you look really amazing,congratulations on your success!

i agree completely.in january i was 250lbs and in a lane bryant 20 jeans.now im 196 and have gotten to my previous dream goal of lane bryant 14/16 jeans fitting.ordered a pair of michael kors jeans in size 12 online and when they arrived i was stunned to be able to zip them right up.so now i have michael kors size 12,tommy…

i'm a tattoo artist and have approx 70%body coverage(approx 200 tattoos) and would not waste my time doing an all white tattoo,you would at least need some kind of pale grey outline to keep it visible and not just fade into a pale mush over time.but wouldnt recommed it even then.we only really use white to add suble…

:drinker: what an inspiring journey! congratulation on the weightloss and your personal progress :-)

im wondering if new zeeland has banned all fast food companies and all packaged food brands.also any items containing high fructose corn syrup,excess sodium,etc?since theyre soooooooo concerned about weight issues.... what asshats!

well i certainly think that Onderland is a state of mind,for myself i agree that for most of us its entering into the 199 and under catagory.ive lost 34lbs so far,went from 249 in january and am now around 215.havent been in the 2teens since my very early 20's and am now 43years old.its an amazing journey. to think that in…

damn....its tragic,i just found myself saving pics of this red velvet food porn on my computer. lol!

love miss piggy,seriously just looooove miss piggy!

sweetie you are doing amazing! and just so you know,my workmom(co-worker)is 63 and started to work out last year with a trainer.her arms were larger then yours .she has had multiple foot,back and neck surgeries! for the first 10 months they got toned on top(she used 2lbs weights that entire time)but she thought the hanging…

im on 1350 calories a day and its working just fine.i try to avoid using up my exercise calories because when i did consume them it just made me plateau for almost 2 weeks without loss! but realistically you have to just try different methods and see what works best for your body chemistry,everyone is different and i think…

hhhmmmmmm.....if it walks like a *kitten*,talks like a *kitten*,then in all reality,it is infact a *kitten*.a nice guy,a good guy wouldnt disrespect you that way.someone who cares about you doesnt talk about other women,etc.walk away now while you still have some self respect remaining.

yay!!! congrats on the size 6 jeans :-)

Congratulations amazing woman!!!!!!woooo hooooo,Go on girl,do your thing :-) :drinker:

hey everybody! im at 217,down from 249 in january,feel free to add me :-)

exactly,its kinda like a guy sitting alone in a corner not willing to introduce himself or tell people he meets his basic info and then complaining that nobody wants to be his friend.

i love the pandora idea!!! next check im heading to the jewelry store.im such a jewelry girl,dunno why i didnt think of it first :-)

yuuuummmmm subway. that place is like crack.i walk in thinking okay,ill get a 12inch turkey terriaki for now and a meatball sub for my overtime shift tonight.but invariably would somehow eat my way through them both.and to be honest, ordering a 6inch sub never even entered my mind.sux...

you mention cutting your food costs but i would love to know what amount you cut the costs from.what is your food budget for your family at this time?

i agree,many years ago i received food stamps for myself and young daughter.$271 a month.that is only $9.00 a day for us both,which equaled $1.50 a meal.no snacks.the neighborhood in which we resided had liquor stores,pawn shops,beauty supply stores on every corner.no large or brand name grocery stores in the area .to…

i certainly agree that fluctuating calories is best. and especially as a woman it very often depends on where you are in your monthly cycle with regards to needing additional calories to replenish your system. listen to your body!

:drinker: girl you are so amazing!! the results are really visible :-) good work !

thats so amazing!!!!!

good idea to plan and log ahead.thats what i do during the workweek,i log my lunch and most snacks when im packing them so i dont forget during the rush of work,etc

dont worry,that plain green tea is in fact water with a lil bag of herbs added so be happy! adding a teabag doesnt magically stop the nature of what youre drinking,unlike chemical and sugar filled beverages like soda etc

excellent tip about the birkinstocks :-) that worked for me as well! :drinker:

all detroit ladies lets work this weight off! its gonna be a beautiful michigan summer and i plan to be back in shape for clothes shopping in the sweet sweet summetime.and you know what they say "in summertime a young mans mind turns to love"! so bring it on :-)

keep up the good work and congratulations on your weight loss!

hey girlie,add me,im more then happy to help ! we are all in the same boat.the stories on this site are so inspiring and i know we all want to be part of making positive changes in our lives!
