Congrats!! and love the one with your arms in the dress, lol. So awesome, thanks for sharing! I'm in a "need some help with motivation" day and love seeing stories like yours!

A: AMAZING!!! You look fabulous and I'm pretty sure you've already reached badassery! B: I just scrolled through 3 pages of comments for the love of the GIFs!!! C: Love the hair, sassy and badassery in one cute little cut. Congrats and thanks for sharing! Makes me want to go lift something... and learn how to add GIFs... ;)

Thanks for sharing your story and all the tips! Love them! Congrats and wishing you continued success in your healthy journey!!

Oooo, tell me how you like that! I've been thinking about T25 myself because my work schedule and with 3 kids, it seems like a better fit for me, but afraid of spending that kind of money if I won't like it haha. You can do this!!!

Ok, so here's what I have to say about this thread and reading your own comments OP... I think if you obsess over daily pics and several times a day weighing, you will make yourself quit! I will admit to you that in the beginning I was THE SAME WAY and almost quit several times. I didn't see the changes in myself even with…

Woohoo well done! And love the outfits. Great job!!

Yay for NSVs! I too have slacked a little the past few months off and on, but today my soon-to-be-stepdaughter found my old driver's license that I had copied for something, and she picked up the photocopy and her and her brother both said "wow, you look so different!" and she high-fived me. :)

My two cents: I think THEY are the ones with the image issues.... they weren't happy when you were 17 and this weight, and they aren't happy with you now at this weight...but the question is are YOU happy? If they are that blatant to "take a stand" and talk behind your back on how they think you should look, then do they…

Thanks!!! :)

lol yeah its part of why I'm going back and forth about it, but only part of the reason. My fiance would see me in it at some point, so it wouldn't go completely unseen lol. maybe.... haha

:)

My stretch marks is pretty much why I figured when I get to my goal I will not be able to wear a bikini, but someone else also mentioned a tankini, so that's definitely a good idea! Unfortunately my backyard is wide open to 3 other houses by the layout, so I doubt I would even wear it there, lol, but I like the idea for a…

Heyyyyy, that's actually a good idea! :) Thanks. :)

For the record, I can barely even do a pushup with my body weight, I can't go down all the way because I'm that weak, but I can do a few almost all the way down... and I worked up to that, lol. I want to improve my body, my health, my strength... :) Seeing all you ladies is so inspiring, I dont think you realize how much I…

OMG I just peeked at your profile, great job you!! :) Thanks, I will admit, just doing hand weights, lunges/squats, push-ups and burpees I'm starting to see some definition in my arms, something I've never had before, and I find myself flexing a lot ;) hehe... that alone is empowering so just thinking of the idea of…

Thank you for all that info! I appreciate it so much!

Yes, I've been doing my homework and trying to learn about this! Thanks!! :)

Oooo, good luck! :) Thanks!

Thanks for this!! I've been doing lunges/squats and went from flat butt to hey, I have a bit of a round *kitten* now, woohooo, the fiance likes... and recently started doing them with hand-weights (started with 3 lbs in each hand, then 5 lbs, now on 8 lbs) and seeing awesome results, and to be honest, before my plateau…

Thank you all so much for sharing/posting and your advice!!! You all are amazing and an inspiration!! I truly appreciate everyone's input and might I say many of you have these guys second guessing that myth!! I love the other links and they helped out, also some of those links have lead to me find other helpful…

Pshhh, I couldn't even wear one outside in front of my own kids lol. I get self-conscious about my belly area, been asked way too many times how far along am I.... I haven't been pregnant since 2001. lol and I wish I was on a beach right now, even at my heaviest I still loved the beach and didn't let my weight keep me from…

lol, maybe you should wear in public, ya never know... Jim Carrey did something similar, and it looked so awesome people took pics and put it online! ;)

Yay, I'm not the only one who has wanted to do this! :) I am the same way, I lost originally 32, but hit a plateau and then got derailed (won't go into the excuses) and am trying to get re-motivated and while my profile pic I added to help me see what I've done so far, I want to see better progress so I can help keep me…

I don't think I'd ever be that comfortable, lol... and I haven't had a tan line worth hating because I rarely go to the beach anymore as I moved to a small town not near a coastal area....but I do have a trip summer 2015 planned to go visit my family in California to plan ahead for...... but, I have to admit, my fiance is…

Isn't that the truth about the pampering! Since starting my weight loss, I never realized how frumpy I let myself go, I bought my first pair of leggings and was comfortable wearing them in public this past winter/fall, I always wore baggy pants before that, and I've found myself wanting to wear makeup and doing my nails...…

True! Thanks! :)

That's what I'm hoping is the feeling of seeing the progress shots, though not sure I'd post myself in a bikini online to anyone either, lol. I honestly wouldn't even know what a goal size would be, I've been a smallest an 18 since I was in my mid 20s, my biggest was a size 24... the idea makes me excited to see progress…

That's where I am about knowing I'd probably never wear one in public, at least not confidently because of my terrible stretch marks, but the idea of having it as a gauge interests me for sure! Thanks for your input! :)

bump for future reference.. unfortunately my belly was hanging before I got started with all the fat, so I fear I may be a lost hope in the belly area, but I've decided already (mostly because I have this stupidly odd fear of needles let alone surgery) that once I reach my goal weight, I will see if I can maintain for at…

Love the freezing idea! Thanks for that tip and the soup sounds delish! I have never made homemade soup before but after reading this I think I might give it a go since I happen to love soup and no one else in the house does unless its accompanied by tons of grilled cheese sandwiches, meh, but the freezing idea is AWESOME…
