Congratulations you look fantastic!!! Thanks for posting these pictures it is encouraging to see!!!!!:smile:

Things piled up - having an autistic child, marital problems and my weight. I found MFP and started making changes, lost some weight, still felt lost and out of control. A very dear friend on here (you know who you are) encouraged me to get therapy, he was right and its helped tremendously. But the real kicker has been the…

Congratulations on reaching goal!!!!! I think you have been given a lot of great advice, especially the ideas on using resistance bands and your own body weight. I realized recently that toning muscles was going to have as big an impact as weight loss on how my body looked. Believe me I am taking note of all the good ideas…

It started out as a way to prove to myself that relationship problems with my husband weren't secretly about my weight. I was also sick of being red faced, sweaty and out of breath playing with my kids in the summer. I loathed shopping in the plus size clothing section. I hated seeing my photos and reflection in store…

1. The empty roll of toilet paper left on the roller. 2. My husband cramming as many dishes onto the top rack of the dishwasher as can possible fit - they never get clean! 3. Parents who yell profanities at their children in public.

Carve pumpkins!

New lingerie. Maybe a new tattoo. I will definitely need new clothes but I still can't fathom being that small yet - I am still adjusting in my head to the weight I have already lost. Sometimes it's hard to see myself as I really am. Maybe I need new glasses, LOL!

Perfect - Pink

Congratulations on your success!!! YOU LOOK SO HAPPY!!!!!! Love the pictures of you with the turkeys and I hope to see you with the lobsters in the future:-)

Congratulations you look wonderful and your dog is totally adorable too! Way to go and thank you for posting:smile:

Please loan the book to me when you are through, I need it.

This fantastic, thanks for sharing because its great motivation for me to read such an inspiring success story. Congratulations, you look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, this is a great thread! Thanks for all the posts about where to find dresses ladies, it is really helpful. I've always had a large chest and a curvy backside and heard the term "statuesque" a lot growing up which I translated to "tall and overweight".

To prove that I am a reasonably attractive person who deserves some attention from my husband. Embarrassing but that's the truth. I also wanted to be able to chase after my kids without losing my breath, dissolving into a puddle of sweat or turning red in the face.

Update: I found the phone 20 minutes ago on top of one of the kitchen cabinets (my girl is part mountain goat) along with 3 batteries, an empty box of jello and pump dispenser for a bottle of bathroom soap.:laugh: My hubby got home from work and fixed the toilet - there was a Fisher Price princess figurine jammed in the…

Thanks for the tip on how to save the phone if it got wet!!!!

My phone is too big to fit down the toilet and I snaked the toilet to see of I could find the clog. I am looking behind all the furniture now, I already checked through all the laundry.

Just kidding:wink:

Lovely mouth:-)

Yep, same story - losing weight everywhere but the chest. Went from a 40DDD to a 38DD after losing 44 lbs on here. Still have a ways to go and I am hoping to get down to a 36D.

When your spouse is making you crazy and you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . laugh. Because your stupid **** is just as annoying.
