Hi - you will love this place. And 80 pounds in a year sounds very realistic and attainable-but if it happens sooner or or slower- always keep going no matter what - best of luck to you!

I wear the cheapos from Wal Mart. Not even sure what brand they are. Danskin maybe. Despite my weight - I'm not very busty -never have been- so they do the trick. I wear a 40 B or C in them- can't remember for sure.

Congratulations! You must be on top of the world right now! Enjoy!!!

I know soda whether diet or regular is bad for you b/c of all of the crap in it. But I drink a diet soda every day - and have done so for the past few years. Has it hindered my weight loss? No. I used to drink regular soda - and lots of it - and did it contribute to my weight gain? Yes - absolutely! I dont have a taste for…

It's common - when you lose weight you lose it everywhere - even your feet - geesh I even lost it in my earlobes. They used to poke out all funky, but now they're normal again lol. And as far as feet go - I was a shoe size 11 WW at my highest weight- now I'm a regular 11 and can wear some 10s. I hope to fit in all 10s once…

"What are you having?" (I've never been pregnant)

Cinnamon sweet rolls Create big belly fat rolls Eat them anyway

When I was in my early teens "Fat free" was all the rage. I thought as long as it didn't have fat in it - it was fair game. So I ate candy, soda, bagels, fat free frozen yogurt - you name it. Boy was that wrong!

My highest weight was 327 - and my PCOS was so bad at that weight I had gone 2 years without a cycle and my testosterone was so high my doc thought I might have tumors on my adrenal glands!! Thankfully I didn't - and the fear of all of that kick started my devotion to losing weight and getting healthy. Anyhoo -my doc wants…

lmao

hahaha well that would be me too - I'm in 18-20

Absolutely amazing and so inspiring! You rock!

That is fantastic - way to go!

Ok I am editing what I wrote previously. How far over did you go? Generally speaking - yes your stomach shrinks when you reduce the volume of food you put in it over time - so to then put a large volume of food in it could cause discomfort. Its not necessarily calories - but volume. A head of lettuce would stretch your…

Haha you are awesome Carl!

Appletini Appletini!!

Thanks everybody - you guys are the best!

I have dual monitors ( Im at work) - on one monitor- 4 systems open. On the other- internet explorer with 4 tabs. I usually have more though.

SO true! Great post!!

That is just amazing - you look great! Just awesome!

HAHA - I tried spinning a few years ago on a free sample tour at a gym - I honestly felt like I had been assaulted!! Never did it again!

Laxatives will mess your system up even more. It is very common to have less frequent bowel movements when you reduce your food intake. It's just the nature of it - less in = less out. However, as everyone else said, increasing fiber intake and drinking a lot of water will help. Fruits and veggies help too.

That's an awesome NSV - even if it was embarassing.

I was totally shocked too - she was definitely my favorite girl - she was so good and its been a long time since I've liked any of the girls on the show. And to those who got spoiled - sorry - it was spoiled for me too - not b/c of the time zone but b/c my cousin texted it to me before I had a chance to watch it on DVR.

I recently started making Pita chips out of 100% whole grain pita bread. So easy you just cut them into small triangles, pull apart the bread, lightly coat with cooking spray and a dash of salt or if you want to avoid salt you could use spices instead. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake until they're crispy. If…

The equipment at the gym should have the option to enter your weight. Are you using that option or just going with the quick start? Most machines use a base weight of 150 for the "quick start" mode. If you weigh more or less than that your number will be affected. Also - I use an elliptical machine at work sometimes (we…

Don't get me wrong - I am all for donation too. I have donated a ton of clothing in excellent condition b/c I didn't wear it long! I am only hanging onto some of the biggest clothes, a few 4x shirts, a couple of the 28 pants, extra wide shoes,etc. and a few more items. I mostly kept clothes with the strongest memories and…

Great post!

Never had much in the boob area - but at highest weight (327 lbs) I was 44C and currently 40C with lots of room in the cups. Will be stepping down to a 38C soon.

I am currently about 80 lbs overweight - but I used to be a lot bigger and it took getting about 30 to 40 pounds off before anyone really noticed. But I didn't let that bother me - because before long - when I got about 50 to 60 pounds off the compliments and comments started pouring in more than I could count! Be patient…
