I have 30lbs to reach my 100lbs goal then another 20-30lbs (we'll see, how I feel at a 100lbs loss) but I already find joy in the little things like fitting in a booth without panicking if it is too small and I can fit in a movie theater seat without lifting the arm seat but best of all I feel more like my free spirited…

I've had to resort to making my screen saver on my phone a picture of me and my sis at both our lowest weight.When I see that and remember I am on the right path to get back to that happy and outgoing girl I go for a tall glass of water during the Summer and currently during the Fall I am reaching for good old hot tea or…

Hi doll congrats on starting your success story ^u^ I am about 10-15 minutes away from OP, you are more than welcome to add me,good luck cupcake!

I know exactlly what you mean and although there seems to be no difference there will be trust me :) I just now started seeing them shrink and some of my back fluff disappear at 70lbs it will probably take more pounds for me since I am only 5'4" BUT ya know what? They will eventually go away,currently I am trying Jillian…

I completely understand doll! I am lucky because I live 300 miles from anyone who knew the "fluffier" me and it is pretty liberating :smile: I don't post my weight loss on FB or Twitter like other friends who are losing too,because like you said it is somewhat embarassing...kinda like well let's see how long she will keep…

My screen saver on my phone as well as my Computer that shows me at my lowest weight ^u^ Plus the physical changes I am seeing week to week and month to month especially in my face.Good luck everyone!!!

I was part of the class of 1999 and our song was- Everybody is free to wear sunscreen-Baz Luhrmann. At 17 years old it really changed the way I looked at the future ahead of me :) "Do one thing everyday that scares you...don't waste your time with jealousy,sometimes you're ahead and sometimes you're not..."…

My dad telling me he was proud of me xD

One of my MFP pals put it best-If it's calling your name,change your name and don't tell that b*tch what it is !lol

Only with meats and cheeses, although I think some people take it to extremes and it is a BIT hard not to laugh :laugh: I saw a woman bust out a scale from her purse to weigh her food at a restaurant who was sitting across from us...j/s

:noway: ummm that is a little weird...how do you know if you are getting enough calcium,protein,vitamins etc?

For me it wasn't until I introduced more veggies and frutis that I saw even more weight loss.I only drink water and 6 oz of coffee every other morning. I also started paying attention to what the worth of my cals were ,what I mean is I was eating like a grilled chicken burger from Mc Donald's and small fries( have not had…

So what good is losing weight if you are not modifying your behavior? :noway: No exercise=extra sking and loss of muscle(in my experience when trying these miracle pills) Eating a poor diet= regaining the weight lost.So I am confused as to why you wouldn't exercise and atleast eat nutritious food? Is that what is suggested…

I would think it depends on the person,it took me 20lbs to go from 20/22W-18, 30lb loss to a 16 and 20 lb loss to my curent loose size 14 .Then again I started my journey at 281-285lbs.Good luck on your journey though!

LMAO yes!! Honestly everything we eat is crap.Our veggies,fruits and grains have already been genetically altered to withstand things such as bugs,droughts etc so I guess I eat crap all the time te he he

The Color run 5k- St.louis MO,Lawrence and Kansas City KS

Ditto lol

I drink absolutely no caffeine during this time (I usually have a cup of coffee in the morning) and I eat more berries (2 cups instead of one a day) that has helped me not be at a stand still .Hope that helps ^u^

<-Before and after pic at 50lbs lost. I too have the apple shape,but just started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and can already tell the diff in my mid section ^u^

I head to the gym , otherwise I do one of Jillian Michaels DVD's

All I did was walk the first few months and as the lbs shed I began to incorporate other exercises and am now doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred in the comfort of my own home.I say as long as you are moving you are on a road to succcess ^u^ Good luck doll!!

Shut your cute smaller face up!! That is ah-mazing doll!! Congrats soooo happy for you cupcake!!

Thin as a stick until I was11 years old then I got fluffy
