Getting back on track; a quote from the article which I think sums up a few of the issues well: One place to start is to address sizing. "There is what I like to refer to as the lying, deceptive show-game of vanity sizing," Gunn said. "I'll use as an example a size 8 dress form. When I was at Parsons, we had dress forms…

My husband and I have a 9 year old and a 7 year old. I always pack their lunches as the school lunch is usually high in fat and sodium and I doubt they would eat all of it anyway. Here is a list of things that I have packed for them. Note that I usually pack things with two small cooler packs so that everything stays cool:…

Congrats! You look awesome!!!! You give me so much hope because we have similar amounts of weight to lose and are close in height (I am 5' and goal weight is 120, weight is presently 182) and - forgive me if this is too much info - we have similar body shapes. But this is about YOU --- Cheers and happy dance for you all…

inspiring! :)

Excellent perspective and so glad you are posting this. Part of the task for us who are losing weight having been obese is fostering a healthy use of food. Your post reminds us of this: WE are in charge of what we put in our mouths. Every day can't be 3000 calories, but if we do eat it on a rare occasion, its not the end…

This is an excellent observation and I completely relate. When I was slender, store clerks were so helpful and now that I have gained weight, I have been ignored in some stores (not all by any means) and given subtle insults as well. It is a sad comment on our society, but at least we are not alone and we know enough not…

Congrats and what an inspiration you are!!! Blessings :)

This above and double-check your TDEE/BMR. Also, I tend to look at a weekly perspective too and focus on balancing carbs/fat/protein. A few cookies will not derail you forever. If I can do this, so can you and I have a LOT more weight to lose. Also, I am short too (5 foot even). I wish you the best! :)

One of the very best before and after photographs I have seen on here! An inspiration to us all! My most heartfelt congratulations to your mom and your whole family. Blessings :flowerforyou:

Great for you OP! We do burpees (what a silly name for something SO painful) in a couple of my exercise classes and they are effective at making me sweat, tremble, and cry. That said, they are excellent exercises and when I am done, I feel fierce! :)

Our 'stats' are so close! I am 5 foot tall and my highest weight was 212. Started MFP at 207 and now down to 194. Your post gives me a lot of hope. Thanks for posting and CONGRATS on doing such a great job!

You are beautiful...inside and out! I am so very, very happy for you!

Excellent Results!!! I am a bit jealous because my chest is the first place I lose and I never had much to spare! :) Anyway...your hard work is inspiring! I love that purple dress-Stunning! I am not from Scotland, but my great-great grandparents were. My maiden name is "Scone", so it is great to see someone posting from…

I live in the city in which this took place and have personally taken my kids to the exhibit. There were signs posted and the railing was pretty high - over a child's head, but was fencing material so you could see through it. This is a tragedy and should have never happened, but I would like to know if the Zoo is being…

Well put, and thank you. Sadly though, there will always be people who like to stir up others.

Sorry, not a hot chick here looking to flirt, but just an almost 40 year old married mom of two who wants to say "You ROCK!" Awesome work!

Beautiful! You're glowing! :)

Wise words! :)

Great work! Amazing changes in you. I am so sorry about your mom.

Bump. Awesome answers all... Going to go pick up something heavy now...

That's what smelling too much of the A & F perfume will do to you...

This above. Don't be discouraged. Although cliche, it's still true: Not a sprint, but a marathon. You can do this. Remember, for many of us trying to loose weight, we are not just changing our nutrition and exercise activities to be healthier/slimmer, we are reshaping the way we think about food and making healthier…

Beautiful! The difference is very evident! Great work and I hope your back heals quickly. Thank you for posting this and I am so very happy for you! :bigsmile:
