You look awesome!

I decided to use a D-ring type belt while I lose weight. It probably helps that I don't have to dress up for work. Though I did get some suspenders for my "dress" pants. They probably don't count as dress pants when I plan on pairing them with a bright blue Doctor Who shirt.

Thank you so much. I'm glad I'm not the only one doing things entirely out of my comfort zone and having a blast. I like that I'm not in an adult class cuz I love interacting with young children. They are so full of energy, but sometimes that energy is a bit overwhelming as I can barely make it through dance class and they…

I try not to take anything seriously when I'm sick. This last month I had a cold and my scale said I lost 3lbs, but I think that was all snot. My weight did go back up almost two weeks later after my cough disappeared. Being ill does funny things to you so eat well to recover as soon as possible.

My trigger food is any food that I really enjoy that my husband also enjoys. If we get a box of chocolates I'll feel this urge to eat all of them before he can. Or brownies! It's not fun when I'm stuck to max two brownies per day, but by the next day the whole pan is gone. He ate all my brownies!!! And they were goopey and…

I had to buy a new belt, This time I went for a canvas adjustable one so I won't have to purchase again. I've also been able to fit into pants without a muffin top that I couldn't even button up when I started out. I've also had coworkers mention how good I look recently and even my little brother noticed I'd lost weight.…

I think it really depends on your goals and how you eat. I think it's nice to have a day where I'm eating above my typical goal for the day but still decently below maintenance level. Normally I don't plan it, but if there is a potluck I'll try to eat well for my other meals, but I'm not going to freak out because I had a…

I'm 6' and current weigh 244lbs. I'm hoping to get down to 165lbs, but I'd be so happy with anything under 200.

I'm 6' and wear size 10.5 in men's. I love skater shoes. In women's I'm typically a 12 for closed two and will sneak into 11 or 10s for open toe. I'm so jealous of all these people with size 9 and 10 shoes...

A packet of flavored oatmeal (cinnamon roll is my fav). 1 large egg. Mix...add a bit of milk to thin it down. Cook like a pancake. Eat with berries and a cup of milk.

Planks done. That about wore me out. Actually it was probably the hour of dancing that I did first that wore me out.

For me the skinniest I've been was an 8/9(US), but I typically liked wearing a 12. I'm 6'0" and have hips so it's hard to find pant I like since I do not look good in low riding jeans, but I want jeans to fit at my natural waist then they'll never cover my ankles. Hence I buy men's jeans. 34x34 would be my ideal in men's…

It all depends on what works for you. I wake up late and don't eat my first meal till 11am. I typically make up breakfast cuz I love breakfast food and "skip" lunch. I eat a larger snack at work and eat dinner when I get home at 6-7. I'm typically still under 1000 calories so I snack on whatever I like during the evening…

My current favorite is Oatmeal Pancakes. 1 packet of flavored oat meal (Cinnamon Roll is my fav), 1 large egg, a touch of milk to thin it down. Cook it up on the stove. Eat with berries and a cup of milk.

I'm also a Kdrama addict. And Japanese. And Chinese. And Taiwanese. I'm still trying not sure about Thai dramas. Autumn's Concerto is my favorite My favorite Amercian Shows are Castle Once Upon A Time Arrow I just fell in love with Doctor Who this summer, but I can safely say I'm addicted. Most of my TV addiction goes…

Geeks are so awesome. This may be my new favorite thread. I'm a web developer with love for Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Asian Dramas. I even started a blog about dramas and made tons of friends that way including my weight loss buddy. Nothing brings people together like mutual nerdiness.

I go by Deeno. I've been out of college for a few years and I'm married. I want to get back into Irish Dance for the first time since I graduated High School. I've been trying to do stretches and exercises every day to get back into shape since I've gained 100 lbs. I just completed a 30 day challenge for losing 10 lbs and…
