Yeah this is definitely me. If I ever were to use someone else's picture it would be for inspiration, so maybe that's why most others use pictures that are of other people. That and to stay anonymous on the Internet. But again, mine are of myself. :)

I realized how big I'd gotten when I got on the scale and saw 189. I did not want to enter into the 190's. At first I thought it was crazy that I could weigh that much (to give some perspective it means that I had gained about 40 lbs in 2 years), but when I saw the pictures I was in at my friend's wedding I could see that…

Does the new male friend know you have a boyfriend? Most of my friends are male but I knew and was friends with all of them before I met my fiancé. I think as long as you're being honest and this guy knows you're taken and just wants to be friends too, there isn't anything wrong with it. To be honest, I'd probably only…

For the Mac and cheese you could just measure it in a measuring cup before serving it. The chips are tougher, I usually just eat the full chips and don't worry about the broken ones. But as mentioned in another comment, a food scale would help solve both of these problems. Good luck!

Wow, you look amazing! Congrats on all of your hard work paying off! How did you do it? And how tall are you, if you don't mind me asking!

Oh my goodness. This made me cry! What an inspiring story!! That man is amazing and he deserves every good thing that comes his way. He is so brave and motivated, it definitely just goes to show you can do whatever you put your mind to. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I have been a vegetarian since I was 13 years old and will be 26 this year - literally half my life. I couldn't care less what other people eat, my parents, brother, fiancé and best friends eat meat. I cannot believe anyone would have the nerve to go up to a complete stranger and say this!! That being said, you handled it…

When I started here almost a year ago, the only people whom I told that I was trying to lose weight were my fiancé and parents. I didn't think it was anyone's business but my own, but thought those people I mentioned deserved to be kept in the loop. I still haven't told anyone else that I am continuing to try and lose…

Bump!!

Anyone can feel free to add me! Age: 25 (26 in September) Height: 5'6" SW: 189 CW: 161 GW: 145

Lol! I live in Canada and I went last June. It was awesome and I don't even know that many NKOTB songs, I just went for BSB haha. You'll love it!

Hello! I'm Alicia and I'm 25. I'll be starting on week 1 tomorrow (May 1) and I'm currently on Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred as well. Those sit ups in the initial test were harder than I thought and I'm definitely hoping to be able to do 200 by the end of week 6! Let's do this!!

The first few days of level one were tough for me, but I was able to push through. My body ached for days lol, but it was worth it (I lost 2.5 inches in my hips alone in 10 days!!). I recently started level 2 (today was day 3)... I'm having a pretty rough time! I think you should just do what you can. It's okay to stay on…

I'm allergic to grass, pollen, silver and cats. The grass and pollen are pretty severe allergies, the silver is mostly just that I can't wear it or I will develop a rash, and the cats, I own one - I'm not allergic to their hair like most people but rather their saliva and nails (if they scratch or bite me I will develop a…

Oh man. I'm in!

Bump. That's pretty gross looking but a great way to put it into perspective! I sometimes rely too heavily on the sale when I'm definitely losing inches, and now I can SEE why that is. Thanks for posting!

Hey! I've been logging in every day since May 11, so I'm approaching a year on mfp. Feel free to add me! We can be great motivation for each other. :)

You are being emotionally and physically abused and it doesn't sound like your boyfriend is a very good person. You deserve much better than this and I hope you can see this soon!

I actually saw a video yesterday of how she does her makeup. Her face looks pretty normal and not so creepy at the beginning (naturally) and she does crazy shading on her nose and face to make her face look plastic and doll-like. Her poses are what creep me out the most!! This is the link if anyone is interested:…

I think it's a great way to physically SEE how far you've come. It will also be great motivation to stay on the right path. Congratulations on losing 87lbs (possibly 109)! I would pay $25 for it as a constant reminder that I can do whatever I put my mind to.

I'm from Hamilton! I log in every day too! :)

^ Exactly this! Lol!

Wow, you look amazing!! How did you do it?

Bump!!!:love:

Do something that occupies your mind so you won't be thinking about food. Reading works well for me. Drinking lots of water and chewing gum also help a lot! :)

Well, my dog is technically now just my parents' dog since I've moved out but her name is Dakota and she is a Keeshond.

Where do I begin? Keys, makeup bag, cell phone, wallet, contact case, Tide to go, perfume samples, hand cream, birth control pills, a nail file, headphones, a brush, my iPod, camera, camera charger, day planner, pens, gum, gloves. Lol!

You'll love it! It's really hard at first, but now I actually look forward to doing it! Seeing results so quickly is really motivating as well!

This might sound crazy but I've been doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and I already notice a significant difference in my back! I did it for 8 days and took almost 2 weeks off and restarted, so now I am on day 7. The roll that used to sit right under my bra is basically gone and there's another that's smaller than it…

I take 10-20 minutes in the shower. 10 minutes to dry my hair, 10 to straighten it (my hair is already pretty straight). I can do my makeup in 15 minutes but prefer around 30 so I'm not rushing. So just over an hour on a regular day. If I'm going somewhere special, I could take several hours if they were available! Lol
