2009 = 279 lbs / 2011 = about 215 / 2013 = 169

I'm 5'1 and a half (lol) at my heaviest (non pregnant) weight I was 279. The middle pic I was about 215 from diet, really no exercise yet and the last pic I'm 169 and that was just Wednesday. :)

279 lbs, about 215 & 169

Why is it that my taste buds don't like any of those foods where the plate is over flowing?!?!?

How twistedly appealing. Seeing as how I'm nearly always barefoot (I have no shoes on right now), as soon as I walk in my door I take my shoes off (sometimes I'm outside without shoes too, don't tell hubby, it freaks him out. lol) and my guests behind me will start to take off their shoes too, like they think we don't wear…

I am new to running (and unable to run right now due to surgery) but when I run on my treadmill I prefer being barefoot or having just socks on. I recently bought a pair of running shoes to jog to the gym and had to take them back because they were hurting me all over (toes and backs of my heels). I ended up getting a…

^^^ this!

I did a variation of this. Angel food cake, 1 can crushed pineapple, bake. Then I made a FF whip cream icing and added sliced strawberries to the top/

That's my thinking too (not to log it), although admittedly I don't get as crazy as you about cleaning. Is your house really that dirty? I don't log housework, laundry, sex. Honestly I wouldn't log mowing the lawn, washing the cars or picking weeds if I just decided to do that for hubby either. But that's just me. Before…

Well its on the internet so it must be legit!

If I eat it, I log it. It counts.

I eat about half of my burned calories back just because you can get so many different readings on how many calories are burned doing a specific exercise. So to be on the safe side I just eat back half. Its working for me.

Why not just multiply it by 5 to get the total for the whole pizza & then divide that number by however many slices you cut it into?

I wish I could join this but with surgery this Friday & not being able to exercise for approximately 8 weeks, :grumble: , I wouldn't be able to contribute much. I just recently started running a couple of months ago, wanted to see if I could run a mile and I did. 15 minutes. I'm down to about a 12 minute mile now. Today I…

I agree with the prepared / unprepared for mixes because you can add different ingredients like for the cake mix you could do the soda cake instead of the oil & eggs and whatnot.

What I love is how much of a difference there is between cooked & un cooked weights. (I weigh everything on my food scale) I understand that they don't know how you're going to cook something (tater tots for instance) but it kinda seems unreasonable to weigh out, section off and bake each serving separately for a family of…

I didn't even know that I could just open it up to my friends... its open to them now. Like hiding it from them would benefit me somehow... it has the same benefit as not logging it at all. :bigsmile:

I was having a problem with squats hurting my knees (especially my left one, that one has given my trouble going down stairs as well) and when I talked to the owner of the gym he said my form was off. He had me lightly hold on to a bar (that didn't move) and push my butt out and sit back like I was going to sit in a chair.…

Salma Hayek & Kat Dennings va va va vooooom!

Its gotta be better than the duckface! :laugh:

Ok I'm sorry but your pic looks so perfect, like a masingil commercial! :laugh:

I've been using the free version of runtastic for a while now. Seems like on some things (especially running on a treadmill) it estimates high. I've used it for walking the neighborhood and jogging to the gym, oh and hiking. I get so many different numbers (MFP #'s, HRM #'s, runtastic, health discovery calorie burn…

I run / jog while my husband walks fast (I'm 5'1, he's 6'), I always stay within his sight and I don't run at night unless I am VERY close to him.

I wasn't trying to at all, I was asking a question, like is there a purpose for them. If the OP is using them as a gauge to her success then absolutely congrats, I was just wondering if there was anything more to them.

They're genetic, toned abs aren't... who's being silly now! Oh and my back is nowhere near toned and I have them! :wink:

I don't know what the big deal is... I had them and they're coming back but why do people like them? Mine honestly hurt if I'm rough housing and somebody pushes them accidentally.

One refill is more that what is expected??? Yah I'm not going to tell the server that they need to be ready with refills because I drink more than normal people when I only get one refill. :noway:

Yay :) (his coworkers liked the lemon cake with creamcheese / whip cream icing and they all want me to open a bakery because I send him to work every other Friday with my baking left overs. lol)

I've really come out of my shell. I used to be a bit of a trash talker but really had no experience to back any of it up as my mom was VERY strict and didn't allow me out of the castle... uh er, house very much. I really feel like in high school I wasn't anywhere near as awesome as I am now. Lovin' life!
