    You're eating too much. You HAVE to eat less and be miserable for the rest of your life to lose weight. You're going to die.






    LoL. Seriously, though, you look AMAZING!! :love: :flowerforyou:

    OH NO! You poor girl. It looks like you have lost inches! Seriously, the road map is awesome and so are you! Looking great!!!

    Yeah just a few....like 30" difference from pix 1 to 2! Definitely making healthy choices most of the time, but I sure do eat half of a pizza once a week on pizza night and even eat ice cream too (measured out with my digital scale). I eat with sense, I live life. This, I can do forever.

    Thanks to everyone for your kind words!

    "Not trying to"? Does this mean you were just eating and logging, without a specific calorie goal, or beyond your calorie goal? I think the Road Map can be, and is, for everyone - you have to plug in your own numbers, hit your macros, do the work, and yes, sometimes you have to adjust things along the way until you find the best numbers for you. And you have to be patient, because sometimes it takes weeks for the body to adjust.

    It has been slow, but the Road Map has been working for me! I was stuck for years and going up and down (up from the binging.. >.<), now it has been slowly down and Im not tired anymore! before I had to take naps every day or suffer :/

    Yay for eating! Congrats on your loss! :)

    That's really inspiring and great to know! I also do a lot of running/weights and had been afraid to take on board too many calories but so far it's been working for me and like yourself I feel like I'm eating more rather than less. Well done, you look great!

    I call training on this one.
    It's not the food its the routine.

    Excellent results, and great attitude to hold on through a time where perhaps you might have desired to see more movement on that one little thing on the floor, rather than movement on you.

    Hard concept to wrap mind around since it's many times the visual that is the slap on the face to do something, but then it's sadly the scale where progress is measured.

    Still wish you could make your own ticker for bodyfat%, or inches, or deadlift, ect.

    WOW! Amazing work, well done.You look fantastic and, more to the point, HEALTHY. And thanks for posting, stories like this are so inspiring. MFP had me at 1320, I wasn't eating back my exercise cals and I felt terrible - a hungry, miserable b*tch. Now I have energy...and I only discovered IPOARM a week ago! Hoping to post my own success story on here one day :happy:

    Ha Ha! Seriously, about 30 inches. Here are my measurements from just before I started IPOARM (in the first picture) and from about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I've lost 2.5 lbs since these were measurements taken, but I haven't gotten out the measuring tape to update. I'm 171 lbs but at what is considered "acceptable" BF% of 26.2%.

    8/1/2012
    > 11/8/2012
    Bust - 40.5
    > 36.75 = 3.75
    Chest - 35
    > 30.75 = 4.25
    Hips - 44.5
    > 38.25 = 6.25
    Waist - 32.5
    > 28.75 = 3.75
    L thigh - 28
    > 25 = 3
    R thigh - 27.75
    >25 = 2.75
    L arm - 14
    >12.75 = 1.25
    R arm - 14.5
    >13 = 1.5
    L calf - 18.5
    > 17 = 1.5
    R calf - 18.25
    > 17 = 1.25
    Total Inches Lost = 29.25

    Sure can be done..People soon will realize it is what calories you are putting in instead of the amount.....I Love it and you look great....

    well of course you can eat a **** ton of calories if you put in the exercise. Thats not surreal. Surreal would be eating 2000 calories and sitting on your *kitten* all day and still not gain weight.
