Same here. I also want to be able to shop at Victoria's Secret and Look GOOD in what I purchase!

I will eat a REAL hamburger and spicy fries. Go to the gym. Buy a whole new wardrobe Have four tats reworked because I was young, stupid and had friends that could build their own homemade tattoo guns and I had available skin. I WILL go out somewhere and be dressed in something that makes me feel sexy, not frumpy.

Thanks everybody, I knew I could count on you all! I had never heard of mixcloud, but I am going to try it out and see how it goes. I love the diversity and wide range of music that was recommended, keep it coming, it's great!

I am a DDD and believe it or not, Walmart has Fruit of the Loom brand that works wonderful (and comes in packs of 3's)

Thank you all!! I am a HUGE Pandora fan, and was able to add most of the artists/songs to a workout station. You all are GREAT!!

LOL, a box of black pepper. I guess I am screwed. At least they;ll have seasonings!

Thanks, everyone! I have noticed loss of inches in my legs and hips, but not in my "belly" (region below my belly button) if my rolls have gotten thinner, I've not noticed, do you all measure each area at the largest "roll?"

This will be my first time in a group challenge, but would love to participate!

Hmmm...Let's see if I can get this right. S- Up my water intake to 8 cups per day M- Lose 15 pounds A- STOP THE SUGAR/CARB SNACKING! R- Choose lower calorie smart carbs T- Goal of November 30th. Did I get the goals right?

Hi, all, I've lost around 50 and even though my ticker says I have 70+ to go, I truthfully have about 95 pounds (give or take 5 pounds) to get to my overall goal. I'd love to support and have support of anyone else on this journey!

Thank you! That makes a great deal of sense to me, b/c I recently was able to add sandwiches back in my diet. So, I know my carb intake increased by at least 50%. Thank you!

I know, I just didn't elaborate in my reply. I was in doctor the other day over my low cals and she said that as long as my water intake is acceptable and my labs remain stable, I was ok with what was going on with losing/vs/gaining. I am just curious if anyone else sees that they have to maintain that low of a cal intake,…

I have "experimented" with it for quite a while now. It was only recently that my calorie level was below for more than a couple of days to where I noticed that all my weight loss times were those where cals stayed below 800.

Don't worry, I am under the care of several doctors on this journey. :)

Congratulations! My husband and I are on this weight loss journey together, too. I am so glad you posted!

Everyone is welcome to add me, as well. Plenty of support (that you CAN get on MFP) is vital to successful weight loss!

Bruno Mars, The Lazy Song "Today I don't feel like doing anything..." "....................nothing at all." LOL

Mine was second hand. I absolutely LOVED that car and cried like a baby when it could no longer be fixed. It was Red interior and black exterior.

no pic, but a 1979 Chevy Monza that did 110 mph in a quarter of a mile... I loved my first car.

My weight hasn't been changed on my license since I was 19 and 186 pounds. I haven't weighed near there since my early 20's, and they never ask, I don't volunteer!!! lol

Congrats!!! You're on my friend list, so I see your posts, and your victories all the time. You are an inspiration!

I started the Topamax and Adipex together, today. So far, it's doing pretty good. I haven't been hungry or nauseous. I am Keeping a journal and will update every 4-7 days. I hope it works for me as well as it has for you! FYI: I already took Topamax for Migraines, but had stopped taking it when I was prescribed adipex.…

I take Topamax for headache prevention and have recently been given Adipex (will start taking daily, tomorrow) Does the combo together really help with weight loss? Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for friends and support!

I love Bohemian and Hippie styles, in NORMAL SIZES!!! I can't wait to shop...just shop, for everything, in the Regular clothing department. Anything that is not considered plus size, I'd be ecstatic with. Oh...I want to wear a tank top and skinny jeans, and it look GOOD on me!

Forearms. I know, sounds weird, but I love to see the muscles strain and move. Especially on a guitarist.

I started at 297, as of 9/14 I weighed 258. I still do not look any different, I just notice that my clothes are looser. Will be adding pics, as soon as I figure out how. I have 93 pounds to my ultimate goal! Anyone with a lot to lose, feel free to add me!

I am a homebirth midwife, now, while I am not a doctor, I deal specifically with pregnant ladies. The 2300 calorie rule, is pretty normal. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water, each day. Think HCG increasing your metabolism, the baby is getting many of your calories, each minute. Whether you are actively eating…

Do you mean Pheromones? I know that men and women release pheromones, and some men are really sensitive to its' smell... I've noticed it with men (not that I go around sniffing them, mind you lol)

Pine-Sol. I am SO addicted, I will go down the aisle and can NOT pass a bottle without taking the cap off to smell it. My hubby hates it, but OMG it reminds me of...clean. I have kids, I don't get that often. LOL.
