Hi! I'm Carrie. I'm trying to lose weight as well. This is tough and having friends helps :)

Hope this worked. Happy Sunday!

@dirtytacos, I see Dita Von Teese !

Anne Hathaway

@solarpower03 whoa baby!

One of the reasons I'm losing weight is because I want women to find me more attractive. I don't see anything wrong with your using your desire to be attractive to other men as your motivation for losing weight. That said, I think you should also look for someone who will be 100% supportive of your goals, which the man you…

Having a certain lifestyle consists of the choices you make about how you want to live your life. How you eat and treat your body is a lifestyle. I'm a smoker, that's a lifestyle (albeit not one to be proud of, but it IS a choice to smoke). Spending loads of money on lavish vacations or gourmet food is a lifestyle.…

Ladies, please add me!

Johnny Galecki is gorgeous!

I have had the worst crush on Rachel Maddow for a couple of years now! Jennifer Lawrence is also one of my faves but more for her personality than her looks. Lawrence seems like the type of woman you could crack a beer with and BS about everyday annoyances. Maddow, she's my homegirl. She's smart, funny and looks great in…

I am mighty. I refuse to be anything other than me. I am making myself number one.

The only bad thing I got from this video is that I now know NONE of my underwire bras fit properly! It bothers me so much that I have been mostly wearing sports bras.

I found this a few weeks ago. Hope this helps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jk55ep4XUQ

Does counting "stones" help as opposed to counting the pounds lost? I wonder if people here in America started counting stones instead of pounds that we wouldn't obsess like we do over weight loss.

When you put it in that perspective, no it isn't! But the next time there are ribs, I'll skip the ice cream sandwich. The really good thing that when we have ribs, my mom is usually the one who will make them, and she always lets me know when she plans on cooking them. The next time this happens, I will know to plan ahead:…

No it wasn't! But I've learned my lesson from that. I felt sick afterwards and guilty. Portion control was never my strong suit and that's why I'm in the position I am today.

Thanks so much for replying, everyone! I just have to keep remembering: This is a lifestyle, not a quick-fix! You all are inspiring!

I did something quite similar the night I ate the ribs. Along with the ribs, I ate two portions of steak fries and steamed veggies. After that, I ate two ice cream sandwiches made from chocolate chip cookies and Turkey Hill ice cream. Sometimes I just want the sugar.

Haha. Wine and h'orderves were my downfall last night at my cousin's engagement party (I'm telling everyone! I'm so proud!). I don't think I even logged it in and it felt like cheating. Hate that feeling. I'm doing pretty good today and have already burned most of my daily goal. One day at a time.

This sentence was a light bulb over my head. So simple. So to-the-point. So true. Thank you so much for the motivation! I'll remember this while I'm out today! Potato scones sound dreamy. ;)

The next time you get the feeling that you are getting The Glare from someone else, or your man tells you that someone is doing it to you, take note of what you are doing. Are you staring at her without noticing you are staring? Were you thinking about something that has you stressed and this person walked into your range…

Hi! I'm with you on that, too. I'm 220lbs, 5'2" and I love my butt and thighs. I wear around a size 18 in pants and I actually kind of like referring to myself as "plus size". I don't want to lose my curves. I set a goal weight of 170 which is where I felt the best a few years ago. Once I get down to that weight, I might…

Hey! I'm 28 and new to MFP. Seeing how well others are doing motivates me to keep going!

@skeels Picture number 2! Great smile!

Date

HI! I'm right there with you. Also 5'2" and 221lbs. It's only been recently that I've decided to do something about how I look and eat. I was at my cousin's wedding over the weekend and there were so many women there my age wearing pretty dresses and I just felt so jealous. Been bothering me ever since. If It's not too…
