You are a very pretty young lady. And yes, I can see a difference. Your tummy looks smaller. I can't tell on legs because of the jeans??? Great loss. Keep up the good work. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER BACK DOWN! You can do this...you already made a nice dent!

You look GORGEOUS. Good job on the weight loss. Prayers for continued good health!

aMAZING loss. good for you and your inspiration is good for us!

sorry about the fiance's job. that really stinks for you. beat up your pillow. that sure burn a few calories. and if you have one of those friends who always makes you laugh, find time to call them. :bigsmile:

iSince you mentioned giving up energy drinks.... f you are thinking about low carb, high fat at all...then read the thread on Bulletproof Coffee. It is great for enery and basically, IS your breakfast.

if doc gave you metformin, take it. It helps PCOS along with birth control pills. Metformin has been around since the 70's and is a good, safe drug both for diabetes and PCOS. I had PCOS before they had the name for it (I'm 58) and my 24 year old daughter has it too. Same drugs perscribed for her. I developed diabetes in…

Love the Mumford & Sons reference...

Wow, the Title of this category is 'Chit Chat, FUN, & Games" :bigsmile: Guess all those nice folks so seriously worried about that stability of your marriage didn't realize that. :yawn: But good luck on chosing! I once knew a guy with a fly on his fly. Dang fool would show it to everyone every time he had a few…

WOWOWOW. Great job! You are TRIPLE H !!! Handsome, Healthy, and HAPPY !!! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your story. I, too, really really hope to beat diabetes....or at least put it to sleep!

Best appetite suppressant I ever had. But ya know, I'm kinda thinking bout ordering some of that stuff in prep for The Walking Dead or the Apocolapse...whichever hits first. Cept I live in Central Texas. so we will just probably run out of water first.... p.s. oh H3LL NO. The Russians may have us beat. They got some kinda…

Dear OP: That is a wonderful loss and kudos for you for taking charge of your health. You have done a great job and I know you doc is going to be very pleased. Keep up the good work. I hope dropping gluten gives you the good results you hope for. There are tons of good recipes both here and other places online. OOPSIE…

About Me: I am a stay at home mom with two boys ( 12&7). I love life and want to enjoy it even more! I have 50 pounds I am determined to lose and keep off! I am proactive with my health and losing the extra weight I've put on over these past two years is a big part of it! Why I want to get in shape I love life and my…

girl...what most of us would give to have that body! You are gorgeous. I wouldn't respond at all. Just smile and move away to talk to someone else. at the upcoming family reunion, I'd get something SEXY, FLATTERING, AND ULTR-FEMININE. I would certainly show off what a sexy female you are! Knock'em dead, sweetie. That's the…

fitnessmagazine.com has lots of free exercise plans. there are videos and descriptions. i watched some for hours today and got some great ideas!

Honey I am so sorry and I wish you had read further. I tried to give a detailed explanation of what I ate, what I tried, and why I made the decision I made. I even gave you kudos for your choices. I am sure you are right in your eating lifestyle. I will never again eat a poor murdered little animal and adopt the ONLY way…

Missjulesdid -- GREAT response !

I am with the folks that encourage you to log your food. No one is doubting that you eat healthy, because you said you do. However, if you don't weight/measure and log what you eat, it is truly hard to know what the quantities are. How many cals, too many carbs? enough protein? enough healthy fats? How do you know? This…

okay, I am going to take a deep breath and not respond like my first gut reaction..... 1. "Ethical Vegan" can be construed by many as a fad diet. I don't feel that way but I know folks who do. 2. Eating Gluten Free is absolutely NO comparison to people who tell themself their bodies need CIGARETTES OR BOOZE and that…

douglerner : wow, i always think of vegans eating tons of grains. You are really giving me some new insights -- thanks! also, you probably don't eat eggs or cream cheese, but if you do, then OOPSIE bread is awesome. that is the only ingredients. course you have to make it yourself.

Yes sir....let's do keep it going! I am definitely not one of the diet plan argue-ers I see on here. I really tried different approaches with higher carbs before trying this 'something different'. And I am Certainly not anti-Vegan. I actually toyed with the idea of trying vegan because I don't like the junk they feed to…

I think you are doing a pretty good job with your total number of calories. However, you are young and unfortunately, you seem to eat a lot of junk. Not criticizing---I'm a Mom of a 23 year old daughter who is also trying to lose weight, so I am going to talk to you like I talk to her. Forget all those folks who say a…

Wow. great success. Amazing blood sugar number! It is so strange how our bodies are the same, but respond so differently. I have dropped my cholestrol 40 points to 162 and have a nice h1c of 6.0.....doing it soooo very different from you! I am eating high fat, low carb, moderate protein. How VERY different! and yet, we…

I have a Timex Ironman hrm. It is a great tool for heart rate. But the calories burned are way off...tooooo many! I also have the Bodybugg and I love it. I believe it is pretty darn accurate. It also tracks your sleep and counts your steps. It syncs with mfp so you don't have to enter your food on their data base.

I am always AMAZED at the folks who attack you and act like you are a idiot if you decide to go GLUTEN FREE. I made this choice to aid weight loss and to lower my blood sugar (Diabetes Type 2). It was tough. I LOVE tortillas. But I have occasional IBS and since I take metformin, I have lots of gas. Well guess, what.....I…

Honey, you LOOK GORGEOUS. and I am green with envy at your RUNNING 4 miles nonstop. Amazing Progress. Your determination is such an inspiration. Keep up the good work---you will be in Onederland before you know it! That is such a nice steady loss each month. :flowerforyou:

I no scientist, armed with data. All I know is that by going LC HF, I lost 30 pounds in 4 months and DROPPED my CHOLESTROL from 202 to 162. Before that, it took over a year to lose the FIRST 30 pounds and my cholestrol slowly climbed that entire time. Don't need science to tell me what works for me. Oh, and I don't CHEAT…

well, I am older with several metabolic issues and losing the 70 lbs has been a trial and error process for me. No one way works for everyone as each of our bodies are so different. I tried different approaches, tracked the loss or lack thereof, read more, worked out more, found an approach that sounded like I could stick…

if your goal is 1200/day x 7 days is 8400 for the week. 500 calories burned/day is Negative 3500 calories. MFP does the math: 8400-3500 equals 4900 net calories for the week. Which is way below your goal of 8400. If you are going to work out that hard, you really need to eat more. I honestly do not eat back all my exercise…

Oh good Lord,.....this Nana sure made a huge 'TYPO' this time !!!! Yall are making me blush! I gotta proofread better next time. lololol :embarassed: and I sure hope no one thinks I was being mean by not agreeing with that much cream. Only trying to make helpful suggestions. I hate to cook sometimes too. :smooched:

Amazing. and YOU DID this at home with Jillian videos and a sensible 1600 calories! Way to show many folks how to do this! You are a ROCK STAR darling!
