I live in the most obese state in the country, so yes- it's pretty normal. I'm still about 30 lbs overweight and I'm usually one of the smaller people in a crowd. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

It's taken me almost 3 years to lose 73 lbs, so I assume it'll take 4 to lose the 100 that I need to lose. There will be good days and bad days. I'm sitting on a 7 month long plateau right now that is making me effing crazy, but I keep on keepin' on. If you are serious about this, you'll stick to it. If you want to give up…

I'm proud that I didn't go to Krispy Kreme for donuts like I wanted to this morning. Small victories!

I started at 243 and am currently 170, on a good day. :happy:

That's EXACTLY how I ate that cupcake! How did you ever know?!? :laugh:

My coffee almost came out of my nose at the goat picture. BTW, Dave- I can definitely get behind that idea. I just had a German Chocolate cupcake for breakfast! Woot!

Sweat from a good workout is so sexy.

It apparently does get old. I get annoyed when my friends only talk about one single topic obsessively, so why wouldn't they get annoyed when I do it?

pasta or rice? Pasta waffle or french toast? French toast mashed potato or french fries? French fries strawberries or cherries? Strawberries snickers or twix? Snickers apple or banana? Apple coffee or tea? Coffee asparagus or spinach? Asparagus peanut butter or caramel? Caramel

Smokin' hot.

I have an eye doctor appointment on Valentine's Day. So romantic. :heart:

About 5 years ago, I was at a football game where it was pouring rain & I slid, on my butt, down the metal bleacher steps. The bruising made it hurt for awhile and I never thought anything else of it until I've lost most of my padding on my bottom. It now hurts to sit on unpadded surfaces. That was certainly an unexpected…

Chris Hemsworth- He's just so freakin' beautiful. Aaron Rodgers- Something about those eyes...I don't even know. Joe Manganiello- I want to climb him like a tree.

I'm actually re-reading the Harry Potter series right now. I read them all when each one of them came out but haven't touched them since the last one was published almost 6 years ago. I'm on book 3 now. :happy:

Hot fudgey brownies, topped with full fat vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, sprinkles, and a cherry. With ALL of the calories removed, please. :love:

I go to the Chinese food place in the mall food court & get honey mustard chicken and lo mein. Probably 3 days worth of sodium but it is so dang delicious.

Quaker Weight Control Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal. The whole office smells like pancakes because of it. :laugh:

Mine has to be a multiple of 5. I don't know why or when this started, but I can't deal with volume levels ending in anything other than 0 or 5. I'm quite uncomfortable when my weight is ending in anything other than 0 or 5. I'm having a hard time with my goal weight, because I'm either going to have to lose 98 lbs or 103…

<~ This chubby is in my gym! About half of the gym is in better shape than me and the other half are in worse shape. Just get in there & WORK! As long as you are trying, the other gym go-ers that happen to notice you will respect you for it.

I need the discipline of a planned program or I will NEVER commit. I've done lots of different exercises, but have found that I'm only consistent when I'm doing something with structure (ie Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred or Couch 2 5K.) Even now at the gym, I had a trainer set up a program for me utilizing the 30 Minute…

It's VERY much an individualized process. I've lost 73 lbs and have only gone down 3 pants sizes. There are people that lose half of that and go down 4 or 5 sizes! It was almost 40 lbs before I HAD to buy a size smaller.

I had recently bought a pair of size 22 jeans and started getting too big for them. I refused to buy 24s. I'm down to 14 now & hope to get into the single digits before I'm finished!

My stomach. It hasn't gotten the memo that the rest of the fat is working on vacating the premises.

When doing Planet Fitness's 30 Minute Circuit, I get murderous when people just jump in and get on the machine that I'm supposed to go to next. There is a BIG freakin' sign right in front of it with the rules of the 30 Minute Circuit. If you aren't doing the whole thing, the same machines are on the other side of the gym.…

Stretch marks = Battle scars! Be proud & own it!

I feel ya. My husband has these HUGE drops & I'm chugging away at my -1/week. He's never hit a plateau and I seem to hit one every 10 lbs lost or so. This is something that she's going to have to deal with herself. Maybe stop offering to help, as she probably just sees it as you judging her for not being active enough.…

Hershey's Nugget- Milk chocolate with toffee and almonds.

At my highest weight, my wrist was about 7" and is currently 5.75" after 73 lbs lost. The wrist has fat to lose, too.

I've been lurking and re-reading IPOARM for months, but wasn't sure where to even start with the activity levels since mine are mostly sedentary, but I do work out 5x per week. After seeing my MFP friend, DeterminedButLazy have such success, I calculated my stats last week and followed them well this week and was rewarded…

The crappy Chinese place at the mall has a honey mustard chicken that I would absolutely shank someone for during that time. Also, I want to eat ALL the chocolate.
