Yahoo! You look so aweome! What an incrediable story - very inspiring! And happy bithday to you!

I drag my employees out once or twice a day to do a 20 minute walk. It gets us up and away for stress relief and exercise. I als have access to agym at work. Their hours are not great but I can some times squeeze some time in before work or onmy way home. In my office, I pace around a lot when I am on the phone. I make at…

If I feel like spoiing myself, I will go to Central market. The Special K products are often on sale at Target and Walmart. I ust…

Sugar free chewing gum. Keep lots of those 100 calorie snacks around. Baby carrots. One sly trick - brush your teeth. We have been programmed to dislike the taste of food right after brushing. It actually works!

Hold strong and ignore the idiots. What you wear or eat is NO ONES business! You know you ar working on getting healthier. Do not worry about what others are saying or thinking. Some of the skinnest people I know are among the least healthy. The eat junk food, smoke and drink in excess. The only way to deal with those…

Congrats on your success! I am so inspired by people like you who just decide to take charge of your health and well being. I am impressed by your honesty and candor. You obviously have much more personality than you give yourself credit for! Keep up the hard work. I'll be pulling for you!

Send him to the doctor for a physical. That might open his eyes.

One week somewhere exotic - you only live once. Would you rather be overwight with one true friend who would always be there for you or thin with many friends but not be certain any of them have your back?

What a great story! Congrats to you. It is mazing how much confidence we get as we lose weight. Smiling more, flirting, walking lighter. What a perfect event for you to bust out the healthier you! Thank you for sharing, What an inspiring story.

I keep a huge 26 ounce water bottle at my desk and drink it when I get hungry. I probably go fill it 4 or 5 times during the day. It's a good way to get me up from my desk. I also have some of those 100 calorie snacks in my desk and limit myself to one of those a day. If you can, get up and go for a quick walk when you…

Congrats on a job well done! I am so inspired by people like you who take control of their health and live. You are amazing!

I guess I am lucky (or naive) because I have not seen the mean comments yet. You are right - we are all here for the same reasons - to get healthy, lose weight and find some encouragement. The mean people I have encountered have been outside o MFP so far. Last week, someone looked at me and said "I guess it is true - you…

I'd love to have you add me. I also need the support and to have someone else dealing with the same struggles is so beneficial!

You look awesome! Great job! Getting fit this early in your life will lead to a long, healthy one. Congrats!

Congrats! That is a huge success! Keep up the hard work.

My top three are: * not wiping the machines down after using thme - just plain gross * talking on cell phones, especially loudly so EVERYONE has to hear the conversation - just plain rude * leave dirty towels laying around all over the locer room instead of putting them in the bin to be washed - just plain inconsiderate

Incrediable shoulders - wish mine looked that great!

I agree that you need to stay consistent with when you weigh yourself. If you are consuming a lot of water, you will notice that the end of the day (night) weight on the scale will be more than the first morning weight after going to the bathroom. It won't hurt to weigh yourself after the meal and just take note of how…

Been doing it every day for just over a month and plan to keep with it. I'd love moe friends for support!

My health coach told me that in the beginning while I am loosing the weight, not to add the exercise credit calories back into my daily allowance if I want to drop pounds. She says once I get closer to maintenance, I can do that. As an addition to this, she says if I do have a particularly hard work out or burn tons of…
