Tomato slices with sweetener and mustard. Apple chunks in an omelette. My Dad used to eat thick slices of Spanish Onion smothered in strawberry jam. I tried it once, it was as gross as it sounds, but to each their own!

Absolutely you should wear it, assuming you feel comfortable. I think you look amazing - nice figure, small waist, thigh gap, looking toned - check! And congrats on losing so much weight and managing to keep your boobs! LOL Who cares about a few stretch marks??? Lots of people have them. I vacation a fair bit (and wore my…

While your mileage may vary, drinking alcohol did not hinder my weight loss one bit. I lost 85 pounds in less than a year, a few before starting mfp, and I am pretty much at goal, all while drinking (vodka soda/diet 7) pretty much every day. I just make sure it fits within my calories. If you were to look at my diary,…

Lots of good suggestions so far! Since you're in Canada, you could also try Mark's Work Warehouse. Their own brand (Denver Hayes, I believe) is not very expensive but goes to pretty big sizes compared to other stores, plus they go on sale for $16.99 fairly often. No metal or plastic fasteners in the straps, all one piece…

You can add me if you want. I've been here about a year, but started my weight loss journey a few months before that. aside from when I go away on vacation, I log every day. I'm pretty much at goal (3 lbs to go, don't really care if I lose them or not at this point!)and in maintenance now with 85 pounds lost in total, 78…

I am an on-foot Letter Carrier, and It absolutely POURED rain during my entire 3 hour route today. Stopped pretty much the second I returned to the Depot and the sun came out. Gee, thanks Mother Nature! ETA: ^^LOL!

You are amazing! Great job!

I am 5'10" and medium-large frame. Started at 256 just over a year ago. My initial goal weight was just to be under 200, "Ultimate Goal" was 175, as I remember last time I weighed that (a LONG time ago!) and felt very happy at that weight. I am now 178-179 and quite happy here - the only reason I kind of want to lose those…

I am the Queen of getting up early! I get up between 4:30 and 5 on workdays, have to be at work no later than 6:15. I am often there by 6. That being said, I do hate the first 10 minutes or so after the alarm goes off, but once that's over, you're good to go. There's no real trick to getting up before the crack of dawn -…

You can do it!!!! I was about 220 lbs (now about 181) and bored with my gym routine when I first decided to give running a go. HA! I made it about 30 seconds before I was out of breath and felt like I was going to die! That was only 8 months ago. I kept plugging away at it. I didn't *exactly* do a C5K program, but just ran…

That'll teach me to read all the way to the end of the thread before posting! LOL Congrats - that is amazing! Way to go!

^^^ This! I ran my first ever 5k race New Years Day. I had only been "running" (interval training) for about 6 months, on mostly flat ground. When I saw what the course was going to consist of, I was nervous for sure, and almost felt like dropping out...but I knew I would later feel so disappointed in myself if I did so.…

This thread is amazing! It is incredible and inspiring hearing abour everyone's NSV's - a great big high-five to all of you! To add a few of my own: * Getting my blood pressure down from a ridiculous 180/120 to 112/74. Resting HR down from 95 to 57. * Running my first 5k race on NYD at -10 degrees, and finishing 3.5…

Based on the previous replies, I'm guessing my reply won't be very popular, but...I am a drinker and I do not want to give it up at this point. I drink just about every day, vodka soda (or diet 7). I log it, in fact I plan ahead for it, but I also eat extremely healthily and I am under my goals 99% of the time. I am 37,…
