I did not understand what offside meant until now. This is awesome, thank you!

Emotional eater here. These last 2 weekends have been especially challenging for me. I'm just taking it day by day and learning to deal with it. We often eat to cope with stress or other emotions rather than dealing with the stress or the emotions head on. I was really drowning it it yesterday, so I just started googling,…

About 75 lbs difference!

Sorry, going to disagree with this. I don't agree with fat shaming AT ALL, but the truth is the obesity epidemic doesn't only affect the obese. According to Forbes, obesity now costs Americans more in health care than smoking. It's a matter of public health. From the article: "The high cost of being significantly…

I "bake" mine in the crock pot! You can also do this with white potatoes. Just wrap them in foil and leave them in the crock pot on low for 8 hours.

best post ever. thanks!

that's so awesome! congrats, well done! you look great! :smile:

That's an awesome accomplishment--congrats! You should be proud! :smile: It's such a great feeling finishing a race. I did the Color Run 5K a few weeks ago, and I'm hooked! I signed up for the Zombie Run 5K in June.

Just because no one has said anything doesn't mean that no one has noticed. Many people refrain from commenting about others' weight--even if it's to mention weight loss. It can be a touchy subject. Congrats on your 20 lb loss so far! The comments will come ... just give it time. Then you can post about how comments about…

AMAZING. Seriously. Such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!!! :flowerforyou:

YOU CAN DOOO IT! I'm 10 lbs away, and I can practically TASTE IT. :bigsmile:

love your attitude! you sound like my kinda gal. add me if you'd like!

I'm within 19 lbs now!! I have to renew by my birthday, which is in June. Maybe it'll be right on by then?? :happy:

you've made great progress. well done! :smile:

Thank you! Yep, that's me celebrating after finishing the Color Run 5K a few weeks ago. I'm doing another 5K in June - the Zombie Run. I think that pic will come out a little different than this one. :laugh:

No, it doesn't mean that you are pre-diabetic, but it does mean that you are at risk to become diabetic. Talk to your doctor!

Plan your meals for the entire week (INCLUDING the weekends) ahead of time. Pre-track your food if you need to, and STAY ON PLAN. It will suck sometimes, but you just have to stick to it and make your health a priority. That doesn't mean you can't go out or have a drink or whatever it is you want to do, but it does mean…

:huh:

Thanks, everyone! It's unreal how much younger I look in my current photo, and I'm actually 6 years younger. It's crazy what excess weight does to our bodies.

thanks, everyone!

To be ravishable. :blushing:

I TOTALLY get where you're coming from. The other day, one of my MFPals told me something along the lines of "Wow, 70 lbs? You must be so proud!" My first instinct wasn't pride; it was actually shame. I didn't feel proud to have have lost 70 lbs; I felt ashamed that I ever allowed myself to get so big to begin with. It's a…

I do occasionally find myself checking out my *kitten* in the mirror these days. :wink:

must try!

So sweet. So happy for you!!!! :heart:

You look great! Fantastic job.

This is amazing!!! You are going to do great! :happy:

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

I really don't understand why everyone is getting all butthurt about this.
