I have a purple dress that looks very similar to your red dress that I can't wait to fit into again! I actually have it hung on the wall in my closet so every time I go in there I can see it and be reminded of my goals. I still have about 2 sizes to go, but hopefully by the time it gets warm enough to wear it again it will…

Wendy's and Subway are my go-to fast food places when I have to grab something on the road (I travel a lot for work). Wendy's I get the Grilled Chicken Sandwich meal (no sauce on the sandwich) and I substitute a side salad with ranch dressing instead of fries (I only use half the packet of dressing and don't eat the…

You say you don't know where to start, but by making this post you made a very important first step. I think a lot of us felt similarly when we first got started...the "what ifs" can be overwhelming. But like concordancia said, you can't be worse off. There may be days where you "fail"...you go way over calories, you don't…

I use videos called "10 minute solutions". They are great if you're in a time crunch and have limited space. I live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment and can do all of them without leaving the area rug I have in my living room. Even when I really really don't feel like working out, I force myself to do one 10-minute video at…

Definitely need the motivation! Feel free to add me as a friend for more support too :) I'm going on a beach vacation at the end of the month.

Not sure how to edit my original post, so just quoted it to be able to update today.

I work for Girl Scouts. It's a slow torture being surrounded by literally hundreds of thousands of boxes on a daily basis. :devil: Not only that, but we also have emails going out to staff about how sales are going, cookie dessert challenge going on, staff cookie contest...etc etc etc. My willpower has never been tested so…

Feel free to add me as well, I love having new friends. I put on a lot of my weight when I was with my (now ex-) boyfriend who was in the "eat whatever I want and never gain weight" club and I didn't pay attention to my own weight while I was with him. I have 50 lbs to lose total, 16 of which are already gone!

Sending you warm thoughts (and a friend request!) from sunny Phoenix, AZ. :glasses:

Hi there! I have about the same to lose as you. I actually started at 189, currently at 173 (woohoo!) and GW is 140. I'll send a friend request...love having others as motivation! This is also my second time around trying MFP, I've been very consistent the last few months and love the results. I try to eat mostly fresh,…

I have a pair of shorts I always wear over my bathing suit. Last time I wore them, I had major muffin top and they were skin tight on my thighs. I put them on earlier this week...no muffin top and they were loose on my thighs! It was great inspiration for the work I still need to do before I go on a beach vacation at the…

I love www.mybodygallery.com You enter weight, height, body shape, clothes size, etc and it pulls up pictures that real women have submitted. I like it because a certain weight can look different on every 5'3" person, but by putting in your body shape and/or what clothes size you want to be at, it gives a good idea what it…
