You look great! Every bit of your hard work shows. Keep it up!

Heart Rate Monitor (WITH A CHEST STRAP!) FitBit DVD's Workout Clothes

A heart rate monitor would be your best bet. Make sure the one you get has a chest strap, as these are the most accurate you can get. If I use MFP estimates for exercises, I ALWAYS under estimate the time I spent doing the activity. If I swim leisurely for 2 hours, I will only put in 1 or 1.5 hours. MFP always seems to…

What about using ankle weights while you Zumba?

Check out my profile. I have several of my tips for success!

493 days running! Please feel free to add me!

Mine said "You have a higher BMI than 100% of females aged 15-29 in the world". I think I'm going to call Bull$hit!

GO! And enjoy! I do it one of two ways... 1 - I list out everything, fill up on salad, and have one plate with very small portions of each thing you want to try, and one SMALL desert. Keep track the best you can. When it is time to log everything, enter calories on the high side. 2 - Eat what you want, put 4000 cals in…

AMEN!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks again everyone! If you sent me a friend request, please be patient with me as I have received over 300 and I am weeding through them.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, kind words, and friend requests! It really has helped me get out of my funk!

I'm glad I could be an inspiration to my fellow MFP's. A few of you made me want to cry! I am so overwhelmed by all the kind words. Thank you so much!

Anyone can add me... I've lost 136 lbs (in 5 years), the last 74 with MFP. I like friends that are serious about the journey...not just "OMG I ate 1201 calories today, what should I do?" SW: 335 MFP SW: 272 CW: 198 GW: 150

First, I would have skin removal surgery (whole body). I would go on a cruise to somewhere tropical. I would pay off my student loans. I would buy a subdivision of brand new houses and give all my family members their own house. I would visit hospital wings that have children with terrible illnesses, learn their stories…

I used PlentyOfFish.com. I met a few guys that I wasn't interested in, but then I met my current boyfriend. We have been together for 3 1/2 years!

During the holidays, I was having a hard time getting motivated to exercise and wanted to eat everything in sight. I read a post from someone on here and it really clicked with me. So, I tried it... Make your daily goal be to maintain your weight. This way you should have a lot of calories each day (mine is 2280). Then you…

I used to do this all the time when I was on Weight Watchers a long time ago.... Take a can of diced tomatoes, add spices (garlic, Italian seasoning, basil, onion powder...whatever you like), add a tablespoon or two of reduced fat cream chesse and microwave it for 1 minute. Then stir and enjoy! It tastes like tomato soup…

Waist extenders...except I use them to make my pants smaller! I bought mine at CVS and they were $10. http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Fit-Instant-Button-Seconds/dp/B004YN0PV8

^^^^ This EXACTLY!!!! My Birthday is 5 days after Thanksgiving. I just know I have to bust my butt at the gym and drink lots of water for the next 2 weeks. One day (well, two) is not gonna kill me.

I'd probably eat half back.

Ever watch the show 1000 Ways to Die? It is great because most of the a-holes dying on the show deserve it. It's like Darwin awards (stupid ways people die) in reenactments. Karma at it's finest, LOVE IT!

Skinny jeans....period! Gladiator sandals Tights worn as pants. Socks with sandals. Kid prints on adults. (looney toons and kitties and such) When heavy people let their shirts ride up and their pants sag down so their big bellies hang out. (I keep my big belly covered.) Scarfs worn in warm weather. Ugh type boots with…
