Low-Cal Ranch Dressing
I found this on Pinterest like 6 months ago and just tried it last night. And it is delicious!! Mine worked out to 15 calories for 2 tablespoons of dressing (I used the buttermilk ranch dressing packet which is 0 calories). Super quick and simple, too!…

Since cake seems to be a thing right now...
1 Box of Super Moist Cake Mix 1 cup nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt 1 cup of water Follow baking directions on cake mix box and voila! (might want to check it when there's about 10 minutes left...doesn't seem to take as long as "real" cake) Super incredibly moist cake. I used the Betty Crocker Triple Fudge and mine came out to…

Plus Size Pear Shaped Jeans
I know topics like this have been posted before, but here we go. I have the hardest time finding jeans that fit over my thighs and butt that don't gape at the waist. As an additional problem, I still wear plus sizes (20 or 22, depending) so a lot of the suggestions I've read here don't work for me because I can't find the…

Pantyhose
I just finished fighting on a pair and I'm remembering why I hate these effing things and never wear them :laugh: I'm seriously hoping it gets easier as I lose weight though :) For all us fat chicks, does anyone have a brand they prefer? I'm in love with the "Curvation" line :heart: (Well, as much as you can "love"…

Thank You!
Just wanted to say "Thank You" to everyone who's posted their success stories recently! I was on a road trip for almost a month and just completely fell off the wagon...your stories have reminded me what I'm working towards and now I'm as dedicated as ever! So thank you and you all look AMAZING! Congrats to everyone!…

"You are fat"
So I find myself in the middle of a debate about Chick-Fil-A last night on Facebook. One guy's argument consisted of "You are fat". Another's argument ended with "You should really stay away from fast food anyway- you don't need it". Now, I'm not denying I'm fat. I've been fat pretty much my entire life. It's not like…

Sodium
So just out of curiosity, I started tracking my sodium. Today, I'm like waaaaay over the MFP setting for it, and I'm curious if it's that important for someone who doesn't have any issues with blood pressure or anything. Thoughts?

Lost a Whole Person!
Ok, so the other day I was feeling crappy about myself because I haven't come as far in a year as I had hoped. (I've lost about 68 pounds in a year, had hoped to lose at least 20 more than that). So I was talking to a friend of mine and he was trying to encourage me and he says "Seriously, that's amazing. You lost my 7…

NSV - Workout Clothes
Was at Target yesterday and walked by the "Active Wear" section and remembered that I wanted to look for new workout clothes. The set I have is getting annoyingly loose and is too hot for summer. They didn't have "plus sizes" so I just went for the biggest size they had...and they fit! Even the pants, which is huge for me…

Party Today!
Going to a purse party today and I'm not sure exactly what kind of food is going to be there. Planning on eating something before I leave, to kind of dampen the urge to snack. Any other suggestions? I've decided I'm not going to freak out if I can't track everything, or if I go over, but it would be nice to not have it be…

Out of the 290's!
No pics, because it's just a tiny victory but.... I've been stuck in the same 10 pounds or so gaining, losing, gaining, losing for about the last five months or so. Got on the scale this morning and I FINALLY broke out of the 290's! I'm sure it's not a big deal to a lot of you but...I haven't seen my weight at "28-"…

It's Been a Year
Tomorrow is my one year follow-up from having my lap band surgery. Since then, I've lost about 66 pounds, 4 dress sizes and gained a whole new level of confidence. A little nervous about going in since I haven't done as well as I'd wanted but...overall, I feel really good :)

Food = Comfort
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a parent. I haven't yet had children, so I don't honestly know that much about having little ones running around under foot while you're trying to get things done. That being said, I spent a few days with my bestie a week or so ago while her husband was out of town, and this is what I…

"Ideal" Body
So, here's my thing. I don't want a super toned/athletic looking body. I want to be a little soft, a little squishy. But...I don't want to be flabby and saggy. It seems like, around here, the options are toned and muscely (ha, not a word...y'all know what I mean) or flabby and saggy, even if you're "thin". I know that I…

The Long and Short of it...
A comment in another thread made me think of this: Guys, do you prefer long or short hair on a woman? Or just what "looks nice"? Ladies, long, short, bald? Don't care? Personally, for guys, I just like what looks good on them. Some men look HOT bald, others look drop-dead sexy with a long, neat ponytail. My husband, OTOH,…

(I hope that ^^^ works, lol...haven't tried posting pics on this site yet...) Edit: AHH! Pic was HUGE lol! Need to resize I…

Hello!!
New here, but certainly not to weight loss, lol. 27 years old, currently living in Pittsburgh, PA. Over the last year I've lost about 60 pounds, but I still have another 110 or so to hit my goal weight. Looking forward to hanging out, learning new things and hopefully making some new friends! :)
