Bravo! You have done amazing work! Congratulations and thanks for sharing pics so we can all be inspired by your achievement!

You have done a tremendous job! It's obvious that your hard work is paying off. Keep it up, and congratulations! :)

I'd fill up on water/club soda, then fill most of your plate with veggies and whatever healthy alternatives to cream-based dip there are. Give yourself a small taste of the others, but make sure you're not starving when you arrive. Eating a green salad before you go to the party doesn't hurt anyone, and you won't sabotage…

You are amazing! What an awesome job you've done getting fit and healthy! :) Congratulations!

Hey, it's nice to "meet" you on here. My husband is a Mainer, too, from South Berwick. I'm originally from Mississippi, just south of Memphis, TN, and we live in the German state of Bavaria.

Thank you for the link to that article: http://www.dailyspark.com/blog.asp?post=why_the_scale_goes_up_when_you_start_a_new_workout_plan It was very informative and helpful! :)

Attorney...almost there.

First let me say that no man who is not intelligent will draw my attention for more than a quick "looksee." There is an "entrance exam," so to speak. Personality counts way more in the long run, beyond the initial attraction. That having been said, let's talk physical build. I prefer a tall, lean runner's physique to that…

Muscles don't weigh more than fat, strictly speaking. A pound of feathers equals a pound of gold, equals a pound of hot dog relish, equals a pound of kittens... How much space a substance occupies is called "volume." Muscle tissue is more dense than adipose tissue (fat), so volumetrically speaking, muscle tissue occupies…

I spent almost twenty years married to a man who wanted nothing more than to sit on the couch and watch television 24/7. His idea of breakfast was a Nehi grape soda and a massive gob of peanut butter on a wooden spoon. At first, I tried getting him outside and doing more active things, but his inertia was contagious. I…

When I first got TiVo, my friends started jumping on the bandwagon, too. Soon, there was this colony of TiVo zombies in class, all bleary-eyed and dazed from staying up too late watching all the shows TiVo recorded for them. It reminded me of this really bad video game back in the '80's called, "Zombies Ate My Neighbors."…

Way to go! This is a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing your achievement!

Love, love, love your story! Congratulations on your (and Cody's) weight loss, and THANK YOU for taking in a shelter animal! You are exactly the kind of pet owner Cody and other animals like him need in their lives. *big hugs* Rebecca

I have coffee when I wake up, and generally, I have my breakfast an hour to two hours later, when my stomach "wakes up." It is extremely unusual for me to be ravenously hungry when I wake up, so this works out pretty well for me. Coffee while I check email, draw up my "to do" lists for the day, and feed my son. Second cup…

Irritates me: People who leave the machines dripping with butt and/or hand sweat (UGH) Machine hogs (YOU are the reason the gym has a limit on treadmill/elliptical time) Television hogs (Maybe YOU want to drop dead on the treadmill watching "American Gladiator," but I'd rather not) Gym "scenes" (This is why I avoided clubs…

Look at the insulter and say, "Are you *still* talking?"

Can be a pain in the *kitten*, but my husband seems to really, really like them, so I like them, too. It can be a challenge finding the right sports bra, but Title Nine Sports carries some humdingers. Mine don't change much, regardless of my overall weight, which will be very interesting once I reach my goal weight. I…

My military ID goes under Lefty. My cash goes under Righty. My keys, when I have to carry them with me, go in the middle with the iPod, which is in a neoprene jacket, so boobsweat can't hurt it. It's like having my own carryon luggage. BTW, Title Nine Sports carries great sports bras for us Dolly Parton types. The one I…

I'm finally getting the convertible I've wanted for the last forty damned years. James Bond, move over!

Welcome to the site! I'm glad you found us, and I'd love to have you add me. Friend request sent.

Excellent work! You did just great! :)

Elliptical, especially when the weather is foul. Dancing anytime.

We all go through slumps. You just need some friends to help you get to the end of yours. Hang in there!

Wow! You've done a lot of hard work, I can tell! What a difference you've made! WTG! :)

You have nothing to be discouraged about, period. You are exercising very well, getting lots and lots of cardio and muscle work, and you're calorie tracking. It is most likely you're swapping fat for muscle. Muscle is more dense than fatty tissue, so it weighs more than fat. But because it is more dense, it occupies less…

Hey, and welcome! Tracking food and exercise can be important tools in improving your health, and I'm glad you found your way here. Stick to it, don't be hard on yourself when you slip up, and you'll make it to your goals :) Feel free to add me. Rebecca

Well done! Man, what is it about a pair of jeans that can either crush or elate us? WTG!
