WE WON!!! Thank you so much everyone for the help and support! I'm so excited!!! :) Now I can actually focus on studying for finals LOL.

55 minutes left people!!

Today I deadlifted my own bodyweight for the first time. :) 135lbs, yeahhhh!

Thanks everyone!! And I hope so, the voting ends in two and a half hours so I want to finish strong!

I lost the first twenty one summer when I got really busy and ate less/moved more just because I was always on the go, then I got sick that fall with mono and it took me a long time to recover. I started MFP at 156lbs and was trying to get by on 1200 calories because that was the default option and I didn't know any…

Thanks so much you guys!!! <3 Thank you! There's only four hours left and I'm still over 100 votes in the lead but I'm going to try and keep it up until it's official! I was able to get a nice long lifting sesh in too which I'm happy about. :)

Annnnnd thanks again so much to everyone else!! Because of all your votes, I can now go lifting without having to worry about falling behind. :flowerforyou:

I'm really happy to hear that!! You've got this! My eating habits used to be horrible and so misguided... if I can turn it around and get my *kitten* in gear, there is absolutely no reason why you can't too!! I added you so we can help motivate each other. :flowerforyou:

And thank you everyone else for your kind words and votes, I appreciate it soooo much! I accepted all the friend requests and I look forward to motivating one another in the future! :)

Hehehe, thanks so much Emma!!! :blushing: Dude, right? Me neither! And thank you!

I definitely will!! I'll post back on this thread when the voting ends tonight telling you guys the results, whether they be good or bad. :smile:

Thank you! And yep, just liking the picture is all you've gotta do! Voting ends at 10pm tonight and I'm trying to maintain a huge lead so I can go out and lift without having to worry about it haha. On a side note, dude I swear to you I have made an account before on another site using the same name as yours, Effulgence,…

Thank you! :flowerforyou:

I really enjoyed this read. I enjoy it not because I agree with the treatment, but because it is such a brutally honest and real account and it is so sad that this is so true. Sometimes I wish I had never been overweight but I definitely think it has given me an entirely different perspective and sensitivity compared to if…

It makes me really happy to see that you are seeking help and support. I'll add you back and help you as best I can so long as you're staying healthy. xo

I'm doing about the same as you so I would be very interested in hearing some feedback as well!

Thank you very much! I was blond for 19 years and decided it was finally time for a change. I went red March of last year and I still love it!

Thanks for the feedback, ladies!! :)

Keep it up girlie!! You're well on your way to getting back to where you want to be. :)

The mandarin chickenless nuggets are AMAZING!! One package can stretch between two people if you're eating at proper portion sizes--my girlfriend and I get that every time we go there. You should also branch out and try their wraps in their fresh section--sooooo good! They have good prepackaged salads that aren't too…

You both could be eating a lot more and still able to lose weight. If you're waking up in the middle of the night hungry and fatigued throughout the day, that is a huge sign you're not eating enough or fueling your body well enough! You know BMR and TDEE so I imagine you've already read this thread, but I'm going to post…

Tremendous job, lady! Congrats!! You look beautiful!! :flowerforyou:

That is an amazing NSV, man! Congratulations!!

Yes, yes, absolutely yes. If you're looking for a sign to start exercising and get healthier, this is it. "I am looking for happiness and acceptance with myself. My mother suggests seeing a therapist, but I told her I want to try healthier alternatives, (change of diet, increase of exercise, and lose weight), before that.…

I love this idea!! I don't think I've looked at the scale yet this month for whatever reason, if I have it has only been once. I'm down for the challenge!!

Love Lyle! Thanks for posting this link, ladies. Also I think there might be a bit of truth to this, my weight has been stalled for two months and just this week it finally seemed to kick into gear and I lost three pounds. I know that 2 lbs max is what you should lose in a week for healthy weight loss yadda yadda I'm not…

Lol, no. Who gets ads anymore? :laugh:

Pizza, bacon, soda, doritos (basically any kind of -itos for that matter) and salad dressing, to name a few.

^Looks pretty accurate.

^This is what I plan to do in the future as well! Like others have said, having at least one joint account makes bill paying easier but that doesn't mean you have to combine all your money!
