You can do this. I work a ton too.... and for a long time, that was my reason for not getting up and exercising, not eating healthy, and in general not taking care of myself. I'm going to assume getting a different job isn't an option. So, instead let's focus on what you can do! Find food you like that you can take with…

I'm in the same boat. Lost almost 70 lbs, felt fantastic, then things got tough for me personally and I went back to old habits to cope. I'm back where I started. I feel sad that I am where I am, but I refuse to beat myself up for it. I lost the weight before, I will do it again. And you can too!!! Feel free to add me!

I'm in So Cal-- feel free to add me!

The thing I hate the most is how much my weight has affected my self esteem. For years, I have forced myself through this torture: Every time I walk into a room, I do a quick scan and then I force myself to acknowledge that I am the fattest girl in the room. Of course, from there it's difficult to enjoy myself and the…

I can absolutely see a difference! You already look amazing, but I am excited to see your complete transformation.

Feel free to add me! I started at 221 back in August. I'm officially at 186... (but I know that I am actually down a few more pounds).

Such a great NSV! Congrats!

Sending a friend request now--- similar goals! :)

I had a few friends that I told right away. The ones I told aren't my closest friends, they are my fittest friends... they are the ones making the choices that I need to make. It was the right choice to tell them, as they have been extremely supportive! I didn't tell anyone else for the first month... then I started…

You look amazing! Congratulations on your success! And, thank you for the inspiration.

Bump! Great ideas!

Your mom is wrong. You can absolutely be a 10/12 again-- you can be slimmer than a 10/12 if you choose! My mom tells me on a regular basis that I "will never be a skinny minnie" and that my body type "will always be on the side" because I am "a big girl and there's nothing wrong with that." Basically, my mom likes to tell…

sending you an add now--- stick with it! you can do it!

Feel free to add me! I've been successful so far, but still have a bit to lose. I am on every day!

I'm here! I'm in a crunch time at work.... and that isn't helping the scale. It's not going up, it just isn't moving. But, I am focused on having a great week this week!

Height 5'3" SW: 221 SS: 16/18 CW: 195 CS: um.... not sure. 12-14 depending. GW: 150 GS: no idea I noticed a difference after the first 10 lbs-- my clothes just fit me better. After 20 lbs, my clothes were too big. Now at 25 lbs, I am searching my closet for things that fit right. I have a few things from the last time I…

I'm a big fan of Clean Eating Magazine. And, their Best of Clean Eating Magazine cookbook is full of the best recipes!

Thank you so much for starting a group for shorties! I'm 5'3" (almost.) and currently weigh 195. OUCH! But, I'm better off now than when I started two months ago (at 221!)

I eat 1200-1500 per day. It all depends on how much exercise I can get it-- I usually eat back some of my exercise calories, but I try to not gobble back up ALL of them!

I own my own business. I'm a consultant. I love what I do!

I never really wanted kids. So, I married someone who also was ambivalent about it. We both like kids-- we are the best "aunt and uncle" ever! When we spend time with our friends who have kids, we get to do all of the fun stuff! We get to play and hear about their day at school or what they saw at the park.... but we never…

Feel free to friend me! I have lost 20 lbs so far... my goal is 70, so I still have some work to do!

healthybabs- those sound amazing!

bump. amazing info -- thanks for taking the time to put all of this together!

I bought my fitbit 6 weeks ago. I love it. I wear it all day every day--- and yes, do use the sleep tracker. I'm competitive- and the person I like to compete with the most is myself. There is no way that I am not going to meet my goals... if I get home at the end of the day and see that I still need a few floors and I…

people are harassing you on your walk? well, that sucks. put on headphones, blast the music.... in other words, don't listen to them. and remember: you are lapping everyone that's sitting on the couch. YOU CAN DO IT!

Congratulations! I hit 20 lbs today as well! My overall goal is to lose 71 lbs. So, this is still the beginning for me. But, I don't want to get discouraged, so I am going to focus on 10 lbs at a time. I'm also trying to challenge myself when it comes to doing new things. I just added Zumba to my routine, and while I am…

San Diego here! Feel free to add me! :)
