Thank you so much guys! I had some fun with my style before, but I must say, having lost a decent amount of weight gives you a confidence that you simply cannot buy but that confidence makes you more daring to try out new styles and trends (hence the blue & purple hair). To live boldly has been the biggest gift.

Thanks so much! Also for those of you interested here's the update on my weight loss that I posted this past Friday: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10316100/my-2-year-fitversary-with-pics

Thank you so much guys! I'm not at my fitness goals yet... I was hoping to be at a solid 160 lbs by now. But I think I'll be there pretty shortly. I'm not a huge fan of my paunch in my side shot but lifting heavy should help with that *fingers crossed*.

Thank you Kristina! I always love seeing your lovely face in my MFP newsfeed. Keep up the great work! We're in it together. B)

Thanks guys! I must say, a major part of my initial and continued success is the great community here on MFP. Your encouragement keeps me going :smiley:

All lace boy-cut panties show no seams for me. Also, you might want to just look up No-Show or Seamless Panties. Here's a link to ones at VS https://www.victoriassecret.com/panties/no-show-and-seamless

Great story D! I think a lot of people will be able to relate and be inspired. Thanks for being my friend on MFP. :)

That's like nearly 2.5lbs per week loss! Incredible!

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you all an update. I've been maintaining pretty well since my OP as I'd wanted to give my skin some time to shrink... which I think worked well. I'm down 59lbs total and everything is tightening up nicely :) Here are some recent pics! PS; first time baring my tum tum on the internet... eek!…

You rock! Keep up the good work. :)

^ exactly! Best way to measure peanut butter (all spreads really) is to put the jar on the scale, hit tare, and scoop out your portion onto whatever (piece of bread, etc.). The scale will tell you exactly how much was removed from the jar. Then you get to lick the spoon/knife too.

Congrats on your success! I wish I had your foxy tanned legs!!!

Yes! Please listen to mamapeach. She knows her stuff. I am forever grateful for my digital kitchen scale. Cause really, what is a medium apple, or a tablespoon of peanut butter?

I'm 5'7" and currently 181.5lbs down from 238lbs. There is a way to tell if you actually are big boned http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/17182.htm. But I would go with your gut regardless of whatever friends say. Many people who have had a fair amount of weight to lose find themselves resetting their goal…

I just want to say thank you to MM for posting this video!! I weigh all my foods and liquids when possible. I have never seen a stronger case for using a digital scale than THIS.

Wow! You have great dedication and it's really paid off! Congrats on your success. :smile:

If it's anything like the Fitbit you need to enable the negative calorie adjustment.

Thank you for the encouragement guys! I'm in it for the long haul. It's been a struggle lately as this winter weather keeps me from really doing my favorite exercise: long walks... it's too damn cold and icy!

:blush: You guys are wonderful! Thank you all for your kindness.

You have been such a wonderful presence on MFP for me. Always supportive! We've been on here for roughly the same amount of time so I know that you are just as dedicated as I am. I've got a lot to work on macro-wise and fitness-wise this year. We're in it together baby! <3

You Sir, are awesome! Dads who can communicate their thoughts and feelings, even just in written form, will always be ace in my book. I'm sure your daughter will treasure this letter forever.

Thanks guys! I feel awesome!

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words. I am really overwhelmed (in a good way!) with the positive vibes. <3

Thanks! I love playing around with makeup. Gotta have confidence to wear that look out of the house though ;) Normally I tame it down a bit.

No more insulin injections? That's so awesome! And congrats on a weight loss too! :)

Thank you! I have always been in the photography/design/visual arts field. My love of fashion was there from the beginning but I find now it's getting easier to dress how I want and really curate my look. Plus-sized clothing manufacturers have come a long way style-wise, but getting out of plus-size and finding clothes…

Thanks! I didn't even realize I had a jawline now until I looked back at old photos where it was chin upon chin.

Thank you! I just want my gut to catch up with my skinny legs! lol!

Thank you! All of your kind words mean a lot to me. :)
