Bumping for all the great recipes!

You are an amazing person to have saved your own life! Thanks for the inspirational pics!

Lifting sounds like a great way to get rid of mommy belly - I know mine has reduced just by using hand weights. Bumping to see if anyone else knows the blog post, I'd love to read it too!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!! Go Melissa, you look awesome and you are doing a fantastic job getting the weight off. So glad you are my friend, you inspire me to get off my duff and do my Leslie workouts. Can't wait to see what you look like when you reach goal, you are already beautiful:)

My stomach is the last place I lose weight but I have been noticing significant changes in how its toning up since I started using hand weights with some of my cardio dvds- specifically Leslie Sansone Burn & Sculpt walking dvd. I must add these are low impact cardio workouts because I have a jacked knee and neck so it may…

Love the muscles, love the smile and I love the blue dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for being such a great example of a woman who has lost weight and gotten stronger. Total inspiration!:flowerforyou:

Go Dave! That is a great NSV and no, I don't think its gross:) If we are going along with the bathroom theme I have to say certain areas are much easier to shave now that I've lost 30lbs:)

A spa day - massage, pedicure, manicure - pamper myself and the hot new body. Then its time to go shopping for new clothes!!!

I think Kim looks curvy and beautiful but not skinny. if she had smaller boobs and butt she would be skinny but would lose the hourglass effect. I think of skinny as being in the single digits size wise.

This is a topic near and dear to my heart ;-) I was a 38F when I started on MFP - 30 lbs later I'm a 38 DD but I'm on the smallest set of hooks on the band. Hoping to get down to a 36D - at my lowest weight in college I was a full 36C but I'm not holding my breath on that one. I lose weight last in the boobs and stomach…

Argggh - sorry for the double post, my laptop hates me:(

Hi! You have come to the right place, there are so many great people on MFP who are here to re-claim their health and be more active. Tracking my food and realizing what I was doing to myself has been the biggest part of my weight loss. Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me as a friend:)

1) If they aren't active I delete. 2) If they are just here for drama or social activity I delete. 3) When I comment on their weight loss/ exercise/ food diary and they don't bother to comment on mine I delete. You are here to lose weight and get support and if the people you are friends with don't provide that then…

Great ideas, thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

I want a reduction/up lift after I hit goal weight but the hubby doesn't want me to get one. The last place I lose weight is my chest and I'm still a DDD - losing everywhere but there. Now that I'm no longer wearing tent shirts its really frustrating because if it fits in the torso the chest is too tight and its just…

I would love to do the tummy tuck but the money just isn't there and won't be in the future. Has anyone had ANY success with creams or exercises targeting that area?

Congratulations!!!! You look great, what a difference a year makes! Be proud of your accomplishment and I'm sure you family is thrilled with your success!!!!

You look beautiful!!! Congratulations on your success and perseverance, very inspirational!!!!!!!!!

10 Beautiful hair and smile!

That is the funniest NSV - good for you!!!
