That is awesome!! Great job!  

Don't let your weight put a damper on all your amazing news! I hope everything else falls into place!

Quoting TooManyWordsToKnow=D:" I weighed in today at 247! I have been exercising a little more and feel pretty great about that. My eating I think has been a lot better too, I am ready to go shopping for some veggies!"

That's great! Good job and keep it up!!

Thank you   Yeah the stall isn't getting me down since I KNOW it is not from not eating good enough or not exercising enough because I'm doing perfect but rather more than likely my body holding onto the weight because I'm losing so fast. Yeah really going to come down to finances regarding childcare for the kids so I'm looking around and trying to figure all that out.

2/27! and ty I'm just in shock!

How are you ladies doing?
I know its been awhile and I hope its ok that I just pop back in here. I started my new position at work January 10th and I have been working so much. I have been trying to now weigh myself every week but I can see a difference in myself. I went to the ER last Monday because I had kidney stones and I was done to 179.6! I dont remember the last time I was in the 170s!
Today I deep cleaned the whole house and then sat down to catch up on some shows. I started catching up on The Biggest Loser and watching the people on there just motivated me so much. We have lived in our place for 6 months now and my exercise stuff has just been sitting in a corner in the basement. I decided to go down there and pull it out. (dont mind the junk in the back and the ugly walls, it is the basement after all lol)
I just got done exercising and I feel great. 20 mins on the elliptical and 20 mins on the treadmill. Not very long, but man, my legs feel like jello lol.

These are the first pictures I posted in here...taken on December 30th.

Then these were JUST taken. Same outfit as well except my black sports bra is in the washer lol

I dont know if there is a difference, but I feel like my face is thinner and when I go into my old job (Where my last day was January 8th) everyone says I look thinner. Dont know if they are just trying to be nice tho lol.

Oh and tomorrow I want to go buy some hand weights for when I run on the treadmill

You look great in the pics, I can def see a difference! I am sorry to hear you had kidney stones   Keep up the great work!

Thanks! It was horrible. Im so glad I passed it lol.

So, I tried finding a picture at my biggest, but now I am a little bummed, because, even though I have lost over 30 pounds I don't really see a difference. Oh well I will keep posting pics monthly I think, I know eventually I will see some progress.

I messed up the editing and was too lazy to fix it, the first is my highest weight at about 280 around July 2012, the second pic is in January of this year around 256

Ahhh yay!!! Make sure to share some pics when you get a chance. What does he think about your new body??!!!!

Af is here and I feel sooo bloated. It is making me feel huge    It makes me feel like all the work I have done to lose the 7lbs since Christmas have been undone overnight!! I am pretty sure its temporary from af but its still so discouraging. Is there anything yall do during af to help with this or get rid of it quickly after she leaves?
