GO PACK GO!!! (This week is gonna be awesome for this Cheeser in SF...) :D

It makes ME sad that you're more willing to allow him to make YOU feel bad by allowing this behavior than you are to stand up for yourself at the risk of upsetting him. YOU are what matters first and foremost, and if he truly is the amazing guy you say he is normally, he will only want for you to be happy and healthy.…

I was 260 or 250 when I started a Gillian cardio DVD and I had problems with all of the impact too. I found other activities to do during the activities on the video that were causing me pain- Example: when she was doing mountain climbers or any of the jumping activities, I left the room, ran downstairs and back up-…

Hoping to start back today or tomorrow, feel free to add me! More motivation is ALWAYS awesome!

GREAT WORK!! And if I may say so, you do NOT look 40!

...Your brother is clearly a jerk. Love, a bitter 1200 calorie-er. <3

I'm currently on a facebook fast (until after the World Series and Election and some other big events I'm coordinating for work are done) so MFP is my only vice that I can indulge in, haha. It's not the same, but it's a decent substitute!

Awesome! I'll definitely get there by next summer, if not this one!

Looks like we're both about halfway to our goals! Look how far we've come, we can get there! Thanks again, everyone!

I can understand what you're saying, but that's not at all how I operate. When I read the title I thought it might be that feeling of "WOW, LOOK AT EVERYTHING I'VE ACCOMPLISHED!" Because that's what I keep feeling. I want to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone I know that I've lost nearly 50lbs. I don't want this…

Thanks for all the love everyone! and feel free to add me, I can always use more encouragement and support!

Hahaha, yeah, I figured the title would trip some people up, especially filed under "Success Stories" But hey, I work in marketing- I know how to grab attention. :D

The period between these two photos is about 2 years, but I didn't start really working at losing weight until about a year ago, maybe 9 months? I've kinda slacked off lately, but my body and I have been recalculating, and I was back to it really well before I had deadlines last week for work, and two more tomorrow. After…

I always advise to start small. Log your food. Don't worry if you go over to start, the first step is surveying the existing conditions. Once you know where you're coming from, it's a lot easier to get where you're going. Log now, and when it's time to buy groceries again, keep healthy choices in mind. For drinking, limit…

LOL yeah, busted- I'm not a heel-savvy kinda girl. Those work for me, nice wide heel, and I didn't even fall down in them! (I used to roll my ankle from time to time.) I guess with less weight pressing down, it's easier to walk in heels...

Hahaha... awesome.

Thanks for checking, but I don't think that one would fit, no. I got one that works really well, from a friend's closet, so i think I'm set. :D

lol! I do know a few people who need to grow a pair... :D

lee I might be more in the range of a 14-16 maybe 18 at the largest. I tried on a few dresses tonight the best friend had an all of the 16s and 18s fit me. I even found one that I may end up wearing and it's actually a size 14! this is so shocking that i almost want to cry. it really wasn't that long ago that I was wearing…

We have them out here... I'll definitely be hitting up some thrift stores. :D

YAY! Congrats! You've been working so hard and doing so well!

Thanks again everyone! I was down another 3lbs this morning, if I get the same weight tomorrow, I get to log it!

Fruits and veggies! Pretzels! Veggie Stix!

GO GO GO!!! Especially if they're Zombie bowling balls. Seriously, those things were creepy.

Thanks so much! The last thing I forgot to mention is that everyone here is an inspiration to me and causes me to keep going. If someone can lose 200 or 300 lbs, I can bring myself to get off my butt and work out. Knowing that so many people feel like I'm an inspiration- well, that feeling can't be put into words. It all…

The simple answer? I have no idea. I've gotten a ton of support though- as someone said earlier, that support is VITAL as you go through this journey. My dad has been severely overweight for a long time, and after I had started my weight loss, I learned that he had actually already lost 20lbs. From then it became something…

[/quote] Such a hypocrite, if this is the same two people going back and forth, then the one who is now insulted is humorous, as you began the thread by saying "no one likes to cuddle with a bag of forks." LMAO. [/quote] Wasn't the same two people going back and forth. And to be clear, I shouldn't have used that bag of…

Love this. You can't help the body you were born with, the key is just loving it. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and you're never going to make everyone happy. Personally, I think all of the catty remarks come from the fact that women are generally open with their thoughts on the attractiveness of the same sex than…

Haha, I wasn't talking about sticking it in anyone's pooper. And the bag of forks thing is just an expression, no, muscular girls would not be bony, but I don't imagine them to be terribly soft either. I dunno, maybe I should snuggle up to your arms? Look- I'm not hating on the competitive bikini model winners. I admire…

Thanks for contributing to the stupid, lol. And dare I say, encouraging more of it.
