I got weighed at the doctors and realized I was 199 lbs. I refused to go into the 200's when I already didn't feel good so I immediately started dieting.

Dear 18 Year Old Sarah, 1. Dump that idiot boyfriend of yours. 2. Believe in yourself. 3. Take care of yourself. (Just off the top of my head.) -Older You

Definately! I'm thinking size 8. 140 or so at 5'4".

The #1 thing most children overdose on is multivitamins, especially since they kids ones taste like candy. It's the iron that is bad in large quantities.

I don't have any answers for you but I'm in the same boat. Wondering if it's worth the money for the extra motivation. I think I'll buy it from Best Buy and if I don't like it I guess I can return it. Hoping you get your answers!

OMG I have to go measure myself tonight!

YES! That is what this is all about! We all use the weight thing to measure ourselves, but what you're really trying to achieve here is that energy and momentum and the feeling like you can do anything you set your mind to. I love it! Thank you!

Are you in Spain in this shot? That's awesome! You have beautiful sun kissed skin.

Ever get asked if you're pregnant or when the baby's due? I've gotten that a few times!

Ha! It's like, what am I? A LOL cat?

OMG Yes!

WHAT??? Look, I've got stretch marks, it happens, but that's NOT something you comment on.

OMG You are kidding me!!!

My sister is only 14 years old but she gets this all the time! She's gorgeous! The girls in school are jealous of her size though and it's like they think if you aren't overweight it's not an insult to talk about your size. Smaller girls get even more criticism than those trying to lose weight.

"Well at least you have boobs."

For my height and weight, 174.8lbs is the line between Obese and Overweight. I just want to hit that bracket again and after that I'm aiming for 145, the line between Overweight and Normal. I'll see how I feel then.

I heard one the other day, "You have such lovely skin, but most fat girls do." Seriously??? Glad it was only second hand or I would have knocked someone out.

YES! Men should always pay on the first date. It's just gentlemanly. We can split things later. The exception being if you asked him out. Since you asked him to go, you need to put up the dough.

I didn't even know that losing weight could help your blood pressure, but after having to take medication every day for so long it must be wonderful to not have that worry anymore. As for the rudeness, I had a great-grandmother that whenever I would visit would immediately tell me "You're so fat!" (I was 15 years old and…

I'm lazy and busy in the mornings, so I just pop a toaster strudels in the toaster oven. They're 180 calories and I can't eat much for breakfast but I have a little something because I heard that starts your metabolism.

Maybe it's not the weight so much as just needing to tone up? But you could just be built for a smaller size. Everyone's unique and while they can stick a number on a general idea of where you should be we are all different. Hoping you get where you want to be.

That's beautiful. Thank you.

OMG that guy Gostling was so rude! It's OK Angel, ignore the criticism.

That is a big difference! I'm a week in to mine (I did this last year and lost 15lbs but started a new job and I fell off the wagon and put it back on, shame on me) but I hope I can say the same in another week. I need to take some pictures now that I'm thinking about it.
