Wow, I can tell how much my tastes have changed since all the veggie salads, soups, etc are what's making my mouth water! lol

This sounds soooo good! I'll have to try it.
-
Right. lol I have also read that drinking enough water and slathering on good moisturizing lotion helps too. So does getting massages. ;)

I know what you mean about being obsessed with this site. I am too and even my boyfriend gets a little annoyed with how much I'm on it sometimes. Lol

Oh, and another thing I have to add. I recently was reading the Mayo Clinic Diet book and it actually recommended that for my weight range I should be eating 1400 cals. That seems way too low to me, but the Mayo Clinic is pretty legit. So I don't see how eating my MPF calories could be too little.

I started at about 270 (5'7 1/2) and have lost 17 lbs so far. I DEFINITELY notice, especially because my clothes are fitting differently and my tummy isn't as humungous as it was before. No one at work has really said anything, but that could be because they probably don't constantly pay attention to how I look. My…

This is VERY inspiring to me, since I have very similar stats and weight loss goals! Thank you so much for posting! =)
-
Actually have lost 10 lbs altogether since the 1st! =) Just started logging on Christmas Day, actually.
-
He must have found some of your lost weight! Haha! But yeah, I second this. My parents may not have supported the formation of great eating and exercise habits, but from a young age I've made choices to overeat and be lazy and that is completely on me. Yes, sometimes you do want to make excuses that you ate the wrong…

Thanks for the tips everyone! I've been reading online about how to reduce the risks of excess skin and help with the stretch marks. I know they will never go away. I just want them to be less noticable. So lotion, oil, massage, strength training, water, and exfoliation it is! =)
-
I need to start getting weekly massages anyway! I also heard that getting massages will help with the loose skin prevention. But YEAH RIGHT like I can afford a weekly massage! In my dreams, maybe! lol Of course if I started practicing again I could probably trade with my cousin...

That's totally not silly! It is awesome! Congrats! =)
-
Great job! You look awesome!
-
Nice! I bet that felt good!
-
Nice! Go girl! My NSV from today is that I wore a shirt that I usually wear, but before had to continuously tug down so my gut wouldn't hang out. No problems with that now. That's actually the case for a few other tops that I had that problem with for a while. Woohoo! And another, I will be topping my personal best in…
-
Yes, I can see a definite difference, as well. Congrats!

You're definitely right!

I've been wondering the same thing. Some people are believers in NEVER eating them back, but since the calorie equation IS input vs. output, if you're outputting more you can afford to input more and still lose. That being said, like others, I judge by how hungry I am or if I feel like treating myself to a little extra,…

Thanks guys. I wish I had a bread maker. Maybe I'll invest in one when I'm at that point. I imagine it's even cheaper to make bread at home than buy it at the store. I really don't like store bread that much. Bakery bread is always so much better.
-
Haha! Interesting idea. WAY overpriced, though. I have to often remind myself to slow down when eating, as it is not like most other tasks that I just want to "get over with." But sometimes a reminder would help, like my grandma sitting across from me saying "Slowww down! Chew your food and enjoy it." like she does every…
-
Congrats on working your way down! You look great! Keep it up! This inspires me.
-
Like everyone else has said, this must be a pretty common thing. Maybe it is a form of denial or something else, but I have the same issue. I definitely look worse in pics than what I think I do when I look in the mirror. Then again, I also don't honestly think I look horribly huge for the weight that I am (258.5…

You do owe it to yourself and your son and that's the best realization and inspiration to have! Just focus on the journey, not the destination. Every step, forward or backward, will grow you and teach you.

That sounds really really yummy.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/expert.q.a/04/10/water.losing.weight.jampolis/index.html So basically it seems that while, yes, there is no scientific evidence backing up the 8 glasses thing, there is much evidence that drinking more water can help you lose weight, and drinking water when you're thirsty is MUCH better than…

Haha, so was I. I guess I've lost a cat so far! lol
-
I saw that at the grocery store. OH WOW! It'll save you what? 30 seconds? Oh my gosh! I can never cut a banana into perfectly equal slices!....Seems silly to me but I guess if you're making a big batch of fruit salad or banana chips it'd be nice.

Good job, everyone! This pics definitely give me a lot of inspiration and motivation! Thanks!
