:D Pure comedy! My new hashtag...#DudeAteABanana

Wow! Great job!!

I'll join!

Always looking for new friends, add me!

Way to go! Keep up the good work! :)

Fruits, veggies and (my personal favorite) popcorn!

Very inspirational. Sounds like you have the idea of a "change in lifestyle" down pat! Best of luck with your goals!

Diet is most crucial for weight LOSS. Exercise is most crucial for weight MAINTENANCE. I would start with your diet. Use the calculators to figure out how many calories you can eat to lose 1 lb/week. I know that seems conservative; but get an idea and you can always decrease from there. Once you see what that feels like,…

I struggle with eating clean but you can friend me and hopefully we can hold each other accountable!

Congratulations, definitely a step in the right direction. Feel free to send me a friend invitation. We're all in this together!!

We're similar--same height, (almost) same age and I was over 200 lbs when I started. Feel free to send me a friend request. Or whatever it's called on here!

You can add me! There's power in numbers!

Awesome job!

Bahaha! My sister is a sweet potato junkie and we had this conversation a few weeks ago. I'm not sure why we (Americans) started calling SPs yams, but I'm pretty sure what you're eating is a SP!

Daily when losing; weekly when maintaining.

I know from experience that it's a lot easier to put it back on than it was to take it off. Even harder (in my opinion) to KEEP it off after losing. It happens to the best of us. No need to feel bad--pick yourself up, make a new commitment and start working on it. Remember, this is a lifestyle change--a marathon, not a…

Sounds to me like you're more concerned about breaking your streak since you know what to do diet-wise. I get that and that's a HARD decision. I think you'll have to do whatever you're most comfortable with mentally/psychologically or whatever. Congrats on your progress and enjoy your vacation! :smile:

I DEFINITELY think you should leave the theater to use your phone. The light is SO IRRITATING!

I don't have the science to support it, but I truly think it's harder. The closer you get to your ideal weight, the harder it is to lose...even if you're doing EVERYTHING right!

GREAT JOB! My goal was to do a 30 minute 5K. I did my first one in June and finished in about the same time you did; it was a really hilly course and I was NOT ready. Still haven't made the 30 minute goal (not even on a treadmill) and I find it really hard to call myself a "runner" but I guess we all have to start…

Pahahaha!!! Story of my life!

For some reason I can't see the pics, but just wanted to tell you I THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading this. You are my hero on so many levels and I wish you the best towards all your goals!

sounds like you were at an LA Fitness...

Nope, I was about to ask the same thing...scrolled through first though! Can not WAIT to try this!

Good for you! Ten min mile is my goal!

After losing my mom to cancer, I lost myself to overeating and lack of exercise. Didn't take long to reach the heaviest weight of my life and I HAD to get it off!

Thanks for sharing your story. You will beat this. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm there, plateaued at the beginning of the year and really haven't moved since. Luckily, it's not coming back on, but it's DEF not coming off!

I don't know if you're near a farmer's market but it drastically reduced my grocery bill when I started shopping there. Fresh produce is significantly cheaper there.

I'm assuming she was old...old people have no filters. I know it's hard, but try not to let it get to you. Picture how you'll look in 3 months, 6 months, even 12 months from now. Keep up the good work and learn to ignore rude people!!!
