You are *so* workin' it, sister! You are utterly transforming yourself. Don't get discouraged. I can see the difference, even if you can't. *hugs*

Yes, in high school, I suffered from anorexia, only to become a binger in my late twenties. This was an offshoot of surviving child molestation. However, as I recovered from the trauma of that experience, I find I suffered less and less from body image problems. I have finally, in the last five years or so, been able to…

Geez, you should be! That's a major reduction in time! You go! Keep moving!

Thank you for sharing your success today. I really needed it, and I'm sure others did, too! Congratulations to you on your amazing transformation!~

This is one of the sweetest things I've seen in a long time. Hug him extra hard!

You have done amazing work! What a metamorphosis! You rock, my friend!

No matter what it is, if I don't want it when it's offered, I say, "No, thanks, I'm good." That's really it. And if they insist, I repeat myself. I'm boring like that. Anyone who really likes me is going to stop insisting. If they don't stop pestering me, I assume there's some underlying character flaw in them which makes…

My pic of Judge Judy seems to work like a charm.

My first 5K was the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Tupelo, MS, back in 1999, where I ran/walked it in 45 minutes. Frankly, I was stoked the wheelchairs didn't beat me. The big deal was accomplishing it, having never been a runner (despite having warmed the crap out of a bench in track in high school). Just hang in…

You've reached a major milestone. That is truly the best place to be, psychologically and emotionally speaking, when you are proud to "own" it. Great share! Would have replied earlier, but I was sleeping :)

From the bottom of my blackened heart, thank you!~ I tell myself this every time I get on that $%#!&^* thing. The tape measure is our friend!

My husband and I laugh all the time about the ads Nutella runs here on overseas television, implying that it's healthy stuff for kids' breakfasts, etc. There's even a line about getting them to eat stuff they don't want by putting Nutella on it, so we're always laughing about "Gee, Mom, this Nutella broccoli is out of this…

I've had long hair, extremely short hair, everything in between. The only short cut I ever regretted was the result of a gross miscommunication between myself and the stylist. I said, "Meg Ryan in 'French Kiss,'" and she must have heard, "Napoleon Dynamite's grandmother." I wore a lot of creative head scarves and hats til…

Oh, yeah...big ol' gamer nerdress here. Oblivion, Skyrim, all the Resident Evil...Also a fair shot on Tiger Woods' golf for Wii, but I don't want to buy the new version. He'd only use the money for hookers LOL :)

41, and I'm 4 foot 11 3/4 inches...of awesome :) Good to meet you.

I would have offered to help, because I was raised to ask out of courtesy. I'm sorry you were surrounded by jerks yesterday.

That top pic is scaring the children.

I'd rather see companies work with and be more flexible and creative when helping debtors repay debt, than to see debt forgiveness, per se. I've struggled and had to obtain deferments, but I'm about to pay it off entirely, and I've yet to practice law. It's very hard, and I know others aren't as lucky as I've been, but it…

Mine wasn't about being fat; it was about my boobs. "The Girls" arrived early in my life, around fourth grade, and our school's designated "Mean Girl" took it upon herself to tell everyone I was stuffing my bra. So I waited until recess, when she was in a crowd of people, and I called her out on it. "Hey, Denise, I hear…

Tremendously awesome work! I'm proud of you! :)

You bet your sweet A I do. I wear my HRM all day long, and when I'm cleaning, I check it often. If I'm at 60% capacity or above, I log that mofo. All forward motion counts.

I had the same experience when I student taught (back in the Jurassic era), so I used to grab a yogurt, milk and fruit for a belated breakfast, just before the kiddos arrived. Aim for protein *and* complex carbs for a breakfast that will stick with you, not make you crash before lunch.

Face and waist.

Generally, a**holes roll off my back like water off a duck, but my former MIL was the Queen of the backhanded compliment. She and I were at the theater, enjoying a show, and I felt like a million bucks, had on what I thought was a cute outfit and I was just having a heck of a good time. During intermission in the restroom,…

Well done! An excellent realization. I hope you will be happier with your results now. :)
