Just wondering if you could give us a heads up on what the major differences are. For many years I was a low-carb junkie and for the most part it worked for me. I could go off the diet for a few days and gain maybe 2-3 pounds and then go back on and lose them again. The only problem for me was feeling so worn down and…

Exactly!

That is the best feeling in the world, knowing that someone has your back AND you are worth it to them. On a lighter note if I said my Big Beaver made me feel sexy do you think that would be misinterpreted? LOL I feel sexiest in................ *A sun-kissed tan and the perfect tank-top *Pink toes and flip-flops *Perfectly…

I'm also 5'8. The lowest I've ever been in my adult life is 170 lbs. I thought I looked pretty good but still had some "chunky" areas so my goal was always 150 lbs.....I never made it there. This time around I'm just gonna go with what feels right. When I make it back down to 170 I'll stop and reassess my goals. If I feel…

I'd go for the regular but that is based mainly on what I think tastes better.

I wear a women's size 10-11 too. I just found some of those shape-up shoes (the generic Danskin brand) at Wall Mart on super clearance for $7.00!!!! I was so excited. I just got them 3 days ago but they appear to be tightening my thighs...at least it feels that way. The nice thing about having big feet is getting the…

Daaaaaamn!!!! You look great!

Great job!

Great job!

Amazing!!!!

Every little bit helps!

Yeah, tanning beds helped mine too but they're never totally gone.

I'm not much of a runner but I did have a little help in getting pregnant: cough syrup! Must be the kind that contains Guanaphene Syrup (I'm sure that is spelled wrong BTW). A labor & delivery nurse told me about the trick and I've also read it in baby books. Basically the cough medicine helps thin cervical mucus the same…

You look amazing!

Great pics, what a difference!

Amazing success! You look great. Plus I love the monkeys in your bathroom!

I always lose from my boobs first...luckily I've got enough to spare. LOL. My face and belly/luv handles tend to slim out rather quickly too. My thighs and upper arms are always the last to get slim which sucks for me because I've alwyas dreamed of having "skinny girl" arms.

Agreed, awesome job and what a differance!

Totally agree.

If only it were that simple. BO is not always caused from bacteria, genetics, disease and diet are also a factor. The mind set that people with BO need to take a shower is the exact reason those people drown themselves in perfume (so as not to be thought of as unclean). It's a vicious cycle. I'm pretty sure Oprah did a…

Not that I am defending wearing a gallon of cologne but I have my own personal reasons for wanting to at least not stink when I go out in public. There are many negative social stigmas placed on overweight people. IMHO one of the most offensive and humiliating misconceptions is "fat people smell bad". It is because of this…

*I have been slightly clairvoyant since I was a small child *I have been to at least 10 different psychics in the past ten years (2 were pretty accurate, the others not so much) *I always read magazines from back to front

I can move my ears up and down One of my ears is slightly higher than the other one so glasses always sit funny on my face. My dad has the same thing so apparently it's genetic.

That is hilarious!

*My parents have been together since they were 14 & 15 years old *My daughter weighed 10 lbs 7 oz at birth (Thank God for c-sections) but I only gained 10 lbs during pregnancy *I have an impressive tolerance for psychical pain but not much for the emotional stuff. * I used to live on a farm and had to clean up after all…

Thank you and may I say that YOU are a beautiful soul for being such a killer MFP pal and for taking such an avid interest in helping people feel better about themselves.

I'm beautiful because I make pretty babies Great post BTW!!!!

Good catch, it was 2008

*I have this thing where my arm span is greater than my height and it makes me extra flexible *I have NEVER peed outside and I would like to go to my grave that way. *I clean my house in the buff (or close to it usually) *My daughter was conceived on leap year day 2007 *I do a mean Scottish accent *One time I saw Kathy…
