I'm with you in not understanding her or anyone else who aspires to be "extra large." Forgetting society's judgement, why would you want to live like that? I'm 100 lbs lighter and I feel like I am carrying sandbags around everywhere i go. I can't wait to get them off of me. Those people are mind-boggling.

I quit smoking in October, which was the same time I started getting serious about my lifestyle change. For me, it was easy to do at the same time. I did NOT gain any weight as a result of quitting. I know not everybody is the same, so if it is too much to stop smoking and start eating better/exercising, make sure you…

You look amazing! Beautiful face and now body to match! You're an inspiration to me.

Hi! I am currently 329 (starting weight 338). We're in the same boat, especially with the soda thing. I drank up to 60 oz of Diet Pepsi a day until last week when I gave it up cold turkey. You can do it!! We can all do it!

YES! In love with that one.

"Night of The Hunter" by 30 Seconds to Mars - pure adrenaline from beginning to end. IA with "Till I Collapse, " too...that's a permanent staple on my workout playlist.

The elliptical is pretty much the only machine I use for cardio. I've found it burns the most calories for me. I haven't lost a great deal of weight yet, because I really just started working out, but my mom lost 80 lbs in about a year using the elliptical (and strength training).

I've been heavy since I was 5! I don't know what my "real" body looks like Looking forward to finding out!

Added you! Just turned 25.
