I am also rededicating myself!! I'm 5'3" and 235. Lets do it!!

I loved seeing Apocalyptica! AMAZING performers!! I always loved seeing Shinedown... became a fan of In This Moment once I saw them in concert - great show! DMB was great too - going to see them again in a week! Will be seeing Billy Joel in a week as well... I heard his shows are pretty fantastic, too!

Absolutely amazing!! Great job - and it's nice to hear your honesty about everything! Thank you for posting your story and photos.

WOW! I can't really say much more than that! You look fantastic - congrats on baby #3! You've been through a lot and still came out on top - good for you!!

Fantastic work! I was looking for a story to inspire me and I found yours - thank you for posting!

How about: "I'm really sick. Like, I have explosive diarrhea and can't make it to work" I've heard the snow one too - except this guy called in for three days... when it only snowed about an inch. He was the ONLY PERSON out of 140+ employees that called out days 2 and 3. He even showed pictures of his driveway, which was…

I agree! I wanted one for years, but only recently found that we were in a good position to get one. Now that we have her, it is amazing! Lots of work to train a puppy, but her kisses and funny face make it totally worth it!

Yay for PICKLES!! It makes a great dog name!

Holy lord!! I used to have a Vietnamese Potbellied Pig and LOVED her!! I adore that picture!!

Me too!! I have a female English Bulldog we named Pickles and a cat named Wonder Woman.

I am incredibly impressed by all that you've been able to accomplish! I would like to thank you for sharing as much information as you did - that is amazing work! It sounds like you worked REALLY hard to get there and didn't rely on excuses! Good for you! You have provided a very inspiring story!

Wow! That is extremely impressive!! Good for you!!

You ROCK!!! That is amazing and you should be INCREDIBLY proud of yourself!!

You guys are all SO amazing!! I've been on MFP for awhile now, but never kept with it so I haven't gotten anywhere. Looking forward to the day I can post a success story much like all of yours! Glad this thread was started - I'll be looking at it again and again for motivation in the coming weeks!! You guys ROCK! :smokin:

I was PISSED at my husband for buying a Vitamix (so much money for a damn blender)... but then I used it. For EVERYTHING. I'm not mad anymore. :happy:

I'd like to add something different here: I might be one of those people you are talking about. I've tried lots of things in the past that were supposed to be "quick fixes." I'm always the fat girl asking others how they did it. However, I've never once said anything like "oh, I don't want to do that" or "that is too much…

Amazing job! I "met" you on here when you were starting out and you have come SO far! I am SO proud of you for all that you accomplish! Even when you had bad days, you didn't let that affect the rest of your week or month. You picked up and moved on. You look fabulous and deserve to feel incredible! I'm jealous AND…

You look amazing!! congrats on all your hard work!

Hey! I just joined. My goal for the week is twofold - I want to exercise at least four days this week AND eat healthy. I usually either eat healthy and don't meet my exercise goals or I meet my exercise goals and not my healthy eating goals. To get there, I plan on meeting with my trainer at least once, logging all of my…

While I highly disagree with the statements in your posted article, I DO think weights is an essential part of buring calories and shaping your body. FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I burn less calories doing one hour of weights than I do an hour of jogging, BUT building muscle means you have a longer calorie burn throughout the…

Fantastic news!! Congrats on everything - the weight loss for both you and your hubby AND the baby news! Hope you get to enjoy your pregnancy!!

I know how hard that can be - congrats!! You totally rock!

I'm glad you are making the right choices and taking control of your life. Great job on everything. Keep up all the good work! Thank you for taking the time to post and share your story!

You look amazing! Your hard work definitely paid off - congrats on looking so damn fabulous!!
