Congrats to you! You're a beautiful girl, both before and after!! Your hard work has paid off, I look forward to my 1 year anniversary too!

I only eat some back if I happen to still be hungry, but I plan my days to be at or under my calorie goal. I have steadily lost since last May...with the exception of the Holidays lol

I am on it and it has never affected my losses. Besides the past month, I've steadily lost since I started. Hope this works for you! I had the Mirena too and was one of the unlucky ones that it didn't like my body either

You look so great!! Such an inspiration!!

You look great!!

Big difference!! Great work!

I have a little more than that left to lose, you may send me a friend request if you would like! I lost my first 60lbs in 6 months, so yes it is doable. Just consistantly track your food, eat well and exercise. The last 2 months slowed down for me, but I am 100% completely back on track now. Best of luck!!

I am so sorry for your loss! I can totally understand, you are grieving still. You are allowed to grieve, however long that it takes. The fact that you are getting to the gym is awesome! As for the food, start with baby steps if you need to. I often want to reach for food "just because" and I am not really hungry, so I…

It isn't in the database, but you can make your own exercises. It's easier if you have a hrm and so you don't have to estimate your calories burned :)

I totally understand! I am the same as you, in that I like my curves, so 150lbs would be the lowest I would ever go. Feel free to add me!

My goal is to hit 100lbs gone by my 1 year "anniversary" on May 10th of this year. I plan my meals ahead, do cardio and strength training at least 5 days a week. When I can't get to the gym, I do a dvd at home. I drink A LOT of water lol. This is doable! I still have a long way to go. Like others have said, set small goals…

I got the Polar FT4 for Christmas and I LOVE it! It's very user friendly. I couldn't wait to exercise to use it, I'm the same way since I started using it. I had a cheaper hrm before that stopped working in about 4 months

I can tell a difference. I think we are all most critical of ourselves, I have lost 66lbs and I am just now noticing some difference. Everyone else notices, but not me. I'm hoping we can all get rid of this mentality, at least by the time we reach our goals :). Keep up the hard work!

Protein is good! I upped my goal to 35%, because MFP settings are too low...and I still go over sometimes. I'd rather go over on protein than carbs or fats :)

I work 7am-7pm and I always take all 3 meals and 2 snacks to work with me. So, I get into the gym a little after 7 until usually 8-8:15. I only eat back exercise calories if I am hungry. Usually after I get home from the gym I will have a spoonful of peanut butter or a handful of almonds or something.

I wear 2 when jogging too! Heck, my friends used to ask me to "hide" their airport bottles of alcohol in my bra when we would go into a club lol

You should be proud, you look great!!

My bf thinks I am beautiful...always has. He's been with me at my heaviest and loves me just the same then as now...and there's no doubt in my mind when I reach my goal he will still love me just the same. He makes me feel like the most gorgeous woman in the world, even though I don't see a pretty person in the mirror at…

With your schedule it sounds like the best time is early morning, but I am not a morning person myself. I have to be up by 5:15 and I work 7am-7pm. Gym has a daycare during some hours and I utilize them a lot. As hard as it may sound, you can make time. I didn't think it was possible, then I caught myself sitting down…

Awesome!! Happy Birthday and thanks for being a good motivator!

Love this! Thanks for sharing Personally, when I leave the gym I look horrible. If you walk out after a workout with every hair in place and looking like you did when you walked in... you aren't being productive.

I still have a long way to go, but I have to force myself to notice any changes. I hope this gets better, beacause it annoys me and I'm sure it annoys people when they comment on how good I look and I can't agree lol

I do! Feel free to friend me

I started out at 302 in May and lost 60 lbs the first 6 months. My loss has slowed since just before Thanksgiving, but I am gearing back up to hit (or even surpass) the 100 mark by May of this year. This is doable! Best of luck and congrats on your loss so far!!

You look awesome! 6 months is so quick!! Congrats to you and best of luck in completing your journey!

You aren't shallow at all for asking. I think you really know the answer to your question. If you think he is "the one" then I say go for it. If he is content with his life, then he isn't going to change. I am the type that thinks I can change the person if they only saw what a good relationship was and how good it felt to…

I work at 9-1-1 and probably 80% of our calls are from cell phones... and probably 50% of those are pocket dials. Most phones have "emergency mode" when a number is held down (usually I think it's 9, but you should be able to make it whatever you want)... plus you can simply call 9-1-1 with it too. I'm not sure where you…

You look so great!! Congrats!

Excited to get started!

I'm from central NC, near the one and only NC Zoo lol
