@funforsports Attempting to start a mass revolution amongst the alpaca race!

~Exercise! (Endophins make you happy, and exercise helps your goals. Its a win win! Mustering the energy to do it though is the hard part with SAD) ~Invest in B complexes (These will help with the energy boost you need and should help perk up your mood!) ~Invest in vitamin D! (SAD is usually from a lack of sunlight,…

Wow!! I bet going shopping is WAAAYYY more fun now :) You look gorgeous girl! Your hard work shows!

so amazing! You look like a new person. So beautiful and motivating!

wow awesome story <3 made my night

Also in love with RPGs (especially dragon age and mass effect! Go Bioware!), the resident evil series, kingdom hearts <3, and assassins creed! Also on the non-computer based games I love magic the gathering and Dungeons and Dragons >:D

Avid WoW player! haha that's probably part of the reason why I'm here xD I need to set my laptop on the treadmill and play instead of sitting so much!

le sigh :( i know you people exist!

5lbs is probably more realistic. ;/ And you'd still have to work your butt off. But if you pick up lots of strength training, you might be able to tone up enough that it looks like you lost more than whatever it is you lose :) So it's something to consider.

absolutely amazing!

B-complexes are awesome, BUT DO NOT BUY THE TABLETS! Your body will moat like not absorb it, or if it does it won't absorb very much. Make sure you get the capsules or you can even get injections! B-complexes have really done wonders for me, and they affect my mood too making me feel just cheery ;) I certainly notice a…

I have the high testosterone version of PCOS not Estrogen and my doctors put me on Metformin XR to level out my testosterone levels and I've been having a MUCH easier time a losing weight. I do have lapses if I forget to take my metformin and i gain my weight back very quickly. I also sometimes have lapses even if I…

NOT a small difference! You can easily see it! :D wow and in ONLY a month :) Be proud of yourself, girly!

^---- This! I HATED exercising. Start into it slowly :) Buy some weights or a fun looking workout DVD. It doesn't have to be super intense or hard at first. Work into it, and you'll learn to love it, just like eating a healthy diet. After a while, i know i personally hate missing my daily exercise. I just feel tired, lazy…

You look absolutely amazing girl! what a huge difference! :D Looks like it could be even more than 35lbs!

Me as well! i'm 5'5" and my goal is 150. I've gotten to 160lbs before and i looked preety good, but my i'm 169lbs and because of the muscle building i look less than when i was 160lbs those years ago. So I'm thinking 150lbs will be good for me, but we'll see :) I'm starting to think I could do 140lbs!

I have MDD and often have delusions that everyone is mad at me and that it's my fault anyways. I'm sorry it's something you have to deal with from an outside perspective. :( It's hard to deal with myself, and i really try not to burden my family and friends with my symptoms. I'm sure your spouse feels similarly. As much as…
