bump! yum!

Any apple I pick off the tree is a good apple! If I'm forced to buy them in a store then Granny Smith or Haralson are my faves

INCREDIBLE! You look fantastic...not just physically but your face is glowing! I bet it feels awesome to see your hard work in the mirror. Pardon the profile creeping but also congrats on finishing nursing school and welcome to the profession! What an inspiration you will be to your patients and coworkers. Bravo!

bump!

bump!

I did the 24 day challenge last year and I liked it...was a nice jumpstart to eating better.

Her question wasn't "DO YOU THINK I SHOULD EAT PB2?!" Her question was "DO THEY SELL PB2 AT WALMART?!" Geez. Where I live Wal-Mart doesn't carry it, but the HyVee does. Not sure which grocery stores are in your area, but I've had great luck getting both HyVee and Fareway to order products I want to try. If your local…

I'm a fat runner, so a bra top is not in the cards for me, but someday I will be a thin runner and I will rock that sports bra! I gripe about it in my head when I see a sports bra-d runner go by, but honestly, it's because I'm jealous. So it's not "Why is she wearing that?" it's "DANG I can't wait till I can wear that!" Do…

WOW! What an amazing change! Thanks so much for sharing!

bump so I can see your success once you get the pics fixed!

bump!

bump to see responses...I'm intrigued!

Good LAWD you look amazing!! Thanks for sharing and you are rocking that bikini!!

OBVIOUSLY OFF TOPIC BUT: Most of us in healthcare are here because we legitimately want to help people be well--obviously there are sleazy Drs, but they are the minority, and they end up being the "don't practice like that guy" example for the rest of us who don't suck. Yes, sometimes reps buy us lunch, and I go to every…

THIS. If a drug has been around long enough to have more than one use, it's old and likely no longer name brand, so thus, cheap. Not to mention that the FDA regulates the hell out of pharmaceutical companies and kickbacks are largely a thing of the past. While I understand the ethics of it, as a prescriber who only joined…

Tilapia or other white fish is where I started. I get the huge bags of individually frozen tilapia filets--WalMart carries them--they're perfect for a single serving. My fave way to make it is throw some salsa on top of the frozen filet in a covered dish, microwave for 3 minutes or so. I know it sounds gross to microwave…

When it's 90 degrees and 90% humidity in August in Iowa, I say I'm too fat for anything but shorts--but it's important to find ones that fit well. I make sure they are long enough to cover my hooha and big enough to not give me extra rolls. My legs are strong and thick and I love the hell out of them, even the jiggly bits…

I actually gained about 2" after I used a wrap at a bridal show...she said "Oh you're one of the rare folks who gets bloated from it! It'll go down and you'll see great results!" 2 days later I was back to the exact same measurements from before. So, there's that.

you're gorgeous! great job and thanks for sharing your story!!

I LOVE free stuff and I would totally not be offended if someone offered me their fat clothes. I'm also pretty much offended by nothing, so there's that. If she's super sensitive maybe it would be a deal, but most people love free stuff--not to mention, if you've known each other that long, she should know it's coming from…

Thanks for the feedback...I'm going to try the free class tomorrow with her I think and see if I survive!

Thanks so much for sharing your story! You look lovely before AND after, but your smile is radiant in your after pics! Great job and you are such an inspiration!

Jan 19 of this year I got engaged to the most wonderful man. We were on vacation in Mexico at an all inclusive, so we spent the next week eating and drinking like crazy, as we had planned, but since returning home I've been kicking it in the *kitten*. This big, amazing, sparkly rock I have on my left hand is the BEST…

sizing aside, I hate how they mix the maternity in with the plus sizes. confusing AND offensive, all rolled in one! *kitten*. also, one of the girls working there looked at a shirt labeled 20W and told me it was "20 Wide". I understand you don't have to be educated to work at Target, but I wanted to punch her in the damn…

You look amazing! Also, your facial hair is glorious

You look great! Awesome job on your progress!

amazing!!

When people ask personal questions, I usually call them out on it. I think it's weird that the average person thinks that everything is their business. HIPAA only applies in the medical field; you can't sue a PTA mom for telling someone your flu shot status, that's just gossip. Now if the PTA mom were also a nurse, and she…

That's...that's one of the stupidest things I've ever read. They are dumb. You are gorgeous!! Keep it up!

you look amazing!! thanks for sharing!
