MFP Gets Thumbs Up!!!
I have only been a member for a month now. When I started, I was tested for my metabolism and it was found to be running low...no surprise, so is the thyroid. When this test was done last month I was put on a 1500 calorie plan, and was told to keep track of EVERYTHING I ate. The first couple of days, it drove me nuts…

my pants are having a bad day
I bought a pair of 16 slacks two months ago because the 14's were just too snug. They fit pretty good, too good actually:cry: Anyway, I put them on this morning and I noticed I needed a belt. I have been wearing them all day. I feel slouchy in them, so I had to break the news to them and tell them this would be the last…

Shrinkage
I have gained a couple pounds since I started, but I've lost .75cm from my waist and 1cm from my hips. I wish there was a line to add my thigh measurments cause I'm sure those are shrinking and toning up due to my dancing as well. I'll gladly trade muscle for fat!

Europe...here I come!

I just have to say...
When I was at my heaviest 2 months ago, I couldn't even wrap my bath sheet round me, it was around 2-3 inches too small! Today, I had a shower after work, grabbed the same towel, and wrapped it - absent mindedly around my body, and guess what??? IT FITS - with an overlap all the way down !!!! I'm soooooo happy :bigsmile:…
