You look incredible! Fantastic job!!

Fantastic! That view is amazing! I read your blog - thanks for posting! It sounds like something I'd like to do someday.

You look incredible! Great job on all your hard work!

I totally think you should work your way to running outdoors! I love running and I love running outdoors. I think it might be a mental thing with the treadmill - I keep running but go nowhere. I hate it! I can run a couple miles outside, but struggle to run a mile on a treadmill. However, I am currently doing the C25K…

Hello, Scarlett! Welcome! I am almost exactly the same weight you are - I'm 5'3". I will send you a request - we can do this together!

You look incredible! Your story is inspiring - congrats!!

Wow! Absolutely amazing! You look freakin' fantastic!

I feel the same way. I don't have the same ED issues that you describe, but I do feel that logging calories has made me a worse person. I find it to be a burden most days and I have way to many issues with the "if every day were like today, you'd weigh __" statement, the red color that the numbers turn when you go over the…

I go to AFF too!! I spend about $89/mo for myself, my husband, and my child (to use the kidzone). they have multiple huge facilities and lots of classes. I am also thinking about going to Crossfit after I lose about 50 more pounds and my gym membership expires. That will cost around $100/mo, give or take, but I've taken an…

Congrats to you - YOU'RE A RUNNER!!! Like many others on here, I, too, have found the runner in me and cried and celebrated just the way you are now! In fact, last March I ran a 10K without stopping - it took me about 80-90 minutes, but I never stopped to walk! It was by far the best feeling in the world when I crossed…

Thanks for posting! Very interesting indeed... You can definitely see the difference between countries such as US, England, and China in comparison to developing countires, such as Chad, Mali and Equador! BUT - ponder this sarcastic quagmire: how do those carb-lovers in Italy manage to stay so thin? Hmmm... ;)

Um. Wow. That is impressive! I have five tattoos. Had a few piercings, but they didn't all agree with me and the ones that did I had to remove for work. I'm totally planning a few things..... but I have to be careful and make sure I can hide them at work. I will say I'm excited to lose some weight and show off my tats with…

You look amazing! I can't say anything that someone else hasn't already said... so, thank you. Thank you for posting. Thank you for reaching out to others and sharing your story. I'm sorry to hear of your loss - I can't imagine. But I'm glad you took the despair and used it for motivation to become healthier. I would love…

That is SO fantastic!! Congrats to you!!!

FANTASTIC!!! I imagine you are THRILLED!! You should be - keep it up and don't look back!

WOW you look incredible!!!! thanks for posting!

Fantastic job!! You look amazing!

This post is making me laugh. Like, actually laugh out loud. I love Dave Matthews!! *sigh* I would have to agree with the Proclaimers - ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE VOICES!!! And Shakira - while I like the beat, I can't get past the voice. The Tarzan-getting-punched-in-the-gut comparison was hilarious!

Wow! I'm learning a LOT on here! I've used coconut oil for a lot of recipes and I love it. I always have some on hand. But my father-in-law has had a bad heart attack and his heart doctor said he should NOT consume coconut or coconut oil (assuming b/c of the saturated fats). Never knew about the uses for coffee and skin! I…

A friend of mine did Nutrisystem and she gave me some of her food items when she had enough of the same thing all the time. They are pretty tasty, but you are right about the preservatives and sodium! I agree with what others have posted - everything in moderation. But I have to brag a bit about clean eating and what it…

God, this sounds so famliar! It is really nice to know I'm not the only one either! I do the same things all of you are mentioning. It is most definitely a compulsion, not just a simple craving. *sigh* Thanks for posting! Feel free to add me everyone! I definitely could use the support from all of you!

THANK you for posting!! A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Your story might just be what I needed to get my *kitten* in gear!

^^This! My husband has been in the Navy, lived and went to school in a different state and saw us on weekends, and now is at a 2-month training for ATC. He and I do not have seperate bedrooms, but I understand what you are going through. It is very hard to go for an extended amount of time sleeping alone and then having to…

You look absolutely amazing! Good for you!! Thanks for posting!

I run slower than you do - but I aim for distance more than speed. I want to run races and finish knowing that I ran the whole time, not how fast I ran it in. I agree with most of the other people: run where you feel good. If you push too much, you can injure yourself or give up. Feel FANTASTIC about yourself because you…

That is a great app! I totally agree with OP! Edited to add: After reading some other posts, let me state that this should NOT be the only thing you use as a tool to eat healthy. It is a fun app that gives you information about the product you scan and tells you what types of chemicals and additives you are consuming and…

You can add me!! I am currently 30 (turning 31 in July) and have about 100 lbs to lose. Lets do it!!

You look truly amazing! I am 5'3'' so it's always nice to see someone's progress that was close to my situation! I'm currently around 235... Thanks for posting! And I agree with the others - you look SO much younger!!

I have had Mirena for about 2 years and I don't like it. I haven't had problems with weight gain/loss (stayed the same) but I have had terrible mood swings and very odd periods. Some months I have a period that lasts one day, other months periods last 1 or 2 weeks. I have cramps off and on for about 2 1/2 weeks a month and…

I want MY butt to look like gold too.... Maybe $98 is considered cheap for a gold butt?? :wink:
