  • I would highly recommend Moving Comfort. I'm built quite heavy on the top (DD) and have had chronic issues finding bras that (a) don't chafe and (b) keep everything in place securely.

  • Congrats! I did my first 5k after losing 50 lbs (I think). I did my first half marathon after hitting my goal weight/losing 80 lbs. I am now training for my first marathon.

  • I've had success making low-calorie cabbage rolls. You cal always take one or two to work in a Tupperware. But my go-go lunch is (drum roll please...) an uncooked sweet potato. I know...

  • This is my second go-around with weight loss. The first time: (I believe) it was 2009. I hadn't weighed myself in a long time. I was probably around 240lbs. I checked my blood sugar one morning on my mother's glucose meter. To my shock, it was high. I was visiting my parents and I checked every day (a few times a day) for…

  • Thanks for the input! I've read all sorts of things, and heard all sorts of things. It is always really helpful to learn what personal experiences people have had.
