Wow, you look great! I'm 5'10, my normal weight last year was roughly 185. In the past year I've worked a desk job with free snacks, soda and lunch, and I gained 30lbs. I've been thinking about working down to 155. Your story has been very inspirational, thank you :)

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm happy to lead by example. Sometimes I don't have to mention anything, and I can see him feeling under the weather about the weight he's gained back since losing 80lbs almost effortlessly. Last night, he was coming to my house around 9pm, and he called me ahead of time to ask if I was…

Other than online, where does everyone find so many coupons to fill binders?

I love Kashi, and my work sometimes stocks their snacks! (We get free food at work; I've gained 30lbs since starting here 1 year ago.) I wonder if I can enter the codes from my free kashi snacks to get points too? :) Thanks for the info, very helpful!

Thank you sooooo much for posting this! I, like you, have struggled with weight all my life. I grew up with confidence and I knew how to hide my most ghastly features. One day, I decided that I was tired of wearing my pants a certain way to hide my rolls, or wearing lots of black to broaden my shape. I'm working on my…

Thank you everyone for your wonderful replies! I might catch myself spending too much money there this week. I'll update this thread with what I end up grabbing!

I walk anywhere from 2-4 miles (outside) a day easily and love it. I also try to go to the gym at least 3-4 times a week, sometimes more if possible. I'm excited to see that it's done wonders for someone else.

Bump again for people getting off work :)

Thank you! Did you catch the reference?

Bump!

Wow, you guys have given me a HUGE list of yummies! I can't wait to go shopping! Keep em coming!

I work for (a different part of) Google, and I didn't even know this existed! Thanks!

Wow, flaunting a bikini bottom! You're bold! When I lose the first 30lbs, I'm fairly sure that I won't have that much confidence then. Congrats on a great accomplishment thus far! Great milestone!

I can't give up chocolate chip cookies either...I was able to avoid them when ordering Subway sandwiches...until two days ago when they came fresh out of the oven.... O_O

Dreyer's Slow Churned Light Ice Cream - Black Raspberry, 1 cup 180cal

Hi everyone, I'm from Edmonds! Happy to help motivate and support! Feel free to add me!

Personally, I drink a cup of water. It works most of the time.

I'm only at 5% of my intended loss too, and I'm also starting to feel a difference. I haven't really taken any photos yet, but I do feel like I'm slightly less squishy before, and only with 5lbs off. It's also nice to know that certain exercises can really tighten up your figure without changing your weight too much. I can…

I just found Crunch but I've never been inside. I was checking out Stone Gardens on Wednesday. Fun fact: they do have some exercise equipment in the back of the venue if you want to work out AND climb in one visit!

http://goo.gl/pSjuf << I use this one, which was purchased for me by my hairstylist directly. I trust her 100% on everything. I have very long, medium-thick, wavy hair that is fairly easy to straighten but also can become very dry. This has been great for keeping the dead or damaged flyaways under control.

Hey there! I just started tracking my calories and exercising more about 10 days ago. I also saw a 5lb drop in my first week, and it definitely gave me a confidence boost. I've been to the gym three days this week, and I'm feeling proud of myself! Glad to see you're sticking around too. Feel free to add me if you'd like…

I can most definitely see it in your arms and face. I bet your legs have shaped up since then as well. Your body will continue transforming and building muscle, and the way you look now is only a preview of what to expect in the future! Take a deep breath and thank yourself for the hard work you're putting yourself…

I agree with this statement :) Buy yourself some yoga pants! :D

Oh, and I also wanted to mention that I also used to hail from the peninsula - Allyn and Bremerton.

I think the first bit of research you could do is to hop on the Kingston ferry and check out Edmonds. I just moved to Edmonds in March and I absolutely LOVE the place. It's close to Lynnwood, Bothell (where I work), and super quick to North Seattle (where my gym is). It has the small town feel while being surrounded by…

Awesome, thank you sooooo much! I'm hitting the gym after work today for the third time this week :) I also did some bouldering yesterday. I'm excited to do more of a variety of exercise!

I go to Fitness Evolution in Seattle on 132nd & Aurora. It's a beautiful gym and it's brand new. If you act quickly you can sign up for $1 (going up to $99 after their introductory period is over), it's $20/mo with no commitment, with an annual fee of $39, due during your fourth month. They also include unlimited guest…

Edmonds, transplanted from the peninsula :P
