I signed up for a marathon. Eeek!

Hi! I was almost at the same starting place as you. Here are my stats: 5'2' SW 253 lbs CW 158 lbs GW 125ish lbs I had a VERY hard time noticing for the first 40 or so pounds. I didn't really notice until I was around 200lbs. It took a really long time before my clothes felt big or I could see changes in the mirror. Now, I…

Hi. I'm 5'2" and down about 102lbs from my highest weight. At least 25lbs to go, and I'll get there slowly but surely.

Cookies. I've gotten much, much better at moderation, but having cookies in my apartment is problematic. Recently, I brought home a box of cookies from the store. They sat in my cupboard unopened for about a week. Then I got some bad news and my thoughts immediately turned to the cookies. The next hour went a lot like…

1. My stretch marks have gotten lighter, but not are still there. I don't think that they ever go away. 2. I still have gorilla-like hair, BUT it's easier to deal with now because there is less surface area to shave. And lady bits are easier to reach. 3. Can't comment on PCOS, but check out this super inspirational success…

Hi! I don’t really have much to add, but wanted to cosign the already great advice that has been given here. Take things one step at a time. Losing weight and building a healthy lifestyle to maintain that weight requires forming new habits. This takes time and baby steps. Starting logging your food now to see where you’re…

I'm also in the food scale camp for all the reasons listed above. While it's not actually a purchase, I'd also check out these posts to help you get started: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1…

I was finally able to complete 5 full sets of OHP at 50lbs!

Now that my stomach isn't in the way, I can fold (almost) in half to do the blow-dry-my-hair-upside-down-because-I-can't-use-a-round-brush-to-get-volume-thing. Before, I would be at an almost 90 degree angle with one hand on the counter for support. Now I can just fold over and bam! Cute hair!

Anyone can add me! I log in everyday.

Yes! I've been down about 75lbs for a few years now, but whenever I walk through a restaurant I *still* worry about fitting between the chairs and the tables. I suck it in Every. Single. Time. It's always a relief when I just slip through.

Awesome!! Love to see that the bra rolls are improving! Gives me hope :flowerforyou:

All of the suggestions so far are great! I would only add one thing. Even though I've been living an increasingly healthier lifestyle for the past three years, sometimes I still get frustrated by having to *think* about healthy choices, going to the gym, tracking calories, planning meals, macros, preparing healthy food,…
