Yup! I gave birth to my son about 3 months ago. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I also need to keep in mind that I had a baby and my skin/stomach were stretched WAY out. Start slowly with your exercise or whatever your Dr will allow you to do. Between watching what you eat and burning off some extra calories, you…

GET IT! Well done!!! It's always inspiring to see someone who's succeeded!

I have mine set to lose half a lb a week and MFP says I should be eating over 2300 calories a day. I find I average anywhere from 1500-1800 a day and I see pretty good results.

Did you have the surgery laparoscopically? I did have some swelling afterwards, simply because you have to remember you had instruments inside of you, pulling and tugging and whatnot. I wouldn't be concerned right now.

I'm the same way. I actually like seeing how my body reacts to certain foods. It's also my own personal constant reminder to keep working hard.

I had my gallbladder removed a year and a half ago. First, I never felt better since having it taken out. I no longer have that pit in my stomach. Second, I'll echo what other posters have said : be wary of high fat foods. Since the gallbladder aids in digestion of fats, and you're removing it, you may have issues.…

I absolutely love the idea of a cheat meal! I have one about every two to three weeks. I know that one naughty meal isn't going to kill my weight loss, and that it helps those "naughty cravings" that we all get from time to time. I usually have a cheat meal for lunch though. I've noticed that I sleep better without eating…

I think Greek Yogurt tastes absolutely terrible. I don't care what you add in to or, or who you're trying to fool using it as "sour cream" - it tastes TERRIBLE. There. I said it. *WHEW* I would have done the same!

I LOVE me some "sketti" squash! I make it often. I boil it and put it in the crockpot. Here are a few recipes for you to try: *My absolute favorite* (and a BIG winner with my husband): Spaghetti squash, peppers, tomatoes, and sausage http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sausage-peppers-and-spaghetti-squash/detail.aspx and this one…

I actually had a co-irker compliment my weight loss. She asked what I was doing and I replied diet and exercise. What was her response? "That doesn't work." :\

I'm totally in!

You look amazeballs! Congratulations on your success!

Why pay the money? I love the idea of veggies as a snack - but you can do the same thing for WAY cheaper than their boxed version.

Our vegetable oil spray - a serving size is 1/8 second of spray. How the hell do you spray for only 1/8 of a second??

LOVE their Mahi-mahi burgers. I always buy those, the $.19/lb bananas (best price ever!), they have a white fish with pesto and veggies that's a great dinner, turkey burgers, hummus..... I'm going to have to try their seaweed snacks!

I would suggest going to a professional and getting a fit done. You may need a specialty size. I know Macy's has fit specialists.

I'm a huge yoga fan. I have been able to stretch better, run more, have better balance, and so much more - because of yoga. It's very refreshing, and a great addition to my weekly routine.

Amaze-balls! Well done!

Bake thin-sliced chicken with pesto on top at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Add (a small amount) fresh mozzarella on top and pop back in the oven for a few more minutes. Best sides - fresh steamed broccoli and cauliflower! Low cal and flavorful!

Read my ticker - it says it all.

I met my husband on POF. I tried a few dating services, mostly because my work schedule stunk and I never was able to go out with friends nearly as much as I wanted to. Online dating allowed me to at least talk to guys online, and I had the choice of meeting them if I chose to. I will say this - I tried again and again and…

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on your success! You deserve to feel so proud of yourself - your efforts really show! Keep up the great work!

Absolutely amazing and inspirational! I hope your message touches others and inspires them to live a healthier life. I truly hope you get to reconnect with your friend again. People come in to our lives when we most need them, and hopefully fate will be kind.

My husband saw a big difference about two weeks ago. My coworkers also have started to comment on noticing the weight loss! It feels great to have family and friends notice my efforts.

You look terrific! Congratulations on all your hard work - it certainly shows!

So trying this on Sunday!

Macy's for all of the above.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "That being said, no one here can do it for you. Not on this website, not your friends, not even your family. At the end of the day, each and every day, you're accountable for you. Make the decisions that you need to make, or don't. If you want to be healthy, you can. You just have to be an active…
