I go in 10 pound increments. I reward myself by buying a piece of the depression glass pattern I collect off ebay. When I get to goal I'm going to buy the milk pitcher, which is the most expensive item in the set.

I went from a B to a training bra. Now, since there is nothing for the bra band to catch on to stay in place, I don't bother wearing one. They are a bit flabbier and saggier, but pretty much the same just way smaller. Keep in mind that I'm 49 years old. I'm sure yours will be just fine.

I'll have to admit a weight loss transgression here. I'm addicted to diet Mtn Dew to the point that I drink 8-10 a day. I never drink water and know I should switch over and lay off the soda. However, I'm so addicted the thought of that frightens me a bit.

Frozen peas and carrots and Brussel sprouts. I boil the Brussel sprouts in water, which has bean seasoned, then drizzle a little Campbells cheese soup, which is mixed with water not milk, over them. I add Cajun seasoning and pepper to the cheese soup. The peas and carrots I put in a casserole dish, put in a couple…

Even at my fattest I wouldn't eat oreos. The cream part tasted like pure Crisco to me. Left a greasy slime in my mouth too. I'm on a med that takes my entire sense of taste away. You'd think that would keep me from eating things that are bad for me, but it doesn't.

You may want to try smoking opiates both pre and post workout. It does a body good.

My girls size 12 jeans. They used to fit me. Now I'm in a girls 14 and that is unacceptable. I've gained 11 pounds in the past 2.5 months because I've been eating horribly. Like 500-600 over my limit a day on average. I'm within the normal range on weight and still will be when I get to goal, I'm just a small person. 5' 0"…

I even brought a scale to work and weigh when I feel I need to. It's an obsession and I don't like it much.

Break it up, put dish soap over the crumbs, and toss it out. No need to eat it just because it's there. Especially if you are trying to get healthy.

Just about every day. Mostly fast food. If it wasn't that it was something like Ravioli, pancakes, french toast and the like. My mother stopped working when I was about 16 then we ate at home instead.

Unfortunately I have vicious insomnia and rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep. Even so I only sleep about 4-5 hours a night. This also makes it nearly impossible for me to nap even if I'm tired. My husband naps every chance he gets. So does my youngest son. Be happy that you are able to nap and take as many as you need.…

Off subject here. I never let my kids have soda either. I was always appalled when I saw a toddler with a bottle full of Mtn Dew or other sodas. They were bound to be hyper and addicted to caffeine. What a shame.

Please, don't give up. You can do it. Check out the stats on a gastric band - they aren't that great. You can eat around a band and either gain any weight you lost in the beginning back or not lose much. A lot of people learn they can eat "slider foods" that would include chocolates, which melts to liquid in the mouth,…

I've posted about this before so if it's a repeat for some please forgive, I'm trying to help the op. I too had/have a sugar addiction. This went on for years and my diet consisted of mostly sweets. I would sometime think to myself that I hadn't eaten real food for weeks. Just junk. Because of this I became malnourished…

Having to have my husband put my shoes and socks on for me. Going up stairs putting me out of breath then coming down sideways one foot at a time always being afraid I'd fall. Isolating myself and not leaving my house unless I absolutely had to. Eating so poorly for so long I became malnourished and had to be hospitalized.…

When I started the eliptical I lasted a whole two minutes now I'm up to 10 minutes. Don't worry about not being able to do it or stay on long. Any time on it is better than not doing it at all. I know you can do it.

No way. They looked terrible and made me look fatter than I really am. I put them all in trash bags and threw them away. Felt good to do that especially my huge underwear. ( I didn't donate them because a good percent, probably 90%, of them were either worn out, ripped, or stained down the front the rest were just ugly and…

Kelly "You're looking good and doesn't it feel great to be called skinny for the first time in your life?"

I agree that muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound no matter what it's made of. Fat just takes up more space on your body than muscles do. Like a pound of butter, which is solid like a muscle, to a pound of say cool whip, which is fluffy and would take up more space. Of course, there are two schools of…

I live in jeans and don't even own a pair of dress pants or sweat pants. I only wore jeans when I was 140 pounds overweight too. I'm sure you all look fine in jeans. As for those who find them uncomfortable that's a different story. Don't be so hard on yourselves.

When I used to get hungover there is no way I could have worked out. Since everyone is saying they feel better maybe that is the answer.

My face, hair, and eyes. Most especially my eyes. (Now I feel conceited.)

There's an Aldi's 15 miles away and in the town I work in, but I never go. I'm going to start shopping there permanently. Thanks for the less expensive meal ideas too. I'm going to have to pick up a crock pot too.

I have to think it's seeing the prices on all that processed junk food. They've been gone for two months and I never bought a bit of that stuff while they were gone. My grocery bill has doubled since they got here. My other bills will go up too. For some reason they think it's a good idea to put a window fan in the window…

False. Tried pretty much anything in my younger life. That's why I'm in recovery from alcoholism/addiction. I've never painted a room in my home true red.

Birthday cake with butter creme frosting and vanilla ice cream on it. I'll never give it up.

31 years here. If something ever happened to him I'd stay alone the rest of my life because no one could ever live up to him.

I have a thigh gap and am happy with it. I also wear a girls 12 pants and medium tops. I don't think I'd like it if I lost my gap.

Feathered hair, Candies high heal shoes, lots of hairspray, blue eyeshadow, super tight Levis, tons of partying.
