Congrats! Those are the best compliments!

Great story! You do whatever works for you! Congrats on the loss!

I've always been a big girl. First I got pregnant, then I lost 75 lbs. I met and married a guy who wanted me to be lazy and fat, and gained it all back. I lost 50 lbs (and also got divorced,) but last year my mom passed away and I put every single pound back on. I am without a doubt, a stress eater. That would account for…

Working single mom here! I definitely feel your pain, even though I only work 40 hr weeks, it's on second shift which screws the day entirely! Feel free to add me! Always looking for motivational/accountability partners!

Thisssss. You are not a dog, do not reward yourself with food. If I really want to eat something, I will eat it. I don't consider it a reward.

This is me as well. I don't just want to lose weight. If I don't change my eating habits, and that includes the types of foods I eat, the weight will just eventually come back again.

There are a lot of songs that make me move my butt faster but the one that always gets me over that "I can't keep going" hump is Lose Yourself, by Eminem.

This all sounds like very familiar territory to me. I was fat and my husband wanted me to stay that way. Needless to say, we signed divorce papers earlier this year.

I don't like replacing meals with protein bars, albeit, I eat Protein bars as a snack most days.

I feel like MFP overestimates every activity I've tried, especially now that I can compare it to a more accurate count from my heart rate monitor.

Hot momma! You look fantastic!

Shower once a day and sometimes a bath a night.

Agree with the pastel and patterned skinnies being in for the season. I bought some polka dot ones from Torrid that I absolutely love!

I use protein bars as a snack but not as a meal replacement. I do replace meals with shakes though. I feel fuller longer if I make a shake myself in the blender versus a store bought shake as well.

I can't explain how much I love the Enell. It completely changed working out for me. I'm a bit bigger than you but they DO. NOT. MOVE. No more layering bras just to work out. It's not sexy in any way, shape or form but totally worth it.

I have the Polar FT 4. It does exactly what you're looking for. Super easy to use.

Great post! Thanks for putting it all together!

Another lover of the FT4 here. <3

I'm in! I need to kick it up a notch so this will be perfect!
