Your waist is tiny!!! You look amazing!

As a psychologist, I find this very interesting... as someone else said, it's amazing that someone took the time to map it all out! I think it could almost symbolically represent the human brain, a fascinatingly complex and interconnected computer that is the central organizing system for everything that we do and…

Um, really?? OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!

Start small (walking uphill, elliptical machine, etc) and build up your leg muscles' stamina and your heart and breathing. Try a combo of walk/run, and build up gradually to being able to run for 20 minutes straight. You'll be at 30 before you know it. Also, what helped me was always running on FLAT surfaces... I didn't…

Um, I'm 5'2" and when I weighed 156 I felt great!! Certainly I was nothing you could consider skinny, and I would never have put myself in a bikini, but I was really proud of the progress I made, and I felt very confident about myself and how I looked! I would worry more about how happy you feel, how healthy you feel, and…

That awful, awful Gotye song.... somebody I used to know. HATE. IT.

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do actually think about what my boyfriend will think about my outfits, and try to plan things that I think he will like, or approve of, or think I look good in..... but, I'm pretty sure that I worry about what he is thinking, and what he is actually thinking is: ...nothing, because men are lucky and don't over-analyze…

When I sat on the couch every evening to watch tv, it was uncomfortable sitting there. I had pains in my ribs from my fat rolls pushing on something inside me. I was like, okay. If I can't even be comfortable sitting on the couch no matter how loose my clothes are, then something is seriously wrong.

@ The_New_Chris These kids are the best.

Water.

Big salad topped with chickpeas, mushrooms, peapods, tomatoes, and balsamic salad dressing and A string cheese. Yummy. 350 cals.

I don't know about your gym, but at mine it seems, Saturday mid-day is when the 75+ crowd shows up, diligently working out in jeans, Rockports, fanny packs, and sweatbands. I love working out with those guys! I'm fat, they're old, and we're both trying to be healthy together. Fabulous. :-) Seriously though, the more time…

I don't whine about my diet not working. I know that my food choices are not really all that healthy. I don't come on here complaining that I feel like crap. I don't need wine and chocolate, but thank you for suggesting that I cope with stress through alcohol, food, and medication. Great ideas.

OH -- and PS -- do you know that it is in FACT that person's goal to "eat correctly"? Perhaps their goal is just what they said it was..... to eat under their calorie allowance for the day. You don't get to make other people's goals for them. That's personal to each individual.

Why do people get mad at the ones who choose to eat crap? It's not your life... it doesn't affect you if a stranger 5 states away decides to eat regular spaghetti instead of steel cut oats... I'm not saying you're not right. Eating healthier foods results in healthier people! Great! And, according to this, better results…

Wow, you are such an inspiration, and you are doing so great! 65 lbs is amazing!!! Way to go!

Oh, also -- it helps if you exhale as they rip.

I wax "the area" and yes it hurts, but the results are worth it!! It is even better if you have a professional do it, but I also rip out my own hair sometimes too.

Jasmine because she has the best outfit, and all that hair.

LOVE THIS!!

Try some of those flavored seltzer waters or diet pop mixed with booze.... no calories from your mixer but you can still have fun.

I love my car, and I think it's sexy as hell.... don't know much about its "stats" but it is a Honda Accord Coupe. I have the more "fully loaded" package, with leather seats and climate control and V6 and heated seats and a sunroof, etc. Mine is a 2008. It has a back seat you can put real adults in, and a pretty sizeable…

Ok, ALL of them are cute, but for a wedding, I like the first one and the last one. So cute!!!

HA!!! You must be really bored. :-)

I eat cereal and milk, or cereal and water if the cereal has a lot of calories, or a "bar" of some kind... nature valley sweet and salty nut, or nutrigrain, or south beach peanut butter protein bar...

Then: 20lbs lighter than I was. Now: 20lbs heavier than I am!

I've only just recently moved in with my boyfriend as well, but from what I can tell about yours, that is not healthy or normal. He needs to help out at least SOME, and not just expect you to do everything without question. If I were you, I would drop him like it's hot.

For a wedding, definitely #3. And by the way, you look awesome! You can wear short dresses any day. Rock it out.

PIZZA!!! Pizza, pizza, pizza. :-)
