I thought I was the only one! I went from a size 7.5 to size 6.5-7. cooool

6 inches is mine and I'm 5'2 so that makes me medium, and according to that I only have a couple of pounds to get to my "happy weight".

I'm the full time asst mgr at Dollar Tree, hoping to get a manager position this yr

I use them (lunch), although I buy the generic version that walmart sells. Personally, I would rather eat something than drink something for lunch. The only reason I occasionally use them is because I'm on my sales floor and just don't have time to sit down and eat something. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be putting…

I would say about 10 pounds,but I told anybody and everybody about me trying to lose weight. I think it was around 30 pounds when the comments really started flying.

ok , I hope this works. I'm around 17 here and maybe around 150 pounds, I'm not too sure all I know is that isn't even at my heaviest. I didn't let people take alot of pics of me at my heaviest so I gotta hunt them down. I need to take a full body shot of me recently, I just need a camera with a self timer. me then…

I agree with weesel, it wasn't until I started wearing more form fitting clothes that people started to say something.Congrats on your weight loss so far, 22 pounds is awesome!

Welcome! I'm in south Texas (aransas pass/corpus christi area), what part are you in?

Wow........ummm wow.....:noway: :blushing:

hee hee, I never done the water trick. I have thrown food away, and let me tell you that hurts, just yesterday I threw away a bag of pretzels because those things are addicting. I dragged myself to the trash can.

oh lordy, mondays are when my store gets the truck, the joy of unloading that bad boy. I wonder how many calories I burn going back and forth with boxes?

You look great! Congrats, you should be so proud!

www.sparkpeople.com is a great one as well, they have alot of info on there. Free exercise plans and videos, and a ton of different teams to join. I like hungrygirl.com too, they have great ideas for snacks and substitutes for higher calorie foods.

When I want flavor I usually just put a crystal light packet in my water, carbonated drinks upset my stomach.

Yeah, I had weeks where I didn't lose and even weeks where I gained, but for the most part it's been pretty consistent with me losing 1 to 2 pounds a week. The first week I lost 5, after that the most I lost in a week was probably 3. The thing is I went in with a mindset that even though I didn't lose or I had a bad week,…

I started at 170, but my highest weight was 185,.I lost 15 pounds in the space of 2 weeks because I got pneumonia (so not fun). I didn't really start trying to lose weight until 6 months later. I think that the biggest reason I finally did it this time around was actually understanding the concept of counting calories, I…

I love that cow, I think I'm going to go get some right now.........no better not still recovering from the flu dangit

I have some horrible before pictures, but I don't have a scanner to get them on the computer, hmm I wonder if I can take a picture of a picture.

My willpower magically disappears just before I start, and of course everybody around me happens to be getting my favorite foods like alfredo from pizza hut (heaven in the shape of a noodle) or leaves a can of mixed nuts lying around to taunt me. Hey, I want to know if Yaz works out too, I want to go on birth control but…

Whooo! I'm finally past the 50 pounds lost mark! I weighed in today at 119, I'm so excited!

I'm so mad, I just started the Ramp it Up in slim in 6 and then my stupid body had to go and get sick! I had the hideous flu, I feel tons better but I still have a cough. I was going to try and do it yesterday but just a little physical activity at work and I could feel stuff build up in my chest. I'm going to play it safe…

Yeah same thing happened to me, I was doing really good for about a month and then I gave in had a 44 ounce of soda and ate big portions of barbecue brisket and sausage with the fixings. I spent the whole day running back and forth to the bathroom and that was at work!

Oh God, I was a coke addict. I would have at least 2 20 ounce bottles a day, plus the huge big gulp you can get at the convenience store, sometimes it would be more. I quit cold turkey, and I was witch with a b instead of a w for more than a week! I have been off the sauce probably since july it would of been june but I…

I've never noticed my weight going up around tom, but I do feel "fat" and my appetite goes crazy a couple of days before I start. I want to eat everything in site and my will power just goes poof.

I really rely on frozen dinners ( lean cuisine rules!), I don't have the time to cook and it's so easy to just take one to work with me. The portion size doesn't really bother me (anymore), and the sodium isn't really an issue as long as I drink plenty of water throughout the day ,I'm always below my sodium limit by more…

I haven't been to see a doctor in around 6 or 7 years, I have gone to the emergency room once in those years and that was due to me having pneumonia.I was forced to make an appointment because I've been having excessive mostly unexplained bruising all over my body with the worst of it on my legs with the biggest being…

I'm 24 Starting weight: 170 Current weight: 134 ( weigh in is tomorrow so that may change) Goal weight: 110, I've unofficially changed it to 120, because it's starting to look like 110 is too skinny. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that's only around 10 pounds away:tongue: .

1481 + 36 =1517

I know what happened, my laptop was in the repair shop for the last 2 weeks, and I didn't really track my food as I should have. I got really snack happy, I guess because I didn't log it my food diary, I tricked myself into believing that those snack calories didn't count? I also didn't exercise all week long due to my…

The oddest one was from a regular customer at my store, she was like "Wow, you look great, you don't have leukemia or are doing drugs are you? I didn't know either to feel flattered or offended.
