You look Great! Congratulations on your success! :smile:

Count me in too! SW: 219 CW: 209 GW: 160 Scariest thing that has happened to me since losing weight... HITTING THIS DAMN PLATEAU! :explode:

Sorry if this is a repeat suggestion as I do not have time to read what everyone else has said, but how is your water intake. Weight loss for me is a lot harder when I'm not drinking enough water AND being consistent with the amount I drink on a daily basis. Hope it helps and Good luck! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the advice guys. I was able to return my other shoes and I will get fitted some time this week. Maybe after my shins ease up a bit! I knew I should have gone to the running store, but I feel a little intimidated since I don't consider myself a real "runner"... YET! :tongue:

No, I was not fitted for my new shoes. I picked a pair that had been recomended to me by someone who runs a lot. Also, should I not be landing on my heel (sorry if that's a dumb question, but I thought I was suppose to do that)

I agree! Those were an important 23 lbs! Amazing!

yum! I will have to try this one. :tongue:

I loved the film! However, I think its a bit extreme. If I was facing the same medical problems, that this man was, I might would consider it. I did start juicing for breakfast, and felt amazing!! It made a big difference in my day.

yep, I got nothing! Sorry.

As a hopeless diet "coke addict" and having tried kicking the habbit several times, this seems to be something that I can try. Thanks for sharing!

In addition to talking to someone and getting medical help, try focusing on helping someone else or volunteering in an animal shelter or something like that. I suffer from seasonal affective disorder in the winter time, and I know that it can help me to focus my time and attention off of myself for a while.

You know, I will never understand why complete strangers feel it is their mission in life to tourment others about their imperfections! I'm so glad you never let their negativity stop you from achieving your goals! You are a strong, beautiful, and confident woman. Carry on with your bad self and be proud of who you are!…

You look so much younger, healthier, and happier! :drinker:

There is so much that goes on at the gym that ticks me off; I just don't go anymore. I do my workouts at home and love it!

those size 6's look too big for you! :wink:

looks like you figured it out! :tongue:

I don't know the complete science of it, but its a matter of getting the right balance of sodium and potassium. Those levels effect each or something like that... Betcha could google it if you were really interested in it. edit: http://www.naturalnews.com/024539_potassium_sodium_diet.html (I googled it) :wink:

Just eat better for the rest of the day, drink lots of water to flush out that extra sodium and get your workout in sometime today. Tomorrow will be better! :flowerforyou:

I didn't take the time to read all the responses, so forgive me if this is repeat information, but I have always heard to give yourself 6 months to a year to see if your skin will shrink back to itself. If it doesn't, and you're still bothered by it, THEN consider surgery if that is something you agree with. Just remember…

boo! i can't seem to post a pic

My husband has this little thing that he can do where he sticks a green bean up his nose and then pulls it out of his ear. This trick KILLS at 8 year old birthday parties! :laugh:

I had a friend actually post a picture of his kidney stone he passed! I admit. It was a big *kitten* stone!

^^THIS! You are a strong, confident and beautiful woman. Some men are intimitated by that and feel like they need to try to hold you down. Keep up the good work and know that you have nothing to be ashamed of. And HUGS!! to you for having to put up with that craziness!

thanks for the smile :laugh:

She has already mentioned that the torso picture is not her.:ohwell:

A sea weed wrap at a spa will help you lose inches in those trouble areas and is very quick and not unhealthy... some might say benneficial even!
