I'm actually dealing with this right now, most notably on my upper arms and below the belly button. Noticing it on my thighs too. I'm only down 39lbs, and was going pretty slowly with it until a couple of week (maybe a month ago?) when I hit a plateau at 240. (started 274) Suddenly my body started changing, AND HOW! So,…

Wow, MFP's censorship is downright ****ensian!

Wow, did it actually censor ****'s Sporting Goods? What if my neighbor's name is Richard, but he goes by ****? What if I worked out while listening to Moby **** - an e-novel, on my ipod?

my boyfriend tells me that often times, he works out in less!

I recently acquired some hot pink and grey Reeboks that actually perfectly match the only pair of reebok track pants I own (grey with a hot pink detail on the sides) and was wearing a hot pink tank under my work shirt the other day, so I just left it on and went with the whole matchy-matchy look that annoys me so much…

Last year the boyfriend and i did a NASA simulated Mars Mission for Valentine's day, then enjoyed the planetarium and space museum. Nerdiest Valentine's Day ever? YOU BETCHA. Was it awesome? HECK YES.

^This! Not that I'd know. *whistle* :blushing:

I'm 237 and MFP set me at 1250. I talked to my primary care physician a while back and checked with her and she said that should be totally fine. I hit a plateau a while back (whether it's gone is still debatable) but I bumped my calories up to 1500/day for a couple of days and just couldn't do it, that was too much. I…

Unrelated to your post- but I hope the ladybug on your ticker has better luck getting to the red zone than Carson Palmer. ROFL> I kill me. :D

Thanks everyone! It sounds cheesy as hell, but knowing that I can inspire people with my success is also one of the biggest motivators for me. I'm not kidding when I say that if I can do this, everyone else here can do it too!

My highest-known weight was 274. I'm not sure what i was in the 'before' picture here, but I know it was above 260. I'm now at 237. :)

Oops - 7 months, my bad!

My HRM is very basic, so it doesn't have a GPS feature- that sounds pretty cool. Thanks for all the great replies everyone!

PCOS diagnosed more than 10 years ago! My biggest tip is to not give up. And take your medication if you're insulin resistant! p.s. Anyone feel free to add me!

Never had one. Well, not naturally. When I was 16 my parents took me to the doctor and said 'she's broken- fix her.' That's when my PCOS was diagnosed and I've been on the pill ever since. I haven't taken it in probably 6 months though, and still no period. (Just took an EPT a couple weeks ago too- so I"m still just not…

I vote number 3. :)

^this. (winning!)

I totally just did after i posted that. Usually I love drooling over their shoes, but the ones they've got up now are just meh. My biggest thing is deal sites. Places like 1saleaday dot com or Shadora dot com, woot dot com, etc...

Occasionally I'll allow my browser to wander over to Burberry's web site. So many pretties. :D

SF Bay area! Hayward, though i work and play in (and I hella <3) Oakland. Let's Go Oakland! *clap clap clap-clap-clap* (yes, I'm a delusional, devout A's fan)

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to invest the cash in a good pair of shoes. Gotta keep my feets healthy so i can keep going!

I was always under the impression that hobos ride the rails through the countryside in empty boxcars...

SO much *kitten* kicking! I have a Jillian Michaels cardio DVD and I get angry that they can jump around and only the parts of their bodies they're MAKING move are moving. I'm big- many parts of me move and make things like jumping jacks not only an exercise, but an adventure. The first night I did the Jillian dvd I posted…

Good luck to those of you trying out your click-ability soon! One tip I can offer, though I'm not sure how legal or ethical it is, when you ask for an extender, keep it. They generally work the same from airline to airline, so if you're making connections and changing planes, you only have to ask for it once. Another tip,…

I've been logging daily since sometime last year. Anyone can add me!

^^^THESE, I freaking love skinny cow ice cream sandwiches.

OMG fitting into roller coasters is a motivation of mine too- being asked to exit the ride before it even started because the bar wouldn't latch around me was humiliating. At least I wasn't the only one, but it was then just me and another big dude, just waiting for all the people having FUN to get back.

You're on the right track! Once you get the ball rolling you'll see just how awesome it makes you feel and there will be no stopping you!

I'm 5'4" I was 274 in a 26. I'm now 239 in an 18 that someone told me the other night looked too big. :) So maybe I'm a 16 now? :D

OMG one of the most traumatic things I've ever seen- I was working in a booth for a radio station which was set up at a half marathon and after the race a man walked by and his white athletic shirt was covered in blood from his nipple area. We were all shocked and the race organizer was like "Oh that? Yeah that's normal-…
