I've been doing the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans challenge this month (abs) and I'm happy to say that when I started 25 was hard. It was 75 today and I'm not even sore. Also, I tried an orange soda and it was gross. I guess drinking straight up water for almost 8 months kills your taste for the trash foods. lol I can…

ANY activity beats none. If you do that and you stay in your calorie goal you will most likely lose the weight you want. I've lost 62 lbs since January. I do not drink anything but water or fresh made veggie juice (from my juicer). At all. No soda ever. I stay in my calorie goal. I walk a mile and swim for an hour at the…

Hey there. I'm 33 chasing the best shape of my life. :D Good luck on your journey!

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I need to be more relaxed with myself I guess. :) Thanks y'all. I'm a work in progress, that's for sure.

Hey there. I"m in Cabot. We have a facebook group going for the central AR area if you wanna join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/274111472763082/

Do it. We can do it together. Add me. I was 230, I'm 168 now and I"m not sure what my goal is but I'm in this for life and there is no going back. That 60+ pounds that I killed are gone for life. :D Focus on little goals, be honest with yourself and you will do it. :)

High five!!! :D

My wife and I with our before and our during. Left: She is 5'9", upside triangle shape body. She started at 285 and her current weight is 235. Right: That's me! I'm 5'4" tall, pear shaped body. Starting weight was 230 and current weight is 170. Started in January. Methods used: portion control, switching to healthier…

Awesome!!! I love non scale victories. I can paint my toenails without a struggle! :D

You look awesome!! Congratulations. :D

You can fix your ticker: On your main page, click the scale like you're doing a weigh in. Down at the bottom of there is a link that says EDIT previous entries. Click that. At hte bottom of that page you can add a weigh in and date. Set the date to your starting date (or really any date prior to your first weigh in on…

High five!!! Great job. You are an inspiration!

So, here's ours so far. My wife (left) has lost 57 pounds so far. She is 5'9", upside down triangle body shape. I'm on the right in these photos. I'm 5'4". Starting weight was 230, I am now 170 on the dot. 60 pounds have been removed from my life!! I'm pear shaped. I used to think I was apple shaped but the weight loss has…

Get your bad *kitten* on! That's a great goal. I'm working on being the best me that I can be. Feel free to add me if you like. :D

Hey there! I'm in AR. I've lost the bulk of what I wanted to, but I'm not done yet. I'm working on making my body fit into the clothes the way I want.. not sure if that's a good goal but that's the truth! haha I'm always looking for more friends and support. Please feel free to add me if you like. :D Have an awesome day!

Hi Tiffany! I hope that you enjoy the journey and I wish you luck :)

Hi Michelle, I'm Elizabeth. I'm in Arkansas and I'm always looking for more support too. I've lost 59 lbs so far. I don't really have an idea of exactly where i"m trying to get to.. I wanted to be a size 14 but now that I am I struggle with being happy. My body doesn't quite fit the way I'd like so I"m still going! :) I've…

Banned for a total lack of pillows on his couch.

Hey there! It's not weird, it's the new way! ;) I'm in AR. Where are you? I've never tried the meetings. To be totally honest I had a real soda problem.. and I sat on my butt for far too long. Being more active has really improved my over all health and happiness. Friend me if you wanna. Welcome to MFP and I hope that your…

Any way that keeps you motivated is great! I started at 230 and I'm 171 now. One pound at a time. :) On my rough days I will think of this post, so thanks!

hey everyone! I'm Elizabeth, in central AR. :) Mom, wife and pet owner. lol

Me too!!! I'm not longer obese!!! That's a big step for me. I'm happy to see I"m not alone in celebrating. :D

Cheesecake. If it were in the house it would be in front of me half gone...

You can't if you don't want to. Let's be honest here. I have a self hate voice, I'm pretty sure we all do. I wasn't ready for this until I was ready to do this for myself. Maybe if you find a calorie burning activity you actually enjoy? Like swimming? or walking? Start yourself with something you *like* to do. Then you…

My mother takes the cake on all fronts. She's been overweight my entire life but that certainly didn't stop her from having a lot to say about my weight. Here's some of the ones that used to make me go home and cry: "Wow, you're really letting yourself go." "This is the fattest I've ever seen you. It's gross." "When are…

Yikes.. I hadn't even thought about it. I was about 220 (not even my fattest) when it was taken. I'm 171 right now as I type. It's really neat to open my wallet and have a look at it. Thanks for the idea!

well, You made a commitment to someone. If you don't want to be there anymore then have the decency to tell that person.

We could all use more support. Anyone feel free to add me. :)

Great job!! You look amazing. Thank you for sharing and inspiring others!

My profile photo is my before and after. SO FAR. ;) I am 5'4" tall and 32 years old. I started out a little over 230lbs. I was a size 20 / 22. I am currently about 174 lbs. I am a size 14 and can get some 12s on comfortably. My before shot is big, it's here:…
