Wow, I never expected to get this many responses- SO helpful! I read through everything and I am so glad to know that I am not alone in feeling this way. Reading all of your encouraging words really made me think and want to push myself even more! There is no way I am giving up!!!!!!!!!!! :) I am going to try all of these…

Thanks for the suggestions! You're right...I have really nothing to be afraid of. If it works, it works, if not, well then I'll try something else. But I am certainly going to try this beginning next week!

I really want to try eating back my calories because I feel like I've stalled a bit...but I am terribly afraid it will backfire for me. Anyone else?

I'll Join! Starting Weight: 234 (1/16/11) Current Weight: 193 (3/27/12) Memorial Day Goal: 183 (10 lbs lost from now) Ultimate Goal: 175 by June 30th.....and then I'll make another goal after that!!! :)

Columbus!

I would like to lose 3 pounds to get me into the 180's.

I am on Day 29...tomorrow will be my last day...and I definitely am seeing results. Not sure exactly what they are yet (waiting until I'm finished to measure/take "after" pics) but I've definitely had people stop me and notice and I FEEL thinner and more muscular, particularly in my arms and abs.

Nachosssssssssss

I have to agree with what many have said- you just *know*. It's the weirdest feeling but somehow you just know. I have known since a few months in and regardless of the problems we've had, I've never doubted our relationship. It's just like something clicks inside you and you know. I dated someone before for 7.5 years and…

For me personally, this is all about a lifestyle change and not a diet. With that in mind, I know that I can allow myself to eat pretty much whatever I want on those types of occasions when I'm out with friends or whatever, as long as I'm not doing it all the time. If the majority of my eating is healthy, I don't see how…

Same thing with me!!! Two glasses of wine and I'm down for the count!

bump.....anyone?

I seriously thought I was the ONLY person who got like this! During mine I feel ravenous at all times! It has calmed down a bit since I've lost some weight but still- it's like I cannot control it.

You look great! I am about 5'3" and right now I am aiming for 175. Was previously at 242 and am currently at 201. 135 seems so low to me (probably because that would be over a 100 pound loss for me) but that is what I have heard is "healthy" for someone our height. Keep up the great work :)

anyone know what size weights?

I conned my bf into taking me on Saturday! CANNOT WAIT!!!!! :D

I'm nervous about the holidays too. I think the key will just be to allow myself to eat what I want as long as I really watch the portion sizes. It's a time to celebrate, so I don't want to make myself miserable longing for that cookie, but in the same token I also don't want to overdo it. I think I will also exercise a…

I only eat milk on cereal and I really like the taste of the unsweetened vanilla almond milk on cereal.

You look so fantastic! Very similar to my starting size and current size- you have inspired me to work even harder!

yup. huge thighs here.

Thanks for the responses- now I'm definitely not too worried about it. :)
