Wow, thank you so much everyone for the kind words and advice. I appreciate it!

I'm somewhat close... I'm 5'0 and my heaviest I was 195..... now down to 181. Feel free to send me a friend request. :) I want to get down to 105. So that is a total of 90 lbs I need to lose..... 76 left!

Wow, that is amazing. You look great!! :) I hope to have a motivational story like this one day too!

I use one egg white and one whole egg.

Wow - you are a true inspiration. 80 lbs is about what I want to lose (76 lbs to be exact) Knowing that you did what I need to do, gives me strength. Thank you... WTG!!! :)

Thanks for the info. :) Well, I'm used to the heat... I live in Tampa. We wouldn't go until Oct or Nov. Especially now w/ hurricane season starting and a lot of hurricanes tend to go through the Gulf.

They are apparently non-attentive servers! I've been a waitress, and I would always refill water & soda. If guests were still eating, or have not even started yet, I would just bring out a new one. If they were done eating, i would ask just to make sure. From a former server, that is a pet peeve of mine. I can understand…

True! TNP has a cat or dog

Everyone's body type is different. You can be curvy w/o being obese/fat. I have a friend who has a great figure, and is curvy but not overweight. I would love her body, but naturally I am a small boned person and I will never naturally have her built.

It's all a matter of calories in/calories out. One day will not make you fat, as one day will not make you skinny. I've had that pizza before, and I'm still losing weight. In one month since starting my diet I have lost 12 lbs and that includes eating pizza. I just monitor and track everything! A lot of pizza huts have…

I'm 5'0 and currently 163 and i wear a size 10-12. At my heaviest I was 175 and size 12-14.

Thank you both for the suggestions!! When you mention, passion - the FC admin specialist is more my passion because it will get me more to where I want to be in the future.

Yup! It's possible... my husband is on MFP and the most exercise he does is walking the dog... and he's lost 60lbs.

It depends on what I am doing. I like the water aerobics class at my gym and that is an hour. If I can get to the gym early enough, I'll do 1/2 hr on the bike and about 1/2 hr on the tredmil and then do the water aerobics. I haven't done that lately... (can't get out of bed early enough to do so) but that would only happen…

Casual! However, if we have clients scheduled to come in, it's business casual

For myself, it depends on how much walking I would do. Since I work late, and quite hit up the gym I will take nightly walks w/ my dog and husband. Depending on the walk it will be anywhere from 1-3 miles. I figure if I am walking around an outlet mall I would end up burning off the same amount from when I was walking w/…

I take water aerobics every Saturday morning, and since I'm in the water I am not sweating, but I know I'm definitely getting a workout, so it is exercise!

THanks.. that would make sense. For 2 weeks my body was at a plateau and I was weight 168. Now, in just a couple days I am at 164.2. Which of course is amazing. All the weight that needed to come, maybe the stress helped it!

Honestly, it comes down to math. Calories in versus calories/out. If you consume more than what you want to eat calorie wise - you will eventually gain. Eating a fruit which is low calorie anyway will not make a difference. I've eaten unhealthy snacks and I've been losing weight. I haven't been eating well... for my diet.…

I thought it was after midnight? :)

I honestly give in. For myself, if I don't give in to the cravings, I'll have it the craving until I eat the food I want. One bad meal isn't going to make me gain. I am not a role model for losing weight (not sure if my diary is public or not) but I've been losing weight and I've been eating pizza. (my craving)

Currently I am living in Tampa FL, but I spent 5 years in Vernon and about 1 year in Manchester. :) Hope actually to move back there in a year or two.

Well, on the opposite side of things... I am hoping to be small again. Before my weight gain (10 years ago) I was a 32A, and now I am a 36B. I would love it once I lose my weight if I end up being a 32B, however I doubt that will happen. I was 95lbs, and at my heaviest I was 175, and my 36 was starting to get tight - and I…

Eating healthy.... I am losing weight still by having pizza and fattening foods, but I do more exercise to make up for it.

I remember it's 2015, and that date sounds about right. I remember joking around about how many years closer we are to hover boards, flying cars, etc.

I look at myself in the mirror. Growing up, I never had weigh issues. I was always small. The last 7 years though I have really let myself go, and I hate it. I am only 5'0 and at my heaviest I was almost added on another of me. Up until 21 I was 95lbs, at my my heaviest I was 175. I think about how I want to be healthy…

82 for the high and isolated thunder storms. I live in Tampa, FL.
