Booyah. Sweet success. Inspired me. Last year I lost 110. Well, I took a month off, and gained about 12 of those lbs back. I decided today that I must get serious again. Thanks for your story, and more importantly for that picture you took on your "hit my goal day". I realized how I need my stomach to look again. These…

I do the same. That is why I refuse to buy dried fruits (mangos, cherrys, etc.), because I will eat the whole gosh darn bag in a sitting. I do the same with trail mix. It no longer is a healthy snack. It becomes a meal.... six meals at one time.

It should be a crime to tempt us like this. These gold mines look delish. Sour cream and all. Yum.

I lost 107 lbs (or so.. i havent updated weight) in about 10 months. I have kept the weight off now for one year. I did it by eating right and working out. No magic pill, etc. Two things I vowed to never give up: 1) caffeine of all sorts 2) cereal I would drink monster absolute zero, starbucks, etc. I did not drink diet…

did you really post someones picture on here, and talk bad about them? scandal.

ah- mazing.

5'8. 149 lbs. Would like to lose 4 more lbs.

booyah. I admire your laid back attitude. I was totally obssessed. You were successful at it too. Love it! Congrats. I tip my hat to you. P. S. I love your hair!

I find myself snacking on bite size candy bars. Although, I usually have more than tthree at a time, thus making it not really snack size. Anywho, when I was really trying to lose weight I would not have touched those goodnesses, but now-- ehhh, I eat them about once a day. I am just maintaining though (maintaining with…

enchilades freeze well. and have the potential to be made healthy.....

everyday. sometimes (most of the time) three times a day. yep. helps me to gauge exactly where I am at. helped me lose 107 lbs in 8 1/2 months. helped me keep it off for 4 months and counting....

you need to get yourself some form fitting gear. these clothes are WAY to baggy. :-)

i totally feel you with the gap. i am accomplished, I have a gap. I mean, I have alot of other things too. But, I have a gap, and it feels great-- especially when for years, my knees touched, not to mention the rest of my legs. I got it by running, and squating, and spinning. you can do it.

love the BIG pictures. wait, is saying "BIG" on here a sin? lol, love ya friend! I dont know what to say, other than you are a beautiful, amazing person. Both inside and out. You are my friend. And I am your biggest fan.

I am totally with you. When I go shopping with my mom she always laughs because I will only buy fitted clothes. Darn straight. You know how hard i worked to wear a size small or medium. Actually today, I am in an extra small shirt. It is sized wrong, must be, but still i will take it.

EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. Spoken like a true fat girl.

not sure if these is an option..... NONE. not one thing of take out chinese is "healthy". I mean if you are going to go to a chinese sit down place than perhaps you can ask for special cooking, but, if you are going to your typical chinese take out, there is not one thing (besides the veggies) that is healthy. If the…

P. S. Are any of you in maintenance finding yourself getting hungry more often? I dont know if it is a mental thing or what, but for the past few days I feel like eating like a growing baby hippo does.

I will try to make this snappy. My situation may be a bit different than others. I wanted to lose (at least) 100 lbs before school. I started trying to lose in January, and wahlah by September 23 I met my goal. I knew that when I started school again, I would not be able to maintain the vigorous workouts I had been doing.…

Ok im in maintenance, and have been maintaining the same weight for about a month. I would love to respond and will do so early tom. Morning. :)

I never EVER eat them back. Im just sayin.... Hehe cindy :)

oh lord, i forgot about the chips. the salty, hint of lime goodness.

chipotle is my splurge. I get the veggie burrito. It comes with globs of goodies. It is my fav place to eat, by far. Well, my fav place that I CAN eat. I dont get sour cream or cheese though. But i do get the gucamole. It is free on the veggie items.

sweet .

lol, thats how I felt. :-}

While all of my friends have encouraged and inspired me in their own ways... there are a few that have left a great impression on me. 1) keeponkickin- she is more than my MFP she is my friend (that I found on here). And a true friend. I <3 her. 2) Mooosee3 She taught me that I can run. She is a runner. She is my East Coast…

Oh wow! How sweet. Sometimes I feel like no one is watching. You inspire me. Thank you for this note. It means more to me than you know. I was surprised when I saw my name. Totally unexpected.

One more thing, I got carried away with your wonderful comment about rude people. I love dried fruit, but i found out the hard way that it is not healthy. I bought a bag of it at Costco, and couldnt stop eating it. I thought it was good. Just dried fruit right? Wrong. When I read up on it, it actually had a ton of added…

I never count fruit/ veggie sugar. Just the unnatural junk (that I love). My fav part of this post was the last part. Girl, this site is full of rude people. Sad to say. They will tear you up if you let them. Maybe they have just left a bad taste in my mouth. There are some goodies though- more than some. However, the bad…

I like yogurt, but I wont eat it bc of the sugar. to me, 16 grams is a lot. I would rather have a latte from starbucks or something.
