I lost a newborn calf!!

Seeing people for the first time in years and they don't recognize me! Having my husband hug me longer and tighter My 12 yr old hugs me all the time saying "I can touch my elbows when I wrap my arms around you!" Shopping in the junior's section instead of wishing I can wear the cute clothes No back pain or foot pain…

Amazing!! You are ripping it! Stay strong, and stay motivated...you've got this! :happy:

My favorite "repeats' are Better Oats Maple and Brown sugar with a tbsp of raw coconut oil, Rockin' Wellness shakes for snacks or lunch, and of course my "crack" is Sensible Portions Veggie Straws! I do lean cuisines a lot, but make sure the rest of my day is made up of very low sodium to compensate.

I use stevia. I was a hardcore "blue sweetener" girl for years, and then found out it had been causing my nightly hives I've suffered for years! I also use coconut palm sugar--it rocks! :D

I use "anger" when I lift heavy....that, and play tons of heavy metal songs. Makes me feel that I can bench an 18-wheeler!:devil:

I guess I'm with the OP, I've never done WW, but I've had the most amazing support through MFP! I've lost 92 lbs because of the great posts and inspirations I see day to day by my friends and threads on here---and I didn't spend one dime! Weight loss is a mind-set, you either have it, or you don't. Accountability?? I have…

I'm so incredibly proud of you! Don't let anything or anyone stand in the way of your amazing transformation, you rock beautiful!:happy:

I LOVE MFP!!! This has been a life-changing experience for me, and the people here are amazing! Welcome aboard, mill around, and meet new people--you won't regret it! :flowerforyou:

I'm actually having a little fun with it right now.. told my husband that you can't get "guns" like mine by eating chips..and did a full flex in front of his face! LOL! Told my kids if they didn't finish their work, I was going to show them how a ripped mom takes care of heathens! LOL!

I have, actually. When I lift, I usually tend to lean towards a multi-grain snack before-hand, where after cardio, just something like a protein snack. I have very thin skin to begin with, so this vein protrusion looks pretty creepy! Lol!

You have to want to change your lifestyle! I started my lifestyle change exactly a year ago, and haven't looked back since. I watch my sodium, exercise(I don't log it because I don't believe half the calories burned on the database are true), and I try to stay completely away from sugar and white flour. I also ditched the…

I can honestly say during the first few weeks of a 1200 diet, you can easily lose 3-4 lbs a week. I did. I was 233, and it dropped off once I finally used portion control and weaned off of diet pepsi! Don't expect it to continue though! When I hit "onederland" it slowed tremendously, and I had to adjust my calorie goals.…

Just turned 37 and feeling fabulous! I am trying to reach a goal that has been out of my reach since high school, and will hopefully reach it by summer!

I don't know if it can happen in a month, but I will try! 10 lbs would put me at my REAL goal weight! Please PLEASE let me hit it before summer!!! Current weight 141.2 ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT 130!!!

Thank you! It's hard to get things together on the fly to pack that are healthy. Too many temptations at a theme park to indulge, not to mention--very expensive!

Binged twice this week already...but tomorrow is another day! :) I feel bad, but I DO LOG everything anyway, because this is a journey, for ALL of us, to learn our triggers and make better choices. We will have our bad days, but if you re-start, you will re-gain your life! :D

Like any other change in diet, you should be asking yourself.."But what happens when I STOP using it?? Will the weight I lost creep back on? Will I have to continue purchasing it to maintain??" There will always be a "Better shake for weight loss", "better pill for hunger"...you can buy into the fads, but you really have…

Lol! Yes, washing machine! I live in the wilderness and mud is a daily part of life for me. It's hard to find a shoe that doesn't cause pain when I wear them for an entire workout. Granted, my feet aren't as fat as they used to be, but I still have problems with foot "hot spots" and the more cusion-the better!

I have cheat meals! I do indulge every once in a while, but the key is to get back to the clean eating the very next day.

You are a rockstar! Congrats on being a new, improved version of YOU! :happy:

I do hate the way my body looks. The extra skin is horrible and I seem to be at a stand still in my loss right now. I am not giving up, though! :D

I'd invest in Rockin' Wellness, rather than shakeology..trust me.

Eggs! Ugh! Those get me! LOL!

I take GNC's Women's Active multipack..all in itself is enough for a meal! Lol! I have to force them all down, mainly because they are so big and it takes an entire bottle of water to get them down! They really help, but you have to eat oatmeal or something with them so you don't feel sick to your stomach. I do these…

Being married for 17 years, I can honestly say..laugh and joke! Nothing shows love more than walking around at walmart, then out of nowhere he shouts "Alissa, quit touching me there!! Rape!"....aaahhhh, love..:blushing:

I'd love to go to a gym, but I've done fine at home. I just feel comfortable in my own skin at home, where no one can judge. It helps having my own elliptical and weights. I've lost a ton of weight and feel great about myself. :)

When you learn the secret, let me know...the only way I'd run is if someone was chasing me....

I have to say, you inspire me more than the "always fit" people in MFP!! To see someone struggle, and succeed is the best motivator! For people like me, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who has lived the life of obesity, and changed their life through hard work, than to constantly hear someone who has never had a…

Where in my post did I suggest anyone to stop drinking sodas?? I was indeed stating FACTS that happened to ME. By all means, drink away! Maybe someone reading this may have the same issue and it could help them, that's why I posted this...
