Keep up the awesome work!

Steamed Egg (It is the same as boiled really, but you steam instead of boil in water) Pancakes with syrup and strawberries. Oolong tea

I so wanted to do the ice cream cleanse, and it made me try gelato. I would be in for this, but it be almost the same thing every day ^_^ Looking forward to the yummies ahead.

Awesomesauce. :flowerforyou:

Never mind, just noticed this was from Dec 2012!! I feel silly :sad:

I am 5'6', but my oldest son says he sees me no different than before. I have lost 48lbs since Oct 2013 (been taking my time) and he like I can see it a little bit. Ahh, I love that kid. Not sure when my husband noticed, but my mother-in-law mentioned it after 10 or 20lbs gone. She was just trying to be polite due to my…

Awesome!!!

Pu-erh does have a strong taste, depending on type. I hated the stuff I tried before and shy away from it until I found the tea store I love. It is my morning tea now and I love it. I use loose leaf versus the cakes and I do not buy tea market at weight lost. I just wanted to try out all the teas and I like pu-erh over…

I drink all kinds of tea, mainly unsweetened unless I am sick. Honey and lemon is great for my sore throat. I use fresh ginger when I have a tummy ache. I order loose leaf tea online. I have gone to many different places before I found the place I love. I drink green, white, oolong, pu-erh, barely, and herbals. Just…

Congrats!

Need the kitten pic with the love this thread so much! Before/After pics (No matter how small or how big, you guys all rock!) Diary (Gosh I always get good ideas from "spying" on others ^_^ ) Inspiration (Seeing others do things makes me want to try it out) Awesomesauce :drinker:

Keep up the good work. You look awesome. :flowerforyou:

Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

No, weight does not matter. Each person is soo different. The scale does not make us. Congrats, you look wonderful! :flowerforyou:

My favs are opal apples and cameo apples, personally organic version are the best.

Really, everyone is different. I do think if you are not losing to look at your intake/outtake first. Make sure you are logging correctly. After maybe up your cals for a day or two and than lower and see how that goes. I see many people have cheat days and it seems to work for them. I upped my cals/exercises and yes I am…

Congrats! :flowerforyou:

Wow, what a hot topic. :indifferent: Putting your relationship aside, because really, this is just to much. Weight loss, no, it is not easy, but you have to do it, no one else can do it for you. You need to make a life change. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and it is great you can handle it. If you really want…

Sounds like you have it covered better now OP. I also suggest more natural methods like other posters have posted versus the meds route. As far as bulking up, why not take pics of your self and compare. This way it gives you a better light on your looks too. Love yourself!! Good luck. :flowerforyou:

You have gotten a lot of great advice. I understand how you feel and it is not easy. One thing, you have to make a life change for yourself, that you can keep up with. This means when the next time your stressed, you move, or something changes, you can still work around that change and keep up with your weight/fitness…

Awesome work!! :flowerforyou:

A good part of my cals is evening snacks. On high cal days, it is all mainly snacks. Depending on when I eat dinner, depends on how much I need at night. I am going to try to limit my snacks and try for better snacks. I want to give more cals to other meals, but I can not cut out my snacks. :( Good luck to you!

Cinnamon Disc hard candies. The are the only thing I have yet to over come. Tried again over the last two days, they still won. Nothing else, but all food is a danger zone when I am tired and stressed out. I am a work in progress.

Thank you for the inspiration!

Such a sweet NSV story! :flowerforyou:

What happens when your hair turns gray? Is he going to switch you out for a perfect model? He is not always going to be hot stuff either. If he is asking how he looks to you, I would say he has low self confidence like another poster mentioned. I really do not have much advice, but glad to know you love yourself. Might be…

I am not great at this, but let me see if I can help out. I see you logging cleaning and cooking for exercise, so it bring your extra cals up really high. From my understanding, the sedentary setting on MFP does include some daily activity, like cleaning, getting dress, etc. I would set it to the sedentary setting at about…

Way to go on your hard work. I am looking forward to lifting :smile:

Congrats!! You look great.

Gorgeous! :love: Thank you so much for sharing your story!! :flowerforyou:
