You look like a totally different person. Great job!

Good job! Are you as tough actin' as your Tinactin? :D

I don't know that Snopes.com is the most reliable source, especially in disproving theories like this one. But I've always thought of the whole 8-cups-of-water-per-day as a nutritional suggestion, not a requirement. I don't think that if you drink less water than that you'll curl up into a crisp shell of a person because…

Do the doctors have you on a medicine for the hypothyroidism? Synthroid, levothyroxin, etc. are usually prescribed if your lab results put you far enough into the hypo category. My results always come back as borderline and I was told they won't prescribe meds for that. But I would think if your hypo is severe enough that…

Still not so sure about that one! LOL.

Pictures and measurements! It's hard to see changes on ourselves, but I bet your friends/family have noticed. Definitely take measurements. The numbers on the scale will lie but the numbers on that tape won't!

Sounds and looks yummy! We make salmon patties a lot at home, very similar recipe but I bet tuna is awesome too.

It's hard for me too. I saw where someone else mentioned that it's hard to drink that much of anything, and I'm the same way. I've started trying to drink water everytime I think about it. In doing that I don't always have an accurate count of how much I've had for the day - sometimes I think about it at home, pour a full…

My sister-in-law is a self-proclaimed diva. She's very pretty, thin, intelligent, has her own business that she runs...but she's 35 and not married and comes across as very snobby. She has never been outright rude to me or anything, but she always has this air about her that she thinks she's better than me (and everyone…

My husband is skinny and eats like a 5 year old child. He's extremely picky and mainly only eats pizza (pizza rolls, pizza subs...), chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, and any form of potatoes. That said, it's hard for me to eat a salad when he's chowing down on a half bag of pizza rolls and they smell SO. YUMMY. I've…

Forget about the past week and focus on the future - starting today. You can do this! You've done it before and you kicked butt, so what's changed? You've just got to get back in your groove and you can do that one decision at a time!

I'll look past the fact that you're a Yankee and say thanks for the uplifting words. ;)

Woohoo! Must be awesome to be in the single digits. Way to go! :)

You look great! 30 pounds has made a crazy difference - excited for you to reach your 50 pound mark! :)

Best response thus far! I have a feeling she's intimidated as to your reasons for working out. My husband just started going to the gym a few days a week and it was an adjustment for me - someone mentioned the questions that she might have as to what happens to me after you start looking super hot, what if I don't measure…

You look great, congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? I'm 5'9" and at 239 right now; my goal weight is around 170ish and if I look as great as you at that weight I'll be super happy! :)

Thanks for all the suggestions - planning is definitely my Achilles heel! And it's not because I don't have enough time, it's simply because I'm usually too lazy to get it done. :/ I'm going to try to plan cheats...maybe once every 2 weeks treat myself to something, but exercise to make up for it. I'm very much the type of…

I don't know what I would do other than tell her - as politely as possible - that her house isn't clean enough for my kids to be over there. I think sometimes you can only be straightforward and honest, especially in a situation like this one...and given that it's a matter of cleanliness, not just…

I'm pretty sure Lane Bryant does free fittings as well.

My parents used to make a dish called porcupine meatballs a lot when I was a kid. They used beef back then but we all use ground turkey now instead. You basically cook rice - whole wheat is healthier - and cook it halfway. Mix the half-cooked rice in with turkey and whatever spices and seasonings you would use for regular…

Congrats! You look great. You can really tell in your face. I'm about 5'9" and my starting weight was 241; I'm down 3 pounds now. My goal is 170. According to the BMI calculators that would still have me in the overweight range, but I remember - vaguely, LOL - what I looked like at 170 and I was very happy there. Great job…
