I want to join! Hoping to bike 100 miles in April. :open_mouth:

"Around 7:30. Too late for you though." To a friend. xD

To lose 200 pounds... that's just incredible! I can't even imagine. I would love to be your friend and cheer you on. :)

It's really hard at first. :) I violently disagreed with eating back my exercise calories at first. We're told as women to eat as little as possible and exercise as much as possible, but there is too much of a good thing. Treat your body with kindness and give it time to acclimate to the new routine. Do three workouts a…

You're my hero.

I would like to join! This year is going to be different!

(Love the ticker that says "Whatever doesn't kill me had better start running!" Hilarity.) My lies were, "There aren't healthy options for me because I'm a picky eater." "I have a large frame so even if I lose weight, I'll still look fat." "I don't care what people think of me and I don't care if I die young." "I don't…

That explains so much! Every time I binge eat I get really sick. xD Well, that's great! Now I have even more reasons to avoid binges. :)

I take Metformin and it's helped me so much! It gave me terrible stomach issues for the few weeks (or months) and if I forget to take it for a day or two those symptoms come back for a little while, but it's worth it for me. My periods are more regular, my skin has cleared up, my mood swings are gone, and it also somehow…

Seriously? Why is it every time I post on MFP someone feels the need to nitpick? Everyone else is posting general weight-related problems. "Running up stairs and your thighs clap" isn't directly related to junk food either. The point is that the junk food made us fat. How about you put a smile on your face and look at…

@Sublog I like the picture where you're smiling and wearing a sweater. :) Though I'm partial to the Hyperbole and a Half reference!

Applebee's Honey BBQ Boneless Chicken Wings. To eat the whole plate, it's 1,200 calories, but they are seriously the best food in my entire world. If I could eat them every day it still wouldn't be enough!

"Just a little 3 mile run." I'm speechless. Just started C25K and "just a little 3 mile run" seems like a different universe to me!

Thank you! I needed this kick in the butt. Tonight I'm starting week 2 of C25K and I'm terrified. I've barely been able to run the minute and now I have to do 2! But I'll keep going. :) You look amazing, by the way!

You are so beautiful! I love your style and your smile. :) And so tall! You could be a model. :D

You pull your seat up to the table and your belly flops over on top of it.

I'm a total baby about my booboos. Hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, 6 bandaids, and 1 roll of gauze later, I was feeling good! Haha. Went to work in that getup and added a glove because it was cold. Looked like Michael Jackson with just one on, though. :noway: In daylight?! Poor thing! I was running at night so no one would…

You look great! Such an incredible difference. :)

Ruuuuun! But really, I admire that. When I run, it looks like someone is playing QWOP with my body.

Jeez... Obviously I'm on this site for a reason. I'm not saying to just fix everything with Photoshop. But if I do a shoot with someone and they have a huge zit, you can bet your paycheck I'm going to zap that thing away. Some things you don't have control over.

As a photographer, Photoshop is where it's at! ;D

I have PCOS and when I haven't had my period in a few months, it tends to barge in like invading Huns when it does finally arrive. :noway: Super plus tampon every 2 hours? Been there, done that. I survived, and I think you will too. :wink:

That is so cool!! I can't imagine the work that went into that!

Woohoo! Thanks for that. I need it. I make wayyyy too many excuses. "It's my birthday, it's Halloween, I'm sick, I'm stressed, I don't have time, I don't have money, blah blah blah." I should have more respect for my body than that!

CW: 191.0 Goal: 176 (I can't even imagine this number right now! I'm going to be so happy when I get there. That's right, I said when, not if!)

At least Friday was kind of catchy. O_o

I give myself a reward for every 10 lbs lost! I'm a real miser when it comes to my money, so I chose little things that I've really been wanting but would never buy for myself normally. :D Things like a new pair of shoes, a movie poster, a hoodie, and one of those huuuuge poster prints that Staples does (I'm a…

Last night I went on a walk through my neighborhood. I passed a house with a window open and couldn't resist the urge to look inside. There was an overweight man in his kitchen, alone, making dinner. I thought of you and felt sad, because I've been there too. I was 11 the first time I tried to kill myself. Don't make…

I've improved so much this year, I hardly recognize myself. :) And even though I binged today, I WILL ultimately succeed.

So I can borrow my mom's clothes and not have to spend money on my own. xD
