5'9" 174 lbs and I wear a 12-14 depending on the brand.

I'm bored in the office this morning, so challenge accepted! :::scans office for some sort of weight....discovers a can of soup on desk...tip toes to the office door and discretely closes it...GAME ON!::: Edit: can of soup and work pants are not compatible, too slippery, but heavy dansko shoes are proving enough weight to…

NM= my home state New Mexico Terp=a playful abbriviation for my profession; interpreting

Ditto!

I need friends too! The more comments, the more motivated I am to keep going. I'm good about commenting on others' posts too. I'll send you a friend request. Others are welcome to friend me as well. The more, the merrier.

Hi, I've been there. I got frustrated last time and gave up. I ended up gaining back pretty much all of what I lost. So I'm back at it again. So save yourself the trouble and learn from my blunder--don't give up. Good advice on the HIIT and eating back your exercise calories. If you're not hungry, maybe you could drink a…

I'm trying to come up with something saucy, not slutty, where I don't completely freeze. Ideas?

when people pronounce especially, "ex-specially" and when folks say they're going to the "liberry" There are no berries in Library!

You always have to try on sizes at Old Navy. I complained about this once to my aunt and she gave me some insight into how clothes are made. The fabric is stacked and cut in mass, so depending on where it is in the stack, it will be dead-on accurate, or could be bigger/smaller. Old Navy mass produces clothes in order to…

I'm an American Sign Language Interpreter and YES I absolutely love my profession! It's challenging, dynamic, human focused, and very rewarding. I work in every setting imaginable, so I never get bored and my brain gets to work double time to process and produce two languages. Coolest. Job. Ever.

I log in daily from my computer and phone and I love to cook. I'm not on a restrictive diet, but I keep my eyes open for gluten-free meals since folks around me are GF. I could use more interactions on MFP, so anyone interested in adding me, please do so!

Ditto! I'm on week three of the healthy life style. I lost a bunch of my buds since I went AWOL and could use some new folks to help keep me motivated. I'm currently doing the Rockin' Body DVDs, but I've also been known to walk, swim, elliptical, and dabble in couch25K. Add me, if you'd like.

Sincerity makes all the difference! Congrats on your loss thus far. Love that 30DS!

Albuquerque, New Mexico (and yes, that IS a state in our union :wink: )

I'm a breakfast on the go kind of girl. I usually force some Dr. required yogurt down the hatch, a piece of fruit, and something else that I typically make on the weekend and have easily available for the rest of the week, like these... Breakfast cookies! Yes, I said cookies. Breakfast cookies - 3 mashed bananas (ripe),…

Girl, I feel ya. My ex liked his women larger and was always sabbotaging my efforts. He too had a high metabolism and could eat whatever he wanted. He was the king of fast food too and would always make snarky comments when we ate out like, "I don't know what you can eat! You're the one with restrictions!!" You've lost a…

bump What else do you make? I'm on a very strict budget as well, and always on the look out for something new.

I get bored easily so I try to shake things up with the following: Baby carrots, sliced cucumber (when I get bored of the plain cucumber I make a cucumber salad w/sugar substitue), sliced bell peppers, snap peas, grape tomatoes, watermelon (in bite size pieces), berries (whatever is a good price that week), celary,…

THANKS!

Grrr, that didn't work at all. Oh well.

Wow...fantastic progress! You look great and I bet you feel even better. You've got some awesome goals too; thanks for the inspiration.

While I don't have PCOS, I do know what it's like to be tall and "hide" weight. I'm the same height and have been struggling to get to 145 for a while now. I hope to reach my goal by my birthday (end of July as well). It may be frustrating, but I'm determined to meet my goals. Feel free to add me as a friend; we can…

bump... this is my motivation on the days I want to give up or think it can't be done because ya'all prove that it most certainly CAN be done. Thanks for sharing!

LOVE that there's a thread of tall ladies! I always feel like odd bird out. I'm 5'9 and my ultimate goal is to be between 135-145, but I seem to get stuck around 149-155. I've let my life take control of my habits lately and I'm back on the bandwagon today, so if there's anyone looking for friends and motivation, feel free…

I'm starting today and I'm nervous. I'm extremely uncoordinated, but I figure that at least no one can see me flailing about in my living room, so I might as well give it everything I've got.

I joined one that's open. The challenge is to burn 5,000 calories each week this month. If you'd like to join, just scroll through my posts til you get to Monday, 01/02/12. Good luck!
