My newest line of defense against myself is the all powerful mantra....so many times I'm tired, and in pain (I have nerve damage issues) and want to go home cuddle with my dog and shut out the world...so what I've started doing is litterally in my head and even sometimes out loud, I say over and over, go to the gym, get up…

I'm 5'4" and 242lbs and I am yoyo tastic and can't stay on it enough to get out of the 200's. :(

De bone them and throw in a skillet with a little EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and whatever spanish or heat flavors you like. I love putting some garlic (dried or fresh), onion (dried and fresh), cilantro (dried or fresh), and a little bit of cayenne. Cook until done then throw it on a butcher block chop the heck out of…

As much as it sucks as with any addictive or negative personality or habit you at some point need to stop enabling her. I realize how much it sucks because she's your Mother but she should also be held accountable for her own choices and actions. When someone is always the victim they never learn or see their own short…

Ok so I'm not an expert of any kind but what about keep the skim milk part and add a pre-portioned out (you can even use a sandwhich baggy) protein shake you can even throw in a banana for fiber and potassium (be sure it's not super ripe for added fiber. Do this and you'll be under your calories, full, and tons of energy…

Great Job! Keep up the good work!

You look awesome!!! Keep up the good work and thanks for the motivation/inspiration!

You know if you are the occassional smoker just make sure that the foods you snack on are fuel not crap. If you're going to compare the two the Drink is chemical and the Green is plant. Baked not fried. It's the healthy choice....:happy: of course too much of anything is detrimental (not sure I spelled that right, moving…

Hey I know it's easier said than done because all I ever heard growing up was how "I can't..." or how disappointing I was, or fat, etc...the reason behind getting healthier and living to our fullest potential in life needs to be our only movation and driving force because others will let us down. Either they fear what they…

Bump. All I've got is before's but as soon as there is any "progress" I will gladly join in all the updating fun. You all look amazing and I hope to one day be a proud "after" poster myself!!

Non Fat Greek Yogurt is awesome....low sodium, high protein and if you have a Trader Joe's in your area the Trader Joe's Fat Free brand has fruit mixed in already with no added sugar or mix in fresh berries yourself...I actually do a protein shake post workout to help recoup my muscle strain...

I'm more all about it then ever before but maybe it's just a lull or a plateau for you, if you will. Try looking up natural healthy foods you can add to your diet and maybe getting a little more rest. If your fatigued that could explain the situation. :)

Yea me too even!! What's the Diet Chef Plan? How does one get into this? :)

You look absolutely amazing and you're story is so inspiring and feuling, if that makes any sense, to my weightloss journey. I have over 120 pounds to lose to be "healthy" and it seems like the horizon is so far sometimes. Reading your story and seeing your life transformation just confirms that it is possible and totally…

I'm 5' 4" does that count? I have a whole heaping ton of weight to lose as well.

According to the Nutritionists that I've talked to or that friends have gone to the concept is Calories in Calories out. If you don't replace or eat the calories you burn but eat the recommended daily 1200 to 1500 Cals you run the potential of losing more than the standard 1 to 2 pounds per week. Now if you're only eating…

All of it sounds super good. I'm have a green leafy salad with baby spinach, rinsed and drained tuna (in water), a couple of croutons, my homemade light ceaser vinagrette dressing and half a serving of Jalapeno Ranch because I love the spice. Oh and some Avocado. Gotta have you're MUFA!!! All and all only 313 calories and…

I'm the same height but not "successful" as of yet. Working towards it though! I did take horrible icky before pics.

12/1/2010 was the day I said it and meant it. I've said the words so many different times throughout my life but the first day of the last month of 2010 something clicked and I realized being afraid of the unknown was the reason I had failed so many times before and even though I'm still scared I choose to act instead of…

As someone that got divorced when she was chunky and then blew up because of depression let me commend you on totally taking the other approach. Bravo! You can do it!!
-
Here's my thought as someone at the beginning, again, of her journey you're absolutely right with everything you say but if I was practiced at controling my urges I wouldn't be morbidly obese to begin with. So while I applaud the sentiment I also know what a struggle it is to shut up that "fat" girl in my head and realize…
-
You did so awesome as someone that needs to lose about the same amount of weight you're truly an inspiration. Great job!
-
Be the outspoken picky orderer. It always feels weird being that person but there are ways to make even diner food not as bad. simple things like asking for chopped raw veggies in a dinner salad with dressing on the side. Asking that something be steamed or grilled instead of fried and battered. You can do it if your aware…

That sounds so good! What's the calorie breakdown do you know?

That's insane. What's worst as Americans we probably don't even think about it. Scary.

Guys you are all amazing and look so happy and just....ALIVE!!! There are so many "why bother" moments and then I see your pics and I realize that it's within my reach I just really have to want it, and work for it...so thank you for making realize I should "bother" and I should do so with every fiber of my mobidly obese…

You look amazing!!! Good job!!!

That's awesome! You have to be so proud of yourself! As someone that needs to lose over 120lbs myself to be "healthy" it makes me fired up to see it can and is being done. You look amazing and happy. Congratulations!!!
