I didn't know you were from Houston! Awesome. I think there may be one other Texan on the PINK TEAM as well.

Houston / Kemah area but currently living in Tokyo.

Thanks for sharing! Always great to see before and after pics. Really helps keep you motivated!!!

^this^ Nothing I wouldn't do to save my baby. If I couldn't afford it or raise the money I'd work with a rescue that could help. I donate to several of these on a regular basis. I'm a big animal lover so I may be have more exposure to these types of groups. I think a lot of people don't realize they have options and that…

me too :-)

Yep! Totally agree with Sara. Welcome to our world. Also, I never assume that the weird emails I get from other females means they are gay (not that it would matter). If it was actually friends you were seeking ( which I doubt) I'm pretty sure you just lost more than you would have gained with this ridiculous statement.

Yep, I am doing mine from Tokyo, Japan. It can be a right pain in the *kitten*. My suggestion is to get a scale and eat as much raw veggies and such as you can since they are great fr you and easy to look up. I also use the recipe builder and since it allows you to add new foods you can even add Asian products. It's a pain…

Eating Disorders Anonymous. Find a local chapter, go to a meeting and ask for help finding someone that sees people based on income or for free as part of an outreach program. http://www.eatingdisordersanonymous.org/ I don't have an eating disorder so I can't speak from experience but in college a friend used them to help…

My advice is find a good cheap tailor. maybe someone that does it out of their home and get them to take in the good stuff (high quality suits and such). Other than that until you reach your goal weight (or close to) I would say a few key pieces from a second hand shop can go a long way and the clearance racks at TJ Maxx…

You should join us here!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14686-goal-weight-by-december-2013

My suggestion is that you join one of the groups that has the same goals as you and find your friends there. That way you can get support from people that are trying to achieve the same things you are. Not everyone on here has the same goal or plans to achieve it the same way.

I'm not a fan of running anyway because I'm big busted and running is really uncomfortable, so I swim instead. To keep bone density and health you need weight bearing exercise. Since swimming isn't a weight bearing exercise I started weight training a few months ago and then started the new rules of weigh lifting for women…

I started new rules of weight lifting for women about 2 weeks ago and I have also cut all grains and dairy for allergy testing reasons (I already know I am allergic to dairy). AND I FEEL AMAZING and can already see the difference. feel free to add me if you want.

Thanks. I'll check back in a few weeks.

So do I need to be eating back my exercise calories is my net ends up being only 1000 -1200 for the day? I don't want to lose muscle I'm trying to build by taking in to few calories.

I've continued to lose almost every week between .5 - 2 pounds. The Primal eating and no dairy part has really only been the past few weeks. Weight loss rate hasn't changed that much but bloating is way down and sleep is much better. Also I started NROW4W so I'm (hopefully) building muscle which will make the scale move a…

I took wheat, grains and bread and such out for a week or two just to see how my body reacted and with a plan to slowly reintroduce them here and there to see how I did. Mostly because after eating these types of things I have a slightly runny nose and feel kind of blah. So far I was/am feeling great. I did have some corn…

You look great but I like your hair in the old photo!!!

That is so awesome!!! What a great family!!!

I'm in Japan to and everything here is noodles and bread, pastries and breaded fried things or things wrapped in a dumpling type outer shell.

I'm taking in around 100 - 120 grams of carbs a day but none of them come from grains, breads and such. They all come from fruits and veggies. Am I facing the same issues? :-/

A lot of people on here mentioned things said to them as a child that shaped the way they saw themselves from that moment forward. Someone posted this a while back and it is just such a good read and something we all should consider when speaking to our friends, children, loved ones, ect...…

I started NROW4W last Friday!! Add me.

I knew I was gaining weight because my clothes wouldn't fit anymore. Then I'd lose some of it thorough diet and exercise only to quit the routine and gain it back again. I knew I wanted to be back at my old weight before I turned 40 in december 2013, but it seemed so far off that I had plenty of time. Then 2 things…

I'm on workout # 3 of stage one and I am SO SORE!!! ANy suggestions besides the foam roller? I HATE THAT THING!
