I LOVE that... "Skinny is out. Athletic is in" What a GREAT way to teach a kid about eating healthy. Nowadays it seems like so much focus is "be skinny" or "be tiny" never healthy fit or active.

I do... I get some looks of complete horror and some looks of amazement. When I say I used to be fat, some just say "no, maybe chubby but never fat" I think it is hard to be gone for so long and them to not see it. I had some people not recognize me before too. People I've known since i was just a little kid. I still tell…

Now you can look forward to the lower weight beeps :P

I think yes and no. If they're given ample warnings and they're young children, yes. I'm not certain how i feel about teenage kids that are overweight. I was really heavy in middle/high school but it wasn't my parents fault. They worked and I ate what I want when I wanted and snuck food all the time. Not ALWAYS the parents…

There is no WAY you could be a GRANDMA of SIX! You look un-FREAKING-believable!

Use the Tools and check your BMR. That is how many calories you would burn if you didn't do anything all day long. 1200 is great if you are trying to power the lbs down fast. I find 1350-1450 the best for me, before the nursing and exercise calories. You will lose weight as long as you're not eating 3000 calories each day!…

You look soo amazing! keep up the wonderful work!

You look AMAZING in the first picture for being 4 months PP there. In the second picture I can DEFINITELY tell a difference though, your thighs and butt look awesome! Great job!

I'm beyond obsessed with it. I find I weigh myself after EVERY trip to the bathroom, even if it is just to wash my hands or grab a hand towel to clean up a spill. It could be a bad thing but I find it refocuses me over and over each day. It keeps me from going into the kitchen and mindlessly eating! Do whatever works for…

You look ridiculously amazing!!! Way to go!

Yeah.. when i started this journey. I ate SOOO healthy that I went to a bowling alley with some friends one night and ordered a chicken ranch wrap from there.... BAD IDEA. So much grease and fat my body wasn't accustomed to eating. I had to force self to throw up. While I STRONGLY don't recommend it. I was pale and felt…

I got that too... They ask why I want to continue to lose weight and that I'm already WAY too skinny. I HONESTLY think it's not jealousy. I think it is that they are so used to seeing you bigger, that they're trying to adjust and don't know how to handle it. I think it is no different than someone getting plastic…

What I've done that worked... is jergens glow lotion MIXED with a fragrance free lotion in your hand before applying it! It makes it go on much smoother (less streaks) and it isn't as much color so you don't look orange.

You have such an amazing shape and your tummy is sooo flat!! You look awesome!

A womans best accessory is her smile!! You look beautiful so SMILE! Be excited for JAMAICA! I still have 14 months until I'm going!

You can't avoid it forever! Find someone to split it with or just throw out the other 1/2. Enjoy a little bit of it and work out. If you deny yourself what you REALLY REALLY want, then when you finally do reach your goal.... you will want to splurge on everything you see and gain weight back. All people deal with this…

I told the truth on my license but lied on my military ID. I was 210 at the time and told them 190... this time i renewed it, they were going to leave that and I had her redo the WHOLE thing because I wanted to proudly put 155 and NOT lie hahaha

Whatever is most comfortable for YOU. To me.. I say, all things in moderation. I don't deprive myself of cravings, I just limit them. (100 calorie packs are amazing to kill the cravings) Like a good MFP'er once told me, avoid the junk as best you can... but when you do cave and eat it, enjoy the HELL out of it. I also eat…

I lost about 55lbs in 8 months

I'm 5'7 and about 155lbs

Yes he did :) He is currently the Sheriff! hehe

AMEN!! Like PP have said, ALL things in moderation. Diet soda gives me a headache too, if I consume too much of it. To each their own! :)

I would go crazy without dairy but ALL things in moderation!

I had a friend I've known since high school that just did the SOCAL tough mudder. Make sure you do it with a couple friends, some obstacles you can't do without help. He said it was THE hardest thing he has ever done, but soooo worth it! One day people were getting sun burnt and the next hypothermia. I would LOVE to do the…

Holy cow! You guys don't even look like the same people!!! You both look amazing. Just.. stunning! Congrats!

LMFAO!!!

Not always. I agree with PP though, it has to do a LOT with confidence. I noticed with my weight loss so far I dress cuter, carry myself with pride and I think that reads to people. I have seen some bigger people who are big and proud and because of that.... look sexy doing so.

They might be a bit outdated but I still get a kick out of popping in an old suzanne summers or another old workout tape and doing stair steppers lol! You could probably find them in a bin for a dollar or 2 :P
