I have only got "Excuse me for staring, you're beautiful" I was so shocked/scared/perplexed, that all I said was "ok" and turned down a different isle. I didn't really take that as a compliment.

I am one of the ones that wants to hide at the gym. I love going, but preforming some of the things there can be a bit embarrassing. I see people smile at me, and I bet they are thinking the same thing all of you are saying. They want to give encouragement, but are afraid of offending. Trust me, that smile, that nod or…

What a difference! You look great!!

Wonderful work!! You're doing great!

I understand, I have had something like that happen to me before. The worse feeling is, strangers do not know what your doing, how far you have come or if you have already lost weigh. It isn't like we will wear a sign that says our acclomplishments. Strangers don't matter anyway, YOU know what your doing, that's what…

Hi Five, sister!! I was thinking there was no one even close to me! Age: 45 SW: 370 CW: 260 GW: 180 42,44, 59 Now that's a pear! :laugh:

Pizza!

Awesome!! You're hard work shows. Now do another picture in Sept to compare the year!

I'm proud of you too!! Great job!

I went in for my first OB visit when I was prego 22 years ago. Doc says, "you do realize you're fat, don't you?" All I could do was drop my jaw and stare at him.

Awww, Amy, I'm so proud of you!! You brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy to be one of your MFP friends that has watched you go through this journey. I'll still be cheering you on. You go, girl!!

Wow.... Just...Wow.

Awesome, very inspiring!

Great job! Very encouraging!

I always eat at the table. I am not comfortable eating off my lap on the couch on at a small TV tray. Hubby on the other wants nothing but TV time during dinner. I let him eat there if it's a casual dinner, and eat at the table if it's a "nicer" dinner. I think eating at them table puts you more in a mind set that pays…

You're so inspiring! I started at 370 or so, too. I have lost 110 over the last 4 years, but finding it difficult to lose the other 100 I need to lose. You're doing wonderful! Congradulations!

Frozen should be fine for smoothies. In my experience, when you thaw prefrozen, it's mushy and not as tastey, but if you freeze your own fresh strawberries, they thaw nicely and almost look as fresh. Depends on what you use them for.

Water.

Agreed, but a handsome guy playing ball with his kids, Oh yeah!

Congrats on the first 100!! I am right there with you! I have only lost 20 of my second 100 so far! Add me if you want support. I would be nice to have someone in the same boat!

Yeah, I'm not good with the ball either. My trainer at the gym had me use it, and I got dizzy and fell right into his lap. :blushing:

Add me as a friend if you would like. I have 100lb to loss. We can encourage and inspire. Jedi, you say? Hmmmm.

Great work!! Cute jeans!!

I have heard that you "should" wash before due to bateria already on your hands, and not wanting to get that on your private area, but hell, I am already doing the peepee dance when I get in there, so there is NO WAY I will wait long enough to wash before. :laugh:

Been lovin' this guy for decades! Too bad most of the pictures are little red X's for me. Add more pics PLEASE!!

how do you think it would turn out with no ketchup?

You're an inspiration! 50lb has made a huge differece! I started at about 5lbs more, same height as you. This really inspires me! Thanks for sharing!

Great job, OP!! I use to get measured at Curvse once a week, and when she would measure my abs, she would say point to your belly button. OH my, was that a stretch to reach, but now, I can without even stretching out my arm! LOL!!! :laugh:

YES! I would always prop my purse up on my belly and the steering wheel, and one day, it fell through and landed on my lap! I cried!! LOL!!

It's a toss up between Tainted Love or Jack and Diane. With either one, my 10 year old daughter hates when they come on the radio, cos it's singin' time!!
