Are you kidding me? What a difference! You ROCK! :glasses:

I had Dig by Pantera, I do like Walk by Pantera too though :)

Oh man, I walk the dog a LOT! Now my MFP friends think I'm a freak! :blushing:

Yeah...but, how many calories are you actually burning in two to three minutes? :bigsmile:

I'm with you, music is essential. Here are a few 'emotionally charged' favorites of mine in no particular order. The Best of You-Foo Fighters Lose Yourself-Eminem Bulls on Parade-Rage Against the Machine Dig-Pantera Let the Bodies Hit the Floor-Drowning Pool

That is awesome! I so love progress pics! :love: ps-I love your style. :glasses:

I don't agree with your brother. I am far from fit, but I have added weight training. I feel stronger and I am building muscle that will help increase my metabolism, even at rest. My plan to get fit includes eating healthy, moving my body, and building muscle. I have talked to physical therapists and personal trainers and…

You have worked hard for it and you are amazing! Love having you for my MFP friend!

I see a difference too! Your face shape has changed and your skin glows. Keep up the good work!

:laugh:

I have never thought of weighing myself before and after a poop LOL. I know I do weigh myself before my shower so my hair isn't wet...really how much can wet hair weigh?

That is awesome! You look great and you are setting such a good example for your girls. WTG!

LOL...yeah and it messes up the trophy to mount!

Never thought of that, the world is a scary place :frown:

Your torso is gorgeous, you should be proud and I'm sure your face is more than 'just a face' too.

The transformation is insanely amazing. You look healthy and fit. WTG

It gets easier, and it's surprising how fast! I started a weight training program and the first week I could barely do 5 pushups at a time. The second week was much easier and now I'm in week four and I complete my sets with pretty good form. Stick with it, you won't regret it!

But, we can still see the progress without being distracted by the head. I like to see the smile on the faces and the healthy glow too,not just shoulders down. Facial changes can be really dramatic too.

I am attacking my weight the same way you are. I love seeing that it CAN be done. You look great and are ROCKING that t! Thanks for sharing your story.

Before I answer, can I just say WOW, You have totally transformed yourself. Way to go! Now, that must make it even harder to see him living an unhealthy lifestyle considering how far you have come. But, you can't do it for him. Just keep being a good example, feed him healthy food and hopefully he will join you in working…

Aunt Flo has been a rare to never visitor for the past 7 years (since I gained so much weight) I have even been tested to see if I'm going through menopause but no. I'm not complaining!

I just want to say that I really appreciate the honesty and the insight people are sharing on this topic. I think that the people who replied that there are mean and judgemental people in all sizes may be exactly right. I say too bad for judgemental people, they are limiting themselves by judging others without really…

I don't think that everyone is this judgemental. I have enough to worry about with my own issues, I don't need to focus on other peoples 'faults'. Is it possible that people who are so judgemental have their own insecurities and it makes them feel better to point out other peoples faults? Somehow that makes them feel like…

Do you honestly think there are little girls at home saying, 'I want to be a news anchor when I grow up-I better start overeating because the anchor on channel 8 is overweight. And, I want to be 'cool and obese'. ' Really? SMH

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you have a 'duty' to go around telling people how to live their lives or to criticize them. You are welcome to do so if you cannot control yourself, but then you must deal with the consequences of being an insensitive a-hole. Her bosses obviously knew she wasn't a size 2 when they hired her,…

I saw her response to the email too. I say good for her! The person who wrote her is way out of line. She is a news anchor, not a personal trainer. So, how is she a bad role model because of her weight? Some people act like if you are overweight you live on junk food and don't move from the couch, that just isn't true for…

I love your new pictures! You bust your butt and it shows!

Pachabel canon in d. The song still gives me chills even though the marriage was a disaster. But, the song that describes me and my bf now is probably Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Deadman. :devil:

Awesome! There are so many wins but one of the best is that you were able to stop taking 6 prescribed medications! You rock!

Way to take your determination and discipline and turn it to success!
