oh my gosh... as I was reading this I wondered if I had written it! I am in the exact same boat. Lost 125 lbs (took 2 1/2 years). Got injured and changed careers, went through a divorce and then met my current live in bf of 3 years. Guess what happened? ALL the weight came back on. I joined back up with the same bootcamp I…

worked out like a mutha****a. going to weigh in at the gym tomorrow morning and we'll see!

Ya, without a hrm, you can't tell for sure with any exercise, but my bootcamp instructor told me ages ago that you can generally bank on 10 cals/minutes if you are working hard enough to raise that heartrate up pretty good. So 600 cals for an hour, and I think that's conservative.

You look smoking hot girl!!!! Way to go on your fabulous transformation, inside (i'm guessing) and out!!! Proud of you!!!!!

Seriously amazing job my friend!!!!! Totally inspirational and proud of you.

haha... taking the average is the best way to go!

oops, so slow. that was for bronx

imma gonna guess 25?

I thought I had a type, but when you meet someone and you click all that "not my type" nonesense goes out the window. One thing that will always be my type though is kind and funny. This knows no physical boundaries.

kind of off topic of online dating, but has anyone here ever gone to a speed dating function. We are having one here next month, I think the first one held here, and I was considering going. It's even being run out of a local gym, where they are going to have couple's games with dinner after. It costs $75 (dinner included…

I second this! Actually, my dream job would be musical director for the the Indian film industry.

This is totally my attitude too. I wish my ex thought the same. 4 months into our separation, and he's already introduced my two young boys to his new "girlfriend", had them spend the night there now twice and is talking about moving in with her. WTF?! It is so obvious he is putting his needs before there's. I feel so bad…

It is totally doable! Lots of people will have tons of advice. The only thing I did was eat as healthy as I could, drink lots of water, and get active daily!!!!! And above all, JUST KEEP GOING, even if you hit a wall. Best of luck!

Besides your cynically hilarious personality... love the smolder in this pic!

hey, I'm not over 200 anymore, but I sure use to be. Feel free to friend me if you'd like. I don't have any major secrets, but I'm always there for support! Cheers!

I don't have this problem. No one ever hits on me.

i hated them.

Isnt' it a great feeling to know that you will never EVER shop in those plus size stores again?! You have done amazing! I applaud everyone on here to is successful at not only losing the weight but making that necessary lifestyle change. Great job and you look FANTASTIC!

I am definitely belong in the boredom category. When I'm stressed I don't eat at all. Two extremes! I need to keep busy in the evenings. Sitting in front of the tv or my laptop is not a good thing

Wow! You look amazing! You should be proud of yourself!

you look fantastic! Way to go!!!

Distance sucks! Mine's in Chicago. I'm in Alberta, Canada. We're looking at $950 for a round trip and there's no direct flights even. So, any flight I book includes at least a 6 hour layover. If it's not money, it's time. BOO!

oops. I vote for retaining him for the makeout sessions! lol

It's difficult to not get attached though. I know for me, I find myself wanting to talk to my guy all the time. We've already talked about the distance thing and, even though we don't know how it would work, we chose to ignore that fact and continue getting more intimate with each other. A weekend meeting is in the works…

That's generally my stance too, except we didn't start talking with anything other than random casual friendly talk... it's just lead to something. I don't think either of us had any intentions to start liking each other in the beginning.

@missingMinnes The guy I'm talking to is a 24 drive from me! We are planning to meet in person this spring, but then what? I keep telling him that it's not bothering me right now, but what if we meet and hit it off really well? It's like heartbreak waiting to happen. Maybe you have to look at it for what it is, a nice…

Great job!!!! You look awesome. Keep going!

So proud of you for taking control of your life at such a young age!!!! I wish more youth would recognize that they need to be active and stay healthy! <3

You are rocking it girl! Great job! You look fantastic!!!!

This is the problem with the internet! I have met someone online (not from a dating site) and he lives so far away. There's not really a future there, yet we continue talking. And I was completely up front when we started chatting, about how distance was a deal breaker, yet the more we talk, the more we seem to like each…
