Congratulations! I love your outlook on life. Inspirational.

I have started going Primal this week but I won't officially start my 21 days body transformation until Mid May. I have an 8 day vacation planned in New Orleans when I will be eating at restaurants 24/7, plus I will be on the road for a funeral and work the rest of this week. I'll do my best to eat clean, but I already…

Dill Pickles. Dill of any kind. I make sure in restaurants to be sure to tell them "NO PICKLE." I grocery stores I have to avoid looking at them because they gross me out. The smell and look of them is revolting. Strangely, I love sweet pickles, so it isn't pickles in general. I once ordered mashed potatoes and they had…

I hate these things too. They look so happy but you know when you drive past those arms are trying to grab you. I wouldn't be caught dead walking past one.

I read this, start to present (I am not going to say finish, because there is no finish!) and I have to say, this is just about the most motivational post I've read on this site. Thank you and congrats! You look so happy!

A woman I work with did the Virgin Diet and figured out she extremely sensitive to gluten. She also has severe arthritis. Just from getting rid of foods that were causing major inflammation in her body, she lost about 25 pounds of inflammation in her body. She has gone off of all her pills that the rheumatologist had…

Amazing. You've come a long way! **hugs**

I'm having my gallbladder out on March 24, 2014. I'm a little nervous about gaining weight afterwards. I hadn't realized it would be a problem.

Take lots of cut up fruits and veggies with you. Don't keep spare change with you-that way you won't have money for the machines. Keep a water bottle close by and hopefully you won't crave coffee or tea -if that's a problem for you.

You look fantastic. Way to stick to it!

I was a volunteer FF for six years. I was seriously overweight for all of those years and it made things really difficult. I actually puked a few times from overextending myself. My husband was the chief and was also overweight. With volunteers, many of them seemed to be overweight. Setting a good example always helps. My…

I have a few Richard Simmons videos but haven't cracked them out in a few years. They were fun but I always found myself a little too uncoordinated and I'd get frustrated. I will have to try them again.

I have a tendency to get a very tender xiphoid and sore sternum. It can often feel Iike pressure and tightness. However it still scares me everytime. I would still suggesting speaking to a doctor, but realize it could be something other than a heart problem.

I'll send you an invite. I just started here recently and I always seem to be on here, trying to learn and stay motivated. Stacie

Flaunt that body!

Welcome! I'm new to the site as well. It seems like staying involved on the site is key to support.

By the end of May I'd like to reach onederland - that's about 30 pounds.

GREAT JOB!

Hi. I'm from Ontario too. Welcome to MFP.

Fantastic job! You look so much younger. :)

I understand wanting to lose weight fast. Personally I have a vacation planned for 3 months from now, but I know setting too lofty a goal is just setting myself up for disappointment. There may be weeks when you lose a larger amount of weight, but there may be weeks you stay the same. this is a normal part of weight loss…

I just started my journey. I have over 100 pounds to lose and I would love to do it by the end of this year. I am looking for supportive friends in a similar situation. I'm not sure what program I will be following yet. Age 40 - 5'4". Add me as a friend for support!
