1) Having permission from my Hubby to buy a new wardrobe with no questions asked by my size 18 stuff now hangs off me! 2) buying clothes in stores I couldnt pour myself into previously i.e) The Gap, into a size 16 at Old Navy 3) Being able to push out a 6 km run when last year I could barely run 1 minute straight!

Good Views people! I really enjoy being able to eat food and tracking it. I do have a plan and it seems to work. I was using IF as well.. didnt do anything for me. However, I have really low blood sugar already so it didnt help me much. I just cannot handle listening to one more person saying Try this try that and then…

Thank you for this post!! I appreciate someone taking the time to sit down and call everyone out on things. I know WE ALL have one of these we've been accused about ;)

Hey there! I started my journey ( before mfp as I didnt know about this awesome place) a year and 3 months ago at a very large end of the size 20. I am now a size 16 and always up for supporting and have support from other ladies! This is definitely a tough battle!

Good work!! Nice to see how you and your friend did so well!!

Wonderful work!! Thanks for the inspiration!

I agree. Do you're best to stay true to your goals. As hard as this is sometimes it means saying No to people who for some reason get offended by the silliest things!

Thanks for this! I cannot wait to start!

1) To get BIG Muscles on a woman.. you would have to push heavy weights and drop your body fat by A LOT. We don't have the testosterone that men do to naturally build muscle at the rate they do. 2) Take a look at www.livestrong.com LOTS of advice there for women and weights. I squat 150 lbs and bench 100 lbs and dont have…

What a wonderful change in your life! Good work!

You look wonderful! Way to go!

Congrats on the hard work and success! Look wonderful!

Way to go!! You look wonderful!

1) Just because she doesnt change her name or wear a ring .. does NOT mean she isnt committed to your marriage. I do believe you need to sit back and look at all the ways she DOES show she commits to your marriage. I do neither as well however I am very committed to our marriage. A name nor ring will solidify a…

Good job! I love how you mentioned that 14/16 isnt an OMG Im going to die size but for you, it was unhealthy and you wanted change! I love when people change thier lives for health and not just for "appearances" You did wonderful! Good work!

Ive stopped hanging out with people who are sabatoging. I have a dear friend or I had once thought of them as that, who got really testy bc I prefered to go to the gym then go help her "parent" her twins one evening when her hubby was out. Well Dearie.. I have twins and raise them easily without you.. however I dont have…

Thanks everyone! And thanks so much LOVE for getting that picture to post for me!

You look fantastic! Good Work!

Heck yeah I see a difference! Your face not only is slimmer but look at the change in smiles! You definitely must be feeling good about yourself when we see smiles like that! Good work!

My rules would include: If someones set up a machine to use it for what its meant for.. do not remove their weights and use it for a different exercise that has its own machines.. all of which are open. If you have to throw a weight on the floor.. grow up and stop lifting what you can't put away safely. I would also hire a…

I've got a 5 km in May, 5 Km in June, 10 km in July, 2 - 5 kms in August and a 10 km in September.. Now to drop some weight so it doesnt take me a year to run them!..lol Good luck to everyone!:bigsmile:

:smile: Im here as well! And trying to be as active in the community as possible

Best wishes!! I know that Part One is a biotch! I ran the PARE when trying out for the RCMP 6 years ago and missed it by 10 seconds and thought I was going to die!! I was given another chance because they were on a huge hiring for women, and for that reason I didnt go back..lol I was kind of stubborn!! You're going to KICK…
