I am glad others think like me on this. Thanks for the responses.

I wouldn't. Join the contest to lose weight. If you win it will be a bonus. The way I see it you can't lose really. Why would you voluntarily mess with your system?

Just because. I don't need to lose any more weight really and without a goal to work towards, I was getting bored.

General fitness. I am currently training for a half-marathon, but not a race. Just doing it for myself. I certain do NOT want to be a body builder if any kind.:noway: I usually do one round of 2 sets of 25 reps on every machine in my gym. (small gym about 7 machines) it takes about 30 minutes to complete that.

Honest to God, one of my biggest achievements was when I had to get my wedding set sized down. I went from a size 8 to 6.5. Now the 6.5 is too big to wear and is in my jewelry box to get resized again. I completely understand how you feel. It is awesome! Congratulations!!

I have the app on my itouch, but I haven't bought the thing for my shoe yet. And, thank you. This should be fun. :smile:

I really think this might be one of the funniest thing I have read in a while. That was awesome! Knock, Knock m'er f'er!

Thank you all so much! So many use pieces of info!

I go into a lot of detail in my success story blog. It tells of my exercise and diet. Just click on the link in my signature. (it has pictures too)

First, Thank you so much for this picture link! It is an awesome visual education tool and I am a visual learner. 2nd, thank you WifeMomDVM for all of the info you gave. I am definitely going to look into getting that book.

Um, Thanks for the info but I would never even consider logging that. According to your stats I probably burn about 100 cals a day from water. But come on. Just my opinion.

I lost 102 pounds in 8 months. It is very possible if you stick with it.

Your issue isn't with "MEN", your issue is with "YOUR man". My man is great!! Talk to your man. And btw, all men look. All women look. We have eyes. I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really get irked by jealousy.

I am 5'6 1/2. My before and after is in my blog in my signature. Feel free to just look at the pics!

Funny you say this. When I see a really nice rack on TV, I almost always point it out to my husband. I even rewind the DVR if it goes to another screen. I agree, we are married, not blind.

If it were me I would have a BIG problem with that. I get really irked by jealously. I have lost a bit as well and have also noticed that I have gotten attention that I have never gotten before. However, it just makes me smile. My husband is very proud of me and he gets happy when other guys notice me because he knows I…

When I set out I needed to lose 101 pounds. I know exactly how impossible it may seem. It is possible! Welcome and friend me if you would like.

I have lost over 100lbs and I am fortunate to have absolutely no loose skin. I lost it pretty quick to, all in about 8 months.

I could wear a bikini. My stomach is really pretty flat. I actually have muscle lines. I choose not to wear a bikini, because I couldn't find one that I found appropriate to wear as a mother of young kids. It was a personal choice.

Yessereebob!!! For the first time in my life I can wear a bathing suit and not die of embarrassment! Here is the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/256212-before-and-after-pictures-again

I usually just go all out and laugh at myself if I feel I look silly. I have really gotten into Dance Central on the Kinnect. I know I look like a complete idiot, but it is so much fun. I am very comfortable laughing at myself.

Light soups. 1 can is anywhere from 140 - 250 calories. I am not on a tight budget and I still get these because they are good. They are very inexpensive. I get 5 - 10 cans everytime I get groceries.

I get up at 0400, exercise from about 0430 - 0600, then come home and have coffee with my breakfast.

Bump

I lost 102 pounds in 8 months. I had many MANY people tell me that it was too fast. I feel fine and have maintained it for months now. In my opinion, I wouldn't listen to a trainer. I would speak with a doctor. Try not to get jumbled up in all the stats and math. That will be something that is very difficult to keep up…

I think it is awesome that you have gotten to this attitude at 23. I recently turned 30 and it took me until I was 29 to get there. Like you, I always just accepted me for me as a big person. I am on the other side now and maintaining. It can happen. Good luck!

Welcome! I sent you a friend request.

Bring healthy snacks with you to eat. Maybe it will be less tempting?

I am of two minds. If it were me: it would depend on how much extra skin I had and how much it actually bothered me. I am not a fan of elective plastic surgery. But, if I lost a couple hundred lbs and had lots of skin sagging, then I would almost consider it reconstructive. If it were my son: I would be a little more…

Amen.
