Survey Says....
Hey All, I need some assistance!! Every year, my family gets together for a Christmas gathering. We eat, play games and have loud "discussions" about things that families generally shouldn't discuss (like politics and religion). I'm in charge of the games this year. We did Family Feud last year and some of my relatives…

100+ lbs GONE FOREVER (with pics)
I am officially down 130 lbs, as of this morning. I wish that I had a real before pic, but this one that I have here was a month into my journey and I was already down 24 lbs. I have a goal to lose another 33lbs which in the big picture, sounds like peanuts compared to what I've done so far, but I also recognize that the…

One year and 140 lbs

Needed Some Motivation
Hi there!! I'll try and make this as short & sweet as I can, as I know everyone's just here to look for pics. :-) This morning, a friend at work told me that I was looking skinny.

Need Opinions....
Some of my friends may know this already, others may not...After five years of marriage and another six years of dating before that, I've decided to divorce my husband. Irreconcilable differences, I guess is what you'd say. I don't hate the guy - in fact, I still care about him. But he's just not the man that I want to…

This is what 100+ lbs looks like
This weekend, I stood up in my best friend's wedding. The dress that I wore is 6 sizes smaller than the dress that I wore to my 10 year high school reunion last year. Yeah, six sizes. As of last week, I'm down 100 lbs from my official starting point in April. I don't know exactly how much I weighed at the time of my…

So, I'm sure many of you are in the same boat I am - lost some weight - clothes are too big, but you don't want to spend the money to buy new ones, only to have to get rid of them again in a few months.

Halfway to my goal weight
Okay, a little more than halfway, but close enough. I've lost 80 lbs so far. My goal is to lose 150 altogether and then reevaluate and decide if I want to lose more. The "befores" here are actually 1 month into my weightloss, as I didn't think to take a starting weigh pic, so I was already down 20 lbs in this first pic.…
