How Awesome!!!!!!!!!! You must feel wonderful =)

What a great point! More Children should look up to celebrities like her!!!!!!!!!!! She is a great role model for anyone =)

Awesome! Jen having her ads does the same thing for me!!!!!!!!! I feel like she is watching me =) The ad I cannot stand is the one that says, "1 tip of a tiny belly:" and shows the woman laying down in a bikini and then on the side it has her "slimmer"

Thanks everyone! I was feeling kinda down in the dumps today- because I way planned wrong for the week- and ran out of fresh fruits and veggies- and it's thrown my meals off for the past 2 days... so stepping on the scale was all the encouragement I needed- and I drug through the freezer and found a big bag of vegetables…

i WILL SAY THE Jillian ads help keep me motivated actually... I feel like she is "watching" me from my computer =) I was thinking last night - it would be nice if MFP could do like some other sites do (pogo etc..) where they have ads for Free accounts- but also offer an upgrade- where you can pay 34 a year or something and…

My normal weigh-ins are Fridays. But since we do this on tuesday- I swapped mine- haha I am so tempted to jump on the scale today- because it's been a week from last friday- and I know I'm down because my tuesday weight showed it... just want to know how much =)

I sure can-- sorry I must have set it to friends only- i thought it was public.. going to change it right now =)

That is WONDERFUL =) Where are you located? I'm in Michigan and we're getting a lot of Lake Effect Snow right now- I've shoveled 3 times today also =)

THanks for all of the advice and encouragement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had 3 children- and one will be home from school soon- so I can't just run out the door and go to the gym (and I dont have a gym membership) HOWEVER- I will do some extra exercising tonight =) Add another session on my fitness coach for wii or something =) I'm…

nevermind- when i added my photo and did it- only said "Morbidly Obese".. not that that's much better...

Gotta love when I put in my weight of 290 that it shows red and labels it SUPER OBESE...

Check this one out- it actually uses your photo-- not a vector image of "you" http://www4.weightmirror.com/weightmirror/index.php?id=

oh my word. AMAZING!!!!!!!!! How inspirational! You hardly even look like the same person =) What a great accomplishment. I am so proud of you!

WOW! Thanks so much for sharing! Nothing inspires me more than looking at before and after photos =) Especially when they are moms- my age- and started at the same weight I did... truly inspirational. They all look amazing! That is my new goal- to be featured on that segment and promote MyFitnessPal =)

(i keep getitng this thread mixed up with the *other* BL challenge- so I have to make sure and search for the one that C started- ) ANways... I need help with exercise. I need some serious motivation. I started this week proclaiming that my challenge was to not go over my calories and make healthy food choices and to…

Awesome! You look great!!!!! What a great inspiration for all of us :wink:

Stevia is fine- it's not a chemical... we grow stevia in our garden =)

You crave it- because the food is made so that you do! Fast Food is as addictive as Heroin! I have struggled with the same thing- Fast Food, especially Taco Bell. Here is what has helped me. Avoid driving past them. I know it sounds crazy- but it's the same mentality of recovering alcoholics- many of them won't drive…

First off- You are beautiful. And I NEVER would have guessed your weight is 260 from the pictures! I would have guessed somewhere around 190-200 range. WOW! I'm 290 and look it- (even when I was down to 250) and I am 5'7"! I hear you though.. my hip bones stick out... but my top half is soo big. My arms are probably the…

One more thing I forgot to add.. Can you cook meals????? I cook the meals here at our house. My grandma, if she cooks will cover all the veggies with butter and salt.. so I cook the meals- and serve them PLAIN... (just steamed or whatever) and if they want to put butter or salt on- fine- but they do it on their own.

YES! My family had some financial problems and moved in with my grandparents- but now they need us here to help- so we are still here. They ALWAYS have sweets. It's so tempting. My grandma makes cookies/cakes/pies almost daily. They eat them for breakfast- for snacks with coffee and for something sweet after dinner. It is…

This is the only thing that I don't like about the show- it sets unrealistic expectations. They work out as many hours as most people spend at work all week. Try to keep that in mind. And one posted above me said it correct- when you have a lot of weight to loose- it comes of quickly in the beginning....

You can never use Wikipedia as a good source for ANYTHING- it's edited and updated by USERS. Anyone can make an account and change things and/or put their own opinion into something. Wiki is never valid as a research tool =) Very interesting topic though =) All the better if it is true- because i fill up on so much…

Ooops- I think I posted my start weight earlier today on the *other* biggest loser challenge. This has me confused. LOL Anyways- this is the one I want to do- the one going for the entire season. So my start weight is 290.4lbs

Keep us posted =) I know it's easy when you're out of a relationship to just remember the good times. I'm not being negative here at all- sometimes you just need a break and some space to figure out what/who you really need and want- and sometimes it's someone you've already been with =) I'm happy for you. Please keep us…

Today my starting weight for the biggest loser challenge is 290lbs. I think it would be great too- if at all possible if we all did Pictures each or every few weeks =) I have to wait until my husband gets home tonight- but I am planning on doing a "before" picture for this =)

I am in the same situation. We are living with my grandparents- started out because we had some financial problems and now it's turned into they need us here to help them live everyday. However, my grandma and grandpa LOVE their sweets- and they are all over the house. (somedays they eat pie for breakfast.. and they ALWAYS…

Please don't think I am crazy- but honestly when it's that time of the month and the cramps are bad and I'm feeling like a snack--- I have an orgasm. Orgasms contracts your uterus- and in return will help with the cramping... trust me- you will feel better... and the distraction of it will make you forget all about food.…

Count me in also!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting the 30 day Shred today- and just realized BL starts tomorrow- and was coming here to make a thread to start a challenge to go along with the show- but see that you already have =) Yay!!!!!!!! Are we taking measurements also?

Great question. Honestly, I couldn't even count how many times I've tried to lose weight. I remember vividly the first time I was on a "diet".. I was in 5th or 6th grade and my mom bought me RIchard Simmons Deal a Meal and then one of the Sweatin To The Oldies workout tapes. I don't remember sticking to the meals very much…
