I don't know how to fix the pics, but WOWWWW!!!!! You look AMAZING!!!!! Yay for you!!! :smile: :smile: :flowerforyou: :smile: :smile:

BUMP!!!

Great topic by the way!!! It's really encouraging to see how other people are doing!!! One seed of wisdom for everyone here though - DON'T get caught up in how fast other people are losing weight!! I have learned that comparing myself, my progress, or my circumstances with others, just leads to frustration and/or…

I have to update my ticker this morning still, but I'm down 29 in under 3 months (I think today is 11 weeks...I need to go back and check!!)

YAY!!!!! Welcome!!!! This is the start of a new, healthy, and joyously happy YOU!!!!!! You will love it here!!! Don't forget to ask for help if you are struggling, or even if you are just having an off day!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! Also, don't forget to celebrate EVERY victory, no matter how small it seems at the time!!!!…

Look at you cinching your waist in with a belt - SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!! You look FABULOUS!!!!!! =)

I have banned all processed foods from my life for the past 80 days (going for at least 90), so I haven't had ANY of the ingredients in these two sandwiches in months, but here are two: FAVORITE - GRILLED peanut butter and jelly - I'm not sure why so many people find this disgusting - it is QUITE delicious!!!! LOL!!!! The…

Free range all the way.

Drop and give me one soldier!!! LOL!! Great post!!!

Is it perhaps a time of the month where you would be retaining some water?? :wink: :wink: :wink: :laugh: :laugh: Regardless - stop stressing about it!!! If you are making LIFESTYLE changes (which I really hope you are), you have to think about the big picture!! I'm not saying that wanting to look good in a bikini in two…

May I ask what your calorie goal is?? 550 cals is a lot to be under on a REGULAR basis. If it was just one day - don't stress about it!!! I totally have days like that, and then I just know that tomorrow, I am going to have to plan my meals better. Sometimes if it is 7pm, and I still have a lot of cals left, I just have…

I had a Proform - sold it when I moved 2,000 miles. :( It was amazing!!! I miss it!! My mom purchased the same model that I had, and after a solid 8+ years, it is still going strong!! She uses it all the time. You can usually get REALLY good deals on HSN, with free delivery, and flex pay (even on your debit card, they will…

BUMP!!!

That sounds fabulous!!!!

I'm in!!! Please add me!!

First of all, you have to get to a place where you find yourself attractive - if you are not confident in your own beauty, it is conveyed in the way that you carry yourself, and can attract the WRONG kind of men. Men LOVE confident women - big, small, tall, short, it doesn't matter!! If you are confident, it is attractive…

You have no right to judge her simply because she weighs less than you!!! She is on this site because she wants to be fit and healthy, and right now she is struggling, so she is asking for help. If you have solid advice for her, by all means post it. If not, please don't be discouraging. :flowerforyou: To the OP - Don't…

#1 - You can do this!!!!! I understand the whole frustration thing, and it being hard to get motivated. I started out with my eating. I got rid of all of the junk, and ate clean while working out only a couple of times a week. Now that my eating is conquered, I am exercising six days a week, and am LOVING IT!!! #2 - Talk…

I'm really proud of you!!! You have come SO far, and you ran a stinkin' MARATHON!!!!!! Wow....I mean....WOW!!!!! You are hard core!! I love that you have a plan, and are dedicated to following it wholeheartedly!!! You can do this!!! Strike that - YOU ARE DOING THIS!!! Don't give up, don't get discouraged, and DON'T be too…

BIg difference!!!! Upper arms, stomach, calves, and ankles all look smaller!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!! You are doing SUCH a great job!!! Don't ever give up, and do not allow discouragement to creep in for a moment!!!! I would suggest that you take measurements!!! Sometimes you can't tell a difference, but when you measure, you…

^^^^^^This!!!! 100%

YUM!! I may try this with coconut flour and ground flax instead of the oat flour and protein powder (I have yet to find one without whey, dairy, gluten, sugar, artificial sugars, and all of that junk that I don't want in my body - if anyone knows of a truly great one, let me know!!)

BUMP!!!
