Thank you for your honesty - this post really touched me as I see a lot of myself in it....

Welcome and congratulations on the baby. I am sure once you start up a routine, your body will remember its old skills. Its great that you were so active before - you can definitely get there again!

Add me - I am in the same boat!

I swear we have the same body! It's very inspiring to see your progress and after pics as it helps me see what's possible for me!

I need to lose about 80....feel free to add me!

I don't even want to admit to myself how much weight I have to lose - but yes - it's close to 80 pounds. I have recently (re) started using this app. Feel free to add me too!

I am traveling to Scotland in a month :smile:

Hi there. Feel free to add me!

Don't recall if I've posted to this thread before but I'm from Mass! Live just outside of Boston....

Your story is amazing. I spent some time devouring your blog site. Thank you for sharing!

Sorry I don't have personal experience with anorexia but I'm replying because no one has yet. Maybe in your case it would help to get professional help - like a nutritionist? Maybe your goal should be to get healthy/fit rather than "lose weight" as that might trigger some old behaviors? Congratulations on your recovery!

I've heard good things about fitness blender on you tube and have done a couple of the videos myself. Good luck with your weightloss. If you do want someone else's advice - don't count on losing x amount by x time. This always backfires on me!

Married mom of two here too!

Please add me. I have a lot to lose as well...

I'm from Mass too - right around Boston. Add me ...

I would love to when I get to or close to goal. But I don't know if I'll have the courage to once I'm there....

Congratulations!

Have you used the MFP calculator to see how much you need in a day? Are you eating back your exercise calories? 1200 seems very low and unsustainable especially if you're walking 3 hrs a day (and please tell me your secret on how you have time to do this with 4 kids?!) Good for you - I have two and I really struggle to get…

Congratulations! I too have a pair of red capris that no longer fit! I am thinking I will fit into them when I am closer to 200 as well....

I guess I'll post here- I thought we were weighing in mid-month so posted to that thread instead. Unfortunately I didn't lose any weight this month. I had a change in jobs and a couple of weeks off in between. Although I didn't gain any weight and don't think my eating was bad at all - I guess the quantity was just enough…

I didn't lose anything between March 15th and April 15th :( I ended one job, took a couple of weeks off and started a new one. Between all of that, although I didn't lose it and overeat or gain weight, my weight stayed the same....

I think it was the fall of 2014 when I was under 200. I've gained about 40 pounds in the last year and a half or so :(

Congratulations! Being a binge eater myself, I truly appreciate this NSV....

Your post is very inspirational. You look like a completely different person -congratulations on your loss!

This is not only an NSV but probably also a little off topic. My overeating (or maybe compulsive eating) and shopping seem somehow related. When I am out of control with my food, I am also out of control with my shopping. I think they are both triggered by when I am unhappy with my life and body and I try to eat/shop to…

Woohoo - you go Ann! You continue to inspire me that I too can do it!

Congratulations everyone. Looks like some amazing progress was made! My weightloss is very slow comparatively. But I am in no hurry this time.... SW (1/1/16): 240 CW (3/15): 232

Ooh my favorite kind of jokes. I love the extremely cheesy knock knock jokes! Knock Knock Who's there? Ya Ya who? No thanks I prefer Google!

Lol this looks like what my kids type up when they just select the words that the iPhone offers when you start typing. I wonder if that's what happened to OP?

Michelle I love Hampton beach in NH. I live around Boston but we often drive up there in the summer...
