I developed the self confidence to not allow myself to settle for what is easily obtainable. I dumped the only person that I thought would ever love me/be attracted to me because of my size. I got a tattoo on my hip. I joined the volunteer fire department and out fought a lot of the guys during one of our busiest wildland…

1. In matters of love and health NEVER SETTLE 2. Ellie will make a good accountability buddy, talk to her. 3. Start drinking your green tea in the morning instead of the Coke Zero. Trust me. 4. Don't get the chopped salad at Subway with steak... It looks like dog food and the view will likely make you gag. 5. Don't…

Awesome accomplishment!! Way to go!!

This.. Plus salty foods.. Chips, pasta, etc... I'm a carb addict, which is so not good.

Request sent :) Encouraging words are always a good thing!

My reward for 20 lbs lost is going to be a pedicure... I'm saving money now, so that I can afford it. What about a night out with a friend or 2? No kids, just got hang out and laugh?

Hey!! Name twin here!! I'm Sammie, 24, and trying to lose 100+ pounds. I'm pretty active on MFP, so feel free to add me!

I've been bringing string cheese and protien bars. I also love to bring leftover meat (steak, pork, etc...) carrots and peanut butter on a sandwhich round. I think I may have to try the chicken salad recipes and the hummus. I'm hankering for something a bit different.

Ditto... I'm not a mom or anything, but I admire those who are :) I'm an engaged 20 something living at home with my parents. I lost my job a couple months ago. I'm working now, but I only make about half of what I used to. It's rough... But I'm making it.. Feel free to add me!

I used to let my depression get in the way. I recently went to see my doctor about getting on an antidepressant and he gave me a perscription for 20mg of Prozac. It worked a little, but not as well as I expected. I went back after a month and told him what was going on. He upped my dosage to 40mg and I'm feeling TONS…

Thanks for the heads up! I never really thought about this, but it does make sense. I'm really closed off with my Facebook. I will not add someone until I've at least seen them in person. I have a Facebook page for my blog if anyone that reads wants to connect with me. Otherwise, I have a policy of no friend unless I've…

This is what my best friend does too.. I haven't reached that point yet.

Yes! This exactly! Find a Goodwill or a thrift store and go for it :)

My fiance is surprisingly quite supportive. I started the MFP journey and made up my mind to not give up this time. I talked to my fiance and he told me that no matter what I did he supported me. A week or so into the logging, I get a friend request on MFP from him! I asked him about it and he said, "You don't have to do…

I'm in!

Awesome!! Way to go :)

Here is the playlist that I use when I'm on the elliptical (usually put it on shuffle): All I Do Is Win- DJ Khaled ft T-Pain, Rick Ross, Ludacris and Snoop Boom Boom Boom- The Outthere Brothers Down On Me- Jeremih & 50 Cent Get Back- Ludacris Gold Digger- Kanye West Headlines- Drake How Far We've Come- Matchbox 20 Blame…

I'm going to second the carbs question..

This was something I was really nervous about. Both of my parent's have type 2 diabetes and at my last wellness check I was borderline (in my mind anyway, my fasting BS was 97). I haven't been diagnosed, but I do live in fear of the disease.

I agree... Switch up your routine.. Or take a day and go over just a bit. Eat to maintain and move on. It's a mental block :) Good luck!

Thanks all for the suggestions! I'm one of the weirdos that has to have tight shoes.. I'll loosen them up a bit and see what happens.

Awesome! I started my journey to avoid just that. I hate testing my blood sugar! Congrats~

My mom, fiance and best friend are the biggest supports. I live with my mom and dad and they aren't the healthiest of eaters. Mom understands though when I make substitutions for food and make my own food. I got a MFP request from my fiance a couple days ago and asked him about it... His answer? "You shouldn't have to do…
