What a difference! Congrats on your success!

Thanks for sharing your amazing transformation story! What an inspiration...yes, this is possible for anyone!

Great story and an amazing transformation! Bet your husband couldn't be more proud to have you by his side!

Just registered to do this for the first time May 18th! It's listed as Minnesota for location but it's really in Western Wisconsin! Going to be CraZy and will need to do some serious training!

Hi there! I'm 5'9". Started out at 221 pounds and currently fluctuate between 137-142. I had set my goal weight a little higher than that but when I got there adjusted it to 145 and hit a little below that. I've been maintaining this weight for several months now. Depending on the brand I wear anything from a size 4 (one…

YEAH FOR YOU!! Congrats on all your hard work. It certainly has paid off!

That is eXcellent! (With emphasis on the one X!)

Yeah for you!!

Too funny...and hopefully not toxic for consumption!

Awesome dedication and determination and even better results after year no. 1. Keep it up until you reach your final goal and we'll all be here cheering you on!

Had a 10k this morning and doing Monster Dash 10 mile on October 29. Maybe sneaking another 5k in next Saturday.

Rawr to you!! Awesome job! And you are right...anyone can do this if they set their mind to it! With all the support here, it'll be easy, peasy to reach your goals!

Great job!

Suggestion for training for the MN Warrior Dash--hills, do lots and lots of hill training! I participated in July 2011 and it's at the same location in 2012 which is Afton Alps Ski Resort. The obstacles themselves were easy enough but running up the hills (yes, you go up many times as you weave through the course they have…

I live out in the country so we rarely get trick or treaters so I'm not buying candy this year at all--easy solution for me! My son is 13 and beyond trick or treat age so he won't be bringing any home. Suggestion for you though: buy your giveaway candy as late a you can and make sure you hand it all out or else find a…

Kudos to you!! Keep it up!

Feels better to get a little venting in!! I get where you are coming from. It's a bit overwhelming at times and I keep thinking it'll be better when this or that is done but it never seems to be better. Keep plugging along, you can do it! You are worth the investment of time and money put towards a healthy you!

Great job on your successful weight loss journey!

Just accepted your friend request! Here's to a healthier you and working together to get there!

What an amazing transformation! Outstanding!! Congrats to the smokin' hot new you!!

I've had tilapia a couple times for dinner this week and wrap mine in foil with some RealLemon and grill it. I'll have to try the microwave prep idea! BTW-I've found my tilapia at Aldi-can't remember the price though. A bag of the individually packaged ones are the way to go!

Here's a low-cal one that I've made. It's very moist! (Not as good as my grandma's banana bread recipe but much lower calorie...) Banana Bread 1 mashed banana 1 Tbls melted butter or margarine 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup Splenda dash salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 large egg 2 Tbls skim milk 3/4 cup flour Preheat oven to 350…

It's a Jillian Michaels workout DVD. It has 3 levels, each are about 30 minutes in length with a warm up, circuits of 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs and a cool down. Supposed to do it for 30 days...hence the 30 day shred... Hope this helps!

PHENOMENAL! Enough said! :-)

I just made up a full muffin pan of these yesterday. The idea came from another MFPer and I loved the idea! Spray a full size muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line each of the cups with a slice of ham. Sprinkle in some fat free shredded cheese. Add ingredients of your choice (i.e. broccoli, mushrooms, onions,…

You picked a fun one for your first! Congrats on finishing your first...and here's to many more! (Speaking from experience, you'll be hooked on racing and want to do lots more!)

I just picked up Ripped in 30 over the weekend and did the Level 1 workout this a.m. I liked it but not far enough in to recommend one over the other! I do like the 30DS but was a bit bored with it. (I liked Levels 1 & 3 better than 2 so only did 2 of the 3 on that one!) Now that I'm thinking of it, I should do…

I've been wearing a substitute ring for my wedding ring until I take it in to be resized. It was so loose I was worried I would lose it.

You look AH-MAY-ZING! Way to go! I've found running to be very helpful to my weightloss as well. Hoping to see abs like that in the near future...**sigh**...lace up the running shoes and hit the pavement some more! :-)

Great NSV! Keep it up!
