Hello! I'm from the STL area as well! :) Anyone can feel free to add me also!

Absolutely wonderful, my dear. :) You are and always will be an inspiration! We are so proud of you! Btw, that dress is perfect!

Hey there! I started at about 315 pounds and am down to 275. My GW is about 180, so I still have quite a way to go. 100+ to lose people -- ADD ME. :) Hoping to give and receive encouragement. :) We can do this together!

Hello! Four years ago, I decided to make the switch to veganism and over the course of 4-5 months (with exercise, of course) I went from 275 to 200 pounds. I know much of it was the exercise, but I think a lot had to do with my diet change as well. After about a year as vegan, I switched to vegetarianism because I missed…

Scissor Sisters -- anything from their new album!

CONGRATS! :)

Welcome to the site, Julie! I have about 110 pounds to lose; would love to follow you and join you on your journey! We can do it! :D

Ooo Idk.. Tennis and badminton sound good. I've never been much of a runner but for some reason, I've really been wanting to play soccer lately, haha. I also like hiking.. Although Liverpool probably won't be the best place for that, haha. And I'm not sure where would be. :/

Hey there! I'm in the St. Helens area for the time being, but moving up to Liverpool on Tuesday (only for two weeks tho, haha). Since coming to the UK my exercise has SERIOUSLY been lacking. I'd love some sort of workout buddy! I might be able to swing a few things next week if you're interested. :)

This is GREAT! Congrats to you, my friend! :D

Try the vegetarian diet. :) I had tremendous success and lost over 60 pounds already. Now, I'm just trying to lose the rest.

I lost about 65 pounds in 2009 and began gaining it all back as soon as I stopped working out. I'm trying to lose it all again but it's proving much harder the second time around. It practically fell off the first time. It's taking longer now though.

keep it up, sista, and we will be there soon enough. we can take our old fat pants, cut them open on one side, then sew two pairs together and make a freaking blanket! i look forward to the day. :)

Awesome job! A great NSV indeed! xx

Voted for your baby girl! Such adorable, chubby cheeks! SO CUTE! We're here for you on your weight loss journey. :) I'm from the St. Louis area, but on the Illinois side (just about 20 mins outside downtown). I'm sending you a friend request which will come along with encouragement as well, provided you accept. ;)

ow ow! go girl! you look fantastic!

These sound great! Best of luck, m'dear! :) I haven't set my mini goals yet, but I plan to get started soon!

WOW! You look fantastic! What did you do to make it fall off so quickly?

Old Navy has an EXCELLENT plus size selection and it's CHEAP! I think it's online only though, so it's hard deciding what will and what won't fit. The stores closest to me have a few plus size things but not nearly as much as the site. Other places I would recommend would be Torrid and Lane Bryant, though quite are a…

awesome. :) thanks.

i agree with all of these. :) especially "just saying". "asdfa;lfkja;fdl.. just saying. ;) " O_O yes, we know. because you are JUST SAYING. so you don't have to say "just saying", ya know? -sigh- humanity.

hahaha thaaanks! i got bored with a picture of myself and microsoft paint one night... :D wanted to see what my hair would look like in different colors..

That is brilliant! Thank you (all of you) for your advice and suggestion! :D

I'm a proud vegetarian for two and a half years now! :) I was vegan for 6 months before, but gave it up when I moved to the Netherlands for a few months, as I couldn't read any labels and was barely eating! haha

Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww! And yay! :D Thank you - I've been doing the whole "well, it's just water weight" and believing that my weight fluctuates by 2-4 pounds every day, so that really helps. :)

I was in Alton tonight visiting my sister.. We had hail, but it wasn't too bad. I heard Troy got worse, and the Belleville area even moreso!

You look awesome! Keep it up girl! I'm going to add you now. :)

Hello there! From Troy/Collinsville IL, near Belleville, on the Illinois side of the river. :) Welcome to MFP!

I work out at night too and have the same problem. :( Sorry dear. <3
