  • OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS YOU ARE AMAZING :love: :love: :love: Not only is your weight loss amazing but you LOOK amazing here! Honestly, after reading all your down-talk (about not wearing proper under garments and not really doing hair or make-up) I wasn't expecting this! And I mean that in the nicest way possible ahahha…
  • I used to be a sucker for the sugary ones. Pretty much anything sweet and bubbly and probably in a stunning colour! hahaha NOW my go-to order is a vodka lime soda. Simple. A vodka shot, soda water (calorie free), and a little piece of fresh lime. It doesn't even taste bitter to me or anything! And it's good because it's…
  • Me too pretty please! :)
  • You have lost 248lbs....and here I am whining about 40lbs. You are AMAZING. You probably get this all the time but I don't care: you deserve the greatest of congratulations you are phenomenal! Anyways, to your question... I feel like "How To" and articles on "Getting Started" are essential to cover the basics and introduce…
  • Face! (even though I HATE the back-handed "pretty face" compliment) Like someone said, you can always work towards a better body!
  • I can sympathise with you there! Photos together can be the worst. I guess some have it "lucky" when it comes to being naturally thin... But I guess there's something empowering about working for it and earning it too :)
  • Oh my gosh we are so similar! ahahahha I feel like you are me!!!! haha exact same about the whole sibling thing (except mine doesn't comfort me :grumble: hahaha) I really hope those last few sentences are true :wink: :flowerforyou: hahaha xxx
  • You are so sweet and lovely! Thank-you so much :flowerforyou: I like the ideas of little self-reminders :) That's true I suppose I do need more confidence....I'm actually quite loud and boisterous, but I suppose that's just really a barrier to hide my insecurities about my looks (getting all Dr. Phil here hahaha). But I…
  • I don't know if you know this or not... but Hilary Duff actually suffered from an eating disorder. I'm not sure which type... I think it was bulimia but I'm not sure. Needless to say, she did not reach this weight healthily and she was not healthy at this weight. First, find an online "body frame" calculator. Be honest,…
  • Yayyyyyy lovely happy stories! I love the shocked/impressed comments from old and new friends, or even strangers... that's something I'm really looking forward to. You guys must al be so proud!
  • When you lose weight you change the status quo in your relationships, and this is hard for some people to deal with. They look back at themselves, and find it very confronting and even see it as a challenge. Maybe you're doing what they don't have the strength to do, or maybe they're used to you being the "fat friend" that…
  • I'm not getting married hahaha but I do have some motivation tips! Maybe go dress shopping now, or look at some dresses...maybe that will motivate you to look stunning as you walk down the aisle? Even put a photo of your dream dress on your fridge (or inside your wallet if you don't want you fiancé to see it!). I also made…
  • I don't deprive myself! I know I get hungry at night so I make sure to keep the calories spare for around then :) Sometime's I know there's no point in eating something else, because I'll still want what I crave afterwards! So I just allow myself to eat one or two portions of what I'm craving. I log it and move on. It's…
  • Ahhhhh as one of my all-time favourite sayings goes: "Success is the greatest revenge." :flowerforyou: So as much as this journey is for me, it's also a great opportunity to shove it in the faces of everyone who wasn't very nice to me in the past... the ex-boyfriend, the girl who was horrible to me, the boys who didn't hit…
  • Meeeee! :flowerforyou: I'm 18, and started on January 1st at 180 with the goal to lose about 48lbs by July. Now that goal is to lose 39.6lbs by July. :drinker: I have a formal Ball in August where we get to go to dinner, drink champagne and wear fabulous evening gowns, and I want to look spectacular! I want to wear a gown…
  • Ordered the women's pink/purple FT4 last week and cannot wait for it to arrive! It'll be my first HRM and I chose it for it's price and quality...a read a LOT or reviews that recommended the Polar brand for calorie-accuracy (and I honestly love the look of it, not gonna lie). I didn't see the point in getting the FT7 as…
  • I love the idea of it being a surprise! I'm going away to college again soon and I'm hoping I can make a drastic difference in a few months by the time I see my family again for Easter! :) Can't wait to shock them all! hehe
  • I struggled with this too at one point! And one of my favourite quotes is "Success is the Greatest Revenge". Let yourself feel what you need to feel, and mourn the end of your relationship. It was a big part of your life. You don't have to be okay with it right away. But also know that now you have double the time to focus…
  • Not even that "well-endowed" and I like to wear a regular bra, sports bra, and fitted singlet over the top of all that! hahaha I feel like next time I buy a sports bra I might get a smaller size than normal...they seem to stretch as you wear them and get less supportive throughout the workout :/ Maybe try something with…
  • Water! Have a glass of water if you're hungry (sounds silly, but often we mistake thirst for hunger!). Still hungry? I carry a water bottle around with me and sip on it all day long, and it really fills you up. Have a glass before you snack, and before every meal. If you're still hungry, go for a healthy option first. If…
  • He called you fat? Call him single.
  • This got me all choked up! Seriously, there's a tear in my eye! ahaha Beyond inspiring. I feel this overwhelming sense of pride and awe for what he's accomplished.
  • Me! Don't know if I'll be able to lose it quite that fast though! Hahaha I'm also 18 :) Feel free to add me!
  • "Did you fall from heaven because have sex with me."
  • Bumpity umpity :flowerforyou:
  • You're doing amazing!!! And you look absolutely gorgeous :flowerforyou:
  • Can I just interject here and say that this is a free-website for losing weight and staying healthy. Everyone is here with their own best-interests in mind, and everyone use this site somewhat differently. Can't we just respect that and let everyone be? You don't like people who demand a message with a friend request, and…
  • I disagree! You've disproven your own point! "Hi, I'm Bob - How are you?" IS a message that someone could send with a friend request?! You do do it in real life! People don't just walk over to a person, stand there in silence for a moment and magically become friends. When you approach someone in real life, you normally…
  • I have something similar on mine :) Although it's more of a suggestion, not a hard and fast "I WILL DENY YOU IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY" sort of thing hahaha For me, I don't really want a large mass of "randoms". I like to know that my friends are committed (or supporting, at least) and that they check-in regularly. I also like…
