as someone who works in the consumer good industry, this made me laugh out loud and then share with my co-workers.

about 3 months ago. I should update it. I'm no longer a blonde

I have my own snack drawer in my desk. When I see everyone snacking away, I'll grab one of my healthier alternatives and join them. Though, I don't deny myself everything. If you bring in brownies, I'll find a way to fit that into my goals for the day.

Macaroni and cheese Mexican food - all of it Brownies

I googled this to see which place was farther, Hong Kong or Manila Philippines. Manila is actually a little bit farther, so that's my farthest trip.

I like this change in myself. But I live in the desert, so extra padding can make summer unbearable (ever been in 118 degree weather with 120lbs of extra fat?) We'll see how I do this winter. We had a little dip there where it went into the 70's and I enjoyed the chill. When it starts getting really cold, I think I'll…

Losing some boobs really gave me an identity crisis of sorts. I lost boob before belly and I felt out of proportion. I went from a 44 DD to a 40 DD. My husband thought that ment they were the same size, but they aren't. Those 4 inches around mean I also lost 4 inches of boob. After nursing 3 babies and now losing 58 lbs,…

I look up the menu online before I go and decide what to eat from there. If they don't have nutrition facts, I just try to order smart. I know that 1 meal won't break all my hard work so I'll let it be a bit of a splurge. If I do eat over my calories, I'll do a little extra in my next workout to put my mind at ease.

A few sips here and there. First real drinking experience was when I was 19 at my boyfriends graduation party. My parents were in the other room which made it that much more "dangerous". We did tequila shots, lots of tequila shots. Baaaaaaad idea. By the end of the night we were all very, very, very sick. To this day…

Amazing. You look great, but more imortantly you sound great! Keep it up!!!!

I completely understand where you are coming from. The long process was part of what made me fail so many times in the past. I just couldn't maintain a change. I like instant results and this is not an instant process. I would get frustrated when I saw other's losing so much and wish I was at that point. But then something…

I log every day since I started my journey this summer. feel free to add me!

You can do a lot at home. I do Zumba at home and some online videos I've found on Pinterest. Zumba is a lot of fun because it's basically dancing, but you get a great workout. Focusing on eating right is what will help you lose the weight, but the exercise will make you feel better. I also have anxiety issues, but have…

I'm doing a glow run this Saturday! You look amazing and are very inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

You look amazing! What an inspiration.

feel free to add me. My goal is to lose 124 lbs and then evaluate from there. I've got about 80 lbs left to go.

I've been there. So many times over the years I've said "this is it!" but never really made any long term changes. I totally want a quick fix and get a little freaked out if I don't see instant results. Personally, I had to hit a point where I just knew I had to change. That was seeing myself as I really was, pushing 300…

I'm drooling! Thanks for posting. Pumpkin is the best part of fall. I will have to try this.

I'm going through the same thing. What I've learned is I was wearing clothes a little tight because now they are loose and comfy. Some close doesn't work anymore, items that were intended to be loose at a bigger size. I've decided to try and wear my clothes as long as I can because I don't intend to go down just 1 or 2…

I was asleep because I was 6 months pregnant and didn't have to go into work until late. My husband called me and I woke up and turned on the news. I was stunned and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I watched the news while getting ready for work and drove in with a heavy heart. My work at the time had put up TV's and…

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! You look fantastic :)

Where I live, it is not uncommon for people to carry Cholula in their purse. That's one of my favorites.

Thank you for sharing your story. Today has been a hard day for me emotionally but reading this story, your story, has pushed me back up. Thank you so much. You should feel proud that you are moving forward. It doesn't matter when you start just that you do.

You look amazing! Very inspirational for someone like me on a similar journey. Glad to see it can be done all while looking fantastic!

I have the same problem sometimes. On days where I'm busy, I find I don't feel has hungry and will be below calories. My sister suggested eating a spoonful of peanut butter when I find my calories for the day on the low side. It will give you the boost in calories, plus some protein. If I'm really low, or actually kind of…

I live in Phoenix Arizona. I was born and raised here, which is strange. Most residents are transplants from other parts of the country. It's a beautiful state I think. Phoenix is in a valley surrounded by mountains. Not big ones, just pretty ones that are great for hiking. If you drive a couple hours north you hit forest…

I loved the story. Thanks for sharing. You look amazing!

Amazing! Fitting into new size jeans is just the best feeling ever!
