Currently...19 piercings, 3 retired piercings and 14 tattoos I love them like children

Can I get in on this too if there is room?? Also, would it matter if I weigh-in on Mondays with the group but not long my officials on MFP until every other Tuesday (starting July 2nd) - which is my normal weigh-in day???

You look fabulous!! And I know EXACTLY how you felt with this dress!! I tried on the same one when looking for a graduation dress in December...the 16 was a tad too small and an 18 a tad too large, I was crushed too!! Congrats on all the hard work you've done!!! You can tell you are leaps and bounds happier with the dress…

I've actually had several "YAYs" this week 1) The BF had his arm around my stomach while we were laying in bed and he said "wow, your stomach is getting smaller" 2) My bestie told me that she can see the 20 lb loss I've incurred 3) I found a pair of Old Navy jeans (size 16) at a 2nd hand store that I did not try on because…

you look beautiful!! the dress is amazing!! Congratulations on your success and getting married!!

I usually don't worry about it but some days when I'm done I am starving (or atleast feel like I am) But thanks for all the suggestions guys :) :drinker:

Anyone can feel free to add me too :) I'm super full of support!!!

I think you look fabulous!!! I would be more worried for you if there were ribs protruding or your arms being all bone! But I see nothing that says "anorexic" or "too far"!

I honestly step on the scale atleast once a day BUT, I take the scale seriously every other Tuesday (so, every two weeks) And I take progress photos every six weeks

I was actually just looking at a store in my area that does fitting for shoes! I will probably end up there on Thursday afternoon after the nice paycheck goes into the bank :) And yay for running Tough Mudder!! I am looking to start training for the one I want to do in late September - hence where the idea of two shoes:…

:) This is exactly why I had the idea (while walking to work) that I needed two pairs of shoes - one for my everyday stuff like going out with friends, the mile walk to work, etc., and then another pair that I would wear at the gym while I get my sweat on!!

I have lost 16 pounds....so Total = 15,180 lbs lost by MFPers

Just turned 26..... Was married, now divorced as of 2012.... NO kids..... Not sure I'll ever do the marriage thing again.... Kids....let's get a steady job first, that has insurance, that I've had for atleast 2-3 years and then we'll revisit the issue

When I go to Starbucks....I just get their Pikes Roast with some sugar-free hazelnut syrup and I bring my own little container of protein powder! It's super fantastic!!

congrats! you look fantastic!!!

Exactly! Same here!! I'm starting the C25K tomorrow to get on the right track since I was never really a runner or anything!

I am starting tomorrow... I will let you know :)

here is a thread that has some good before and after shots: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/932106-show-me-ur-30-day-shred-results-d As far as room, I was told that if you have enough space to stretch your arms out you should be good....or something to that effect. The answer is in that thread as well :)

I think my biggest thing is the "I'm not happy with my weight/appearance/size/health" but doing nothing to change it... I have no qualms about turning down an oreo! I actually have like 6 boxes of GS cookies I haven't even touched yet . I allow myself the little things (i gorged on french fries yesterday because i wanted…

aye! just becomes more frustrating when he says he's unhappy with his current appearance and I am such a helping kind of person by nature ::shrug:: Besides, I have noticed that I feel better in the days and my fidgety habit of picking at my fingernails has become nearly non existent since I started....I know I will make it…

oh HAI!!!

I used to have a BIG, HUGE, RIDICULOUS issue drinking more soda than I did water (I mean, I used to drink a liter of root beer a day) When it came time to drinking more water and cutting out the soda, I found myself migrating more towards sparkling water. For me, it's all about the bubbles! I usually use it as an excuse to…

I have to say everyone's photos make me want to get on this bandwagon!! I have some serious inches I need to lose (atleast I think so) How much room does one need to do 30DS?? I have a SUPER small living room with hardly any space - I mean, I have like 2 feet of room between my couches but atleast 7 feet of length from the…

But sometimes you find that the people you don't know have the most nonjudgmental view of the situation :) and it's usually the most helpful

It's going to be okay! I met my first love when I was 14/15 and we were together for nearly 10 years. We got married in 2010, when we were both 23. . Sadly, I ended up breaking his heart last year and asked for a divorce knowing that we were on two completely separate paths. Things happen for a reason! It's okay to be sad…

Thanks!! It's a true to form screen name as I have a degree in chemistry! That and I grew up a huge Stones fan!!

I'm on my 2nd go around of losing too! I lost 30 lbs in the course of 3.5 months back in 2010 but quit because I realized I was doing it for all the wrong reasons!! It took me those three years to put all that I lost back on....and then 20 more! We are little engines that can and will!!

Just finishing Day 4!!! Start up again tomorrow with 70 squats :) I also turned it into a crunches challenge just because :)
