I think that might fix it.

That is awesome! And I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure with each pound lost you're going to feel so much better! Congrats on your current loss by the way (: Keep up the good luck & I'm sure you will reach your goals! :smile:

Another Crystal here (:

My name is boring...although, I'm sure there's somone on here that shares it. Crystal It means ice or rock. lol. I was named after Crystal Gail, though.

I'm with you here. I was getting the wraps of the market fresh turkey sandwich and realized how many calories. So, if I want to eat from arby's I stick to my all time favorite the deluxe roast beef burger with 420 calories (: And I only do that occasionally because it does have more fat than my normal meals and more…

:laugh:

I don't know that this would work, since you don't like vegetables. But, you can get low sodium V8 It might not made you gag so much and 1 serving of it is the equivalent of 2 servings of veggies. But, I do think it would be better for you to just eat them. If your wanting to lose weight you're going to have to do things…

Awesome! You made a great transformation (: I'm hoping I can make that kind of transformation. I know I can, but when you see stories like this it lets me know that I can. And I'm 5'3 (:

That's awesome. I know the whole routine of putting it one 150 automatically can't wait til I'm below 150! Good work (:

Wow, you look amazing! You're very beautiful either way. I wish I had your curves! I have curves but not like that! Anyways, amazing story and transformation (: I didn't just skip to the pictures. lol.

Thanks everyone! And I'm sure at least 5 of it was water weight. But, I'll take it! lol.

Thank you (:

How much are you exercising? They say if you are over-training your appetite will decrease, mine did and I rested up and got back on the exercise wagon gradually and now my appetite is fine, again. (: If it's not that, then I don't know. lol. Okay, so I missed the post where you figured out what was going on. lol.…

And you're already on a deficit at 1500 calories and that's supposed to help you lose x amount of lbs a week. If you are exercising away 200-300 calories that's putting your total net calories at 1200-1300 a day, because you are not eating back your calories your using through exercise. If you weren't already on a deficit…

I love the way you depicted this. I understood why you'd need to, but I read it anyway and I couldn't have thought of a better way to but it. (: Well done.

1 egg, 1/2 cup of lowfat vanilla yogurt, and a plain whole grain blueberry waffle (: 255 calories (:

Great job! However just starting out running, I learned this the hard way...I got to where I could run 30 mins straight and I was building speed. But, within a week I was barely running 15 mins straight...I had to slow it down. My body wasn't getting enough time to re-cooperate and now I'm having trouble staying away from…

Ah, okay. The brown suits you so much better it really pops. And I know the feeling. I wanted blue or green eyes and contacts just made me look like dracula because my eyes are almost black. So, that was out of the question. I just had to embrace it I guess. Although, sometimes I still wish my eyes were at least a lighter…

You look AWESOME! Congrats on your transformation and your hard work & dedication it takes a lot to lose that kind of weight in that little time (:

I had just bought a bunch of size 13 pants a couple months before and was growing out of them, like I seemed to do a little at a time since I was a size 5. And we had no money to go buy new clothes for me. So, I buckled down. I've lost 11.5 lbs and tomorrow will make 1 month for me. (: those size 13's are loose on me now…

Bump for later (: I'm hoping to have a flat tummy. But, I highly doubt I will. However I'll post my pics when I get there. I have stretch marks that stretch all over my stomach. I tried to count them once got to over 100 and then got lost somewhere. So, I highly doubt I'll have a flat tummy. But, I'm hoping because I'm…

^agreed. I do, of course, have motivation. But, sometimes it is lacking. And even when it is, I go. I go to the gym 5 times a week anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours and do an hour of cardio then weights, sometimes more of cardio. But, there have been a couple of times lately I just didn't want to. But, I went. Kinda like going…

Awesome (: I bet it feels great! I love reading the NSV's (: So awesome to see the little things along the journey. The little things that keep us going (:

You look great (: And you're very pretty. (: You were before as well.

A very awesome and moving story and transformation (:

That's awesome! Wish I could afford Insanity. lol.

WOW! That's all I can say! Way to go!!!

That is amazing! You sure worked hard! And I can't wait to see more of your progress (:

Congrats! That's awesome. (:

I'm a ways away from maintenance but if you have a heart rate monitor that way you can get a better look at how many calories your burning throughout the day that would give you a better estimate on how many calories you should probably eat on top of your BMR.
