I managed not to gain an ounce since last Sunday. :)

Once a week, same day, same time.

You are such a beautiful girl no matter what size you were, but you're fantastic and healthy now. GOOD JOB!!

I am a member of Planet Fitness and I see people wearing clothing like that all the time and they were never told to leave. Must be a Michigan thing.

Thanks for sharing!! I find maintaining a challenge even though I really didn't lose that much. I've been maintaining for about 4 years but I wanted to lose another 10 lbs but I just can't get there. However, I am happy though that I never gained back the weight I lost and to me that is rewarding. I do go up a lb and then…

LOL :laugh:

My mother in law did that. I thought i was creepy. Never took a picture of anyone who passed away. I prefer to remember them alive and vibrant and my memory takes care of that for me. So sorry for your loss.:brokenheart:

Sizes are all over the place. Years ago the better made clothing stores sized their clothing smaller. Vanity sizing is what we called it. There was no such thing as a size 0-2 as far as I know because I knew no one who ever fit in that size. My sister weighed 108 when she got married and wore an 8. Sizes years ago had…

It's vanity sizing....

I am almost 5'5" and weigh 165 lbs. which is my goal weight right now. I can fit in size 10 pants and size 12 pants, Funny thing is I wore the same size 35 lbs ago when I was young. Sizes are all over the place in today's society. In my entire life I never was in a SINGLE digit size. I don't worry about sizes. If it looks…

At her age, the skin actually can be firmed up amazingly with exercise. I am sure she did a lot of training with weights and firmed up quite a bit of the skin.

I think she looked terribly thin but I suspect it was the fierce competition she was up against. Most of the former winners gained about 15 to 20 lbs after the finale and I suspect Rachel will too. Heck 105 for 5'5 at her age really isn't that much underweight. Most of my friend at that age weighed about 115.....or 110. I…

You are amazing!!! I am truly happy for you!!

Death by Marriage...LOL I have a Kindle and I practically finish a book each day....and I work full time. LOL I am a very, very fast reader.

You look fabulous!! Good job!

Great job!!! and Loved the music!! Congrats!

I am so damn proud of you Jonathan. Posting with you day in and day out is so inspiring to me. As someone mentioned, your writing is amazing. We go way back to message boards where I had no idea how much you weighed and I always enjoyed your posts and company. But today you made me so proud to see that you made your goal…

Absolutely!!!

I net about $4k a month working as a legal assistant in NY, but it's all relative because cost of living here is extremely high.

NO Way. Your hair is GORGEOUS!! Take it from me, hair is the crowning glory for a woman. You can put it up and do so much with it. Trim of course, but don't cut it. Actually you could take off 12 inches of it and it would be easier to maintain and still beautiful. Donate the hair that you cut. It looks so healthy. Oh how I…

I maintain within 1 lb up or down and still don't deprive myself of foods or treats I want. I am actually only .6 over my goal weight but it shows 1 lb. above.

Muscle weighs more than fat.....LOL It just takes up less space but a ton of steel and a ton of feathers weighs the same, a TON.

My goal is NOT to GAIN over the holidays. I am hoping to just maintain....so count me in. If I lose, even better.

I'll add you and going to ask my friend to add you....he will be a great inspiration for you. He's lost 186 lbs. since the beginning of the year.

I was UP 2 lbs. but didn't log it because it will be gone in a day or so. I enjoyed the day and overate but who cares. I don't do this every day. :smile:

totally AMAZING!! Your transformation is AWESOME. I struggled to lose only 30 lbs....you are an inspiration to me. GOOD JOB!! You are totally beautiful!!

When I was 38 I weighed close to 140 lbs. I was 5 4 1/2 inches tall....or thereabout....I weigh 25 lbs. more now but I am 30 years older. I don't know how to post my picture so I changed my picture to show how I looked at 140 lbs. Tell me do you think I was overweight??? And to be honest I didn't exercise one iota. Looking…

You don't sound crazy to me. 30 years ago I was 130, today I weigh far more and I am totally happy with my weight. 155 to 160 is fine for me.

Perfect example.

I don't call it cheat days. There are days, not many, where I do not watch my caloric intake as much as others. Could be a special occasion, could be something totally unexpected. Thanksgiving and Christmas are days I prefer not to log foods because I could never realistically know the exact calorie count, so I will just…
