You could include a 'skills' section where you would include dedication, and determination! and willingness to work hard.. because these are soft skills that translate to any job. But I would leave it at that..

120 in my early twenties 197 last year 177 now

I recently read somewhere that measuring everything and logging every calorie can interfere with your bodies ability to sense hunger/fullness signals.. but I figure if I could trust my bodies signals I wouldn't have gained in the first place. lol.. So I measure most stuff.. but I'm getting better at eyeballing things I eat…

I blame cheddar in part for my weight gain.. I thought of it as healthy but didn't realize I was eating hundreds of extra calories.. now I try limit it to 1 or 2 oz.

Like veggies and light exercise like walking, yoga, and a little calisthenics,, don't care for heavy weight lifting or high impact aerobics but will do them once or twice a week..

I counted it when my activity was set to 'sedentery' if it was at least an hour non stop.. but when I changed it to slightly active I stopped because I considered part of my normal activity.. exception being when I cleaned the garage a few weekends ago because I did some serious lifting, carrying, ect.. on a side note I…

I did when I was younger but I struggled a lot with addictions, depression and dysfunctional relationships and could never get my life together and didn't feel it would be would be fair to a kid.. now I'm stable but almost 40 so I doubt I'm going to have any now.. and I'm ok with that..

I have a friend who lost about 50 pounds on it but gained some back when going off the program.. I don't care much for shake diets as long term.. I drink one once on awhile when I don't have time to shop or prepare 'real' food.. and it's pretty pricey too and then they try to get you to sell it .. the whole thing seemed…

I was going for a walk the other day and a guy said to me "Don't walk it all off" .. I weigh 180!! I think he was just trying to flirt/flatter me. lol

for me it was between 5-10 pounds lost because then I figured it was my hard work paying off and not just scale flux or water weight..

quitting soda, cutting way back on junk food, booze and eating out.. and making thru 30 mins of aerobic exercise classes with out having to stop and rest :smile:

My starting weight and goal is close but a little higher then you.. I'm 180 hoping to get to 140 and see where to go from there.. oh and I'm 5'6

I don't think a size 2 is even possible for me.. when I weighed 110 in high school I was a size 5.. now im hoping for a 8 or 10

I've seen people on here insist you should always eat them all but I just read something in Runners world that said for weight loss you should only eat about 200 extra calories for a normal work out (unless you're a professional athlete)

I'm not very religious.. I'd consider myself agnostic/ Buddhist but I was in NA and AA in the past and I try to apply the 12 steps and A day at a time model to my weight loss..

Lovely.. I just got out of the "obese" BMI myself .. isn't great?! :smile:

Sorry .. On second thought I think it was B2 so disregard my earlier comment

I don't think so.. we took my boyfriends kid to the doctor for chronic migraines and he prescribed B12..

It was in a diet pill I took called Stacker but I didn't like all the caffeine and other ingredients and I didn't lose any weight but maybe it works better alone..

I just read it's only 20% somewhere..

Try checking out the groups on here.. I think they have some groups for vegans and people who struggled with eating disorders..

ya I took the one called mega T the first month of my diet and it did give me some energy and helped curb my appetite but that was because it's mostly caffeine.. and it didn't help the second month so I'm not taking it anymore.. plus I'm on anti depressants now so I didn't know it was safe to keep taking it

Great photos.. I started in the 180's and my goal is 140. I have also struggled with drug addictions and found your story very inspiring.. thanks for sharing.

Yes because I've done it before.. but I was also eating a low fat diet

I do it about once a week on one of the xbox games called Your Shape.. I also have a DVD but I'd like to take a class someday.. I find that I feel really good and can breathe better after I do it. :smile:

Congrats! You look great.. I can't wait to get back to 150. Hopefully by the end of the summer

Sometimes but not always.. I don't work out super hard most days.. and on the weekend I drink them :drinker:

I used to be one of them haters until I became obese myself. aint karma a B.... :wink: and i wasn't posting it on here

I raise my calorie goal slightly (200-400) on weekends so I can have a couple beers or a treat but I still log it...
