My guess was 170. You look great!

I have two things. Yobe frozen yogurt is a chain place that is 25 calories an ounce so you get a cup for 100 calories. Then you can add chocolate chips, or mnm's. Their yogurt also has tons of stuff that is SUPER good for you. Awesome! Also Chobani has a coconut Greek yogurt with chocolate chunks and toasted almonds for…

After losing 70 pounds my spouse has benefited. He lost 10 pounds himself.... and there are other benefits too. Losing weight does wonders for your self esteem and that is super helpful in the bedroom.

Hey, I'm 5 foot 6 in and I started out at 336. I feel your pain!! I've lost 70 pounds through a diet of 1500 calories and exercise EVERYDAY. I do something everyday whether it is a walk, doing tons of house work, going to the gym... I do what I can, when I can. You CAN do it!

Shew!! You're awesome. Like a Greek god.

I am 100000 times more worried about a camel toe than I am about freaking panty lines. PRIORITIES. I would rather someone see the outline of my underwear than I would them see every single crevice of my cooch.

Look at that booty!! Looking good.

Thank you so much!!

I guess my biggest tip would be DON'T QUIT!! I have to tell myself that everyday. Don't stop. Don't you give up on yourself. I've also been extremely candid with family and friends. I share my success and failure right out in the open for everyone to see. I also have realized the extreme importance of not letting myself…

Awesome shoes!!! I love them!

It is too big!! How do I resize it?

I just smile and say, "No thank you. I'm on a very specific diet. I've done so well, and I've already lost quite a bit of weight. Want to see my progress pictures.?" They stop asking really quickly if they're coming from a place of jealousy.

I actually set my first goals at a 16/`8 being in a size 26 and having no idea I could get smaller. I'm in an 18 now and can't imagine wanting to stay here. I know I feel and look much better but I want to be the best version of me possible. I honestly don't care at all what size I end up in. I know that that size will be…

$18 biweekly and is pretax. I work in Health Care and our gym offers a HUGE facility with 3 pools and tons of classes.

I guess I'm different. I have shared everything with everyone. I find that being so extremely candid has led me to find some true friends and supporters in the FB community. I didn't know that I had so many people rooting for me.

I have several. These really work for me. Why am I doing this... because no one ever said it wasn't worth it. I also just envision the new me running away from the old me. I try to picture outfits that I admired in the store but couldn't wear. I picture myself doing things I can't do right now: running a 5k, taking a…

I do have 100 pounds to lose. Really 100+

I understand that, and thanks for the advice but as someone with an hour and a half commute that isn't always an option. Things will slow down and become a little bit easier, and I will try to work out a better plan at that time.

So if my calorie deficit is over 1500 a day.... I need to readjust?

This isn't my running pic, but I'm doing C25K and I love it. 68 lbs lost so far! progress by mandygibbs85, on Flickr

I just wrote a blog about this today. I'm obsessed with the numbers. I hope that I can get to a point where it isn't an all out obsession all the time.

Love that facial difference. You look great.

Looking good

Having lost 50 pounds before... I'm sure you already know. You have it within yourself to lose this weight again. It is REALLY hard to start back at square one. I lost 70 pounds when I was much younger and it took me 9 years and 150 pound weight gain to start again. I know what helped me was starting one thing at a time. I…
