  • I started at 320 back in March, and am aiming for around 145. Feel free to add me!
  • 102 day streak so far, and down 34 lbs. Feel free to add me!
  • Edmonton here!
  • Another Edmontonian here! Always up for new friends :)
  • Yeah, around here (western Canada), big girls seem to hang onto their clothes until thy're not wearable anymore. I know I do, anyway lol I don't know what number size I'm in, but I currently wear a 3X, and it's rare to find anything bigger than an XL in the thrift shops nearest me. It's okay, though. I look forward to the…
  • This was pretty much the point of my post - I can't afford, and therefore don't want, something materialistic. I can't afford a gym membership, thus can't make PB's in that regard. I wasn't meaning to say that the other poster was being negative, but rather that she wasn't posting in the spirit of how I intended this…
  • I'm glad you're satisfied with that. I've got a long way to go before I'll feel like I look marvelous or feel fantastic, so I want something to help me along the way as motivation. I don't really have anybody cheering me on from the sidelines, aside from my 11 and 12 year old kids, and they don't really "get" it. And, if…
  • When I get down to a small enough size, I will definitely be thrift shopping. Still have to shop in the big girl stores for now, though, and the thrift stores around here don't carry much in the bigger sizes. Thanks!
  • I get my days to myself all the time, and can choose what I do or don't do (kids in school, I'm a single stay at home mom, so if I choose not to clean that day, it just doesn't get done, and we move on to the next day). Now, what would be good would be a NIGHT to myself. However, that requires my ex-husband's cooperation,…
  • Hmm. I'll give this one some thought. I'm not sure I'd do the rocks, though that's a neat idea, but I could probably spare $5-$10 a month into a savings account. Thanks!
  • I don't really need to do a cheat meal, as I'm able to fit pretty much anything I want into my daily goals...I try not to deprive myself of anything because my history shows that when I start to feel deprived, I go waaaaaaaay overboard and then fall completely off track and take forever (a year and a half and 50 lbs gained…
  • For me, right now Walmart is out of the question for clothes. I'd love a HRM, but it's not in the budget for quite a while yet. The purse strings are pulled about as tight as they can get. :-( but it's something to keep in mind for down the road.
  • I love this idea. I digitally scrapbook, so this is something I can put together with very little expense (printing it out would be the extent of the cost). Thanks so much for the fabulous idea!!
  • Hiya! My start weight was 320, and I'm looking to get down around 160, then reassess when I get there. Feel free to add me!
  • I weigh daily, sometimes more often (depending on curiosity levels), but record weekly.
  • I'm in for new friends! I've got 160-180 total to lose, and would love to have friends with similar goals!
  • I lost 11 lbs in my first month, but I had 160-180 to lose overall, so it's coming off fairly quickly right now (been working at this since March 13th).
