You look SO good! & your body is so well proportioned, you should be proud of yourself for coming so far.  

And thank you! I'm really pushing myself these last few months.  

I'm a coffee person too.   I've been alternating my morning smoothies with a iced coffee smoothie I've been making with this protein shake stuff. It's not nearly as good as the real thing, but it helps curb the urge to go and spend $6 on an amazingly delicious coffee across from my work.

lol! Man, I worked at Borders before, and they had a Seattles Best Cafe inside it. Smurf, I seriously drank huge sugary coffee drinks ALL day. LIke 3 or 4 of them in a work day, on top of soda and junk like that on my off hours. No wonder I put on so much weight! haha. And thanks. I'm coming along! I'm really hoping my boobs shrink. They have one size, which I'm thrilled with! I'm down to a D. I'd love to get to a C or B. After I lose all my weight I might consider a lift and reduction depending on how much more I lose.

Thanks. Here is a picture from a while ago before i started losing weight as a comparison:



So I've lost quite a bit! At my highest, when I had my son, I was at like, 220 I think? I got down to 180 without really trying (which is what I was before I got pregnant. I gravitate towards that point). Then I've been workign really had to get to 157 where I am now.

Well you really look amazing and have come a long way!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Im feeling pretty sore and tired today. I worked out 2 times yesterday on the elliptical and also watched my calories. Oh what I would do for a $6 coffee right now lol. I am gonna walk on the elliptical for 30 min this morning hopefully if I can get my butt up and going.

I always feel better after working out! I wish I was more confident, because I'd love to run outside. I'll run on the treadmill, but I really really love a nice walk/run outside, in the fresh air.

Just got done with my morning workout. Really kinda kicked my butt. I think its gonna take some time to work up to a longer time like I originally wanted to start out as. Ill do another workout tonight. I havent been able to weigh myself in months because the battery in our scale needs replaced. I am headed to the DR today so I guess ill know then what I weigh. I am not looking forward to knowing   But at least then Ill know what I am working with I guess. Do any of you ladies use my fitness pal?

Quoting aℓyssa™:" you guys.. I have baby fever so bad.    I promised myself the next time I get pregnant I'll be ... [snip!] ... and I decided to wait to TTC until July (I know he's as anxious as I am) and I need to stick to thattttttttttt. HELP!   "

I am no help lol... Whenever I've gotten it I haven't been able to control it! The only thing I can suggest is making it your reward for hitting the goal of weight loss that you want. Only once you've met it can you ttc? Idk is that messed up thinking?

Wow you look so good!!

I love my coffee and creamer too. I know that I need to cut back on it!

I've never tried that one, I use fatsecret currently to track my intake for the day and my weight.

That's what I'm considering, but I'm sure in the heat of the moment, I'll kinda forget.    

It's so bad too, but conceiving in July/August would just be best for us, so I know I should really wait until then.. butttttttttttt...

I swear the scale at the doctors is always off!  

I've tried using MFP, but I always forget after 4-5 days, lol.

Thanks. It's for sure my bad habit. I've done good cutting out most candy, and we almost never buy soda anymore. But coffee? I love my coffee, and I need a few cups throughout the day.

Hahaha I always think that too but surprisingly my weight was lower than what I had guessed it was so maybe its even a little lower than that too   I need to get a battery for my scale!!! But its a small round one and those ones always cost so much!
