You're so beautiful. Beautiful eyes, beautiful hair!!! Way to go on the transformation. You look amazing! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :love:

Welcome! You will love it. It is awesome, easy, fun, motivating, and it works if you work it!!!!!!! Good luck on your journey. :flowerforyou:

This goes to show how different we all are! I'm 5'7" and 163 pounds and a size 10. I would like to be around 150. Size 8 maybe?:blushing:

Sounds great. I love the TJ Guilt free mac & cheese and ziti with marinara sauce. Easy to grab for lunch some days, and tastes yummy. I'm definitely going to look for the pizza at my TJs. Thanks:flowerforyou:

DITTO!!! Took me 6 months. But if I had been more "strict" with myself, I think it would have been sooner. Sustainable for me as well, and have never felt deprived or hungry!

My "thin" pants (size 12) are feeling baggy today- in the butt -my biggest "asset." - Woo hoo!! I can't believe I'll be comfortably wearing size 10 soon!!

bump for later

Thanks for sharing your story and your pictures. You are so beautiful!!!!!! You really look like a model now!!!!!!! Unbelievable transformation. THANKS for the inspiration!!!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I LOVE my OXO brand food scale.

LOVE the 80's shoulder pads too!!!!! LOL

LMAO!!!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!!!!!! I needed it!! :bigsmile:

Yes!!! Agreed!!!! I have been doing it for about 4 months now, and when I miss a day, I don't feel as good, and I feel a little "off" all day. It has gotten easier, and just part of my routine now. My husband gets up for work at that time (4:40 a.m.:yawn: ) so I feel like if he can do it, so can I. Also - when you work out…

YESS!!! YESS!!!! YES!!!! I recently got a Polar FT7 and I love it. To my surprise, the cardio machines at the gym were WAY over estimating the number of calories I was burning - even after entering my weight into the machine. Some of them (elliptical, i.e.) were over estimating by as much as 100% - So if I really burned…

Gadget - hands down my Polar heart rate monitor (Digital scale a close 2nd) :wink: Food - Greek Yogurt - so much protein - it really stays with you!

I agree. I'm 5'7" and fitting nicely in size 12's. I currently weight 169. Most of MY weight is in butt and thighs. Looking forward to size 10 - I'm thinking another 15 pounds or so.

My initial goal is 150 - which I think I'd be happy at. But we'll see when I get there. It's hard to imagine being in the 140s, but maybe I can do it. Wherever I end up, I want to be able to maintain it!!! I've never been lower than 150 and a size 10. Time will tell!

1. Yes 2. Yes - 25 pounds in 4 months. 3. Love the way you posed this question!!!! :drinker:

You ARE an inspiration to others!!!! Congratulations and THANKS FOR SHARING THIS!!!! If ya don't mind, I'm going to print it out, and read it over and over and over. I believe everything you have said to be the truth - and I know it will be my truth too!!!! I love this website, and although my "loss" is much smaller than…

this was in response to the rice krispies!!

I make them in the microwave. It's soooo much easier than on the stove. Do you do that too?? I use a big tupperware bowl, and nothing sticks to it after I stir it all up and put it into the pan!! Takes like 5 minutes total to make!!! Like pressing the "easy button." :wink:

So sorry. Welcome back. Good luck to you on your journey.

Good for you!!!! Way to turn a negative into a positive. Keep doing what you're doing. Forget the rest. It's about you!!! Nobody else. My husband actually gives me a hard time some mornings about going to the gym!!! "you're killing yourself" "take a break" - we must do what's best and right for us. Congrats on the smoking…

Greek Yogurt!! Lots of protein - keeps me satisfied for a long time! :)

It totally makes sense. My daughter (15 years old) got me on this sight, but as I go along, I realize I don't even want HER to see everything I've written and shared. Once she threw something in my face that I had written. It was a post about not eating "Peeps" at Easter. When we were in the grocery store together she said…

Wow!! Your true beauty comes through in your eyes and smile - in your after pictures. You look happy from the inside out. Nice job!!! I started at similar weight and want to get to your weight - so thanks for the inspiration. Way to Go!!!!!! Awesome~~~:drinker:
