I remember this too. I bought clothes at every other size for the most part. Work clothes, I think I had black, gray and brown pants that I just rotated through. It was hard, but not worth spending too much money. 4 I donated my clothes to Goodwill along the way and like Seltzermint said, I don't feel the need to have as…

Plain Greek yogurt with ice cream sandwich protein powder is my new go to. I just did this the other day when I was out of almond milk.

I would love to be up late every night, prefer the night, but have to get up at 6am to get to work on time. Saturdays I can't sleep in past 7 after getting up all week, but Saturday night I end up staying up late and sleeping as late as I want on Sundays. I did challenge myself in May to stop hitting the snooze button,…

People tell me I look younger now and I feel younger. I also get told I look taller :smile:

I have also been to the gym after drinking, but only one beer. My trainer and I became good friends and we would have a training session, then he would come over for dinner and beer afterwards. That is how I paid for my sessions for 3 months - food and beer. My Saturday morning boot camp instructor was used to us coming to…

I have been know to stay in mine on a Saturday or Sunday if I am cleaning around the house. Week nights, I come home, walk the dog and strip in front of the washer and throw it directly in. I don't want that sweaty close even in my laundry basket in my closet with the clean clothes.

I did my first Triathlon before goal weight and didn't run at all. If you do the triathlon, you are a triathlete in my opinion. I will say the triathlon community was wonderful, as slow as I felt, they accomplished ones were encouraging and awesome. It did make me feel like a true athlete. It is an amazing feeling when you…

Last compliment I got was: you have such a fun personality Best compliment I have gotten: You are an inspiration

Agree, that is awful!

I sweat too much to exercise at lunch, by the time I showered and got ready to go back to work, I wouldn't have much time to work out. I do try and get up and walk around more than I used to. I take long routes, I don't call people and go by their desk instead. I am the first person willing to go pick something up or drop…

I don't post selfies, but I do post when I had a really great workout or when I complete a triathlon or good run. It inspires some people.

I try for every other Wednesday. I forget sometimes and don't worry about the weight as much as I used to. When I started, I weighed at 5pm every Monday, but only because that was when I had my training sessions and he weighed me. It was great motivation then, I had a lot to lose and it was coming off pretty fast. Now, not…

I am more confident My dog gets more exercise I watch less TV I have gotten my friends to do things that are not food and beverage related(well, not until we cross the finish line) We do several runs throughout the year. I sleep better I acquired really bad sweet tooth after losing 100+ pounds(this is not good, but true…

Ha, I donated yesterday. Maybe next time I weigh myself the scale will be nice :)

I agree, seems like most people are upset to lose the weight in the boobs, I wish I did. I am currently a 34G...not the easiest size to find. The band size keeps gettting smaller, but the cup size stays the same.

Lots of water, 1-2 Coke Zeros a week, beer (too much beer on the weekends)

I've had a personal trainer for almost 5 years. The first year I went once a week and lost almost 100 pounds while working with him. I was at the gym a lot more than once a week, but he helped me with fitness and nutrition. Then I went to every other week, so he could give me some new things to do in the gym and make sure…

My tattoo looks exactly the same, but it is on my back

I agree with this, I thought I would love shopping more once I was out of plus size, but it really just made shopping overwhelming at first. Being 40 something and trying to find something age appropriate is tough.

It was way more expensive that I expected....over and above the money that I spent on my gym and my trainer, there was new clothes, including the undergarments, rings were all too big, new work out clothes on top of the other clothes (multiple times after 120 pounds) new shoes (my feet shrunk) I sleep a lot better, not…

I make some egg muffins in cupcake form, make a double batch and freeze. Then I just cook them in the microwave when I want them. I started with a recipe and now kind add whatever sounds good. The usual is 10 eggs mushrooms red peppers frozen spinach, thawed and drained well turkey sausage 2-3 cups shredded cheese (any…

I spend $50 - $60 a week on myself for just food. I do cook most all my meals and go out maybe 1 dinner a week. There are sometimes when I can spend very little because I so many leftovers in the freezer :)

This only happens to me when swim. It's awful. If I swim in the morning before work, I could eat all day and feel like I am hungry all day.

I so agree with you on this. I used to where a cheap one that was really too small. It was uncomfortable and I felt like i might fall out of it. I am willing to spend the extra money for a couple really good sports bras to keep them in place :)

I wear a 34G, not the easiest to find. I workout a lot, so finally invested in some that are fit to the bra size. I like the Shock Absorber once I got used to putting it on - it has two clasps in the back. The onther one I like is by Wacoal - it is an underwire one. Holds the girls in place pretty well and actually gives…

Exhaust fans, drive me crazy. A guy at work that chews with his mouth open and smacks his lips. Great guy, but eating lunch at the same time is tough

Yes, I would feel worse if I didn't exercise. It helps me with the fatigue. The scale is awful then so I avoid it and don't worry about it.

Have you contacted their customer service. They are very helpful. They replaced one for me that wasn't charging properly. They paid for shipping both ways. I have also read comments from people that have lost theirs and they replaced them. I like mine. It makes me get up and move a little more that I used to. Last night my…

I agree with you and did it the same way. It is funny when people ask how I lost the weight and when I tell them I eat less and move more, some lose interest. I think they were hoping I will tell them about the secret pill. Then there are the people that listen and them tell my a crazy diet I shoud try....generally from…

Usually 6, but one is usually an easy workout. I got into such a habit that if I don't have other plans, its hard for me not to go to the gym right after work.
