My first thought was the spice girls look. BIG platform sneakers and piggy tails (I was 13...yeah). Then bell bottoms paired with any shirt that would show my mid drift. There was that one phase with the plaid mini skirts paired with knee high boots ....yeah...I looked like a street walker.

Oh yes! I love them and they're gluten free.

My husband and I are going as Lucille Ball and Ricky!! The costume is super cute...I've seen it on a couple different sites.

AWESOME!!!! You look fantastic!

AWESOME!!!!

How I used to think all salads were healthy....even the chicken BLT salad at wendys *face palm*

AND......it's WAY cheaper buying GOBS of frozen veggies than GOBS of crap like pizza rolls and junk.

Frozen vegetables! They're healthy, pretty inexpensive and they last...no throwing anything out. I have 3 kids....so I totally get the whole budgeting thing. Frozen vegetables are my best friend.

When I was pregnant with my first I ended up weighing 30lbs less after having her then I did pre-pregnany. And during all that weight loss...my doc told me to eat two snickers a day......I considered switching OB's.

Welcome!

Go get fitted at a running store! My husband took me a few days ago and WOW..the difference. It was a bit pricey...but my feet and knees thank me for it.

Congrats!

If you're uncomfortable with an actual photographer call up a couple of your girls.....and have a day of it. I have a friend who did some in a jersey of her hubbys fav sports team. You can get a photo program for pretty inexpensive to do any adjustments you'd want...softening and tough ups. (not a photographers so don't…

Because lemons and water are SUPER dangerous....right....right...

This. I have 3. I got extremely ill with all 3...the last 2 I was medicated so i could eat...and I ate very well...healthy choices and still gained a good amount. Focus on healthy options and enjoy a walk a few times a week. I like the idea of facing out when being weighed...i could never do it...but kudos to her.

I don't think she necessarily meant for God to just hand her money. Praying is just the first step.....of course you have to take action as well.

I thank god multiple times a day! Prayer has been a strong staple in our endeavors to get healthy again. I have seen prayer do alot as well. I believe God meant for this life to be great and enjoyed....I intend to keep on doing that.

Oh..and pain tolerance....I have no clue. I guess moderate......I get cluster headaches and to me...there is no pain like that. Not even contractions!

Really active as a child...started gymnastics at age 3...cheered, danced, ran track until age 17.....weight problem started just the same...I never had to worry about food before.....OH and 3 pregnancies and 4 abdominal surgeries in 5 years.

I do know that until I started eating back my exercise calories the weight I was losing stopped coming back the next week. Now that i'm exercising AND eating the calories back that I should i'm steadily losing 1.8 lbs a week. Pay no mind to the ticker...that thing hasn't worked since I started MFP.

Welcome!!!!

When I reach my goal weight my husband is getting me an new ring...my wedding ring can't be re-sized due to it's style. AND new family photos. He...is getting a truck..LOL. He needs the truck anyway. :)

LOL.....Well, on the track the other day I was walking...warming up before a run and taking my time about it. My husband who is always bursting with energy was nagging me to get going. And just as he made the comment "You'll run when I chase you!" A group of elderly men was walking by....and they all stopped and watched to…

Are you sure they're yelling bad things? Because...when I walk or run alone...even though I feel like I look terrible sometimes....guys are still shouting some pretty ..ummm....inappropriate things. Turn them into encouragement...or just really listen next time.....might be your own mind playing tricks on you. Took my…

...and..there's a gluten free section!!!! THANKS!!! So much!

Measure where you'd like the shoulder to hit...and how snug you'd like it to fit....have someone help you pin...Measure TWICE..cut ONCE!! Then just cynch up the sides. To remove the seam just use a seam tearer...carefully though. The sleeves will be tricky....so while you have the bodice of the hoodie...sew the sleeve to…

I'm curious about this as well.

You look amazing...and i'm a mother so of course I noticed those gorgeous kids of yours..and Oh my..how they grew in a years time. Mine are 4 and 5 right now.

Just some support from me....Good for you girl! I'm really loving running again....i'm excited for you!
