peace in our time.

meh to kumquats. Dried mango?

I know you can do it! It's just one day at time. Log everything. Wash, rinse, repeat. You're gonna be so good at this, it'll be boring. =)

APPLAUSE!!! Great work! And you are so totally rockin' that dress. =)

Everything's okay.

Precious, priceless, beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi wru2251! I saved this thread from a little while ago, inspiring stuff, and more of what you're looking for: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10052379/unexpected-results-of-weight-loss

To be in tip-top shape for pregnancy, that's how it started out for me. In Aug 2013, my doctor told me the best thing I could do if I wanted to get pregnant was to lose the weight beforehand. Now that I'm 30 pounds down and lifting weights twice a week, I know I've found a new lifestyle for me no matter what. I love the…

I am loving this thread. So much good stuff. For me, it's the re-emergence of a defined chin, wrist bones, and collarbones. And now even a hip bone is flirting with me. It's having to make myself *know* that I am a size 10, and that somehow something that is size "M" will actually fit. It's only getting better and better.…

Introvert (22%), Sensing (1%), Feeling (38%), Perceiving (22%) I've taken it at different times in my life, and I've never gotten the same results twice.

I don't have any particular set thing, but I have noticed the same thing that you are describing. Anything that keeps me occupied and disrupts my thinking pattern when it is stuck on food-food-food-food though I am not truly hungry, is a welcome diversion: a walk, a nap, cleaning, a phone call, a phone call while…

Last year I at this time, I was mad, mad, mad that I had started an anti-anxiety medication and gained 11 pounds in 3 weeks (when I was actively trying to lose, and I was very aware of the insatiable hunger that was popping up as a side effect.) Today, even with the holiday weight gain I am a good 27 pounds down from that…

"If you’re overweight and working on losing weight, don’t think you’ll love yourself more when you reach your goal. Start now, and who cares what the world has to say about how you look now if you’re making efforts to be healthier. Roll around on the floor a little with your arms open to what the universe can bring you –…

This thread has got me thinking, but *this* post: mind, blown.

The progression of this thread makes me smile… Put it out at 7pm on a Sunday and there are no nibbles, but bump it first thing in the morning, and *boom* the ladies who lift are all over it. Please add me, too. I started this past June, and have transformed from a girl trying to lose weight into a girl working hard to be…

I attended a group weight-loss hypnosis class with my mom in Aug 2013. I experienced positive results right away (and at no time did I feel out of control during the session). I would say that it was a session of positive, guided imagery. It was a way of reinforcing behaviors and thoughts that were new to me. For instance,…

I was shopping for a Halloween costume at the local thrift shop, saw a dress that was the right color, and grabbed it to try on. I wouldn't normally try on a fitted-through-the-hips size 10, but for some reason I didn't look at the size until I took it off. And it fit perfectly! (Also: $8 yay!) And I can distinctly…

Great job! I am rejoicing with you! Non-Scale Victories, yo…you've got 'em in spades. I, too, am experiencing the XL to L transformation…my scale # is different, but that's just cuz I'm a little shortypants. We kept doing this, because it is a life transformation. We're in it for the long haul. Word.

What an unexpected difference 10 pounds can make! Thank you so much for sharing your results!

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE ! ! !

I agree with what is being said here. I think of my weight as a 5-pound range, because there is so much natural fluctuation depending on the time of day and where my body happens to be in the replenishing cycle of glycogen (which I think is the same thing that is often talked about as "water weight"). I agree that to…

WOW. I Love, Love, LOVE your story! You've had a phenomenal year! Best to you and Jackie!
