*wolf whistle* You look AMAZING!:drinker:

*wolf whistle* You look AMAZING!!! Keep up the PHENOMENAL JOB, lady! :drinker:

Two words: EAT MORE. Starvation IS NOT THE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT. You need to figure out your BMR (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/). This is the number of calories you need daily to run your heart, brain, circulatory system, etc. When you eat less then that, your body goes into crisis mode and you WILL NOT LOSE…

OUTSTANDING job!!!!! :drinker:

One word: PHENOMENAL. Wow. Wow. WOW!!! I'm sure I speak for EVERYONE on MFP when I say that you are an inspiration to ALL of us. *standing ovation for you*:drinker:

My husband was 18, and I was 19 when we got engaged. We knew each other for 2yrs. When we got married, he was 19, and I was 20 (we couldn't have alcohol at the wedding because we weren't legal drinking age, and none of our friends were either..LOL!) We are coming up on our 22nd wedding anniversary. He is the love of my…

Art geek. As for my friends, I guess you could say they were all band/ROTC/art/drama/computer nerds. We were the misfits that the jocks and cheerleaders made fun of. Funny thing is, most of us are in really good jobs and in stable relationships. The others? Not so much....

I agree with the eating more. Eat healthy, and eat smart (i.e. lots of fruit/veg, lean proteins, almonds/walnuts, whole grains, etc.) Many of us exercise like mad, but don't fuel our bodies. We get frustrated with the scale. If you KNOW you aren't eating junk food, then increase your calories. Make sure your NET CALORIES…

Guittard milk chocolate chips or M&M mint pieces. Any time they are in the house, I nibble on them. Yes, I do count/measure them out, and add them to my food diary, but I hate the fact that I am weak when they are in the cupboard. Dumb things!:sad:

I just completed my 4th marathon, so I thought I would throw in my advice. I use the Hal Higdon plan. During my marathon training season, I run TWO 20 mile runs. When I ran my first marathon in 2004, I had a leg problem towards the end of training and only got in a long run of 16 miles. When marathon day arrived, I was in…

As a mom of a 15yo EXTREMELY STUBBORN son, I totally agree with you. Parenting is HARD. No doubt about that. There are times when you have to really stick to your guns in order to teach a lesson. From what I read, you did exactly what I would've done. We only have our children at home for a handful of years. In that time,…

*loud wolf whistle* You look AMAZING!!!! You go, girl!!!! :flowerforyou: :happy: :drinker:

Agreed. NEVER tired of seeing how hard you worked, and how AMAZING you look now. Work it, girl!!! :flowerforyou:

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn woman!!! You look PHENOMENAL!!!! *wolf whistle*

I totally agree with quality sleep. When I'm running on 6-7 (I usually am a 8-9hr/night) hours of sleep, I feel mentally drained the next day. I notice that my times become slower, and my thinking becomes: "I really don't want to run this today". Sometimes, I decide to do cross training on Mondays (i.e. kickboxing, biking,…

Are you kidding? That is AWESOME!!!!! Way to go on your hard work. It is starting to really pay off. Woohoooooooo for you!:drinker:

Sunshine, you are doing AMAZING!!!! I can also say that long distance runners don't lose weight while they are training. I've said this before. I'm currently training for 2 marathons and 3 halves between Dec-Feb. I've run 3 marathons and 5 halves. Through all of those miles, I lose MAYBE 5lbs. I've run well over 200 miles…

First of all, WAY TO GO! As for me, I haven't weighed myself in 2 months. I know I'm doing well by the way my clothes fit, but I haven't stepped on a scale in a while. I was thinking that I might do it on Monday. Hmmm..... When I worked at Weight Watchers, we only weighed folks once a week. I know that some people feel the…

I'm also a Disney fan. Actually, I am currently training for my 2nd WDW Goofy Races that I'll run in Jan. 2012. This year, I'm running the 5K on Friday, half marathon on Saturday, and full marathon on Sunday. Let me just say, these races are AMAZING! You run through parts of the parks that most people never get to see…

I say go back to what worked for you. During my last marathon season, I found a pair of New Balance that I adored. What did I do? I went right back to the store and bought TWO more pair. I went through all three pair in 6 months of training. It was the best idea I'd had in a long time. If you find a running shoe that you…

I am in awe from your dedication, perseverance, and resulting success. YOU have turned your life around. No one else got you to where you are. YOU made the happy, healthy man that you are today. I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :happy:

You know I think you look AMAZING!!! I'm SO PROUD of you!!! :happy: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

You are looking MARVELOUS!!!! WTG!!! :drinker:

Welcome to MFP! Great job in taking the first step to a healthier you. I've been on MFP since January, and this community has been amazing! I will tell you that MOST of the folks on here do NOT believe in weight loss drugs (pills/shots/etc.), starvation, deprivation, or fad diets. 99% of us have tried those things, and…
